Been a long time...

Well, with The-Geek at the mercy of hackers, and my being "ordered" not to visit the site till the issue is resolved, I find myself with quite a bit of extra free time on my hands. So yep, that means Mr. Journal may be seeing alot more of me, at least for a little while.

I've been spending the time I usually use monitoring The-Geek, honing my Paint Shop Pro skills. I really love the fact that hubby discovered JaKoolDesigns and introduced me to it. I've not really been inspired creatively in such a long time, I had almost forgot how fun it was to make things and see the appreciation of others enjoying what I made. I've even started making tutorials to help others in getting started in making forum signatures. I've been thinking about setting up a personal webpage to showcase some of mine and hubby's work, but I've yet to be inspired on how to actually design the site, so until that lightbulb goes off, that'll be a "some day" project.

I'm still really active on Neopets. Hard to believe I've been there for nearly 2 years now. It's a great stress reliever though (like so many of my online activities) and alot of fun. One of my favourite things to do is the Random Contest. I like to use them as "rainy day" projects for me and my son. Like the latest one, where we had to build Neopet themed bird feeders. My son helped me build (or rather I helped him) a foot tall blue meepit with a hole in its belly (to hold the food). We had a blast! We actually won 3rd place in the contest too, which was the icing on the cake.

Another thing I've started is a daily exercise routine. Nothing major (I simply couldn't handle anything too strenuous), but it's a start. I'm nothing gigantic, but I'm no skinny minny either. What bothers me the most is I'm noticing that as I'm getting older, I'm starting to have those "old lady arms", you know...the kind that when you raise them, they sag and flap in the wind when you wave. It's embarrassing to me, even if no one else has said anything to me about it.

Anyway, just a few tidbits of my life at them moment.
