Steph’s Weblog

<b>Site:</b>All content has been moved over to the domain! Plus I added a new page Will and Grace quotes <a href=”http://www.blissful-vengeance.org/you/w&gquotes.html” target=”_blank”>here</a>, and added a picture of me to the sidebar. Also am working on installing wordpress.      
<p>
<b>Personal:</b>I want to thank everyone for the great comments about the new domain! I have finally moved all content over from the old site, and figured out how to use FTP. Ya’ll were right, it’s not hard. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/woohoo.gif“> I promise, promise, promise, I will get to returning all comments! Sorry for the slacking off! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/yes.gif“>
<p>
So, did everyone have a good Easter? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/easteregg.gif“> I did. Saturday we had our Easter dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Grabner’s. There were 20 people there I believe, if I counted correctly. What the heck, I’ll just list them. Me, mom, Phil, Chad, Chantel, Milena, Tearra, Colton, Melroy, Patty, Julie, Mark, Matt, Jamie, Brad, Sandy, Jim, Aunt Mary Ellen, Grandma and Grandpa. Yup, that be 20 people! I got some pictures of some. My cousin Julie and her boyfriend Brad <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/family/IM000601.jpg” alt=”Julie and Brad”></lj-cut> My youngest cousin Jamie <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/family/IM000609.jpg” alt=”Youngest cousin Jamie”> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/family/IM000608.jpg” alt=”Youngest cousin Jamie”></lj-cut><br>
My brother Chad’s girlfriend Chantel’s kids Colton, Milena, and Tearra (in that order), <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/family/IM000604.jpg” alt=”Colton”> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/family/IM000603.jpg” alt=”Milena”> and <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/family/IM000602.jpg” alt=”Tearra”></lj-cut> And my Uncle Mike <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/family/IM000612.jpg” alt=”Uncle Mike”></lj-cut> (Yes I’m aware that my Uncle Mike looks like a killer in that picture. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/whoa.gif“>)
<p>
I got some good stuff for Easter. I got mostly low-fat and low calorie foods, but I also got this cute stuffed frog <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000618.jpg” alt=”Stuffed froggie”></lj-cut> this cute Winnie the Pooh pen <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000622.jpg” alt=”Winnie the Pooh pen”></lj-cut> this bag of candy <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000630.jpg” alt=”Bag of candy”></lj-cut> this skirt and Nike top <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000635.jpg” alt=”Blue jean skirt and Nike top”></lj-cut> and these two necklaces <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000626.jpg” alt=”Flamingo necklace”>and <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000627.jpg” alt=”Shell necklace”></lj-cut> If you can’t tell, the first one is a Flamingo, and the second one is a shell. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/smile.gif“> Oh, and I forgot these toe rings <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000629.jpg” alt=”Toe rings”></lj-cut> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/love.gif“>     
<p>
My brother’s birthday is coming up on the 29th, and I have no idea what to get him. He’s going to be 31. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/shocked.gif“> Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! My Grandma Rockey’s birthday is on the 30th, but I already have a present for her. I just have no idea what to get my brother. They gave me money for my birthday, but I don’t have a whole lot of money, so I probably won’t end up just giving him money. What to buy, what to buy? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/thinking.gif“>
<p>
Well, I’ll leave this for now. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/bye.gif“>

<b>Site:</b>Domain and new layout finally up! Working on moving all content over to the domain.      
<p>
<b>Personal:</b>Blissful-Vengeance.org is finally up! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/woohoo.gif“> Well, the index page at least. I’m still trying to figure out how to add subpages like me/you/www. It was so easy with envy.nu. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/frustrated.gif“>
<br>
Content is still working though thanks to envy.nu. I have some plans with this domain. One is to get a blogging tool. I think I might go with either Movable Type, or b2. Not quite sure. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/thinking.gif“> I have a question for those of you with a domain or those of you hosted. What do you use to upload your pages and stuff? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/confused.gif“> Right now I’m using Cpanel, and using the file manager part of it. I tried using a FTP thing, but couldn’t figure out how to upload stuff. I was using one where you type it into the browser like ftp.blissful-vengeance.org. I need to figure out how to add subdomains so I can have at least one hostee. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/smile.gif“> Anyone wanna help?
