<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Thursday, August 03, 2006 :: It's been tough lately, with the unbearable heat and house stress, for Alex and I. So last night I decided we should treat ourselves to movie. We saw Clerks II. Bad choice. Don't see it, because if you like Kevin Smith, you'll be sad. Still, it was a nice night out, if it hadn't been for my raging migraine. We got home and I had another weird moment of feeling emotional about the house - just realizing that I friggin LIVE there and it's MINE. Alex and I laid on the floor together and just talked. We're both feeling a little restless, although for completely different reasons. I have to figure out how to stop being upset about an unkempt, unfinished house. I need to find my zen garden deep inside and go back there whenever I feel that I'm about to drown. And then there's the long weekend. I made the mistake of getting excited about it. Now I realize there's nothing to get excited about. I'm not doing anything anyway. This is a very quick way to get depressed, so I'm trying to think of good ways to entertain and zen myself out. Oddly, I'm having trouble. :: Cathy 10:32 AM [+] :: 2 comments :: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 :: I'm pretty fascinated by trying out new web tools/software. So today, I set up a Yahoo 360 blog to just talk about that kind of crap, since it's more professionally related and I'm not sure about posting that to this blog, since this blog tends to be more personal. So here's my page: http://ca.360.yahoo.com/webgoddesscathy I'm kind of interested in seeing what this 360 thing is all about. Theoretically, I can connect my images from Flickr here, but it doesn't seem to want to let me do that. Grr. This space may be completely useless, but I'm doing a test, just as I did with the MSN space. It seems to be more useful so far. Aside from having cute Avatars (that's the cartoony-me picture that you'd see on my yahoo page). Anyway, in my blog, you'll see that I started up a del.icio.us account too. That's just a place on the Web where you can store your bookmarks. I was tired of not finding the bookmarks I needed because they were on my computer at home or I'd forgotten to export them from my last workplace or whatever. In other news, it is too hot to be outside and just hot enough to be inside, happily geeking out in my air conditioned office. Soon, Sara with no 'h' will come to my house to help drink up some of the left-over house warming party wine. I think we'll have to sit in my basement as there is still no air conditioning Chez WebGoddessCathy. :: Cathy 12:30 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, July 30, 2006 :: Well, the party was a totally fun! Lots of people came by. There was a steady stream that started with my parents at 11:30am (who helped me finish up a few things - thank you!) and ending with Alex's degenerate band members at 1am ;) Thanks to all who came by - I loved taking everyone through the house on tours, even though it was ungodly hot. The air con hasn't been decided on yet, but with the Home Depot gift certificates, we're definitely going to get a ceiling fan soon, which should help a LOT! We also got lots of wine, an IKEA gift certificate and a few really thoughtful unique gifts and food (homemade hummous and pesto-cheese spread). Thank you to everyone for the gifts - we really appreciate it! I don't think I sat down all night. Having a small house means that the guests were spread out over the night, which was fantastic because I got to talk to more people, but it also meant that I needed to clean up some space for the next round every time. Actually, my mom and Alex's mom also helped in that regard (thanks again!). I'll tell you, the meeting of the families was a little weird, but seemed to go OK. So now I'm very very tired and faced with a ginormous clean-up job. But that's OK. I had a wonderful time and now I can relax in our home! :: Cathy 6:26 AM [+] :: 2 comments
