I know it’s only June but I’m someone who likes to plan ahead. With my recent weight loss I’m more comfortable with my body, so much so that I’m actually dressing better. I don’t need to wear oversized shirts to feel comfortable, I can now wear more fitting clothing. I do still have a long way to go in order to reach my final goal of 150lbs, I have about 50 pounds to go with that one, so of course I’m not dressing like a hooker or anything but I’m certainly fitting myself with better clothing.

So where am I going with this? By the time October rolls around I hope to have lost another 20 pounds, figure five pounds a month for the next four months - that’s how it (in theory) should even out. I’m looking around for Halloween costumes. Yes, again it’s very early in the year but with the way things go in America, by this time next month the Christmas items are going to be out in most department stores. So at least I’m mentioning the fact that there are a few important holidays before then - you know?

Sean wants me to look into the adult costumes, some of them are pretty risque so I’m not sure if I’d actually take it that far, but I will admit that some of them are pretty cute. At the same time, however, we’re not sure of where we’re going this year so there’s no real way of knowing if dressing up will even be worth it. I don’t look at costumes for just Halloween though, however that’s private business so I’ll leave it at that. I have to say, I rather like the school-girl outfit, but what man doesn’t like to see that on his significant other - you know? They have a Paris Hilton knock-off, but I think all you’d have to do to dress like her is go into the juniors department and find a skirt that just barely covers your butt - that’s just my humble opinion of course.

Either way I hope to reach another 20 pounds-lost goal so I can buy myself one of these costumes. Maybe I’ll get lucky and there will be a coupon code or something so I can save even more money.

I’m still waiting patiently for all of the hosting to be moved over.  My personal stuff is moved to the new data center, the clients have proven to take a lot longer.  I’m not sure why it’s taking so long, I was told 3-5 days and it’s pushing more along the lines of 8 days.  Hopefully everything will be resolved soon, I’m being charged double for hosting this month because of still having the initial accounts with the old data center.  I just hope everything will resolve itself before I head up to NY next week.

Come Tuesday (24) I’m loading up the car, throwing Sean in the passenger seat and trucking it up to Long Island for a few days.  Dad’s birthday is on the 26th, my sisters is on the 29th and there’s quite a bit of family that I haven’t visited in over a year so I figure the trip up will give me an excuse to do that.  I’m driving the first half while Sean and Bella sleep in the car, then the second half he’ll take over and I’ll have Bella on my lap.

I bought my father a BBQ and a lot of accessories to go with it.  I’ve loaded my sister up with a huge gift basket and the rest just kind of goes from there.  I just want to leave very early on Wednesday morning, figure Midnight (25th).  By the time we get up there it’ll be about 4am.  This gives us plenty of time to get in and to just head to bed for the night.  Then the next morning we’ll take the gifts out of the car and hide them in the house after Dad’s gone to work.  I’ll get some minor grocery shopping done for Dinner on Thursday (Dad’s birthday) and then that should basically take care of everything.

Up until that point I’m going to be working.  I have a few different projects going on right now that are bringing in some fairly decent change, this is how I was able to afford the $200 I dropped on presents this year.  Guess I should get myself back to work now though, few emails to go through.

If you can read this then you’re looking at curvy-chick.net being loaded from a new data center. I was sick and tired of the previous service, it was always down and over the course of the last few months I’ve had some pretty heated arguments with Tony so that’s put a damper on business through the company. I’ve found a new host that comes highly regarded and I’m in the process of getting everything moved over. For the sake of DNS I had to transfer over all of my personal stuff first, and then I’ll go and work on the clients. I’m unable to find any files for krissy.nu which is why that site is currently down. I do have a back-up and I’m manually restoring it. I believe my hefty Wordpress database had a lot to do with it. While I only publish two years worth of archives, there’s about 5 years worth and it covers about 1,000MB, so I’m downsizing quite a bit and we’ll see where things go from there.

I’ve got a horrible cold, to the point that I can’t really concentrate on much of anything. It started out as a sore throat which came on instantly but only half of my throat was scratchy, I wound up falling asleep and by the time I’d woken up my entire throat was sore. The following day it turned into some pretty nasty chest congestion and now I’m dealing with the nasal end of things and I’ve just taken a strong dose of antibiotics because I honestly can’t focus on anything. I feel as though my head is going to explode which typically means the infection is heading north. I also have a pretty high fever, I think it was 103.something. At the same time, I have double vision so who knows what number actually showed up on that little digital output.

I think it’s time to get back to bed.