<p>
I joined myspace. If you have an account there, add me if you want, and I’ll add you back. I already have Brandy from <a href=”http://electriclady.org” target=”_blank”>Electriclady.org</a> as a friend there, plus two other people from Fort Wayne I still have to add. So again, if you have an account at myspace, add me if you want, and I’ll add you back. Here’s my link: <a href=”http://profiles.myspace.com/users/23279493” target=”_blank”>Myspace link</a>.   
<p>
We’ve had 3 cats hanging around our house the past few weeks. I saw them laying on our deck out back, and they kept on coming back, so I decided to buy them some catfood. I’ve been feeding them everyday. We think they are a family of cats. There’s a black one, a grey striped one, and a little young grey one. I think they might be mom, dad, and baby. They’re so cute! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/biggrin.gif“>
<br>
Everyday since I started feeding them, the next day the food is gone and the water I set out is so dirty. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/gross.gif“> Either they are really dirty, or something else is happening to the water. Yesterday when I went to change the food and water, in the food bowl was a raccoon pawprint. I think they’re drinking some of the water and eating some of the food. If I can I’ll try to get some pictures of the cats. They run away when I open the door, so maybe I’ll try to sneak around the back and get a picture. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/biggrin.gif“>
<p>
What is everyone doing for Easter? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/easteregg.gif“> I’m going to my Grandma and Grandpa’s house, like we do every year. There’s going to be over 20 people there! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/whoa.gif“> It’ll be nice to see family again. Haven’t seen most of them since Christmas Eve. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/smile.gif“>
<p>
I’m sorry I haven’t been writing in here very much, but I’ve been writing in my journal alot. It’s actually nice to write in there. I just started writing in there again. The last time I wrote in there was 2001. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/shocked.gif“>
<p>
Well, I’ll leave this for now, and go back to trying to figure out all the domain stuff. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/bye.gif“>

<b>Site:</b>Added more pictures to my <a href=”http://www.shattered-rage.envy.nu/me/roomtour.html” target=”_blank”>room tour</a>. The last 4 pictures. Also added a <a href=”http://www.shattered-rage.envy.nu/me/memories.html” target=”_blank”>memories</a> page, and a <a href=”http://www.shattered-rage.envy.nu/me/dreams.html” target=”_blank”>dreams</a> page. Will be adding more things mometarily.     
<p>
<b>Personal:</b> I know I edited my last blog saying I wasn’t going to blog for the next 3 days because I had to work, but I only had to work Wednesday. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/smile.gif“> I was supposed to work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. at <a href=”http://www.aaronsorientalruggallery.com” target=”_blank”>Aaron’s Oriental Rug Gallery</a>, but they were so slow I was able to leave an hour early, plus I don’t have to go Thursday or Friday. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/cool.gif“> Good thing though, because that job was so <b>BORING</b>! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/ugh.gif“>
<br>
Incase you’re wondering, I still haven’t heard about that job at <a href=”http://www.classicproducts.com” target=”_blank”>Classic Products</a>. Last I heard they were interviewing more people, even though they told me they couldn’t decide between me and another person. Guess they found something they didn’t like about either of us? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/hmph.gif“>
<p>
My domain should be ready soon, soon, soon! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/grin.gif“> I just can’t wait to get it up and running. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/bounce.gif“>  
<p>
I went shopping again this weekend. Yes, yes, I know. <b>Again</b>! Didn’t really buy anything, but went to Target and finally got my Full House DVD. I’ve been meaning to get it. Also went to Sear’s and bought a pair of shoes for the job I mentioned above. I had to buy shoes that I could stand 8 hours in, and the only ones I had, had heels. And I couldn’t wear gymshoes. The shoes I bought were Sketcher’s. Was a nice pair, I can wear them pretty much anywhere.
