Blogger Notes

What’s new This week at GRT!

Well I think summer is here in Spokane. We hit almost 90 degrees today. but there is a nice breeze coming though the back yard. So I am enjoying it. Getting color too!

As I said, it's Friday. The weekend is upon us. So, what am I doing?

Oh so much to do. LOL A good list actually. I have been working on some ideas for the blog, including articles and themes. I am currently working on a stylesheet for this darn thing too. yes, I am putting my Web Design Certificate to good use. Building up my portfolio. Starting with my websites and blog site. gotta start somewhere. I am also working on a friend's site as well that I am going to add to my portfolio. :)

Loni and I have something in common -- we both lost a very dear pet within a week of each other. My Mitzy passed on May 11th -- she was just a year old. And Loni's Peppermint passed on the 16th. Below are pics our fur babies.

My Mitzy Boo.












Loni's Peppermint.

Losing a pet is hard but we are both on our paths to healing :)

other news for GRT? well I am restructing the biz ... hard times, hard times. Need to figure out what to do. The biggest issue is getting profits above expenses. Nose to the grind stone. Time to call in the big guns and see what Goddess, Universe and the old Horned One can do. Hey I will take some fairy dust on my resume as well! hint hint! and some Angel blessings on my applications, too :)

Hope you all have a great weekend. Get outside and enjoy the weather. Summer is here!!!

first, I am going to address that I am a horrible blogger :) I really need to post more often. So, I am declaring today that my goal is to post once a week -- I will post once a week, regardless if it is just to say hello :) My ultimate goal is 3 times a week, but with school and family once is at least doable. Okay mark "goal setting" off the todo list.

Happy Memorial day to All! I am sitting here in my backyard enjoying the beautiful sunny day and the nice breeze wondering what it really means to me. Growing up, Memorial day was all about honoring our military heroes. Being a Minnesota native, it also meant opening up the cabin up north for the summer! Beginning of summer! School is almost out, if not already for some. Some of us are getting ready to celebrate Midsummer Night (Summer Solstice) [winter solstice in the southern hemisphere], while others are gearing up for a fun filled summer. For all of us though, it goes by so quickly.

There is a new moon upon us. And I am very excited. Okay we are all dealing with Mercury Retrograde, and being a Virgo I feel like it's a double whammy :), however I am feeling lots of good energies and vibrations coming to all all of us.

With all that yammering on, enjoy your summer! Get off your arse and get outside for a little bit everyday. Unplug from the computer at least 15 minutes a day! Don't eat your lunch at the desk. Go outside and enjoy the sunshine! If it's raining, bring an umbrella! Once a week get the family together and make smores. No firepit, you say?! Use your grill! No grill? Get creative! My honey took apart the broken washer, pulled out the ceramic coated drum that you put the clothes in, and is using that for a "fire pit". Talk about innovative. I love it. I get to burn all the paper products -- yeah, Spokane is still a little behind on the whole Recycle thing (so many dos and don'ts, that I don't see the point. Morons) -- and make smores at the same time. Anyone want a roasted hotdog?? Awesome!

Be Creative! Get off your ARSE!!! Get outside! And do stuff with the kids! There is so much you can do that you dont' need money to do! Living in a material world, it's hard to see that yes you can do things that are free! But believe me, there are plenty of things you can do that don't cost a thing! So get out there and JUST DO IT!!!!

Sunday starts a new week! I have a list of fun stuff to post! as well as working on a unique to me template! Gotta keep up on the design biz, right?? What better place to start than my own stuff. LOL

Happy Memorial day ALL!
Bright Blessings!

OMG so much going on lately.

I am just past midterm 3rd quarter at SCC. I am enrolled in the Software Development program and very excited. I get my 1st certificate end of this quarter. Woot! One step closer to getting my AAS. During spring quarter I start Ruby -- this is the beginning of 3 quarters worth learning this language. Super stoked.

I am very excited about learning Ruby as this is where the bigger money is right now as there is a high demand but not many that are fluent with Ruby as opposed to say PHP or Perl for example. Ruby on Rails is in a budding stage and growing fast.

I am also going to the Ruby on Rails conference May 4th - 7th --- at the Las Vegas Hilton! Woot! Can we say Road trip for the SCC computer club?!?!?! That's right --- 10 people in a 15 peeps van driving from Spokane WA to Las Vegas! OMG Geeks on the road! Too much fun!

This is going to be a great experience and also a potential job seeking opportunity! There is a small group of us that are looking into starting up a group project as well! So keeping fingers crossed. It's time to start putting my smarts to earning money!

something to share with all of you!

From The Secret Daily Teachings - Thank You Thursday

"Today is Thank You Thursday. Today and every Thursday is your day to say and feel "Thank you" in as many ways as you can.

Write a list of all the people and events you want to give thanks for.

Return thanks today to those who have done things for you.

As you walk say "Thank you" in your mind with each step you take.

As you drive, make each time you stop your cue to say "Thank you."

At various times in the day, think and feel "Thank you" inside you seven times in a row.

Look for every opportunity to say "Thank you" to other people, and say it with so much meaning that the person looks right at you.

Thank your way through every Thursday, and make "Thank you" your predominant thought, feeling, and words of the day.

"Thank you" - two words, inconceivable potential power, and all they need is you to put the power into them by expressing them.

Thank you!"
