My boyfriend is selling his great condition Nissan 300 ZX. You can check out the ad here: Nissan 300ZX.
Alright. So I have constant frustration with building websites. I had to learn all by myself, and continue to learn on my own to this day. I did have a little help with setting up web hosting from my previous boss but as far as figuring every little detail out…yeah that’s all me. {insert eye rolling smiley here}
I’d like to optimize my site better, make it more readable, cleaner, simpler but all of that seems so complicated. Websites shouldn’t be this complicated, IMO. *sigh* Case in point…I just tried to update my “Yet Another Related Posts Plugin” that I have on this site to change the hover over font color to something other than white and I haven’t done that successfully.
So instead of really optimizing my website to the fullest extent, I end up leaving it with all its flaws up for the entire internet world to see. Oh well, at least I’m honest about it, right?
Constant Reminder: I am NOT perfect. I will never be perfect in this life. Get that perfectionist vibe out of my brain.
People, FYI when leaving a comment on my site, remember that I know exactly where you are! I can see where you’re located. I now have your email address. Any unwanted comments on my website will be deleted and tracked.
So, Mr. mntnman1020, I know exactly where you live in the United States of America. I can even pinpoint the exact street you live on! I would think twice before posting a not-so-friendly comment on my site.
Okay, thank you.
I applied for a mostly work-at-home job that I’m pretty excited for. They called me for an interview, which I’m completely nervous for, on Monday. So wish me luck! I hope I can snag this job and turn it into full time. It’s part-time but could work into full-time, is what they said. So we’ll see.
I’m still making cards and trying to sell them on the side. I also babysit for my brother and his wife and their 3 outgoing boys. And I’ve been looking into selling stock photography lately. I want to get into that, but I haven’t submitted anything quite yet. But the more I learn, the easier it sounds to get involved with. And now I hope to land this new job possibility. Things are lookin’ up for me finally. 
So along with fixing the hole in the bathroom, my dad found out that our house isn’t quite up to Provo zoning standards, since it was built in 1944! Duh! Anyway, he needed to put in bigger windows in the basement (one in each bedroom) so an adult-sized person can use it as a fire escape.
And here are some before pics – where my rooms look like a CRIME LAB since I covered all my stuff in plastic so it wouldn’t get dirty-dusty.
Yep, that’s my house, the two bedroom basement I live in. LOL! It looks like a crime lab, doesn’t it? I know what you were thinking. Don’t deny it!

Skip to when I got off of work tonight…
I don’t think they are completely finished yet, but here is what they look like NOW:
I’m hoping this isn’t finished cuz they look like crap if so. Nah, but seriously these are HUGE windows!! I think we need either blinds or drapes now to cover these babies. But it’ll FINALLY let in some LIGHT into this little basement! Woohoo!
Because he fixed up my bathroom and made it look all nice again!
Caution: The following picture might not be for the weak…
nasty worm
See this worm?? Yep that one right up there ^^^ It was crawling around in my bathTUB one night when I went to get in for my routine nightly shower!! And here’s another friend I found a different day:
earthworm
At least this one is an earth worm though! Here’s another shot of it, to prove it was still moving when I found it. YUCK!!
earthworm2
Well this worm-in-my-tub problem didn’t start until we had a leak from the upstairs toilet, creating a bubble in the wall, then a hole, then had to have a plumber come over to “fix” it (which is in quotes because it’s a relative term, in this case), who broke off most of the bathroom wall and left this big gaping hole…
hole1
And the ceiling to that hole is…
hole2
Oh wait, it’s MISSING since it’s a big fat HOLE!
Alright, so when the plumber came he advised us to get an exterminator over here real quick to spray for the swarm of (and I quote) “weird-looking bugs and spiders” that he saw up in the ceiling between our two floors. Needless to say, I hate bugs, D.E.S.P.I.S.E. them! Um so I had sticky traps on my floors all around, in like every room. Mostly they were gnats flying around but then I had some humongous spiders as well. Proof:
Yuck!
Yep! That’s the biggest spider I’ve seen in my own living space, to date! Alrighty, well let’s get to the solution.
My Dad is the greatest Dad because he came in town from my home state of California and stayed a week to fix this gaping hole and work on some other things around the house too. K I just checked everywhere and I guess I don’t have a picture of the newly finished bathroom work my dad did. 
Dangit. Oh well, you’ll just have to imagine it.
