Never thought of it

June 19th, 2007

So after working in pharmacy for 12+ years, I found myself in a discussion I can honestly say I’ve never heard of, much less talked about.

One of my co-workers said he will not let his wife swallow (yes, you know what I mean) because she is still breast feeding.  He couldn’t bare the thought of his offspring ingesting his little men.  He is aware that this probably wouldn’t be the case, but he didn’t want to take any chances.

This story is much more funny to hear my co-worker tell it, he has so much enthusiasm behind his stories.

The Little Monster

June 11th, 2007

The part of my life I didn’t catch you up on was my step son Gage. No, Mitchell and I aren’t married so he isn’t “officially” my step son, but for all intended purposes, he’s my step son.

Gage turned two at the end of March and he’s growing up way too fast. This child has won my heart over. He does and says the cutest things. When he is “in trouble” (yeah right) we have a talk. I sit him in my lap and make him look at me and tell him what he did wrong and why he shouldn’t do it again. I know, he’s only two and probably doesn’t understand what I’m saying, but I was raised this way and it seemed to work. Well, this is fine and dandy until this weekend he covers his ears during our “talk”. How am I supposed to get on to him when I’m laughing as hard as I was? Yeah, I spoil him rotten. He’s just too cute not to!

I must add that Mitchell and I are so very lucky to have the relationship with his mother that we have. She is so great about letting us have Gage other than our every other weekend rotation. In return, if she needs us to watch him, we try our best to make arrangements to accommodate her. She really is a nice lady. She and Mitchell do not hate each other, they are able to communicate and put Gage first. She and I also get along great. Not many people can have this relationship with their ex-wife. Her boyfriend is also very sweet and Gage seems to love him to death. Gage seems to be a lucky fella to have so many people love him as much as they do.

Mitchell and Gage

Here is a picture of Mitchell and Gage on his second birthday. He’s already turning into a super geek :)

Gage and Logan

This is my niece Logan being pushed in the swing by Gage. Logan is turning two in just a few weeks.

They just grow up way too fast!

WP Themes

June 11th, 2007

These themes work with WordPress 1.5 and below. They have not been tested with the newer versions of WordPress. I no longer offer support on these themes. Hopefully soon I’ll have time to update these bad boys and get them all kinds of widgetized and stuff.

It looks like the Gemini Themes have been updated. Gemini Plus

What you can see

June 10th, 2007

I ended my last blog with the post, What you can’t see. I thought it was appropriate to start this post with what you CAN see.

The first thing you might see is my old posts are gone. You can see old posts by visiting geeksmakemehot.com/wordpress/. There are many reasons why I decided on just starting a new blog. The first is I am a total different person than I was a year ago. A lot has happened in my personal life and professional life.

Mitchell and I have been together going on a year now. Life is better now than ever. I always questioned if there was such a thing as a soul mate. I no longer question this. To meet someone who you can share you life with, your dreams with, your fears with and love them more and more each day is amazing. I am glad I found that one person. We might not share the same tastes in music, movies and camping, but we share the same dreams and goals in life. He makes me truly happy. This happiness is what I had been looking for.

I’ve also disconnected from most of my “Internet” friends I met using WordPress. This has been the sad part of the last year. But, during this time, I’ve been able to reconnect with old friends I have not seen in almost 10 years and make a ton of new friends. I actually have a social life that does not include a keyboard. One thing I do know, I need to find a balance between my Internet friends and real friends.

The newest change in my life is my new job. I am no longer a pill pusher. I am now the Content Developer for a company here in Jonesboro [edit: I removed the name of my employeer because I was already showing up #2 when you googled their name.  My clients don't need all up in my business heh]. I would describe the company as a content management system for businesses. It was written by Chris Griffin back in 1996 and continues to grow to keep up with the latest demands of the users. As content developer, I simply add and style the content into the site. I’m given a template to use and go from there. I started a week ago and love it! There are 10 people in the office, I’m one of two girls. Working with nerdy boys is great. The environment is so laid back and simple. I don’t walk into drama.

So I’m starting the new blog for the new life. I’ll get the time to design the site up soon.
