A Little Bit of Food and a Lot of Alcohol

Tonight after work I stopped by Cheeseburger in Paradise with some friends from work. I don't really care for the food or drinks at Cheeseburger but that didn't stop me from eating and drinking. I tried out a sunken treasure and didn't really care for that and then had a pain in the Bahamas. The pain was good and for food I ordered the mini chili dogs, they were alright. I also had a shot of tequila that came with one of my friends drinks. Yuk, I hate takilla.

When I got home my Lock and Lock storage containers arrived. I ordered them off of QVC this past weekend when they had their 24 hours of cooking/food shows. I was in heaven.


Then tonight while I was going through my emails and watching disc 2 of Gossip Girl I received and invite to the Resistance 2 Beta. I'm gonna download it after Gossip Girl is done. Damn this show is addictive.

The Skills are Rusty

Its been a few years since I've dabbled in HTML and layout and web design and working on this blog has been some work. Its going a lot slower than I thought. There is so much I need to relearn and master. I also need to get back into the swing of things with photoshop. Tonight I finally added some color and thrown in the side boxes. Now I need to figure out all the things I want to throw in those boxes. I got lots of things swirling around in my head and I just need to figure out how to get them out of there and onto here.

Tonight I also finished up disc 1 of Gossip Girl. I had never watched it on TV but was curious about it so I added it to my Netflix Queue. I really like the show and can't wait to get the rest of the first season through Netflix. I think this will be another show that I will watch just on DVD and not bother with trying to watch it when it airs on tv.

I'm so glad tomorrow is finally Friday. This weekend is going to be a busy working weekend at home in the basement. I picked up some paint today after work for the baseboards. Were going to paint the boards before we lay down the laminate flooring.

After work today I stopped into Aldi and uck, I was not impressed. I guess I was expecting more for the store and when I walked in it reminded me of Save A Lot. There were so many people in there because it just opened that it just wasn't worth checking out for me. I walked down a couple of aisles and walked out. I will have to wait a few more weeks and recheck it out and see if it'll be worth my dollars. Right now I'm thinking no but I will have to give it time.

Its Taking Shape

There is no color or styling here right now, but what I do have is the foundation for the blog setup. I went through tonight and figured out all the different div's for the blog and got that all written up. I previewed it and it looked good so I saved it. Now I have to go through and figure out color, style and images for the blog. That shouldn't take me too long now that the foundation is set. I'm so glad its finally taking shape. I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

Working on the Layout

I sat down tonight and started working on the layout coding for the blog and I'm stumbling through it. I thought I had it all typed up correctly and then pasted it into blogger and its not working. There is something wrong and I have to go through now and figure out where my mistake is. Its probably something I'm gonna put off until tomorrow night or sometime later this week. I'm getting tired and I think I'm gonna play some video games.

This weekend I had to work Saturday afternoon, that went by alright. Went by fast at first and then slowed down when it got closer to quitting time. I didn't really do anything exciting this weekend, last night I played some video games and today I did more of the same. Also watched "Baby Mama" on Blu-Ray, did some laundry and decided on a Halloween costume. Now I need to find a yellow shirt, some yellow pants and a yellow hat. Yup, I'm gonna be the Man in the Yellow Hat.
