and last thought - my rambling are few and far between but when I feel like blogging..wow you get it all at once...where have I been lately besides working so much I stressed myself to the point of where I got sick....I've been trying to learn about XML, Soap and PHP more in depth for website design/photo galleries/database design, etc. Now you'd think I probably got a pretty good handle on XML - yea sort of, its just another programming code to understand and thanks to Jake, I actually seen Soap and how it interacts with XML  and website database development. I have a new client that wants more than just a website design, they need a database, a forum, a blog and flash - you name it, they want it and its gotten me back into the stuff I love playing with and working on but its been so long since I've just had time to play with ideas, designs and time to just be a geek, that I'm kinda of in a learning curve trying to absorb it all at once and the flash code to work with XML photo galleries - sometimes its like looking a foreign language, I get it but then I don't get it and clients want changes now, not later when I figure it out but now! And then there's the client that wants me to create a brochure but they want the proof now - how do I tell them that doesn't happen overnight? Lately the only time I'm truly creative is when I'm exhausted probably because I'm so tired, I'm not overthinking it. So anyways, the PHP stuff, I've looked at it occasionally at other people's blogs but never really played with it and its fun. I just realized yep, I'm probably a geek...PHP, XML, and hand coding is fun :)

there are so many cute guys at The Crucible - not in any particular order but where do I disappear to once a week -  of course where the cute guys are and the fun classes, but cute artistic guys is definetly a bonus to taking classes at the Crucible...

there's the cowboy - his smile is contagious

there's the mig guy (since I'm not naming names here) - I like everything about him except that he doesn't answer his emails, although I have a feeling, actually I know he googled me, so he's probably found this blog and if he didn't have a gf, I'd definetly like to check out his world;

then there's the he-man guy, who wanted to help me lift my cabinet into my truck - my cabinet I made probably weighs about 50-60lbs and yea, the damn thing is heavy but I was kinda in my own world when he asked if I wanted help and I said I got it, he looked at me and said he was trying to be a he-man and help out the girl - so I was like ok - sure why not, if you want to put it in the truck that would be great.

and there's N, who is a sweetheart and called me jules - he's a keeper, not many people call me jules right away, tonight he asked me when I'd be back.

and there's the guy that said the way to his heart is through his stomach, funny but very cute and real plus he gave me a really cool tour of a really cool house (I have no idea what his name is)

but something beyond these guys being really cute, is that they are real, they smile, they talk and they love what they do and most of them remember your name.

i finally talked to Monica - yeah!! I miss her, I miss sharing just stuff and life. Anyways, she got me to thinking about this blog, I know I haven't been around much lately, life-work just got so busy that I barely had time to come up for air and that made me stressed out and probably depressed and then I got sick on top of it all - probably due to stress more than anything else. Thought I'd post what a week in my life lately looks like, this is my to do list this week and everytime I think I get a little ahead, someone sends me something else to do or a reminder to do something else and the list keeps getting longer and longer, even scheduling time for my class in the list, ugh... (and the house remodel, sort of got pushed to the side, actually its another long list)
