stephanie is: 
clean…
weekend update!
saturday i baked fresh sweet orange rolls for breakfast. i worked on member stuff allll day. more on that later. i stopped only for deener with the husband. he worked on stuff too. not too exciting but good enough for me.
we woke up around 9 both days. today we ventured out on a few errands, one of which involved getting ear ointment for china. and i thought cleaning china’s ears with normal ear cleaner was hard when i noticed how bad it was… it took quite a white to get enough drops in, and she was not pleased. hopefully it will get easier as the week of drops progressed. ear infections are no fun at all.
i put in a bit more time in working on site stuff and we took a trip to the grocery store for a few things we were out of. i got my air freshener for 50¢ because it was onsale for $1, and my 25¢ coupon doubled. woo, double coupons! ahem.
after lunch i got a call from an art director on a contract i am on. they needed some graphics redone for Large Internet Provider for monday. not surprising since the delvery dates have been mondays. though they are hoping to change that. so i worked on that in the late afternoon/evening.
danny cooked dinner. he made salad, pasta with red sauce, sun-dried tomato garlic bread… he piled my plate high to “put meat on my bones”. i had had lunch only 4 hours earlier so the pasta kicked my ass.
i just took my bath. i have been prefering baths to showers lately. i enjoy soaking for at least a half hour in a warmish bath with my shower soap in it, reading. then i shave, scrub, and shampoo. lather, rinse, repeat. and a tradition was upheld today. ivan fell in my bath, so now every one of my cats has fallen in my bath -just once- as a kitten. i scooped him out and tried to dry him but he’d have none of that! seeing his skinny wet ass walking away brought tears of laughter to my eyes… *step* *step* *shake* … *step* *step* *shake*
so… site stuff. i’ve said before i am redoing the gallery section for members. BIG PROJECT. yea. cause i have near 20,000 photos and i am putting keywords in for them all so you can search easier. 1509 entered so far… i expect this will take a couple weeks, but at least i have written all the php for it. you may notice it is partially linked in. and those of you who have been in chat may have beta-tested for me. you will be able to rank the images, comment on them, search by keywords, see my favorites, see the most/least popular, see them by rating, veiw them randomly, and watch them in slideshows. i coded it all from scratch and i am damn fucking proud of it. thank yous to gae and ee for helping out when my brain was fried and wasn’t sure of some syntax.
once the great gallery project is done, i will get everything else caught up and begin weekly cam shows, scheduled chats, and regular posed gallery postings. i have already taken pictures for one, and have a list of ideas to try. there will be more stephanie than you can shake a stick at. that is probably not a good thing, but bite me. i do what i like cause i like it and i can.
i want waffles.
i have always had a bad memory… well, mor elike a strange memory. i either remember everything about something, or nothing at all. i don’t rememeber much about growing up – even through college… just vague memories, and very few details. kinda sad, but life goes on. once i started my site and had journals and daily photos of my life, i began remembering more. now i can often tell you what i was wearing and had eaten on a particular day if something of interest happened. i wish i could watch my earlier life like a tv show though. there are a lot of black holes in my mind and it is disconcerning. i realized the other dayi couldn’t remember if i got braces on my top or bottom teeth first. but i can tell you what i was wearing on the first day of kindergarten and than my dad had to pull down my dress in the back as i walked towards the door. i can’t remember anything about my mom except being in a stroller in a mall and stairing at the designs on a booth in the middle of the walkway. wigs or hair accesories i think, since it and black and white 70’s line drawings of ladies with flowing hair. i can hardly rememebr how to get anywhere in my home town though i lived there 18 years. i am glad my website has helped me hold on to things a little bit more.
i still want waffles.
tomorrow i will be on my computer doing contract and freelance work, as well as more gallery crap. stop by chat if you’d like. just go to stvlive.com and choose “chat” from the top when you reach the main menu. there you’ll find ways of joining us.we will make you one of us, mwuahahahaha! i do have to run out to the bank and perhaps i will venture to the pobox. i think it is time to pay them again, dammit. heh. i will entice myself with the thought of seeing if any yarn is on sale at the craft store.
