Desk

Posted by Ami-chan on September 30, 2007

I forgot to mention. We have a new computer desk.

It’s not Bush furniture but it’ll do us nicely. Already it’s proving a lot sturdier than the old one, and everyone who comes over agrees it’s a lot more us. Look how well it matches the computer ^_~ (because that’s what’s important). Actually what I like [...]

 New blog, Old blog

Posted by Ami-chan on

Borrowed blog? Blue blog. Well, this one is blue, and it’s my old blog but I’m trying to come up with a new layout. I work with layouts after the fashion of finding something with a similar layout to what I would like, making a new design and tweaking as necessary with the code.
I found [...]

 I hate laundry

Posted by Ami-chan on

…but it’s one of those essentials that you have to do. The fun of having our own washer and dryer has worn off. Now it just means that the shirts, pants and underwear pile up in the laundry room instead of the bedroom.
I’ve had to do catch-up today though my friend gets here on Thursday [...]

 Self Portrait Sunday

Posted by Ami-chan on

It’s been a busy few days. I almost thought that even though I took the picture last night with intent to post it that I wasn’t going to make it for the Self Portrait Sunday this week, but we’ve got some chill time this evening so I’m catching up with things.

We were over at our [...]

 Out of town Visitors

Posted by Ami-chan on September 29, 2007

We’re going to be having a lot of those over the next week.
My friend is coming in on the 4th for a visit from England. The first time I’ve seen her since my husband and I got married, plus now also we’ll have a lot of relatives coming in from up north for my mother-in-law’s [...]

 Morning..

Posted by Ami-chan on

It’s strange in the house this morning. I feel as though things are echoing. My husband is still sleeping, but will have to be up soon to go to the funeral home with his father. I’m going up to check on my Mum and hang out with her for a little while. My step-father finally [...]

 Keeping Busy

Posted by Ami-chan on

Last night we were blessed for the company of several friends. Two of our friends watched the munchkin so that we could have a break, after he’d woken up from his afternoon nap he was in a foul mood and just kept crying and screaming inconsolably which had everyone’s nerves even more on edge. At [...]

 Bereavement

Posted by Ami-chan on September 28, 2007

My mother-in-law lost her battle with cancer this morning.
She was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, terminal, just before the munchkin was born and defied the odds which said she would probably only have nine months to a year at best and survived seventeen months.
She and my father-in-law just had their 40th wedding anniversary last [...]

 What I do

Posted by Ami-chan on September 27, 2007

I like to think that it’s not a secret that from time to time I get paid for blogging. I work now with about four different companies doing this, but Smorty is the newest one that I’ve joined up for.
I wish that I could earn all the money that I needed by doing things that [...]

 Chasing Byron

Posted by Ami-chan on

You may remember me mentioning before that a friend of mine is having a book published. I’ve written before about her struggle with cover choices.
Well, she has a cover now, and also she’s put together this very nifty video as a trailer for her book.

Check it out! I’m more and more excited to be able [...]
