~ Attitude ~

Oh yeah, I had a bit of one today.  I was up pretty late last evening with the idea that I could sleep in, no problem.   I was snug and warm in my bed when all of a sudden I heard a noise and I stirred in my bed to see my alarm clock showing about 4:40.  I heard the noise again and I jumped out of bed.  Thud, thud, thud.  I thought someone was knocking on the door.  I'm sure I cursed, but I was worried.  Who the hell?  What the hell?  I about ran down the hallway as I was trying to get my robe on.  Stumbling slightly as my foot got caught up in the tie as it was dragging on the floor.  By this time my head and heart were racing.  My thoughts immediately went to my son.  Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud..... what the hell!  It wasn't my door, there was no one there.  It was the dog upstairs, his tail banging off the hard wood floors.  Maybe in anticipation of his owner getting up so he could go out to do his thing, maybe his owner was playing with him, or maybe he was having a surprise party and he was excited to see the other dogs.  Regardless, it wasn't even 5 am and I'm now wide awake and pretty pissed.  Not at the dog, it's not his fault really and I'm sure his owners have no idea how loud it sounds in my house in the middle of a peaceful quiet night/morning.  After my heart stopped beating a mile a minute I went and climbed back into bed.  It probably was a good 30 minutes laying in bed before I was actually able to get back to sleep.  I got back up a couple hours later.

 

The day was pretty uneventful.  I did some cleaning around the house, a few loads of wash, and cleaned up some old files on the computer.  I had looked for a site that was in my favorites the other night only to find it was a dead link.  Grrrr something I hate more then anything, so while was in between loads I went through and cleared the dead ones out.  I checked on ones I hadn't been to in months, if not years, and since I hadn't been there I removed them too.  No doubt some day in the future I will be looking for one of them, but I was cluttered and unorganized.  I went to some of the tutorial sites I had used in the beginning of my graphic days and no sooner did I click on one my virus protection yelled with a warning.  I then spent a bit cleaning up my computer and was good, no viruses, thank goodness.  I am so glad it was caught before it could do any damage.  Needless to say, I've removed some of the tutorial sites too.  Technology these days and these computer jerks get some unknown pleasure causing havoc for others, and you can pick them up anywhere.  Are you protected?  Are you up to date?  It's not that expensive and well worth it.  Don't count on just AOL, they protect us from spam too.  LOL

 

I also had some fantasy/fairy attitude so I threw some graphics together as well.  I was pretty pleased with the effect on the 'dark moon open heart' one, it almost looks as though the rain is splashing in the water.  Or is it me?  Could be you know.... I think I imagine a bit when I work on the graphics and will myself to think it's something...........  I used a different effect on the water for the 'love isn't fairy', not sure exactly what I think of that, but overall I do like the finished graphic.  I was trying to get the effect of a cement type wall with a design etched in on the 'wall flower fairy', do you think I accomplished it?   Ohhh.. and do you notice the nose on the cat?  Can you see it moving?  To much?  I'm always afraid the blinking, movement, and glitter will look spastic and give someone a seizure.  It's a timing thing with the animation program as well as the number of frames.  Sometimes less is better.  Ya know?  Geeeeeeze did I ask enough questions?   I better just go to bed before I make your eyes bleed!  LOL

 

Hope everyone had a great Saturday and I wish you a good Sunday!
