For the past year I've had my own domain at nancyslife.com. That's were this blog has been pointing too for the past year. Now I've made the move to WordPress. You can still see me through nancyslife.com, but if you've been getting here through my blogspot address, I'll no longer be updating here. So, come on over to nancyslife.com and say Hi and if you are linking to me with my old address still

Okay, so I decided that I wasn't going to go through the hassle with the web host I was trying to get set up at. After that email I posted below, they called me at a completely different number while I was at work. Then they sent an email today saying that my order was flagged for fraud and that they couldn't verify me and to please try again. Whatever. And this was supposed to be one of the

I finally got an email from the sales department of the host I signed up with asking me to verify my order. The email stated that I could verify through live chat, so I tried that. The live chat agent directed me to a phone number; gee thanks for your help. Below is my response to the sales email (my phone number removed of course):I can be reached at (phone number removed).I have to say I am not

I signed up with a web host on Sunday, as I said I would. I haven't heard anything yet. I don't think a web host has ever taken this long to get back to me when I've signed up before, ugh. Not looking good guys. Well, once everything is up then I will be downloading WordPress and getting to work. I'm excited and want to get started already. I'm tired of looking at this mess here.

Possibilities. I'm looking at that word, and it seems like a complicated word. You know how when you look at a word too often it starts to look like it can't be spelled right? Up until a couple of days ago that word just didn't seem right to me. On Friday I received my tax return, and when I received it I felt such a flood of relief. I paid off both of my credit cards right then, and right then

After being away from the computer all day and then just now looking at my blog...ugh. I hate it. I'll have to try something else.[Update] Having even worse luck now...I've completely wiped out my widgets. Welcome to my mess. I think the best Ill be able to accomplish at this point is getting a basic template up and reworking the whole thing. Maybe I'll just have to move to WordPress after all. I

I can not figure out a color scheme! I have always been great with colors; it's one of those things I have always been proud of, but lately my color sense just sucks. It's way too late, and I've been at this for hours...gotta get some sleep at some point. It's another long weekend of work and school.

This week, and the past weekend, has been nuts. On Friday I came down with a bad case of bronchitis. I had to call in sick on Saturday which made my boss have to work an entire day; from open to close. I felt horrible. On Saturday night we noticed a red bump on Baby G's leg in the same spot where he had had his most recent vaccination just the week before. It looked like a bug bite, but we didn't

A long time ago I removed the blog roll I had in my side bar and replaced it with my Google Reader widget which right now you can see over on the right side of the page (it's called Favorite Reads). Over there I can share my favorite posts from my Google Reader.

Over the past couple of days Baby G has been practicing new sounds. Right now they sound like yodeling to me. Tonight it sounded very familiar and then I remembered where I'd heard it before. From his favorite movie:

The story of how Aaron and I met is actually quite simple, though also somewhat complicated. Back in 1999 I moved with my then husband out of San Francisco to a new place in the East Bay Area. San Francisco had become way too expensive and I needed some new surroundings. When we moved I left my job and stayed home for a few months. This was a great time for me to reevaluate my life and what I

How did that happen? I still have things I want to finish before January is over. Not fair! I just put Baby G down for a nap and sat down to get some things accomplished and realized that it is already February. I never got Baby G's 13 month update done, and after going through the last month of blog posts I realized that I also never posted anything about his One Year birthday party. So,

A couple of days ago at work I picked up a book to put it away and stopped to look at the title. The book was A Complaint Free World by Will Bowen. I quickly skimmed through the book and thought about the subject. I know that I complain, a lot. I sometimes try to justify it by telling myself that I am just stating a fact; whatever that "fact" is, it's almost always negative. Why do I never state

Part 2 of Mondo Beyondo has been a little difficult for me. I'm doing it way late, and I think part of that is because I'm a little scared to really ask for what I want. The other part is that I've really been focused on my school work whenever I have some free time, but there has been some time when I could have done this. So, I want to get it out there before January ends and here it is, my

Has it really been two weeks since I posted?! I swear it seems like it's only been two days. I started back to school on the 8th and have been absorbed in Biology since then.

