Occasional notes from a web nerd

  • Stormy weather

    I went home for the memorial day weekend. It was a last minute decision spurred by the fact that Hailey was being christened and I would be the worst auntie in the world if I didn’t pay the 61 dollars round trip for the first Greyhound home.

    The ceremony (my first) lasted all of 20 minutes. The actual moment of truth was obscured by the priest standing in my line of sight. The object of all the attention slept through the entire event, apparently un phased by her brush with eternal damnation. That’s my monkey girl.

  • Validate me baby

    Yay, I finally finished the site to a point where it makes sense for people to see it. Sparklit is going to be the weblog from now on or until I get tired. I’m still working on Brainsmack (the favorites and possibly other things manager) but I felt guilty babbling over there.

  • Fear my whimsy

    I need a redesign. I don’t have enough content to justify a liquid layout and my measly thoughts don’t look so measly in a smaller space. So until I redesign this page, kindly minimize your browsers to about 640 pixels. 😀

  • And now for something completely different…

    well… vacation was lovely. My family rocks… I got back tuesday and the trip was delightfully uneventful.

    While I was gone, my co-worker friends were busy. Jordan went and made himself a blog (I knew he couldn’t resist long) and he and Shroud are now my virtual neighbors at 1 and 1 hosting Oh and sedotn moved to a real host.

  • Monkey Girl

    Hailey Elizabeth, my beautiful lil monkey girlToday at 1:25am (CST) I had the pleasure (mixed with a healthy dose of exhaustion and a slight tinge of nausea) of welcoming my niece into the world.

    Her parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles are all fine and relieved since the child has been coming for 2 days (it seems). Stubborn… just like both of her parents. Her name is Hailey Elizabeth (7lbs 14oz and 19inches) and from here on out she will be my little monkey girl… at least until she gets old enough to be self concious. Congratulate me… I’m an auntie. Pictures will appear soon as if by magic…
