Trick or treat at work

Every Halloween the employees bring their kids around to trick or treat. I moved to the side building this year, so unfortunately, we didn't get near as many then I did in the main building. Either way though, it is still fun to see them all. We had a little Woody, a Dragon, Snow White, a princess and a few others. I was in the middle of my invoicing for the end of the month so I wasn't able to pay as much attention as I would have liked to. THey were cute though. Looking foward to see what tomorrow night is going to be like. We decorated our door and put big skelitan pictures up in our windows. We usually get quite a few trick or treators on Halloween. The only hard thing is that my Dog goes nuts everytime someone knocks on the door or if she hears people walking on the porch. I usually have to hop out the door and shut it real quick before giving out treats. Well, almost time to head out of work. It's been a crazy day. Lots to do, but I am so ready to get out of here.

Gold's Gym - Tips and Tools

via dev.goldsgym.com

So my Mom and sister got me Gold's gym membership for my birthday (which was yesterday by the way). I definitely need it, I'm just worried about how I'm going to fit it in and keep going on a regular basis. Seems like work is always so busy and I'm always so tired. I'm sure once it get going though I'll start feeling better. I might start by taking a couple classes. It's going to take awhile, but I'm excited to start using the membership.

Procrastination Is A Horrible Thing

What a long day. Work has been so busy lately. People were calling off the hook. I had several urgent classes to book. Presenters were calling with questions. To top it off I was taking calls for someone else since they were out of the office. It just seemed like it was non stop all day. Sometimes I'm so mentally exhausted by the time I get off of work. I have a big issue that I need to take care too that I have been totally dreading. I really, really needed to get to it today, but just couldn't find the time. I have to print off a ton of invoices too for someone else. Didn't get to that either. Hopefully I can get into work early in the morning tomorrow and start the day off on a good note. I'll get as much as I can done early, so that I can start working on my "issue" by early afternoon. The sooner I get that off my shoulders the much better I will feel. I hate having something drag on forever. It's my fault though. I let being too busy be an excuse for not taking care of it. Now it's a huge problem that needs immediate attention. That is why procrastination is such a horrible thing. Things do not go away, no matter how much you want them to, they don't. You can wish, but it won't happen. That's why it's always good to take care of something you dreading instantly. The sooner you take care of it, the easier it will be.... and less painful.

Learning new things

I'm so proud of myself today. Over the last few years I've learned how to create blogs, install plug ins, a little bit of html and how to work with an ftp. Yes, I definitely have much more to learn, but I think I figured out quite a bit on my own. One thing I would love is if there was a local HTML class I could attend. It would be great to have a better understanding of it. You know how community colleges always send out those magazines with their quarterly classes you can sign up for. The ones that extra for anyone to attend. Usually they can cost anywhere from $30 to $150.  I haven't seen any though about anything to do with html, programming or creating websites. I did see a class though about how to defend yourself from a zombie invasion. Yes, no joke. You can pay $35 for this. lol Anyhow, back to what I'm happy about. When I set up a new blog I sometimes spend hours trying to find the perfect theme. Usually it's to find the right header that would go with the blog that I'm working on. I know you can create one and just upload it and there are several people that you can pay to do this for you. Well... I learned how to create one myself today. It's nothing spectacular, but I think I did a pretty good job. All I needed was a picture and paint.net. I think it turned out pretty nice. I know the more I do it the better I'll get. Hmm, if I got good enough at it, I could create headers for other people.

Mia's Morning Ritual

Every morning around the same time, usually after my first alarm goes off my cat, Mia does the same thing. I like to set my alarm twice, once about 30 to 40 minutes before I'm actually getting up. That 7 minute snooze has never worked for me. Anyhow, these last few weeks Mia has been jumping up onto the night stand and she'll stand there staring down at me. Then she'll start picking at my hair. I'll knock her down 10 times in a row, but she just keeps jumping back up and doing it again. It's almost like she knows that I'm planning on getting up soon. She's my furry alarm clock. It's funny, but so annoying if I'm really not ready to get up yet.

Another Saturday

Nothing too exciting happened today. I worked online for most of the day while Tim played his video games. Tonight he's watching ultimate fighter, so I'm back online. He actually wanted to go to Applebees because they show the fights there, but honestly, I didn't really want to sit there for 3 hours and he didn't want to go alone. Anyhow, I have been doing quite a bit with internet marketing the last few years. This year I set up several Halloween sites which were doing really good. These last few days though sales seem to have really dropped. maybe it's now getting to close to the holiday so people aren't buying as much. I still need to get candy for my trickor treaters. We usually get a decent amount each year. I always end up with way too much candy though. I get a few bags and then think I don't have enough and run and get more at the last minute. Candy is so expensive now too. Most of the little bags of chocolates are $5 a piece and the bags don't even have that much in them. I don't remember it ever being that much when I was younger. I guess they figured people are going to buy it no matter what, why not jack up the prices.

BL Club - Running a 5K Article

via biggestloserclub.com

My sister wanted me to run a 5K with her. She loves running now. I feel so heavy on my feet I can't imagine running any length of distance. I've never been much of a runner, even when I was young, but I've also always been a little over weight. Definitely more overweight now than I was when I was young though. I don't know why it is so hard for me to get committed. I've tried different work out programs and I'll be really good for about 2 weeks and then quit. I signed up for the biggest loser club recently. I need to take more time and read through some things. I just ran across this article on running a 5K. It made me think of my sister and what great shape she is in.
