Won’t Be Using This…

Deeva — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 01:57:12 +0000

I won’t be using this blog anymore – as I’ve set a blogger up. I can’t delete this blog because I have so many things here that I’ve imported from my old LiveJournal account, and I don’t want to lose those entries.

If you’re interested, you can check out my NEW blog HERE.

That is all,

BORED!!

Deeva — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 02:18:18 +0000

Yes, I’m severely bored – is that even possible? I guess it is, because that’s what I am… I’ve done a lot today too – made a new personal Twitter, worked on my crochet project, read… well, I that’s not a LOT I know, but it’s not like I’ve just been sitting around twiddling my thumbs.

I love it here – but I hate ONE thing – not having a car. And NO car in the future either – unless I win some kind of serious jackpot – and that’s not possible at the moment because I’m not in any kind of contests, lol. Maybe someone will come along and drop a few thousand on my doorstep – HA! – like that’s ever going to happen.

I’m not complaining, really, just venting. Sometimes you have to get the negativity off your chest or you will explode. So I’m done. Thanks for listening.

Damn Cat

This is the SECOND time that the cat spilled water – but this time it was more water, and I wasn’t in the room for the few seconds it took for the full glass to soak into my bed. Lovely. And since I only have ONE set of sheets at this time – I have to let it dry out before I can use the bed again. Needless to say, I’ve been up all night and it’s not even close to being dry – I can only hope that it’s dry by the time I go to bed TONIGHT – or it’s sofa city for me. Not a great thought considering that the sofa is a love-seat, and I’m too tall for it…

Satellite next month, hopefully – that’s the plan… didn’t really WANT satellite, but in this town your choices are very limited – so I guess I’ll take what I can get.

Late Night w/Friends

Deeva — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 02:15:14 +0000

Stayed over at Deb’s last night – haven’t done that in awhile, and it was fun. First Bruce made bacon & cheese hot dogs (yummmmm), and then Deb and I checked out the puppies. SO CUTE!!! The littlest one, which she calls “Runt”, I actually named “Cuddles” – cause when you hold him, that’s what he does, he cuddles with you. It was adorable.

Then we sat down to do some crochet work, and watched old Carol Burnett shows on DVD. Very relaxing, very funny – just a really nice night.

The unfortunate thing is that I woke up hella early - probably because I wasn’t sleeping in my own bed… I mean, we were up until 2am, so you would think I could sleep past 7am – but no, lol. It’s okay though – I didn’t mind.

Beautiful day today – wondering when Spring is going to take hold of Ely, instead of teasing us, lol…

Taking Life as it Comes

Deeva — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:36:11 +0000

Okay, it’s not that the cable isn’t available in my exact area of Ely – it’s two things; one, they took my money IMMEDIATELY and it’s going to take 3-5 business days to get it back. And two, they should have known BEFORE I was even charged that they wouldn’t be able to do the job here. Is it any wonder that I contacted the BBB about them this morning? Talk about bad business practices.

So, no cable – and I’m totally broke for the next 3 to 5 business days.

Never, NEVER, do business with CentraCom cable.

One more lovely issue – all the pipes are backed up in my bathroom. Yes, that means the toilet too. Why do they always want to blame you? They even had the nerve to ask me if I had flushed a wash cloth – I kid you not. Needless to say, no wash cloths were flushed… waiting for them to come back and scratch their heads some more.

All of this, and I’m actually doing okay – go figure.

Eostre – and Puppies…

Deeva — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:40:00 +0000

Had a really good day at Deb’s yesterday. Ate a great meal – ham, baked potatoes, corn, buttery biscuits, and banana cream pie for desert (no chocolate dammit!!) – then vegged out and watch television all day.

Jenna (Deb’s Husky) was in her birthing pen all day as well – waiting… every hour or so, one of us would get up to check on her to see how she was doing, or to let her out to use the bathroom. But, she didn’t have her puppies until this morning – so I missed it. 3 girls and 2 boys – and unfortunately the picture that I was sent over the phone was a little blurry. Hopefully I’ll see the babies tomorrow and get a better shot of them. If they look anything like the litter before, I’m sure they’re adorable.

Anyway, so I had a great day yesterday. It was nice to just relax and not do anything, lol.

Today, hopefully, cable will be hooked up and running.

Is it any wonder I’m in a fantastic mood?

So Far…

Deeva — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 00:05:00 +0000

Well, I didn’t fix the color issue after all – and now my CD drive isn’t reading – so I’m working on getting a website job so I can buy a new computer… and what else is going on?

Ely is an interesting little town. I’ve met a few people, and they’ve been pretty nice. The weather has been back and forth – right now it’s really windy, yet pretty warm – we’re actually supposed to be getting more snow/rain this week, but we’ll see. I love my trailer! I love having my own little house where I do what I want, when I want, and I don’t have to worry about upsetting anyone… it’s so nice. I do so much better on my own… Debbie has been taking her horse out to do ground work with him – soon we’ll be able to get in the saddle and ride (not together of course, lol) – and I’m really looking forward to that. Been doing a lot of crochet work too – and that’s kind of fun. Getting my cable FINALLY in the next two weeks – can’t even begin to describe what it’s been like with no TV… can’t wait for that.

I can’t lie – I DO miss a few people – but I’m happy just the same. Maybe a trip somewhere soon to visit…

And that’s about it – fast update!

I Did It (I Think)

Deeva — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 07:28:28 +0000

I had a feeling that the problem I was having with my color on my computer had something to do with the tower being shifted around quite a bit while getting the internet set up… soooooo… tonight I opened the tower and made sure everything was plugged in tightly. Imagine my surprise, and delight, when I started up the computer and it showed all the beautiful colors it was supposed to. Yay!

I am not a mechanic in any sense of the word – so you can be sure I am happy that this worked and I don’t have to go out and purchase another graphics card with money that isn’t there – yikes.

So, my computer is back in decent working order – and I’m happy as a clam (what does that mean anyway? how happy ARE clams?)…

Yeah

Gonna promote this where-ever I can.

Christy’s Interview in CT

You go girl.

Elko, NV

Deeva — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:34:11 +0000

Left the house this morning at 6am, to make the drive into Elko, NV… where there is a Wal-Mart. Why Wal-Mart? It’s because I KNEW I’d be able to find a decent pay as you go phone. And I did. A T-Mobile Complete package which included a camera phone and one month of free service. 1,000 anytime minutes (free nights & weekends), and unlimited messaging (including text, picture & IM) for only $50.00 a month. Yup. Same as my Metro PCS. So, a cheaper deal – and one that I know I won’t have a problem with. I’ve been with T-Mobile before and I never had a complaint (except when I had low service at a friend’s apartment in Hollywood, lol)…

Elko itself was interesting. Why TWO Burger Kings when we don’t even have ONE??? Who knows, lol… but it was a good day – nice to get out of Ely for a bit. Think we should do it more often.
