FAQ’s

So I volunteered to work a Saturday right in the middle of my 4 day long weekend. Briliant huh? It’s not too bad though. I got Friday off. Work Saturday and then get Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off (Tuesday was my consilation for working Saturday).

It’s all good though. It gives me time to both work on my website and also get some more work done on the FAQ’s for work. I have to go through page by page, and there is a lot of pages and create FAQ’s relevant to that page.  We are an Euto-responder and Email Marketing company so that means baiscally page by page of FAQ’s on all of the things that you can do or issues you may have questions about on the features of you account. Boring eh? Actually not really. I am learning a lot.

More then I ever needed or wanted to know about spam and auto-responders. But at least this way in my own stuff I can be more aware of what I am doing. And I will never have to look for a question in our FAQ’s again… since I wrote them lol. So in the long run. It’s been a pretty fun project. Even if the “no hurries”, “no worries” thingy kinda fell through and the deadlinelessness because deadlined it is still worth it.

In other news. I can’t wait to go to Mom and Dad’s tonight. Keith and I are going for supper and staying the night. We went over to his brothers place yesterday and spent a few hours watching movies and talking.  It’s going to be a nice and relaxing weekend overall. I’m going to enjoy it and bring along my camera and maybe convince him to go for a drive into Lunenburg or mahone Bay or somewhere.

Does anyone know how to make my comment plugger plugin as:

I finished and uploaded a new theme today. I am really really happy with it! And purple is my favorite color.  I was just playing around with things and didn’t really plan on changing my theme but once I got going I couldn’t stop. I am going to clean up the previous theme and put it up for people to download in the content section. It’s not the greatest theme but it is simple and pretty easy to customize. I am wondering how you can set up a WordPress test site though that when someone clicks on “Demo” it will show them a live demo of the theme and that they can change to other themes for download from. If anyone knows how to do it or can point me towards a tutorial that would be awesome (*) . I also want to create a list (ordered) in my sidebar and other then using a text widget does anyone know of a list widget?


Don’t try this at home…

Anyone who knows me well, knows I can’t cook worth crap. I am one of those people who can burn a pot of water when I put it on to boil. I forget things. I forget I am cooking and that the pot of water that I put on to boil about 10 min ago is now boiled dry and the pot is turning brown. So what made me think that I could try and make french toast?

A misguided idea that since I watched someone do it and it looked easy enough that even I could do it, that maybe just maybe I could do it. Boy was I ever wrong! Cooking and me just don’t mix. After my second try. The first one I burned bad enough you could not tell it was bread soaked in eggs and cinnamon. The second try just kept falling apart on me. I swear french toast is evil!

So I decided to give it one last shot. And this time it seemed to be going good. Nice and brown on the outside and really smelling and looking like french toast. So I put it on my plate and I loaded it down with some syrup. Not too much, just enough! And I bit into it. And guess what? I bit into a pocket of uncooked egg! Yuck. It was all I could do to keep it down. I was gagging all the way to the washroom…

The moral of this story folks? If you can’t cook, don’t! All I got out of it was a seriously upset stomach and the urge to throw up. I guess April fools is on me. Didn’t even need any help on this one. Seriously though. At least I tried right? Your supposed to learn from your mistakes. I did. I wont ever try and make french toast on my own again.


Easter Weekend

I’m getting really lazy on the blogging thing… not good.

It looks like I am going to end up working on Saturday. I took the day for extra money. Brian usually does Saturdays but he had other plans. We were originally under the impression that we got Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. But because our major competitor is open Saturday we are too. So I “volunteered” to work it. I could use the extra money anyways I suppose. Every little bit helps when you need it. I will have to drive in on Saturday morning from my parents. It’s a bit of a drive but that’s okay. Keith wants to go to my parents for the weekend. He wants to do Easter – Adam style – LOL. Whatever that means.

This is a bunch of random unrelated stuff and I apologize for that. I will try and blog about more interesting stuff soon enough. I have my hands full at work right now trying to do my regular job as well as re-write all the FAQ’s for the website. At least I am not alone. There is 2 of us doing it. So we are trying to collaborate as best as we can. Which is hard to do when you are doing something that is easier to do alone. Even if it is a rather large job…


Heritage Trails

Okay so I am proud of myself. I got up this morning and decided to go for a walk about 10. I drove over to Cole Harbour and went for a walk on the Heritage Trails. I stuck by the farms and woods but ended up down by the water a bit. I got some pictures though nothing really spectacular. I’ll add a few at the end of this post. But all in all I walked about 2 hours (1 hour each way) I think it worked out to about 10km or more. I was trying to figure it out later cause I did not look at the km markers along the way. I guess I should have.

I then went to meet my parents at the QEII Lifestyle Lottery Show Home. They bought a ticket for $100. On Wednesday I think Keith and I are gonna go splits on one too since the grand prizes are really nice and it goes to a good cause. The Grand Prize is a $900,000 home in Glen Arbour and $15,000 Cash. The Second Grand Prize is a $390,000 cottage, a Boat and $5000 cash. Plus tons of early bird prizes. So if your from around here check it out. Not that you probably don’t already know about it. Who doesn’t!