2007 flew past me. It seems like 2006 was just yesterday and here it is the end of 2007. I started out the year on maternity leave with my new baby son. It was a happy time, but also a very stressful time. I had many goals for the year. Because I spent the first few months of the year on leave, I got comfortable with the free time I had and didn't really think about how I was going back to school

I finally have a day off; no work, no school. I get to spend it trying not to move as much as possible with a one year old (Thank you Seaseme Street). I am sick. It started with a sore throat on Christmas Eve and then went into full head cold. Wednesday morning I woke up in a pool of snot with snot still running from my nose like water.

So last night I went to Amazon knowing exactly what I was going to get, and I got it.

Last year, in the wee hours of the morning on December 17, 2006 I went into labor. It was the day after my birthday. I knew that he would be coming soon and I thought I had worked out with him to wait until at least the 18th so that his big sister could be there when he was born. But he had other plans. The night of my birthday the nesting instinct hit hard and I had to have the apartment

So my babysitter called this morning to say she was sick. I've got no other babysitting options so I had to call my boss. I seem to be on my boss's bad side lately so I was dreading this call. I told her what was going on and asked if I could come into work late. She said "okay" in that voice that just oozes irritation and hung up a little too fast. So, I'm home from work until Aaron gets home

Trying to get 3 posts in one here. I'm late, yet again, getting Baby G's monthly post up. He's a little over 11 months now. In just about 3 weeks and he'll be a whole year old. We've been really bad lately with getting pictures of him. I'm enjoying my time with him so much I just don't even think about grabbing the camera. He's developing into such a happy, sweet little boy. He's been walking for

Things that are irritating me right now:1. The headers for my blogs won't stay up. I have to keep going into my layout and resaving them to get them to show up. I do not have time to do this every day Blogger people!..how can I get my headers to show up and stay up?!2. I took a day off of work yesterday specifically because Baby G would be at the babysitters; so I could get some things done, like

Okay, its the middle of the night, I'm exhausted beyond words, and I really want to sleep, but I can't; I have a short story to finish writing (so why am I posting on my blog? I don't have an answer for that). Because I am so tired, and because in the middle of the night I like to be spontaneous and crazy, I figured I'd go ahead and share one of the poems I wrote for class. It's a sonnet. Don't

I've got this template until I can fix this and get my old blog back...ugh.Update 8:33am: Found the old template. Now I just have to put everything back the way it was.

Another meme. Love the memes, and this is another I found at Zoot's. She picked it up from Hollow Squirrel. This one follows the same guidelines as the book meme.Bold those you’ve seen.Italicize movies you have started but couldn’t finish.Add an asterisk* to those you have watched more than once.Underline those on your To Watch list. * The Shining - Saw this years ago, scared me to death,

This is about two weeks late, but wanted to get it up before the end of this month. Baby G has grown extraordinarily over the past month in every way. He's gained another pound and a another inch or two in height. He's learned to imitate and can clap and hold conversations. He still loves his time at the park, what baby wouldn't. The swing is his favorite.The big thing this past month is his new

Baby G decided to start walking on his own today. I don't have the video uploaded yet, but as soon as I do, you can bet I'll be posting it. I'm so happy, and excited, and a little sorry to see the "baby" start to go away.

So, what do you think? I wanted something a little less "colorful" without getting rid of the color; does that make sense? I wanted a little bit of a cleaner look, and didn't have a lot of time to create the graphics of my dreams. I think I like this though and will maybe stick with it awhile. Less work for me and I don't have to freak out at the end of the month because I don't have a new header

Lots going on now. Tuesday my new class started; Creative Writing. I've always wanted to take a creative writing class, I could sure use the help in learning to write better, and I needed to take some electives to finish up my degree, so I decided to finally take the plunge. It should be interesting and I hope that I will be able to share some writing here. I joined a book club. JennyH., Princess

I was over at Miss Zoot's this morning and saw this book meme. She had gotten it from Average Jane. I just had to do this too. I'm a bookseller (for almost 9 years now!) and have a great love of books and reading them. I have spent the majority of my life reading. I spent most of my childhood locked in my room reading. I'm interested to see how I stack up here. Bold those you’ve read.

