Hello visitor. I'm sorry for the lack of recent updates but I have had to take a time out for job hunting. Fortunately my hunt has come to an end and I start my new position on the 26th. Until then i'll probably post infrequently but once things settle down again i'll post more regularly and make visits too. I'm also reorganizing Poser files after obtaining an external hard drive. You'll definitely learn alot from this experience which i'll be happy to share soon.

Hope you had a great Valentines Day and enjoy the upcoming Presidents Day weekend!

I had a pretty good weekend. On Saturday and Sunday I didn't feel very good so we stayed home and watched movies. "An American Haunting" was such a disappointment! It's good all the way through and then it has this STUPID and senseless ending. I should have watched the "Davinci Code" instead.

Yesterday John and I went to visit my daughter which was very nice. She has the nicest apartment and she keeps it so CLEAN!! A far cry from when she lived at home. Getting her to keep her room clean was like pulling teeth. My habits were the same when I lived at home with my mom. Most times you couldn't take a step into my bedroom without stepping on clothes, or toys, or books. In any case she cooked a delicious pot of spaghetti and John installed her new printer.

Afterwards we returned home and I watched the Golden Globe awards. It was fantastic in that every film and every actor/actress that I wanted won their awards. Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, Forrest Whitaker, and Helen Mirrin were my favorites. I LOVED Helen in Elizabeth I, so to see her having a big night was great. She rocks as an actress. "The Queen" is on the top of my list for movies to see also. I have a list of 17 movies that I have yet to see. I'm really behind, so hopefully most of them will come to DVD pretty quickly.

Well, have a great Monday, i'm off to create an image in Poser that's been on my mind.

So far 2007 has been kinda depressing for me. The Denver area has seen so much snow we can't handle it. I've lived here more than 30 years and i've never seen this many snow storms and the season's just getting started! Tomorrow we're getting an arctic blast coming in from Alaska of all places along with yep, you guessed it; more SNOW! We've already seen avalanches along the I-70 corridor, stranded motorists, thousands of lost and starving cattle, (and you know what that means for upcoming meat prices dontcha')? *Sigh* Okay enough complaining. The good news is our drought is probably over so the water company can stop taking all of our money so we can water the grass again this summer! Yay! I've also had plenty of time to be creative so be sure to visit my Renderosity gallery to see what i've been up to. My skills keep improving and i'm pretty proud of myself.

I hope to get some resources together for you soon and i'll also offer some freebies on Renderosity so stay tuned for that. Bare with me...I feel a mood change coming on...soon.

I know I haven't been updating. This darn blizzard, then another major snowstorm had me kinda bummed and bored so I had no energy to do anything creative or exciting. I'm sorry for not wishing you a very Merry Christmas, but I hope you had one anyway.

My wish for 2007 is for PEACE...PEACE...PEACE!!! I'm so tired of violence and war. Without peace no matter what our achievements are, we could lose it all in the blink of an eye. So pray and meditate for PEACE in 2007!

Have fun at the party but drive safe, drink responsibly. Don't mix drinking and driving!

Yay!! No school, no work...it's a huge blizzard! We can't even see across the street. It's already dumped 2 feet of snow and more is on the way. Pictures are HERE. It's BAD. If the power stays on and I don't lose the internet it will be okay, but I feel sorry for the folks stranded at the airport. It's Christmas Time!! Poor folks. Anyhow, i'm off to drink some coffee to get warm before I shovel a path for my dogs to get out to the yard. Enjoy your day!

Never in my life have I searched all over town to buy Christmas lights. For some unknown reason I got it in my head that I wanted to decorate my house in blue lights. On Saturday I saw plenty of blue lights at Walmart and picked up a couple of boxes. Saturday night I realized that we needed more. Sunday we went back to Walmart for blue lights. They were sold out! That just could not be! I coaxed hubby into searching for the elusive blue lights. He went to Target, Walgreens, another Walmart, and the grocery store. No blue lights!! Plenty of multi-colored, clear, and red lights but no blue ones. Now, at this point most people would have given up since we had plenty of clear lights and multi-colored lights sitting in a box...but nooooooo. I want BLUE LIGHTS!! On Monday hubby went to another Walmart out by where he works. Still no lights. When he got home from work I dragged him back out to not one, but TWO hobby stores. Guess what?? No BLUE LIGHTS. We arrived home and I looked at my partially finished decorations and decided that maybe I could live without the blue lights and mix white lights with the blue. I pondered that thought and went to bed.

I'm still working on the site behind the scenes. With the holidays fast approaching and many other things going on in my life i've been busier than anticpated and my blogging hasn't quite got off the ground. What i'm working on are handmade Xmas cards done using Poser, plus shopping for the family.

Here's one image i'm working on for a Xmas card design: You can see it full size by clicking HERE.

I hope that you're having a great season so far and perhaps you're lucky enough to have all of your shopping done already?

Enjoy your day!

This is a joke my hubby sent in an email. I think it's kinda funny: Have a happy Tuesday. Oh by the way. I wasn't expecting that ending on Heroes last night. Why do we have to wait until January 22nd to find out what happens next?! Just when it starts to get really intriguing!

So, what do you blog about when you really can't think of anything to say?

I've seen many blogs where people go and get a cute joke or meme, or some other quiz or game just to have a placemark. Many other bloggers simply copy and paste a news story they read about and then have a sentence or two at the end regarding their personal feelings about the story and we're supposed to be interested enough to respond. Personally I think i'd rather read about how the blogger got up that morning, had a cup of coffee, got dressed, went to work, came home and watched tv than to read a plagiarized news article they swiped from some other site.

Now, don't worry i'm not attacking anyone for doing this. I've done it myself in the past. But after visiting a blog today that simply copied a news story i've decided that I won't be doing that because it makes for a boring blog. Instead i'll tell you that I got up, had a cup of coffee and then played around on my favorite site called Renderosity. My gallery is there and one of my images seems to be really popular since it now has 6 favorites and 28 comments. This has made me very happy.

After playing around on Renderosity and buying more (not really needed and expensive) Poser stuff from RDNA, I scraped a ton of snow off of my car (it is friggin' cold outside!!) and headed off to the vet to get my dogs some heartguard pills. I love my Papillons as if they are my children. So yes, I braved the icy roads to get them their 6 month supply of heartworm medication. Oh you should see the joy on their little faces as they gobble up the pills. Ahh, the simple life. Have you ever wished you were born a dog? Ahem...

Anyway, after washing two loads of clothes I cleaned up the kitchen, vacuumed the floors, and waited for hubby to come home. We interacted for a bit until I told him he always talks during TV programming instead of waiting for a commercial. He promptly shut down and didn't say a word for about 30 minutes. I freaked out and tried to make him speak which only lead to grunts and hand signals. That my friend, was interesting. Finally at 7pm he spoke. I don't remember what he said, but it was good to have him back.

That's my day in a nutshell. Tonight I plan to watch My Name is Earl, E.R., and Emperor of the Sea. I'll probably render something, have a glass of Merlot and go to bed around 1 or 2am.

See, I had everything and nothing to say. But wasn't that a little more interesting than a copied news article? Perhaps.
