Neighborhood Insanity

I am currently being driven insane by my neighbors insistence in cutting down a tree that we believe is on our property. In a way, I am grateful that they are cutting it down and not I, but I cannot stand the sound of the chainsaw that has invaded my airspace for the better part of the day.

I wish they would just CUT IT OUT!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Insurance Options

My mom and I spent 2 1/2 hours last night figuring out some choices I could make with my insurance. I have to decide what I'm going to choose by this Friday, and while initially I wanted to get LASIK eye surgery, I just can't afford it at the moment, however, I am going to finally get my wisdom teeth extracted.

This morning I called a dentist, not my dentist but after the conversation I had with the person on the phone, I want to make them my dentist. She suggested I put $450 into my Flexible Spending Account to cover my out-of-pocket expenses for the extraction. I don't know why, but I'm really excited about going to the dentist.

Script Frenzy

In a mere ten days, Script Frenzy will take place. Script Frenzy, organized by the same folks who do NaNoWriMo is a race to write a 20,000 word screenplay or stage play in 30 days. Of course I am partaking in this challenge, after successfully completing, for the first time, NaNoWriMo last year.

I have never in my life written a script, so this is all new to me. In addition to writing the script it must be correctly formatted, a rule that is not enforceable, but I imagine if it isn't formatted like a script, then it isn't necessarily a script.

Anyway, this is a great challenge and I am excited for the next 10 days to pass so I can get cracking.

A Long Time Coming

I realize it's been a few months since my last post, but there are good reasons. The first being, I was completely redesigning the blog and moving it over to WordPress, a task that proved more difficult than I first imagined. The redesign was going well, but then trying to introduce the WordPress elements required a high learning curve. Well, not so much placing the elements but rather making them mesh well with my design.

Next, my PC began acting up. So I was without my computer for a couple of weeks and had to work exclusively on my iBook. Fine, but it was not well equipped for my blog design because all my files were on the PC and I was only able to get a few on my webspace.

Finally I bought a new computer, this time sticking with the Mac format and bought my dream iMac with all the bells and whistles that came with it. I thought I would just pick up where I left off. Ultimately, I decided against that and so now, I am sticking with blogger and looking forward to getting back to my normal routine.