A few days ago Baby G started really using his sounds; Ma, ba, ra, and combinations of the three. A couple days ago I picked up a couple more books for him. One of them is Sandra Boynton's Moo, Baa, La La La. He liked the book immediately. Last night before bed I picked it up to read to him. I showed him the cover and read the title to him "Moo, Baa, La La La!" He giggled, so I did it again and

For the past two days I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. We got a notice on Sunday that our apartment managers and maintenance would be doing walk-throughs this week. We are slated for today. Considering the state of mess that my apartment is in, I about had a heart attack. After work for the past two days I've just been cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.

Another month has almost passed since I last posted. Baby G turned 9 months last week.He's been growing so fast. He's 24lbs. and 29 and 1/2 inches tall; in the 90th percentile. He has two teeth now and is starting to take baby steps. He's gotten pretty good at standing up on his own. Now that he's a little older he's enjoying time at the park. He loves the swing.Yesterday, Aaron wanted to take

There are some series of books that I have been reading over the past few years; The Harry Potter series, Terry Brooks' Shannara series (of which I have only read the first book and a new book in the series), Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series (I can not recommend this series enough), and the Looking Glass Wars series by Frank

I'm a few days late with this post. I guess that's better than last month where I missed almost the whole month. I've been feeling really overwhelmed - I just can't seem to get it together. I keep trying out different ways of organizing my time, and nothing seems to be working. Aaron and I get absolutely no time together unless I skip homework, which hasn't been good for my grades.

How can I, as a bookseller, go without at least one post about Harry Potter this week. I am a Harry Potter fan, I've read all the books, seen all the movies, and am excited about the release of the last book. We are gearing up at work for the big release at midnight Friday night/ Saturday morning. I'm kinda bummed that I don't even get to be at the party that night. I'm only working until 8pm and

I just realized it's been almost a month since I last posted. Life has just kept me super busy and I haven't really felt like doing anything other than sleeping with my limited free time. I'm on an upswing again and hope to get in here more often. I may just have to schedule in blog time - like I do with my homework. We got back from Seattle this week and Baby G will be 7 months old next week; so

Baby G is 6 months old today. He's growing so quickly! This past couple of weeks he has been practicing his crawling, and he's getting better at it, but still not quite there. He's got his leg movements down, but still hasn't figured out how to move his arms forward yet. The rolling over is now not a problem for him; we wondered if he would ever roll over, now he won't stop. He's gotten really

Yes, I'm still alive - just barely. Things are still hectic and crazy and life is "full" (a positive spin). My daughter has finally taken our advice and decided to move here. Yippie! So we are trying to figure out the logistics of that to make it work out for everyone. We can't move in to a two bedroom apartment just yet, so three adults and a baby in a one bedroom is going to be quite fun, ha.

I'm still struggling through work/school/life; trying to juggle it all. My daughter should be here tomorrow (yay!) and Baby G is developing so quickly.

I'm just home from work, Baby G is at Grandma's, Aaron is at work. I'm at my laptop doing homework (technically I'm posting here and not doing homework, but Word is open and I have an outline for my paper written), the apartment is wonderfully quiet! Ahhhhhh! That was a happy sigh. I have been so stressed out trying to juggle everything. 40 hours a week at work that are all over the place - 7 to

So, last Saturday, the 5th, Aaron and I both had the time off to visit my sister. She only lives about an hour and a half away, but we usually have to time visits for when Aaron and I are both off of work because I don't drive.