<p>
I don’t really have anything else to talk about, but I wanted to show two pictures. I took these of myself, to show how naturally curly my hair is. The pictures I usually show of myself are with my hair straightened, and I was bored early one morning at about 3 in the morning. Just incase you want to see the difference there’s also a pic of it straight. Pics all at end of blog. 
<p>
By the way, I have a question, I made a video type avatar the other day, but I’m not sure what to save it as so I can show it on a webpage. I don’t even remember what I saved it as. I do know I made it in Animation Shop, though. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/confused.gif“>
<p>
Well, I guess I’ll go. I’ll comment back soon, promise! By the way, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/bye.gif“> Pictures now. <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000261.jpg” alt=”Full House DVD”> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/me/IM000293.jpg” alt=”Curly hair one from the side”> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/me/IM000265.jpg” alt=”Curly hair two from the back”> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/me/IM000129.jpg” alt=”Straight so you can see the difference.”></lj-cut>.

<b>Site:</b> Still working on coding the layout. Going slowly, because I want it to be the first layout for my domain. So you get to look at my lovely face a little bit longer!    
<p>
<b>Personal:</b> Well, as I said in my last blog, I got asked to come in for a second interview at <a href=”http://www.classicproducts.com” target=”_blank”>Classic Products</a>. I think it went pretty well <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/thinking.gif“>. I interviewed with another lady, and an older guy who just happened to be the <b>Vice-President</b> of the company.
<br>
I kindof got intimidated by him. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/sweatdrop2.gif“> I hate how in interviews people ask what former bosses would think one bad thing and one good thing is about you. I have such a hard time talking myself up. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/blush.gif“> They said they need someone right away. I haven’t heard anything yet. I would think they would let me know either way. What do you think? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/question.gif“>  
<p>
I got an email from my host letting me know that she received the money. And she confirmed the name, so it shouldn’t be long til it’s all set up. She’s just putting stuff on a faster server or something like that. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/confused.gif“>   
<p>
I mentioned that I went shopping last weekend and that I bought two pairs of shoes. One pair was for exercising, the other pair just for wearing. Well, I ended up having to take the ones for exercising back because one was an 8 and a half, and the other was a 9. Something that had something to do with when it was made in the factory. So, after my interview I took the pair back to exchange them, but they didn’t have anymore of those kind because people from Hooter’s and Applebee’s came in and bought the rest for their waitresses.
<br>
So, I had to end up getting a new different pair, which I ended up taking <i>those</i> back because they hurt my feet (They were the right size, but they just hurt). <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/ouch.gif“> I ended up getting my money back for those. I also ended up buying the brown and pink Airwalks I wanted. You can see pictures at the end of the blog. I really like them. Now, I just have to get a good pair of exercise shoes. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/huh.gif“>   
<p>
By the way, the new layout will be up when I’m done coding it, incase you didn’t read the site updates. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/yay.gif“> I think I might wait until my domain is ready and have that be the first layout of my domain. You don’t mind looking at me for a little bit longer, do ya? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/cute.gif“>
<p>
Well, I guess I’ll go. I’ll comment back to ya’ll soon! Thanks for the good luck comments on the second interview, also! Pictures now. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/bye.gif“> <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000211.jpg” alt=”My brown and pink Airwalks”> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000231.jpg” alt=”My duckie pen”></lj-cut>

<b>Site:</b> Working on adding more pictures to the site, plus other things. Also, working on coding the new layout.    
<p>
<b>Personal:</b> Holy crapola! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/whoa.gif“> I just got some pretty good news yesterday after my interview at <a href=”http://classicproducts.com” target=”_blank”>Classic Products</a>. One of the ladies at <a href=”http://www.swansonstaffing.com” target=”_blank”>Swanson Staffing</a> called me not that long after I got home and wanted me to set up another interview with <a href=”http://classicproducts.com” target=”_blank”>Classic Products</a>, because they couldn’t make up their minds between me and another person that interviewed with them. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/woohoo.gif“> So on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. I have another interview set up. I really hope I get the job. The hours are 10:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. and I’ll be answering phones and taking orders.
