finally took pics of the stuff from sdexpo2007 west. the only thing i didn't photograph were all the pens/paper. since those would have been hard to try and put on top of all the books and things. :) so here they are. the GNU book on the top was bought from RMS and is signed on the inside and says "Happy Hacking" that was from the LUG at Rick Moen's. We also bought one of the other books at the show. Not sure which title off the top of my head.

it has had it's ups and downs lately. but it is going pretty good. had a great time, once again, at the LUG this past weekend. although hitting my head really hard when I was unplugging the laptop from a power strip was not fun. got some really good advice that is going to help me become more proficient with a few things. it's sink or swim time. i had reached a real happy place with my weight loss goal but gained 2lbs back and was not in the happy place. but, as of this morning, i am back to where i was. so woot for making my goal again. i just need to get off my butt and keep up with the walking. i've been meaning to talk to my sister about helping me design my next tattoo and to decide on placement for it. it is probably going to sound like the cheesiest design but it has a lot of meaning to me. i want a tree with 2 koalas sitting on it. one holding a stuffed penguin. on a branch of the tree i want a sleeping bat. it is probably way too much for one tattoo and i will probably have to cut a few things but the main things are the koalas and the tree. we'll see. my sister will probably be able to help get the picture down on paper. i'm really looking forward to friday. i RSVPd for the Vox SF meetup :) woot. it should be loads of fun. i'm now going to have to figure out the logistics of going and everything :) i just hope that whatever kind of sniffles i am dealing with will go away by then. i guess that is all for now. take care lovelies :) *gives lots of hugs*

i walked away from my comp for about 30 minutes. enough time to finish making Chicken Korma with rice and naan. i had the sound up on my comp but apparently i didn't hear it beep. i come back and missed a message from someone i had been wanting to talk to. by the time i replied they were logged off. luckily they were/are using y!hell so they will get it when they get back online. i just hate when that happens. it happens more times than not. especially with people that are in different time zones. *sigh* oh well. maybe i'll talk to him sometime soonish.

walked with the hubby to costco today. we had to get replacement brushes for our toothbrush thingiemagummy. they had tons of sample people there. i missed the Bailey's girl though. i know it wasn't an alcoholic sample but still it would have been yummy. we also went to Cost Plus for fondue fuel. i know one thing, i need to walk a heck of a lot more. we slowed it up a bit and well my legs can feel it still. it will get changed. i need to lose more poundage rather than gain it all back. still under the weight i thought i was, so this is good. but still have a ways to go.

take care lovelies. *gives huggles* i'm off to get things ready for tomorrows LUG. like the cameras. and *maybe* the old apple laptop.

this past weekend was spent at the art museum in san jose looking at the m.c. escher exhibit. it was great. a bit more crowded than i like, since well crowds freak me out. but very fun. i just wish i could have pulled a few of the items off of the walls and brought them home. the op-art exhibit was nice too but after a while my eyes were freaking out. heh. after the museum we went to the LUG. it was quit fun. the cake the hubby made was a hit. must remember to take another one sometime. the conversation was awesome. talking about making a jerks computer explode remotely was fun. *giggle* i just need to remember not to blush so much at the mention of Colorado. i also go to meet Richard M Stallman (RMS). he was nice but didn't talk too much. it seemed like he was really tired. the past 2 days (sunday and today) have been spent hanging out and working with the hubby. it's been alright. when i don't snap about certain things. i'm just hoping that some of the leads from the LUG pan out into a new contract gig for him. he's been kind of down since the last contract ended. i understand him being down but it isn't that easy to deal with. i can only say 'i wish i could fix it' and 'you will find something soon' so many times before it starts to sound like i'm just hitting the playback button. we are thinking of going on a mini-vacation to get our minds off of things but due to the weather i think we are going to be putting it off for a while. i think the best thing would be to get out of the house for at least an hour a day and then get back to projects at hand. i'm sure you can all understand not being able to find something wrong in a code because you stared at it too long. it's like staring at a long string of accounting to only realise you transposed a number that you had been looking at for an hour thinking it was fine. we are also thinking of going to montana sometime soon to see our friends there. we'll see how all of that pans out. ok, that is all for now. take care lovelies. *gives hugs*

i am at the LUG again. it is going to be fun. it's been raining and pouring. i don't really like the rain all that much. mainly because for some reason i feel like i'm going to melt *giggles* found out that due to my own error a listing we did on eBay was/is wrong. which is going to be a hassle. i just hope the buyer will be understanding. you have to remember this is my *very* first listing up on eBay. i'm just going to cross my fingers. since this was my first one and well i do have a lot to sell up there. *sigh* i am anxiously awaiting the new QC. i'm also trying to figure out what to get the hubby for vday and what i want for vday. at first i was thinking a watch. then i was thinking an iPod. now i have no clue. maybe a dvd. most likely it will be a new medical bracelet. since the one i have is now outdated due to switching cell numbers. dunno, but we'll see. i still have lots to do for work. i have just been putting it off. which is what i normally do. heh. then i stress. fun fun. i know that the hubby and i are going to the movies since i got a free gift cert for fandango. i'm hoping to go see "Ghost Rider" :) woot. well, i need to go for now. don't have much else to say. take care lovelies. *gives huggles*