Just visiting my blog here to see who has stopped by and noticed that my header still says April 2007! Today is May 10th! Guess I better get busy. I have to be at work at 11am and I have homework due today that I haven't finished. I have like 2 or 3 posts that I have been wanting to get up as well. At least I got some sleep last night. As soon as Baby G's eyes closed, I went to sleep myself and

We are still battling through the Tummy Time Blues. This is one very happy baby I have, but tummy time brings out the raging, fussy beast. I can't really blame him though, I hate being on my tummy too.That toy is one of his favorites. I call it Mr. Flashy. It looks like a Zebra that dropped a little too much acid back in the day. But, Baby G loves it. Yesterday, before I took the above pictures,

On April 22nd, Aaron and I celebrated seven years together. For our anniversary date we got a sitter and went out to dinner. It was a very short dinner because Baby G was having a really bad time due to having tried oatmeal that day and it wasn't agreeing with his system. So we came home a little early. But I got to have a strawberry margarita after not having had any alcohol for a whole year!

Ya, I've been super busy. This week I've been working odd shifts and I'm supposed to be writing a strategic analysis for class. For my team project due next week, I have to do a SWOTt. Baby G is making huge leaps in his development. He is now sitting up on his own, and can look around at his environment while keeping his balance. He's also eating solid food now. So far just the rice cereal. He

Baby G is 4 months old today. He's been working hard this past month. He's trying to pick up everything he sees.He loves standing up and walking around the apartment with us. He goes out a lot. He loves going on car trips.Mostly he goes to the store or Post Office with Dad, or visits Mom in the Bookstore, but he's also been to Japan Town in San Francisco and he's been to the park.He's been

I guess since my next post (Baby G's 4 month update which I hope to have up tomorrow) is going to be so long, that I should make this a short post. So, here are some bullet points to highlight my crappy weekend from hell.*One crazy customer after another at work. Did someone let the crazies out of the bin this weekend? One guy (who had to be drunk) was trying to buy guns from us; a bookstore. He

I was cleaning out my laptop so that I can reformat it later and ran across some quizzes and buttons that I never posted anywhere so I thought I'd post them here quickly just for fun. (I'm having a crappy day so far and I'd like to strangle some people right now.)Jolly good, wot! Anyone for tennis? That'll be ten ponies, guv. You're the epitome of everything that is english.

Last night I had this for dinner:That sauce on the chicken he made himself. It was DELICIOUS. That dinner was made even better by Baby G whom I had to hold while eating. He managed to do this:I did get to eat the majority of that delicious food though.Then this morning, I got this for breakfast:Yeah, I think I'd like him to stay home a little while longer.

No Friday Project this week. I haven't had a day off since Sunday, and don't have another day off until tomorrow, and then my sister is coming down to spend the day with us. I have some new pictures to post, and if I can get them onto the computer this morning I'll have at least one nice post for the week. I have to start getting ready for work in about two hours. Ugh.

One month ago I was supposed to start back to school. I tried getting a hold of my academic counselor a few times, but never heard back. I gave up and decided to just enjoy what little free time I had. Well, I finally talked to her yesterday. Starting next Tuesday, I will be back in school. How I'll find the time to get in here I don't yet know. I may have to give up on my Friday Project, or just

Again, I am very sorry I'm so late with this. It's been a hellish week, I had no sleep and that pesky family time kept getting in the way (jk). Anyway, it's finally complete, though not as spectacular as I was hoping since I rushed it. It took me awhile to figure out what to do for a craft project this week and I didn't really have anything until yesterday. I was at JoAnn's getting some fabric to

I'm so sorry I haven't gotten up the Friday Project yet. It will be complete and posted shortly. In the meantime, here are some pictures from our day at Japan town yesterday.The Cherry BlossomsWe ate at a Japanese restaurant and what did I order? Fish and Chips.And here is the funniest picture I have ever seen. Aaron is really excited? And that look on Baby G's face, SCARY!

