I recently heard the term “7 year itch” in regards to being in a relationship and it got me thinking.  I seem to be the opposite.  We are almost at our 7 year mark, and I feel inclined to shout out to the world more everyday that I love my man more and more every day.  Recently I have had feelings that are even stronger than ever before for him.  I didn’t know i could love him more, but in the last few weeks I’m feeling like I did when we started dating: Like i cant wait to see him every day after work, I think about him non stop and get that tingly feeling and funny smile when I do.  He’s my best friend, my confidant, basically everything to me, and i know I wouldnt be where I am today if it wasnt for him.  Sorry that this post is so cheesy or to mushy, but I just felt I needed to express in a larger manner, I love my man, I hope we last forevermore, because I couldnt imagine life without him.

Here’s an old photo that has been saved all these years from our first few months together…

So I’m actually ready for work early again (its rather shocking!) so I thought I’d do some quick posting.

Well I did get my photoshop back up and running.  This means that I will be spending some time re learning design so i can remake my website here once my hosting and such goes out the window!  Does anyone know if this wordpress thingyu im using has a way to back up posts without needing access to the FTP of the site?  Anyone?  Well if you do let me know…cuz it would suck to loose it all.

Having Photoshop again also means i get to work on my pop art series I have started - I call it “Ally Warhol series”.  I think I have atleast 20 photos in it so far, but not all of them are as good.   It is a lot of fun to play with photos and colors in such a way.  I can easily spend 9 hours in a day just playing with my pop art in photoshop without stoppping.  I hope, when i start to work on my new design, to add a place just for my art - other than just photos…

Just a quick warning…This website may go down for a couple months, or may change at any time.  Having to sort out my domain renewal (its under my old boss’ name right now) and future hosting.  Hopefully he will let it stay on his server till the domain expires, but he may not.  Until then I’m not sure what to do.  Do i keep posting till it does down, and loose everything since i cant seem to back anything up?  Or put it all on hold and spend some time re learning website and blog design for when its all sorted out and back in my hands?  Not sure…I guess we’ll have to see…

I still havent gotten used to having to give myself a needle.  I have been on Enbrel for Arthritis for over a year now, and i still forget when its the time to do it.  I will have to remember tonight.

It is still strange to actually go through the motions of giving myself a needle too.  It is easy and fast to prepare now, but it still takes atleast 5 - 10 minutes to actually push the needle in to my leg, or stomach.

Hopefully they will find a better way some day.  Needles arent scary, but they arent fun either.

   

I do lov emy job, and i love all the girls and Doctors that i work with.  But i cant wait for this week to be over!  My legs are aching and tired and i dont think i could make it through another day, good thing today is my friday.  Tomorrow plans?  Dick all!  I’m going to take a much needed day of rest.  Of course i will tidy up the house as is my ritual most weekends, but maybe i’ll do some Yoga and watch a movie or two with lots of popcorn!

As for today, I’m off to work again.  We are going to try and get everything really organized so when everyone is back form Jamaica, they will be surprised to see that we 3 that were left behind took care of pretty much everything and smoothly, too!  Hopefully they will be surprised.  C and E (my co workers today) and I are going to order a pizza for lunch today at work, cuz we deserve it after working so hard all week.  Can anyone say “PIZZA PARTY!!!”.  I havent had one of those since highschool!!!
Time to feed the kitties their breakfast and head out to the  bus.

But i was going through my pictures from 2008 (mostly of the cats) and I thought i would post a couple that are some of my favorites.

First off…from June 6 ‘08:  This is not photoshopped! This is how i got the picture…Im not even sure which one of my cats this is, but its pretty funny….March 21 ‘08 : Next - Girberbob is hanging out..March 28 ‘08: Then Me and Girber decided to hang out together:August 8 ‘08: And finally, Vala Mal Doran says to leave her box alone!

I have a lot more photos from 2008, but those are some of my favorites.  But i could easily post 100 photos that are my favs…..

As I mentioned earlier, most of the ladies i work with have been in Jamaica for the last week.  Lucky for those of us who arent in Jamaica, we got some unusual End-Of-February Snow falling.  I’m saying this in a sarcastic tone in my voice.  If you know me, I’m not one to hate snow, and i love watching it fall, but at this point in the year I’m craving some good sun time.  Plus, It doesnt help that last time it snowed, in December, I slipped on ice and fell on my hip, which has been tender ever since.

Well this is where I was this morning, with my coffee waiting for the bus to work, dreaming of being in Jamaica…..

So I have been posting videos on Youtube these days. there are a few up. Most of them are me playing music, but this latest one is of the cats, so i thought it appropriate to post it here. My boyfriend shot the video, and I added the music to it.

you can find it here: Cleaning time for baby - cat video

You can find all my Youtube Videos to date here: Vicious Ally Videos

So I have been inspired by some friends and their photo blogs, and a few people have said, “Why dont you write in your blog anymore?”

So I’m going to.  I will have to make sure that I renew my domain name so no one can steal it.  I decided to try the photo blog thing as well.  Or maybe i’ll just write some random stuff…we’ll see what happens.

Lately times have been tough, but i feel that if i can just coast along eventually things will get awesome again.  Some days it is hard to feel like myself, but i seem to be perking up a little bit as i keep taking my Maltlevol from my mum (mmmmm, Vitamins and sherry….starting to taste good).  Surprisingly, even though times are tough for us, My Man has never been Happier!  I’m so proud of him.  He’s lost atleast 25 pounds doing “The Biggest Loser” at work, and he’s eating better and excersizing every day.  He looks great!  Better than I have ever seen him (although I’m biased and i always think he’s looking good) and he’s smiling and everything.  Its a very good thing.  Maybe soon he will let me get some pictures of us taken….

Well I best be off, I have to make it to the general store before the bus as I ran out of bus tickets last night. Only a few more days till the ladies are back from Jamaica….but thats another story!

Ok so anyone watch the show Intervention? Normally i am all for it. I dont watch the show reguilarily, but they do good work with people addicted to crack an dheroin, etc….HOWEVER! Last night they had an episode about Brooke who has had Arthritis since highshcool and takes lots of pain meds to manage it. The portrayed her as a massive addict, they portrayed her as being worse than a crack addict.

SHE DID NOT CHOOSE TO HAVE ARTHRITIS! I KNOW CUZ I AM THE SAME! Read the rest of this entry »
