Building, Learning, Coughing

I've been reading the latest page turner, "PHP and MySQL Web Development"...hold your enthusiasm. :) Ok, so it may not be as fun to read as the Twilight series, but there's some good stuff in there...I'm sure. Really, I've only just started the book, and it reminds me of reading a foreign language that is slightly similar to English. I'm picking up about every 3rd word and trying to make sense of it.

But last night, after downloading several helpful tools on my laptop, I began creating a website! Its still on my laptop (localhost) and not online yet. I'll let you know when I get it online, trust me! But I'm so excited to start a project like this!! Especially after not really grasping what I was reading!

If you don't know, Koleen's husband Mike does web development with Commerce Guys. And he's helping get familiar with Drupal. I feel so lucky to know a couple of "geeks" to help me along this journey. Koleen's ex-brother-in-law Rob has also been more than helpful, encouraging me via facebook. And, though I've decided to skip this March's DrupalCon in D.C. due to circumstances beyond my control...I hope to go to the next one. :)

That's about it for now...except the coughing part. Hopefully that goes away soon! Gotta love Michigan winters! :) I'll let y'all know when I get this web development thing figured out & have something to show you!

Cheers,
Nickie

blah biddy blah, blah, blah...

I know there are things going on that I should blog about...but they aren't coming to me right now.  So, maybe I'll just babble a bit. :)  

The holidays were fun.  It was nice to spend some QT with the fam and loved ones! :)  Got to spend Christmas morning at the O'Connor house, then to my sister Becci's, then off to my dad's...ending with a viewing of The Spirit.  (Save your money and rent the DVD if you haven't seen it on the big screen yet.)  I rang in the New Year at Ron and Chloe's house...playing Canasta and Catch Phrase.  Good times! 

Still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.  Maybe I'll just avoid growing up all together...there, problem solved.  ha ha!  

Being a basement dweller is fun... especially when the household is passing around the flu!  Ahhh, the adventures with children are endless.  :)  It is fun to spend several days in pajamas...kind of a bonding time, if you will.  But I had it easy...I don't envy Koleen with a vomiting baby you try to aim towards the sink...especially when he passes the sickness on to her!  

So, the start of a New Year.  What will this one bring?  I'm hoping it will bring me an apartment in Ann Arbor...along with multiple income streams!  Yay, that sounds like a plan!   Then...a winter condo in Florida.  Is it ever too early to be a "snow bird".  :)

So, cheers to 2009!  And blah, blah, blah. :)

Twitter

Okay, so I joined Twitter today...but I'm still wondering what it is all about.  How do I link my Twitter stuff to my Facebook and my Blog?  

Help a technologically challenged friend, would ya? :)
