Part 39
Thursday, April 1, 2004: Testing, testing. Is this thing on? We're over on our new web hosting now. Also Cat'r had to fix up the FrontPage extensions. Some things got wonky while we were over on Wasabi, and I had to do a total new upload of my site this afternoon. Hope everything is here! 8:11pm: Working on changing the navigation in several sections. It's already completed in the PalmPix section. I am currently working on this section, the (massive) CM's Diary. I still need to work on the Coolpix section and the Animal Crossing section. I think everything else is fairly easy to move around in...if it isn't, will you please tell me what needs to work better? Feedback is a Good Thing. :-) 9:37pm: CM's Diary is all done. Assembly-line HTML! Cut-and-paste is my friend. ::grin:: 11:03pm: The Coolpix section is now finished! Forgot I also have the Fuzzy Fotos, besides the Animal Crossing section. I hope to get both done tonight. :-) 11:21pm: Fuzzy Fotos section (all whopping three pages of it! heh) is finished! Friday, April 2, 2004, 12:20am: Whew! I finally finished the Animal Crossing section. FrontPage was being flaky about an older version of a couple buttons I'd uploaded ...or IE was being flaky in how it was displaying stuff. I had to eventually upload those two files via FileZilla. Okay, that made sense only to me. I must be reeeeaaaaalllly tired. 9:02am: No, I don't have a Blinkies Page up yet. But here is another little goodie I found! It's from Simply Graphics: So now we know what we always knew: when life gets you down, have sweets! Saturday, April 3, 2004, 2:20am: Greymatter....thinking about it for CM's Diary. Well, I would leave the pages that are as-is; but starting this month, I would use Greymatter. Cat'r will set me up with it if I want it...... ::blink blink:: I need to sleep. Did I *really* see that the forecast says we may have SNOW SHOWERS in a couple days?!? Sunday, April 4, 2004: [THE FOLLOWING WILL BE ENTRIES THAT WERE IN MY MOVABLE TYPE BLOG, BUT THAT I MOVED BACK OVER HERE, STARTING WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2004] 12:10pm: Off to play
Toontown.
I hope I can find a group to go in with, to fight the Vice President! I have
all my suit parts again and all my merits. 1:47pm: There was no one on Toontown that Lady Marigold and I know, so we were going to do 4-story buildings to work on maxxing her drop gag. But I got SO SLEEPY halfway through the first building, I had to say I couldn't do anymore now. At least she got the merits she needed for promotion, so she's also ready for the VP. :-) Monday, April 5, 2004: A frustrated little poem called "AARGH" has been added to The Poet's Corner. The most recent poems are now at the top of the list. Tuesday, April 6, 2004: I
found some absolutely gorgeous graphics over at
The Mousepad the other night, so I
plunked down the very small sum necessary to purchase a couple web sets from
Vikimouse, artiste extraordinaire. I joined The Garden of Friendship's Poetic Expressions committee--woo, that's gonna be fun!! Wednesday, April 7, 2004: I am
not posting the one poem I did last night until I find out if I may do that
now or later [EDIT Jan. 14, 2005: here it is!]--it was a little challenge assignment from the
GOF Poetic Expressions
committee. I didn't even title it (yet). You were given a list of ten words,
all of which you must use in a poem, no changes allowed to the words.
Interesting! 3:44pm: If you love bears (and who wouldn't?!), here is a beautiful page! It's called Burden Bear. This is what teddy bears are all about (besides their fun-loving secret lives when people aren't looking!). :-) Thursday, April 8, 2004, 1:42am:
Oh boy, I can see what I am going to be doing for the next day or so:
making an Easter quilt! I made one Easter quilt square; then I received a
very beautiful one from GrammyJ
tonight. I have to make an Easter quilt now. :-D Also next Wednesday night is a new episode of "Smallville", with the wonderful and courageous Christopher Reeve reprising his role of Dr. Swann. 6:56pm: New photos: I went out
this afternoon late to see what I might see. I thought, "Oh, it's up around
70 degrees F., I might even get too warm!" Was I ever wrong! Stiff chilly
breeze, even with the abundant sunshine! I was not able to get any beautiful
flower pictures; I had to settle for "arty" pictures. ::grin::
They are here. Saturday, April 10, 2004, 1:58am:
New quilt--well, the beginnings of one, which I'd better hurry up
with before Sunday! I started up My Easter Quilt
late this (last) evening.
Sunday, April 11, 2004, 12:33am:
Cat'r and I went riding today and saw lots of wonderful things! We also went
to the store, which was packed with people making last-minute Easter
purchases. I got us a little Easter Tree for a pittance! 10:44am: I have a new page of
photos up, but they are not by me--they are by
Dark Childe. The page is
Withrow High School in Springtime. Dark Childe
did not really care to put them up on hir website, so I asked if I could put
them on mine. DC said yes. :-) Withrow High School is my Alma Mater. 12:46pm: Wheeeee! I got
My Easter Quilt pieced together. :-) Go see!
