As you can see, I’m currently redesigning the site so there may be a few errors or funky things going on. It took me three days to do the image part and I’m quite proud of it because it is an absolute first for me. I’ve never made a full layout like this before, never mind a fancy blend. I never would have been able to achieve even this much a few months ago but, hey, practice makes perfect, right? I still have a long way to go but at least I feel like I’m getting somewhere with PS at last.

LOL! We left for my brother’s this morning and only got as far as Linlithgow before the car started acting up. The throttle was revving up by itself or something and my dad decided to turn back in case we broke down.

A couple of hours later, I decided to have toast for lunch and the toaster blew up. It killed the electricity in the entire house and there were sparks everywhere. Gave me a real fright, as you can imagine. What’s next??? I was scared to touch my computer in case the same thing happened again.

Shit, my ankles are still killing me and I don’t what the hell is causing it - they haven’t been like this for ages. I’m starting to get a headache too from the sun I guess. Shoot me now!

How come the weekend goes in so fast? I can’t believe I have to get up for work tomorrow already. *pouts* Never mind, I get paid this week and then I’m off next Monday as it is a local holiday. I promised myself to do some writing since I’ve been very lazy this weather.

The Debonair Forums now has a snazzy new portal which allows users to create blogs, etc, of course no one has bothered as usual which makes all my efforts seem like a waste of time.

I really want a new layout for here but I can’t find one I like. I’ve been messing around in PS, trying to do one myself but I suck big time. I feel like a George Eads related one but my favourite pic would look better on a dark background and I’m not sure I want that on here.

Jeez, remember that post I made about how summer was a washout? I take it back! Bring back the rain! It’s been so hot this week, I feel like I’m dying. It’s not nice heat either - it’s all sticky and horrible. It’s too hot to sleep and I feel like I’m working in a damn greenhouse by the afternoon. I have so much running about to do at work, the back of my top is literally sticking to my back all day despite the numerous applications of body spray and Magicool!

Right now, my ankles are throbbing mercilessly (I have weak ankles) because I had to wear my boots to work - my sandals were so uncomfortable the day before I had big strap marks where they’d been digging into my feet. Solved that with a trip to dear old Marks and Sparks this afternoon where I actually shelled out for a pair of over-expensive sandals because they were so soft. I’m so sick and tired of buying cheap shoes that barely last a month and are so uncomfy. We only have about two decent shoe shops left in my town, the rest sell cheap and nasty stuff.

Apparently Scotland is going to have its hottest summer since 1914…. I can hardly wait… Then again, the bad winter predictions never happened.

Hey, I don’t mind sun, but can’t we have the nice stuff where you can still breath and don’t feel like you are going to pass out if you so much as move from your chair?

Speaking of passing out, I’ve had a couple of near misses with the old labyrthinitis symptoms this week which just sucks big time. It’s been three years, how much longer do I have to put up with this shit? They were very,very mild attacks so I guess I should be grateful for that at least.

Last year, I made comment in my blog about wanting to adopt a dolphin in the Moray Firth of Scotland but with work being so erratic, I never had the money to actually do it. So, today, I finally adopted a dolphin called Sundance. Sundance is a male dolphin who was born in 1990.

I’m still planning on adopting a wolf too!

I’m sooo tired right now, I can barely think straight. I had my first review at work today and was told they were very pleased at how well I was fitting in with everyone and was obviously a hard worker. I guess it is always gratifying to hear they are pleased with me but why does everything have to be so difficult?

My boss outlined all the courses I’d have to go on to “develop” myself within the dept, yadda, yadda, yadda. *sigh* Why can’t ppl just go to work, do the damn job and get paid without all the sucking up that has to be done? “Look at me, I went on all the courses and I’m a teamplayer, gimme that bonus right now. ”

Hello?! I’m there for the wage packet at the end of the month and I don’t particularly want to be the next prime minister. Why the hell do I have to prove anything? My work should speak for itself.

I bought 21 Jump Street on DVD since it was on sale in HMV this week. I’ve never seen this series and thought I’d try it since it is supposed to be really cool, besides if I hated it I could always flog it on eBay. It’s actually really dated looking and I wasn’t that impressed until I saw some of the later episodes in the first season which had fairly decent storylines.

The best thing about it though is definitely Johnny Depp and I’m going through a mini Depp obsession as a result! Must dig out Edward Scissorhands this weekend, I love that movie!
