Another Year Older

Hey, Everyone!

Now, you're going to say "You're late!" but I came prepared for that!  You'll notice, in my last entry, I didn't say WHICH Monday I'd be updating from next--just that it'd be in the future!  Ho ho!  Nah, I kid.  You're right.  I'm totally late on this one.

2012 has been a crazy year so far.  It's been tough on me physically (I've had to deal with food poisoning twice, and a very terrible flu bug!), but filled with exciting new opportunities.

It was my birthday on January 7th, but because of above-mentioned flu bug, I postponed celebrating it until the 20th.  Ramiro and I went to my parents' house and we ate this delicious sugar-free chocolate mousse pie:

Feel free to count the candles if you're desperate to know how old I am now.

In other news, I finally shelled out for a pay theme and a more secure structure for my website.  I updated my free theme the other day and it BROKE and my website disappeared (ironically/appropriately, it was on the 18th when most of the websites I like were gone anyway due to SOPA protesting).  So, for a short while, my website looked like this:

Awful, wasn't it?

Fortunately, I got that all taken care of and my website is super pretty now!  Go check it out at LittleZotz.com!  (Updates every Wednesday!)

I also gave a full-on makeover to the ReviewHat website.  Check that out too!  I shelled out good money for those themes--someone better look at 'em!  ;)

And, as long as I'm mentioning website makeovers, go check out Ramiro's website, RED MUSEUM (nsfw).  He did a total makeover on it this week and didn't have to shell out bucks 'cause he's got mad skillz.  I'm very proud of him.  <3  And there's even a few new comics up, so be sure to check those out!

 

That's about it for now, I guess.  I can't give you too many details about my work and I doubt you want to hear the gory details of my flu/food poisonings...soooooooo...yeah...

 

Until next time!

Happy 2012!

Hey, Everyone!

Happy New Year!! :)

Did everyone survive the holiday season?

I'm thankful to have made it to 2012.  Last year was a tough one and will go down as one of my Top 10 Least Favorite Years (along with 2007 and 2009).  I have high hopes for this year!  Hopefully there will be a little time to relax--while still making money!  (Unemployment/lack of clients wouldn't be very relaxing!)

Ringo: Master Relaxer.

I didn't do anything especially awesome for New Year's Eve.  I had food poisoning (2011 had to be a jerk just one last time!) and spent a good chunk of the day in the bathroom.  I spent New Year's Day and today ("New Year's Day Observed") working.

Around/on Christmas, Ramiro and I visited with my parents, my mom's brother, Steff, and Danielle.  We also saw my friend James at the supermarket.  That was cool.

Robert made out really well with Christmas "loot" this year:

Licking his catnip pillow from Danielle

Chillin' with his llama from Steff

It looks like Robert doesn't really like his llama, but you're wrong.  He's just tired.  I took that picture after he wore himself out playing with it.  All the other pictures I tried to take of Robert + llama ended up looking like this:

Yikes!!

You might notice there's another llama/alpaca plushie on the bookshelf behind Robert...  That one's mine!  I got it in September and Robert kept trying to steal it.  Fortunately, now that he has his own (thanks, Steff!), I no longer have to worry about that.  :)

Anyway, thanks again to all of you who visited, gave gifts, sent cards, and shared your general good wishes in our direction.  Much appreciated!

Time to get back to work!

A picture of me at work (with my "esteemed colleague," of course!)

When I write here again, I'll be another year older.