<br>
Supposedly, Classic Products is <i>the</i> biggest Bowling Distributor in the U.S. and they make trophies, and all different kinds of stuff. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/grin.gif“>   
<p>
I haven’t gotten an email back yet from the host of my domain, but I think that’s because she’s moving everything to a faster server or something. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/confused.gif“> I think I’m going to email her just to see if she got the money order I sent yet. i hope no one stole it. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/annoyed.gif“>   
<p>
I went shopping Saturday afternoon to the mall. Wanted to spend some of my birthday <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/dollarsign.gif“>. Was going to buy some clothes that I could wear in an office setting, but I think I’ll wait to see if I got the job or not. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/cute.gif“> Went to <a href=”http://payless.com” target=”_blank”>Payless</a>, and bought a pair of new gym shoes that I can wear while exercising. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/bounce.gif“> The pair I use now makes me feel like I’m exercising on the edges of my feet. Really makes my feet hurt after awhile. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/ouch.gif“> Also saw a pair of brown and pink <b>Airwalks</b> that I think I’m going to go back for. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/thinking.gif“>    
<p>
By the way, the new layout will be up when I’m done coding it, incase you didn’t read the site updates. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/yay.gif“>
<p>
Well, I guess I’ll go. Just wanted to blog real quick. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/bye.gif“>

<b>Site:</b> Working on adding more pictures to the site, plus other things.    
<p>
<b>Personal:</b> Boy, I’m blogging again? And so soon after my last blog? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/whoa.gif“> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/wow.gif“> I usually wait like 5 days between each blog, but I actually have stuff to talk about. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/woohoo.gif“>  
<p>
First of all, I want to thank everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday, and an extra special thanks to <a href=”http://pink-flamingo.org” target=”_blank”>Meredith</a>, and <a href=”http://el.pink-misfit.net” target=”_blank”>Kristin</a> for the birthday graphics they sent me. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/heart.gif“> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/thanks.gif“> I had such a great birthday. I got more than I deserved, and I took pictures of everything.  
<br>
From my mom and step-dad, I got a <b>Samsung</b> DVD/VCR combo, a stuffed frog, a yahtzee electronic game, rechargeable battery thing, plus batteries, and  <u>13 Going on 30</u> DVD. I also got some clothes, a pretty photo album, plus some money. Pictures at the end of this entry.  <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/grin.gif“> And my dad and step-mom took me out for lunch. We went to a Chinese place, and boy was it yummy! There was one thing that I didn’t like, and that was the sushi. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/gross.gif“> It was my first time trying sushi, and I can say that I will most likely never try it again. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/no.gif“>     
<p>
I’ve got some good news, and some bad news. The bad news is that I think shattered-rage (my site) will be no more. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/cry.gif“> But, I have really good news. I’m getting a domain! <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/spin.gif“> I sent the money order through the mail last night. So it shouldn’t be long that it will be ready. It’s going to be the same as this site, just a different name. Now I can use one of those blogging systems like greymatter or something. I’m not sure which one to use though. Those of you who have a domain, or are hosted which blogging system do you use? <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/question.gif“>
<p>
I got some more good news, also. I just got a call from <a href=”http://www.swansonstaffing.com” target=”_blank”>Swanson Staffing</a> (the temp service I’m going through), and I have an interview set up Friday morning at <a href=”http://classicproducts.com” target=”_blank”>Classic Products</a>. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/woohoo.gif“> I’m not exactly sure what it is, but I know it has to do with bowling. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/huh.gif“> It starts at $9.00 and hour and is temp to hire which means it could be permanent. <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/smilies/cool.gif“> 
<p>
New layout to come soon. I have it made, I just have to finish coding it, and I might wait until the domain opens. Not sure yet.
Well, I guess I’ll go. Pictures now! <lj-cut><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000141.jpg“> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000140.jpg“> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000136.jpg“> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000135.jpg“> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000134.jpg”><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000133.jpg“> <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000132.jpg“>  <img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v198/roxygurl228/shopping/IM000131.jpg“>
