i'm retiring this account. it'll still be here, i'm just not going to be posting to it anymore. lj has been good to me, not going to lie. it was certainly handy when i was in europe even though i didn't post nearly enough. but now it's time to move on to a new platform that allows pictures! woot!

check out my new blog! :) Leave a comment

i chose wordpress for a new blog site. however, i'm still trying to work out the kinks. so i'm still writing here. i don't think i'll disable this blog. just not post to it when i go all out with the other. if you want to check it out now, it's halfwitmusings.wordpress.com. tell me what you think. i went with a pretty simple layout for right ( Read more... )

finally! hd channels for my hd tv! next stop, wait anxiously for dish network to get the local channels in hd. honestly, how does this company run when you can't get abc in hd, but hgtv in hd is just a given. bah. whatever. it was too much hassle and money to switch to direct. and cable... ha! that's just throwing money out the window. :p ( Read more... )

i think i haz it. :( boo. can't seem to figure out the ergonomically correct way to sit at my desk and my arm and wrist are paying for it. i think it all comes down to a short torso, a high desk, and a low chair [which is as high as it goes currently :(]. i think a trackball mouse is a near future investment as is a pillow for the chair. in ( Read more... )

hmmmm it's been awhile since i posted. i'm not going to lie, i'm thinking about moving to a new blog platform. livejournal doesn't make it all that easy to make this a fun blog without buying into it. and i don't want to have to buy into LJ to post pics if i can post them to blogger for free. something to think about ( Read more... )

ahhhh... vacation is so close i can taste it! i feel like everyone should get a month of in the summer months. just one whole month where you get to lounge around and do nothing. europeans do it. why can't we? i think i'd be a lot more productive if i got a month off every year. mmm ( Read more... )

i'm going to DC next week! omg! i'm excited because i've never been to DC before. i've never been on the east coast before! well maybe in Florida, but i don't really count that. i'm going with 2 coworkers to get trained in how to do casework for our armed forces services. we're going out really early on the first day so we can do some sight ( Read more... )

life on the liz front is ... here. not much happening. well that's not true. it seems i've been out every night this week with something. dog training, girls night, etc. and it's not like haven't been up to stuff in the last few weeks. we had our vagina monologues performance. that went off almost without a hitch. there were definitely some ( Read more... )
