I have internet at home again!  Which is not to say I'm updating from home -- I'm actually at work now, in a rare calm moment while Miles plays with some toys in his playpen.

Yeah.  This marks the second Saturday in a row I've had the baby with me.  It's a bit exhausting, no lies, particularly because the girl slated to work 2 - 5 got stuck at her other job, so I'm 8 - 5 today.  Wooooo.

Anyway, onto more relevant topics: my laptop died.  I barely knew it three months, and the motherboard apparently just crapped out.  It's a known problem with this product that they stopped fixing in August.  It was a gift, though, and was already used when I got it, so really, this should be a lesson to me.  After two used laptops crapping out on me in under four months, I should really just save up and get a new one.

So I'm back to sharing my husband's desktop.

I was working on NaNoWriMo this year, but that was on the laptop that was giving me no indication that it was about to die mightily, and... Yeah.  No backups.  I've got a friend who tells me we'll probably be able to get my hard drive out in one piece, but I've been in no rush.  I've got no time.  O_O  Thus marks another failed year of NaNo.

Miles is doing very well, now at eight months old.  That's really weird.  It seems too soon for him to be eight months.

We finally got married, which was awesome.

I changed jobs.  Well, I worked two part time jobs until one of them offered me a full-time position made of awesome.

I got my website up, even if it lacks purpose right now. 

More later, I guess.  I still intend to put together a 'My Internet Vacation' series of posts, but I need to decide how they'll be organized. 

Glad to be back, though!

October 22nd, 2009

I'm still internetless, but I will say this; tomorrow, instead of being a Ms. Hill, I will become a Mrs. Poland.

OMFG. I'm so excited I could die. And I may just die of exhaustion at this rate. I'm going to be up all night getting the playlist for the reception put together, and getting it to flow and have a good distribution of things I like, things Andy likes, and things out guests will like is a complicated thing.

Then I get up, get some last minute things done, work from noon until seven, and then get in the car and drive to Kansas City to get my best friends from high school OMFG. Then we drive back and go straight out for some bachelor/bachelorette karaoke at the bar.

Provided I can find a babysitter.

An Intermission

We still don't have steady internet, but I will stop to say that I can't understand why the cry-it-out method is the go-to method of everyone as it relates to babies. I understand that crying is more communication than emotional output to a baby, but it is easily the most miserable thing I've ever done.

It's heartless and nasty and I hate that I can't seem to come up with any better solution to get Miles sleeping alone in his crib. I know at 7 months he's old enough to handle this, but I'm not convinced that I'm old enough to handle it.

End my bitching. Sorry world. ^^; (We're rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist. Well, "rewatching" implies we've ever seen the entire series, but you get the idea.)

I think texting should get some credit as far as writing goes. You have to convey enough in 160 characters to get a response.

What I Did Without the Internet: the Intro

I know it's been forever since I've updated. I'm willing to bet that at this very moment, no one is reading this blog. That's okay. I've been incredibly busy, and I still don't have internet in our awesome new apartment. Soon. Things are so much better than they have been. =D Getting this blog up and running again is right up there in my goals, though.

But I've decided, since writing has fallen into something of a void since our son's birth, that I want to tackle a little project here. What I did on my internet "vacation." I've done quite a bit, lots of things have changed for us, and I think it would be fun to share. And starting this doesn't mean that we have internet. But we do have a computer, and soon I'll have a functioning laptop, so updates will come together with greater ease. Using internet on the PS3 is ridiculous and impossible, particularly as it relates to updating here.

Keep your eyes open. Soon I'll have the content plans up, and after that I'll begin posting what I have.

It's Hard to Update in a Void, especially when the PS3 won't recognize the large entry text box as a an actual text box. It's pretty bananas.

Ahhhhhhhh!

I am not dead nor abandoning this blog, I merely have had no internet at home. Should be back within a month. See you then!
