2009-08-08T10:45:00.000-07:00

I decided to try the changing colors again, so things are looking a bit wonky.

Today many textbooks have companion websites that have study guides, tests/quizzes, tools, and sometimes an electronic version of the textbook.

I'm taking a religion class and although the textbook didn't exactly have a companion website, they do allow you to put it on your website/blog.

No Changing Color

2009-02-10T13:03:00.000-08:00

The colors won't be changing until I can get the font styles to go the way I want them.

Grrr

2009-02-07T17:30:00.000-08:00

Don't ya just hate it when what you're trying to do won't go the way you want it to?

Some of the text sizes on my blog are larger than I'd like them to be and I don't think it looks as pretty. I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to get them to the right size.

Ta Da!

2009-01-25T15:27:00.000-08:00

I fixed it by tagging on this frou-frou text changing thing.

Needle in a haystack

2009-01-24T20:59:00.000-08:00

That's what this is now. There must be something in the coding somewhere that I missed or added and for that reason, the colors won't rotate.

Hmmm

2009-01-19T18:01:00.000-08:00

Now it's a lot more different.

I don't know if I like it or not. And it's still not quite working.

What Poetry Form Are You?

2008-11-11T17:22:00.000-08:00

I am, of course, none other than blank verse.
I don't know where I'm going, yes, quite right;
And when I get there (if I ever do)
I might not recognise it. So? Your point?
Why should I have a destination set?
I'm relatively happy as I am,
And wouldn't want to be forever aimed
Towards some future path or special goal.
It's not to do with laziness, as such.
It's just that one the whole I'd rather not
Be bothered - so I drift contentedly;
An underrated way of life, I find.

Back to Work

2007-10-29T08:02:00.000-07:00

Today is the first day back to work after the wild fires.

San Diego Fire 2007

2007-10-24T22:33:00.000-07:00

On Monday, Oct. 22, I got together everything I would want and need to take, if I had to evacuate.

Fortunately, the fire is not in my area of San Diego. I live close by the Qualcomm stadium.

All San Diego Unified schools have been closed for this week. And really I think all schools, colleges, and universities have become closed for this week. This is due to at least two things:
*staff and/or students who have had to evacuate their homes
*because of the above, some schools became understaffed, and although some schools may not be in any danger of the fire, the air quality is poor.

Goodbye Curious

2007-10-24T22:24:00.000-07:00

I've been so busy recently with new classes and a classified position at Taft, instead of being just a "floater sub", I haven't been blogging much.

It's been about three weeks now, I think, since my mom and I had to take Curious to be put down.

And still it's hard for me. No one else is closer to me, than my sister, parents, and Frisky. Although I have relatives, they live on the East Coast, and I'm just not emotionally attached to them.

About three months ago I found a dimple in my right breast. After several ultrasounds a mammogram and a breast MRI, fast forward to Tuesday. I had another ultrasound and then the UCSD radiologist came in and said that the MRI showed two bright spots behind both of my breasts (anything bright is not supposed to be there). So, he took some biopsies from both breasts. Fast forward to last night, I got a call at 9:30, he said that whatever I had was benign. So that is pretty good!

What'd ya get for Christmas?

2006-12-27T15:16:00.000-08:00

Well, I didn't get a lot.

But that's more because I've been doing some window shopping and looking at reviews of PDAs or PocketPCs with GPS capabilities or GPS systems with PDA/PocketPC capabilities.

From the product reviews I found online and what was available here, in San Diego, I opted to buy the Pharos GPS 525.

It's one of the smallest GPS systems out there.

My other presents were a silver kitty ring holder and an assortment of different flavored hot chocolate mixes. And a Dove Christmas tree ornament.

The Diet

2006-07-21T22:13:00.000-07:00

I really just need to eat healthfully.

This past week I haven't been following my special diet.

It's almost just right

It should look like this.

New Diet

2006-06-30T20:29:00.000-07:00

I'm going to start a new diet this week.

It's geared towards people who have AD/HD. Although it doesn't really have a name.

Basically, for the first 30 days eliminate milk, eggs, wheat, corn, chocolate, oranges, sugar(including artificial sweeteners).

All vegetables and fruit(excluding oranges) are allowed.

I'm still reading the book, so I don't have all the details yet.

Summer School?

I'm really not sure what to take because I don't do well in the abbreviated version of some courses.

I may take History 100. That's Ancient History or something like that.

