A soon Goodbye....

Rei — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:00:14 GMT

Hey all, got notice that my trial account is almost up :( that all of us forgot about. Since I'm a starving student this is going to be a goodbye until I get funds to join. It'll be weird for sure not being able to log in everyday like I'm use to. I don't know what day is my last day, waiting to hear back on that. So if you have other methods to keep in touch that you'd like to use let me know. :)

Edit: Tonight is my last night. So here's my myspace: www.myspace.com/traumhersteller

I'll be blond at the end of the month. :D

Money

Rei — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 23:09:33 GMT

I need to figure out how to make more money each month. Basically I'm spending more then I'm making if I count in all bills, rent, these horrible gas prices (which I believe is the main reason for all of this), and food (I've even gone to bringing my lunch in - Salads). I don't qualify for Student Aid because I've taken too many units at school. Stupid unit cap. >.<

Bad Dreams and No Comfort.

Rei — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:48:16 GMT

I hate having dreams where my guy leaves me or cheats on me. It really bothers me all day. They say that if you dream it, he's not doing it. I've heard of other women having these dreams. I wish they would stop. I have no comfort even from him when it happens. He's currently lacking in the showing me that he loves me department. We've been married for 4 years so I know that it happens, but it's still tough at times. I hate being female sometimes, stupid emotions.

I just made a shit load of banners. Now I need to save them and upload them. :)

EDIT: Okay submitted a bunch of them, not all just my favorites. Hope I didn't do any too similar to others. I know two of the ones I made of Raia were already made. :(

Here's my top 5...

I'm getting another tattoo on the 21st. Yeah my ink slinger is SO freaking booked up. I would be able to get in sooner if our hours didn't conflict so much.

Kittys and such

Rei — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:30:36 GMT

So do you remember this photo of Socrates:

That was her in her little box. Now take a look at what she's done to it. I've never seen a cat do this.

In other news, finally got around to putting these photos on my computer.

It's a shame I missed him coming out into either a butterfly or moth. I saw him the day before he made the cocoon. I thought he was dying because he was just hanging there swaying in the wind. To my surprise the next day was this cool ass cocoon. Look at the spikes! So rad!

Oh and I have this cat tree that has a hammock. Both the boy and I thought for sure we'd never see a cat use it. Seriously didn't think they would even like it. But behold! The biggest one of our kitties:

I present you Rancid in kitty hammock!

I'm missing something in my life and I don't know what it is.

Another journal before bed.

Rei — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:22:16 GMT

I think this week I may play with making some banners. I have a week break before summer semester starts and sucks up all my time. (M-Th classes 6pm-10pm)

This Thursday I have a sushi date with the beautiful JaneJett!!!!!

I gots the luck. Neener Neener. :)

My cats are better then your cats...

Rei — Sat, 31 May 2008 02:34:24 GMT

Why?

Because they will eat spinach!

And I'm not talking about chewing on it and making me clean it up later. They will eat the whole leaf!

I want Wii Fit but it's sold out online almost everywhere and amazon.com has it for a hell of an expensive price. :(

Chai-Spiced Bread

Rei — Fri, 30 May 2008 03:13:32 GMT

Bread

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1/2 cup prepared tea or water ( I used Vanilla Chai Tea)
- 1/3 cut milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups All purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom ( I didn't have any so I used Allspice I think)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Glaze (I actually didn't make this since I wanted this to be a breakfast bread)

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 to 5 teaspoons milk
- Additional ground cinnamon, use as much or little as you like

To Make

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease bottom only of 8x4 - or 9x5 inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray. (I used a square glass baking dish and it came out fine)

2. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. On low speed, beat in tea, 1/3 cup milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla and the eggs until ingredients are well combined (will appear curdled). Stir in remaining bread ingredients just until moistened. Spread in pan.

3. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (do not underbake). Cool in pan on cooling rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes.

4. In small bowl, stir powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 3 teaspoons of the milk, adding more milk by teaspoonfuls, until spreadable. Spread glaze over bread. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

High Altitude (3500-6500 Feet): Decrease baking powder to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes.

Good to serve as a snack or dessert with fresh fruit and tea.

I will try to remember to post the Chai Spiced Bread recipe tonight when I get home from work.

Here is something I think RPG will find amusing. This morning right before I left for work, I discovered I had cat puke in my purse. Needless to say, I was late to work.

Also does anyone else have this happen to them? Sometimes when I'm typing a journal or a comment and I hit the ' key, it randomly takes me to "quick find." Now it doesn't happen all the time and that's what's weird about it. I know I'm not hitting any other keys when I hit that, but I also don't think that's a shortcut for quick find, I always just use ctrl F, though that's not a quick find, just a find.

I need to call my school. I have an appointment to meet with a counselor, but the one they assigned me to is very unhelpful and I'm afraid to meet with her again.

I have a friend who's applied for the evil pink site and been excepted. I don't know if she's done anything for them but everyone should tell her to ditch the pink and go purple!

Last night we went out to a crowded place (that part was lame) but met up with my guy with my guy's best friend, his wife, her best friend, and another friend of my guys. We went to a place called Dave and Buster's which is an adult arcade type thing. They have bars, food, and lots of arcade games! It was a ton of fun.

These mood swings I'm having, suck. I wish things were good again. I can't tell with him. :(

Insert a title of anger here.

Rei — Fri, 16 May 2008 18:57:53 GMT

Today is the day that I am super cranky! Mainly because I've been extremely irritated all day by what seems to be everyone. I really do mean so far EVERYONE that I've talked to or seen today. I feel like I want to just scream at people and tell them to shut the hell up. I want to tell the spoiled brats that they are spoiled and can't get things their way when they couldn't do what we asked them to do earlier in the freaking week. I want to scream at my guy that I need him to show me that he cares a bit more. I want to scream at my bosses to do a good job and if you're going to do anything do it right! I want to scream at people on the phone that I'm not being rude, you're just a freaking idiot.

*sigh*

I guess the typing is my screaming. I'm missing my creative output.

Clothes Clothes and more Clothes

Rei — Thu, 08 May 2008 04:32:39 GMT

Since I've grown in size a lot of my clothes don't fit me and I've also gone out of a certain style. I want to sell the nicer stuff in just a sorta grab bag style basically all the clothes for a set price. I'd like $200.00 (Or Best Offer) which would include shipping for everything. I have some pictures of the items below. The size is Small. Basically at the time I was wearing these clothes I was a 1-3 in pant size and small in top. That's the best I can offer you for the size.

Pictures!

This is everything (clothes not stuffed devil)

This shirt was worn once for a photo shoot. The flash kills the color but it's still a deep black.

How do you add titles to photos in your photo section?

So I took a photo from Raia and had fun with digital alteration. I think I like my second on the best and that's the one with the black background. :)

EDIT: Since I didn't have this information when I posted these. Original photo of Raia and ropework done by Lifestyle Images - www.lifestyleimages.org .