I got a cute little blue bunny this morning! Photo will show up at some time. The guys got lots of candy from the Easter Bunny; but the Easter Bunny knows I have lots of allergies, so he brought me what I wanted anyway: a stuffed animal. :-) Monday, April 12, 2004, 9:46am:
I'm leaving the bunny splash page up for the rest of the week since I
am participating in a Secret Bunny (like Secret Santa) Exchange in the
Women of Strength and Inner Beauty. :-) 5:07pm: Rainy day today, but
that's fine with me. I like cool grey damp rainy weather. :-) Wednesday, April 14, 2004, 10:02am:
Another rainy day + music: That was yesterday. Chillier than Monday
even, steady rain, greyness. 11:01am: Yesterday I had
occasion to look at my Secret Bunny page [EDIT Jan. 14, 2005: no longer
there] on
Cat'r's computer--EEEEEEEK! He runs at a much higher resolution than I do,
plus he has a bigger monitor. I saw that the side-bordered background was
repeating! AARRGH! Thursday, April 15, 2004, 12:41am: I have the photos from Monday (the rainy-day photos) and some photos from this evening (it's still Wednesday to me) up now. They are on Page 15 of the Coolpix section. Friday, April 16, 2004, 11:48am: My artistic spirit is feeling smothered. Read here. 9:14pm: Who is Bunny Hugs??
(this is with regard to the WOSIB Secret Bunny
event) I know she was having trouble with her email client/service (Yahoo?)
earlier on, so it's possible she hasn't been able to send me the final
"revealing" message, as to who she really is. Saturday, April 17, 2004: Web
page/site design: regarding the use of unifying themes throughout my entire
site: bah, humbug! LOL! I like being an eclectic mousie! I like all
kinds of different pages. I like it to be a surprise wherever a person goes!
ANYONE COMING TO EVALUATE MY SITE
Sunday, April 18, 2004: New
bakery goods! I have added a couple sections to the
Bakery: my Pocket Bishoujo Captures
and my Pocket Seibutsu Captures (not very
many of this second batch, I'm afraid. Oh well! Maybe I can add to that). Monday, April 19, 2004: There
is now a subsection to My Treasures called
Teardrops (which are another form of globe).
Very pretty things they are, too! Wednesday, April 21, 2004, 1:36am:
Stuff that's been happening: 2:07pm: There are
more Springtime-y photos up. 10:35pm: I didn't think I
would ever do this, but I have begun a section for poetry by other writers.
The poem/song "Prothalamium" jumped into the forefront of my brain this
afternoon and demanded to be put on my website. So I complied. The
Poetry of Other Writers can be accessed off
my Poet's Corner section. Friday, April 23, 2004, 12:46am: A new poem, for/about a friend. :-) It's called Lady of Pens. 8:36pm: There is a thread about the game Animal Crossing over on Toontown Central; so I thought, since I posted in that thread and left the URL for my AC Diary, I should start putting more of my pics up! The new additions are on Page 3 and Page 4 at this point. More to come! Sunday, April 25, 2004, 2:27pm: A couple new things up in The Poet's Corner: one serious, one whimsical. :-) 3:07pm: Iron Chef America! If you haven't been watching "Iron Chef America", you should! You still have a chance to watch/tape the Making Of, all the battles, all of it! You can catch ALL the action tonight on Food TV from 6pm-11pm ET! Don't miss it! And check out all the extras at the Food TV website. (click on the picture to see it larger). Tuesday, April 27, 2004, 10:56am: Off to my PaintShopPro8 class in just a minute, but just wanted to say we're getting a NEW REFRIGERATOR! Yay! Read more about it here in my LiveJournal. Wednesday, April 28, 2004: Freeze warning! Wow, it's supposed to get down to 30-35 degrees F. tonight/overnight! It's 36 degrees F. (2 degrees C.) now! Brrrr. Friday, April 30, 2004, 9:02am:
Delivery Day for the new refrigerator! Hurriedly eating breakfast.
Bunnicula just got back with bags of ice for the cooler, for the few cold
items that need to be transferred after the new fridge cools down. 3:24pm: More than you probably
want to know about our new refrigerator. ::grin:: It's a brand-new GE. It's
slightly wider than the old one, maybe by an inch. This ended up being a
problem, as the plug into the socket on its one side kept if from sliding
back into its little niche properly. It ended up needing to have an
appliance extension cord running over to a fairly-nearby three-prong outlet.
