Okay, I just can't help myself with the website designs...this one's caught my interest (for now, anyway).
A new year full of endless possibilities and potentials for my klutzy self to be injured. Already hurt my back, though not sure how...it involved (I think) rolling out of bed which is both funny and pathetic (though I defend myself with the fact that it's me, a husband, 2 cats and 2 dogs in the bed, which--for all those with pets know--means me sleeping on a ten inches of space and no blanket.
Just want to wish everyone big, glorious things for the year. May all your dreams come true. Just remember, that for dreams to become reality, you have to wake up.
How cool is this--seasonal websites?! Happy Holidays, everybody!!
So...almost the end of 2009 and I have to make a decision on this website design. Gotta admit, really digging the superhero theme, also have to admit, not so stoked on that weird windy sound...
In other news, thank you to all of you who loved the EPL presentations so much, you've made me a running series in the library. I'm doing a dream interpretation workshop in March (see above). We'll see how it goes.
To everyone, wishing you a fantastic holiday season and may all your dreams come true in 2010! And when they do, may you dream new ones for 2011.
Hello all and happy 2009! As regular visitors will note, I've changed the website a little...thought I'd shake things up for the new year...then again, I've never been one for shaking, so we'll see how long this design lasts...anyhow, have a wonderful new year and see you on the bookshelves! Also, I'm not exactly sure what the background music is on this site...I didn't choose it... I think it's supposed to be intense and super-hero-ish...I rather think it sounds just like you're in my head...whenever I try to think, or say something intelligent, I hear that same sound...aren't you scared, now? You're in my head...MY HEAD...MUWAAHHAAHAAH--*cough* *cough* sorry, choked on a chocoloate coffee toffee thingy...Just click on the icon of the music sign to shut it off...Okay, back to our regularly scheduled program...
The pressure is on to say something witty or existential on this, the front page. And true to my Chicken Little nature, the pressure proves too much. I've been staring at this page for over an hour (okay, and granted, the majority of the time has been taken with staring at the cars* going over the bridge, trying to convince my dogs and cats that I don't have any food for them (then sneaking chocolate when they're not looking), and wondering what I should have for lunch), but still, I'm on the page and staring.
And not a darn thing is coming to me, other than the urge to confess every misdeed in my life (I think it's the metaphorical spotlight of being the focus of a website). What are my misdeeds you ask? When we get boxes of chocolates from friends, I go through the box and take a bite out of the chocolates that I want. I know, I know. It's shameful. I'm a grown woman, what the hell am I doing gnawing on chocolate like a freakin' squirrel in nut withdrawal?
But it's true. I am a "I call Dibbs!" woman with the chocolate.
What else?
When I applied for a job with the government, I had to write a speech. So I did, and I referenced "Helpers Helping the Helpless," from Disney's The Weekenders, but I forgot to footnote the reference. In the middle of the night, I still wake up, drenched in a cold sweat, waiting for the spirit of Walt Disney to appear and kick my ass.
Please come and take a look around my site, shoot me an email.
Thank you for visiting my site.
*The original website desgin included a Flash thingy of cars driving over the bridge. It was super cool...I thought about re-writing the introduction, but the truth is, it's bang on my personality. I spend a lot of time staring at the computer screen (and fighting the animals for my food), so why not stick with the truth, eh?
