This weekend didn’t go exactly as planned. It never does when you don’t have a set agenda.
I’ve just taken my nightly dose of pills that assist in taking care of my cats- allergy pills… although something a little stronger would do the needful, but that’s not my style.
I didn’t watch any films, I didn’t play any games and I didn’t read any books. Friday night I had the annoyance of thinking I was talking with a friend, but the converation kept going back to a detail of a story dealing with my misadventure of helping build a race car- a piece of the story where a rotating wire brush hit my face, bounced off and shredded my silk blouse (I was in the garage inquiring the days agenda before I went up and changed into the jumpsuit). Yes. Shirt was shredded. Get freaking over it. It was a freaking detail of feeling like my face was ripped off, that and it was my favorite blouse. Needless to say I’m disappointed and not surprised.
Saturday Jonathon and I played some Cranium games which was pretty fun and funny, and then we did the Thriller dance before I posted it to AG (the 13+ minute video, not me dancing to Thriller). I gladly avoided talking to anyone and additionally I avoided working on my e-mail issue. My apologies to anyone who has written or has been expecting me to write back.
I know I stayed up pretty late flipping through channels, but that was the most exciting grown up thing I did all weekend. I watched a little of Mad TV, a little of SNL in between viewing HGTV- and then off to slumberland.
Obviously today I had a little of the redesign bug back today. I wanted to breathe life back to my old MysticalDawn.com girls (the one in my banner). It took a little bit of time to revive them, group them and make a banner that didn’t annoy me. With that I decided to go with a new site look so I can go full force with my Advice Column. I’ve opted to turn each question into it’s own post under the page of Advice. I was messing with comment codes through out the day and my old lay out couldn’t handle it. My new one has better features, but I could not soften up the hard coding enough to make it work. Given a little more time, I’m sure I could, but there are 2 dozen style sheets and the little piece of coding that has been holding me back cannot be found. I opt to have a life and forget about making the comments a little more advice column friendly.
So there you have it. My weekend has been sedate and yet busy.
Feel free to spill about your own so I can be green with envy and filled with ideas for the next weekend… which the next weekend is my Grandfather’s birthday. 
I just got the invite in my snail mail and ACK! I wound up having to take out a small loan to keep my electricity on and the loan won’t renew on Friday (I had made sure of it), so I won’t be able to get up there to celebrate. HOPEFULLY he’ll get my card and allow a visit over the summer… when I can use a cell phone to avoid getting lost like I’ve been really prone to do lately.
BAD timing! I’m also trying to figure out next months airport issue. I’m going to NYC on the morning of April 16th, and I can find a way there- it’s finding a way back that I haven’t been able to secure. If I opt to drive myself (which is preferred) it’d cost me almost $100 bucks to park. UNFORTUNATELY I’m flying back the evening in which everyone I know works early the next morning!
So a weekend wrap up- annoyed at not being able to make it at a family function in which I expect everyone to expect me not to show up and I hate that. I love my family, but so much time and distance has happened that I feel like a family failure when it comes to keeping bonds. I had sent holiday cards, written e-mails and no reponses to either. I’ve no idea if it’s me, the postal system and my web hosting company… or if it’s me. Give me the illusion that it’s the first two.
Weekend wrap up. The pills are kicking in, my vision is getting blurring and I’m being told by my body that it’s time to fall asleep- so I shall. I can’t believe I spent all freaking day on changing the look of this thing and I’ll bet everyone will prefer the old one.
