This weekend Jamie took us to the boondocks… His friend’s parent’s home out in the mountainside. It was pretty relaxing and refreshing, despite the mosquito bites I’ve gotten. That late Sunday night after everyone went to bed, Jamie and I took the boat out in the middle of the lake to look up at the stars… It was breathtaking. The sky was clear and black as ink, we can see part of the Milky Way and also caught a quick glimpse of a shooting star. I felt like we were the only two people in the galaxy. It was a very romantic night.

On another exciting news, I got a new web designing gig for my favorite cafe/coffee joint! I’m actually very excited about it and can’t wait for the finished result. Also, I forgot to mention a new website I finished about a month ago… First website I’ve developed and (re)designed in years (not counting my honey’s website). So check out www.erinschlichtingcpa.com.

And now on a frustrating note, I’m really tired of websites making me look really bad or suspicious, especially with the way things have been. I’m serious. It’s so frustrating when you have no explanation of why it happened. Facebook has done that to me couple times. Oh well…

Current Mood: Sad

Time has been difficult. I’ve been out and about for a new job, which is destination nowhere at the moment. I’m either overqualified or under. I don’t know. It sucks so bad, but I’m still determined. So frustrating, I think I feel down about it a little more than I should be.

In the relationship department… it’s at a place where I don’t want it to be.

I don’t know where or how to begin, but feeling shameful is all I have felt in the past month. I came to this side of the country with a breath of fresh air, start a new life, and be with the one I truly love. I have no other reasons. All I have done was make his heart more and more fragile. I am so not perfect. I’ve never lived a perfect life. All I wanted was to have a wonderful life. And when I found it with an even wonderful man, my Jamie, my imperfections tore us apart. I’ve messed up.

I want to believe we can make it because I want it to work so bad.

I am not ready to let go.

Happy first birthday to my sweet little angel.

And if that wasn’t exciting enough, it’s also my youngest nephew’s 12th birthday… BITCHIN’!

I haven’t designed much websites in the last couple years. Because of that, I almost forget how to structure a simple webpage layout. How sad that is. Recently, I’ve taken up a new project which I’m pretty excited about. It’s not a huge or cutting edge project, but it has given me the chance to get my creative juices flowing again. Sometimes I forget how much I love building a website from the ground up; coming up with the initial design and putting everything together. And when something goes wrong (something ALWAYS go wrong!), pinpointing that one small fucking error is sometimes pretty challenging. The weird side of me likes that challenge. It has inspired me to finally redesign this site as well. I have pretty cool ideas!

Aside from that, in 4 short days my Maiya turns 1. What an amazing year it has been. She has turned my world that much more beautiful.

Oh… I realize it’s been months since I’ve uploaded any pics to my flickr. So just to keep things somewhat fresh and up to date, I added a couple new pics of 2 of my babies.

Current Mood: Tired

From this week on, it’s nothing but a series of tests, oral presentation, book review, and essays. I need to kick ass and I need a vacation.