Lots of personal family stuff going on in my life right now. My father, after 15 years, has decided that he wants a relationship again. Of course he doesn't want all the nasty stuff that goes along with that, like apologies and owning up to his wrongs. I won't go into everything that happened right now, but suffice it to say that he screwed up way beyond anything that any parent is allowed to

I wanted to post something today, but really don't have much to say.I just took a nice, long, hot bubble bath and started reading Eragon. I know, I'm way behind on the popular reading, there's just so much good stuff out there. The book is okay. As much as it's been hyped I was expecting more, but I'm only a couple chapters in so far, so we'll see.Baby G is asleep on my chest. He's been fussy all

Work is kicking my butt, especially since I have no free time anymore. I'm an introvert and I need time alone, to recuperate.A quote from Wikipedia gives a fairly good definition of introversion: Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life". [1] Introverts tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and

Haven't come up with a cool name for my Friday Project post yet, and I also couldn't, or didn't have time to, come up with a project for this week. So instead I have five projects that I have found around the web that I think are interesting and would like to try.1. The first project I found at LifeHacker. It's a pen hack; a magnetized pen. Check it out here: MacGyver Tip: Magnetize a Bic pen2.

for this post, but I had to. I love Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I think he is super sexy (sorry sweetie). Anyway, he is in the new Showtime series The Tudors. It looks like it's going to be a good show, and though I don't watch television I look forward to being able to see it on DVD sometime in the future. For now, I can watch the first two episodes here.

I'm catching-up on my Google Reader this morning and finally got down to the L's. I saw a post at Life Training - Online. This is a really great blog that I think more people should know about. Currently “Life Training - Online, a blog dedicated to self improvement and personal development is hosting a free raffle where you can win an 80GB iPod Video!

I have so much catch-up to do! I have 347 items in my Google Reader to get through, I have a lot of emails to read, and a lot of stuff offline to do. Tomorrow (technically today) is my day off and I know how I'll be spending it now, geez. Tonight at work was great. It was going smoothly until I just had to open my big mouth and state, outloud, how good the store looked and that we would get out

I made it through my first day back at work. No crazy customers, and even the scammers were easy to deal with. I was bored out of my mind though and realized half-way through the day that I am wasting 40 hours a week of my life working for a pittance to make others richer. It's a sucky realization to make when you can't figure out how to fix the problem. There's got to be a better way, but what

So, tomorrow is the Big Day; I go back to work. I've been off work and on Maternity Leave for four months. I know how gosh darn lucky I am to have had that time, but I don't want it to be over. It's a lot more fun to stay home, blog, and be with my baby than to have to deal with customers for 8 hours a day. I'm trying to think of the good stuff. It will be nice to be in the book world again, and

Yesterday we finally went to the park. It was Baby G's first time there. This is the park that Aaron and I think of as "Our Park", lots of great memories were made there, some of which I can't post about ;). You can see more pictures of the park in a previous post.We had a little picnic and then walked on one of the main trails. Photos below.

Here is a fun project I completed yesterday. I have a box of imperfect beads; beads that are broken or misshaped, and some photo frames from IKEA. I needed to do a quick craft project and wanted to use the box of these beads.What you will need:* Photo frames. These frames from IKEA are perfect to work with. They come in packs of 3 and the 4X6 size is only $1.99.* Beads. Any beads will work,

I usually have 200+ a day to get through.; I had a lot of catching up to do. In case you haven't noticed, I have a Google Reader gadget on my right sidebar, and I add my favorite posts daily.

Don't have much to post about right now. Aaron started his Family Leave (Thank you California!) this week, so we have been spending a lot of time together as a family.Highlights from the weekend:* The pain in my wrist is getting worse, so I finally found a wrist brace and started wearing it yesterday.

Wow, Baby G is 3 months old today! Time has flown. I go back to work in a week and am really going to miss my time with him.This past month Baby G hit some major milestones. He has neck control and likes to follow us and the cat around the room with his eyes. He is sleeping through the night! He usually sleeps for a good 6 hour stretch, wakes for a bottle and diaper change and then goes back to

When I posted about ideas for new content on my blog I had mentioned something about showing you all how I organized my bathroom drawer. I was totally serious. It's not glamorous, it's not going to help you lose 10 pounds, or look younger, but it's something that's helped me in my "getting ready" process. Having your possessions organized can save you so much time. This week I'll show you how I

I wish I had audio to go along with this picture. The screaming....Oh, Lord, the screaming! Screaming when he's happy, screaming when he's frustrated, screaming when he's bored, screaming because he doesn't want to take a nap, screaming because he exists. Just 4 more hours and relief will be here. Hopefully my head will still be intact.
