Julie's Journal

Oooh looky! A new blog post from me. I have absolutely nothing in my brain to write about. I’ve got a couple of medical issues that are weighing heavily on my mind and I really need to see a doctor although we have no medical insurance. Although I don’t think they are life-threatening, they are just really bothersome and annoying me.

The job front…sigh. There is a carrot that’s been dangling in my face for almost a month now, and I’m so damn hungry I just want to gobble it up and swallow it whole. I’m trying to hold my composure together when all I want to do is jump up and down and scream from the rooftops that I landed it, but so far there is no confirmation on that. It looks promising, but a signed contract would be so much better, right!!??

I’m antsy and anxious, and just not comfortable right now. I’m not sleeping well, and when I do sleep, I wake up in a ball of sweat. Michael is shivering under a mound of blankets, and I’m kicking them off like I’m sleeping on the sun.

I’m grumpy and grouchy and snapping at just about everyone, except my kitties, and Devin. I babysat him Monday night and he was just a joy to have. There would be a gazillion babies born each year if they all were like Devin. He loved being swung in the hammock; just look at this smile! He didn’t even seem to mind having the hammock cords embedded into his face either.

I think I just need a pacifier, a blankie, and my mommy. A swing in the hammock would be nice also.

I have been reading and researching the Thesis WordPress theme for about a month now. Although I haven’t purchased it yet, I did use it in a work proposal that I am hoping comes through soon so I can dig into this hot WordPress theme! Until then, I want to tell you about how cool it is and why you should consider using it for your WordPress blog.

The Thesis theme is a WordPress framework that embraces all the things you want and need for your website or blog.

Thesis Features:

• Complete SEO integration for both the search engines and your readers!
• It’s easy to navigate and use for your readers, which will keep your readers coming back!
• Super easy interface for you to update the look of your site without ever diving into code!

It takes care of the mundane coding and design work for you so you can concentrate on the most important thing, your content!

I am super excited to purchase the Developer’s Option so I can use it across all my domains, with free upgrades for life. This also gets you unlimited access to the Thesis Forums where all the smart users hang out and are willing to always help the newbies. You can count on a Thesis followup post from me once I’ve used it. Until then, if you purchase Thesis before me, make sure to let me know what you think!

Okay before it gets way too hot here in Las Vegas, we need to get this Snuggie Pub Crawl excursion underway sometime in March. I had several suggestions for locations, but it seems like the best place to do this would be on Fremont Street. They tend to not stare at freaks that much down there, plus the drinks are cheaper.

So let this post serve as a gathering point for now, and to see how many people we have interested in doing this. Please leave me a comment below if you are interested in attending the Las Vegas Snuggie Pub Crawl, and what weekend this month would be the best for you.

If you don’t have a Snuggie yet, use my affiliate link to purchase one. Yes, I make a little money off your purchases, but I will put this money back into the event to use as a “drink fund.” How’s that?