I've got a list of courses that I can take at my college that will transfer to SDSU. The courses that I have left to take are ones like psychologry, chemistry, biology, geology, etc.

Lost key.....Found key

2006-05-10T19:24:00.000-07:00

This is my second week working at TierraSanta Elementary school.

But somehow, a little before recess, I noticed that the security key to my Miata was missing. After school was out for the day, I pushed the seats forward and pushed them back, looking in front and bed hind and finally under the seats. But I couldn't find the key. I looked under the car. I dumped out my purse, and then went back to the classroom I'm helping out in. I still couldn't find it.

The teacher of the 3rd grade class I'm helping out in was still there and she was able to drive me home, just a few blocks away.

Just a few minutes ago I did a total car search...except for the trunk and glove box. I found two quarters and a bead I had just lost from a belt. And I found my key wedged on the inside of the seat tracks, I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't have happened to have a flashlight with me and on.

Keep Track of Everything

2006-04-20T18:10:00.000-07:00

How do you do it?

I have a little two year - monthly/weekly calendar planner thing I keep in my purse. But somehow I have little things get-togethers that I can't seem to remember.

Everybody has a story

2006-04-17T18:26:00.000-07:00

Six months to a year ago or so, there was a guy on the CBS evening news program who was sharing peoples stories. He would simply find a place on the map and getting out the area's phone book, he would close his eyes and with a whirl of his hand he would randomly select a person. A person whose story he would root out and tell.

Many people want to appear modest: I'm just a lowly homemaker, student, or hardworking dad.

...to be continued later.

Write your own formula

2006-04-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

Well, that's what the prompt said. But what they meant is to come up with like a blog schedule. Or how much or how often do you forsee yourself blogging.

So, I need to come up with a number of words or sentences maybe. Or maybe what I really need is to figure out what I should write.

Would it be too wierd for others if I wrote like "morning pages" here. That's writing just simply writing. Don't bother about punctuation or grammar or that anything makes sense. Just write to get something down on the page.

I do that best on the computer if I change the font to white, so I can't even see what I'm writing. Then later, I go back and change the font color back to black.

Singing Inside My Head

2006-04-11T15:26:00.000-07:00

Sometimes when I go about my day doing things, chores, and going places (unless I'm at home by myself) I sing to myself, in my head.

Many times I make up a little tune, not randomly, but sort of out of nowhere. Sometimes I come up with little lyrics that go with my mini-tune.

Last week I was singing:

I like to hide inside myself
where no one else can see
it's very comforting

I don't think I was sad or depressed, that's just what I got.

2006-04-06T13:42:00.000-07:00

News anchors - can they be "cleaned up"?

2006-03-14T09:27:00.000-08:00

I've been pushing this idea around in my mind for a while.

My thinking is when a person takes a college course and a paper is to be written, it is expected that all grammar should be correct and will not include any slang or clichés.

Before anyone becomes a news anchor that person goes through school. It's probably the same process for people going into the media as in any other area, being that they get a degree. Anyway, since I don't know, my guess is that college is where people learn to talk like an anchor. People don't talk that way normally.

And so, back to my querry, "Can news anchors be 'cleaned up'?"

My answer is: why not?

I have created my hair for my collage.

This morning I finished making a template for my shoulders and eventually I'll make a shirt with a white PeterPan collar. I went to Wall-Mart later this morning because I wasn't satisfied with using any of the fabrics we already have(my mom and I like to quilt and have a modest stash of fabrics) ....for the background of my collage or for my shirt.

My Art Appreciation class is at 3:30 and when I get home at 5:00 or so I plan to cut out the fabrics for my shirt and collar. Then I will bind the edges of each piece. Once I've done that, I may be ready to either lay down my background or create the skin of my face.

If I work enough today, I may be able to finish my collage tomorrow. It's due Tuesday.

Where I've been

2006-03-01T15:19:00.000-08:00

I've been with blogger for a very long time.

Most recently I was posting at lilmar.blogspot.com (I have some pictures of Frisky and Curious in my archives at September '04 and July '05) and before that I was at littlemo0n.blogspot.com. Although I began hosting littlemo0n at my angelfire website. Later, I decided to have blogspot host it, but was unable to make the connection work...and in that process I fumbled up some programming or communication somewhere and was unable to post anymore. That's when I created lilmar.blogspot.

I continued to fidgit with littlemo0n.blogspot.com and eventually got it to work.
