Grace and Chance, my little angels... I'm such a proud Aunt.
Turning 30
So, it's my 30th birthday, big deal right? We reach a certain point in our lives though where we expect to have accomplished certain things. This is one of them. I'm still wondering when I grew up.
Part of the drudgery of it all is that everyone expects me to be having this big party this year, and I would prefer to just spend the time alone with Paul. Of course, with my "need" to please everyone, I'm hoping that they'll be fine with it. People tell me time and time again not to worry about how other people feel. Blah, what kind of world would that be if we were all self-centered? Maybe I'm being self-centered for wanting to bring a child into a world that seems so full of turmoil and topsy-turvy... Is that really going to change though? I can't think of a time in history when there weren't issues, and most of us have turned out ok, right? Then I get these fanatics that mention the population control issues, but why is that my problem when I'd be happy if I could even have one, and there are people out there with 10+ children?
So, today I decided I was going to just relax and spoil myself tonight, well what happens, I get sick. Fun fun... so here I am... my 30th birthday, sitting home sick, and I'd rather be at work and at least have someone to talk with. SOOOOO, instead I'm going to medicate myself and make some hot tea and study MAS 4.0 instead. Actually, that probably sounds boring to some, but I do love what I do, and this is a huge release. Unless you are a true technogeek, I don't think you can fully understand the thrill new software features can bring... Yes, I'm a geek, but I don't mind.

Hurricane Charlie.
I heard from my parents and things are ok where they are. Damage, but thankfully the worst of the problem is a few down trees. They are in Orlando and the eye of the hurricane past right over them. My brother's neighborhood had more damage, but again thankfully they weren't hurt. After hearing damage reports and some of the reports coming from parts of Florida, I felt a sigh of relief when I talked with them this morning.
Cookies for G-Mail

Ok, if you are looking for a gmail invite, this is a cool place to go. Now, I didn't think I'd have anything that I could swap that someone would want. So, I looked through a few that were successful and offered cookies. If you have something to offer, you may want to check it out.

Blah blah blah blah blah
Ok, this is just some random psychobabble... Like I said, blah blah blah blah blah.
Been meaning to start my own blog for ages, of course intending to write it myself and host it myself. Well then I just spend all the time coding and none blogging... Blech! I finally realized I was simply procrastinating, because I'd never have time to make it perfect. So hey, this is simple, 5 minutes and I get to start.
I'd imagine most people won't find my ramblings very interesting. The most intense thing going on in my life is turning 30 on Monday. I had a list that I made when I turned 20 of 5 things I wanted to accomplish before turning 30. Well, I only managed to accomplish 1 of those things! And only just in time even. You ever wake up and wonder where your life went? I'm sure we all do. Well, before I turned 30 I wanted to get my Bachelor's, learn Icelandic, visit Egypt, go parachuting, be working for myself. Well, of those I got my Bachelor's, this past MAY! Talk about just in time. Ok, so learning Icelandic was next on my list. That will take a few years though, and I'm HOPING to have children soon. So I am moving working for myself up.
Well, now my list of 4 is a before I turn 40 list (OUCH!). I have to think of another thing to add to it. I figure by the time I'm 80, if I make it that long, I'll get through my before 30 list ;) Wish me luck.
So, look forward to my babblings or not, just please don't have me committed.
