As you can see, I’ve added a new theme tonight! Change is good, change is constant. It never gets old for me. I upgraded the back end of this blog today as well to WordPress 2.8 and it’s added several new features behind the scenes including a new theme browser and installer which just makes it easier for me to change the look of the web site on you all. Another thing it has done (and I think it’s a bug) is completely remove the visual editor which means at least for the time being, I’ve lost the integrated spell checker and style formatting buttons. I don’t have time to play with it tonight to find out how to fix it so hopefully my spelling won’t be too bad.
I got LOTS of stuff done today finally. I was finally able to get outside for a little while and mow the grass. It has been raining non-stop for nearly a week here and I think the grass grew a good 6″ in less than 3 days. It was nice to get that trimmed down a bit. My plants are just loving the wet weather. The tomato’s are coming along just fine and my herb garden is starting to take shape. Soon, I’ll have a flower bed of daisies and one of my rose bushes made it through the winter so I should start to see some flowers on it soon. I wish I had more time in the day to enjoy my little yard. As it is, I am working so much that I hardly have time to mess around out there and when I do get a day off, I’d much rather be at the lake than at my house in town (so would Gavin). Oh well, I’m glad I even have a yard.
I’ve got a new addition to my wrist now. Mom bought me and my dad new watches for father’s day and it’s been a good 15 years since I’ve actively worn a watch. It’s not a bad idea to have one, I hope though that I don’t destroy it at work. One of the main reasons I quit wearing a watch is becuase time moved SO SLOW when I wore it. I just have to quit looking at it. I like this one though. It’s got a good band and I think I’ll be able to get used to it.
I decided tonight that I would hit Subway for dinner. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a sub from them and it was a toss up between Pizza and a Sub. For what it cost me, a Pizza would have been much better. My typical fare for Subway is their Subway Melt. I can remember in Grand Rapids eating this sometimes 2-3 days a week (ya, I know, I don’t need the “healthy food lecture”). I don’t ever remember spending more than $5-6 on a meal combo. It cost me $9.50 for a meal combo tonight! That is INSANE! I can eat at Burger King for less than that, hell, I can eat at home for less than $1!!!! I do need to start looking a little harder at my diet. I’ve managed to cut back on the cheese burgers but I’m still a softie for a BK cheeseburger. Gotta have them. My goal this summer is to shed another 5-10lbs which is pretty ambitious. I’m not sure yet how I’m going to accomplish it.
I go back to work this weekend for the 3rd weekend in a row. I’m not looking forward to it. I’ve not had too many customer issues lately thank God. My co-workers have but I’ve managed to avoid the nasty people lately. That’s good becuase when you are working 55-60 hour weeks, tired as hell, and physically worn down it only takes one jackass to screw you up for the entire week. The weather is supposed to be pretty decent (still dam cold) and I hope that brings people out. I have a HUGE sales week forecast this next week. If I don’t see more people, there is just no way I’m going to make it! GET OUT AND SHOP! This recession will continue as long as people are not spending money. Well, it’s off to bed now. Have a good weekend!
