Well, the mess with Mesopia went easier than I thought it would. Still no word back on my domain, well, unless you just count the receipt of them charging us $12 for the domain. *sighs*

Today was a massive grocery getting day, a quick attempt to fill up the pantry until we can get another chance to catch out breath.

Well, it didn’t last long. Apparently, mom didn’t think for the last rent check she wrote and it bounced. All of five days before she cashed her next paycheck. Since I’ll be the only one home tomorrow, I suppose it’s up to me to go talk to the landlords and beg forgiveness for the check. I don’t remember for sure, but I seem to recall seeing a note in the rules we agreed to that says we now have to pay via money order. Oh well, that’s for tomorrow.

(Waiiit… wasn’t I avoiding money matters?)

First week of college went okay, I’m pretty sure I can do this. The group project they want for this next week is a little scary, but everyone seems pretty nice. I really didn’t do anything today with it, so tomorrow I have to check the class message boards again and make myself known.

It’s hilarious, Jass and I have become lurkers on every MB on the planet… with the exception of the school boards. Thing is, since we’re not appearing in person, we have to make significant posts in order to be considered “participating.” But it’s not that hard, the instructors give you essay questions you have to answer almost every day and since everyone is so nice; chit-chat is easy too.

The academic advisors already have my summer classes picked out. I get to take Composition II, Human Relations, File Management, and Internet and the WWW. Composition II sounds okay, I’ve needed it for a while and I’m not sure what to make of Human Relations. But taking me through Files and a introduction to the internet is just, well…. funny?

Yeah, my blog isn’t pretty anymore. I HAD to upgrade wordpress. So tomorrow, after the walk to the office and then school, I’ll settle down and rework my poison layout to work with the new version. I tried to get the LiveJournal auto-update program to work with Wordpress, but it’s not compatable. So, I’m still crossposting.

Much love to everyone

Ick… I’m sorry to hear that, Theresa. I was hoping my bad luck had just passed, not passed on to someone else - especially not you. *hugs tight* After we’re hooked back up for internet and stuff, I’ll try to catch you on MSN. *super big hugs* Give everyone a hug from us!

Oh, and before I forget…. The ice-cream is Ben & Jerry’s “Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch”, Mom and Jass got “Brownie Batter.” ^_^

We purchased the manufactured house today! $22,000 later, we were given the rules for the community we’re moving to and were told the house should be ready to move into on Monday. ^___^ That includes Deposit, Lot Rent, and Pet Deposit so we should be all set for a least September. They have to finish a few repairs and get the Gas company in to connect the gas and it should be all set. We’re going to be calling Two Men & A Truck tomorrow and setting up the move for the 24th or 25th. Packing is almost complete, but I feel like we’ve reached an impasse. The prior owners here [not new house] left tons of junk around and we’re required to get rid of it before we leave. Fortunately, bright and early tomorrow morning the trash is being hauled away. Later tomorrow we’re also going to be looking for a new car. After that point, we should be just about set, aside from getting jobs when we get there.

I promised myself I wouldn’t begin the Lunaescence.com redesign until after the move was complete, we were well settled in, and I had a job. I’ve never been good at waiting. ^^;; I made out a rough sketch for each section (Main, FanFiction, FanArt, Forums, etc.), suddenly I was in Paint Shop Pro forming the images, and then I was in Notepad laying the dumb thing out.

I don’t think I’ll ever get positioning in CSS, though…. For the index, I have two menus on either side of the page and then the main content between them. I got the menus placed beautifully, but then the center section wouldn’t work. When I got it to work it didn’t want to move up where it belonged vertically, but when I fixed that, it was no longer where I wanted it horizontally. :-P Frustrated, I gave up and made a set of nested tables that I nudged down where it belonged using CSS. Now that solution worked. A few more hours more work and the layout should be ready to put up… only to be benched until I finish moving, have internet connected, and settle in. XD
