I had planned to jump on here Monday afternoon and catch you up on stuff– my nice weekend and things like that. But I was stunned into silence at 3 in the afternoon.
A couple days later, I’m still feeling quiet. But that doesn’t mean things cease to happen.
Re: Books
I finished The Fairy Godmother last night which was a cute little twist on Cinderella– definitely original. If you’re in the mood for cute, read it. It does a pretty good job of addressing fairy tale stereotypes. Not a perfect job, mind you, but a decent one at least.
This morning, I started Ready Player One. I’m no more than 20 pages in and I love it. I don’t know if I’ll stay loving it but right now, I love it. I love it good.
Even more books came in from the library as well, Refuse to Choose as recommended by Single Mom Rich Mom, and Wonderstruck.
Re: Child Support
Still ongoing. Still shouldn’t say anything about it. I want to. There is stuff. Unrelated to the motion, but related to child support– Remember the whole thing about the IRS garnishing his refund? I’m beginning to doubt I’ll ever see that money. It hasn’t shown up nearly two months later. A lady at the state attorney’s office told me that if it was a significant amount of money, they would hold it and ask him to confirm it and then release it. And then if he doesn’t confirm it, they go through a separate process. Apparently, it has to do with them wanting to make sure the tax return isn’t fraudulent because if it is, I have to return it. At least, that’s what she told me. I can’t find anything about it online. Everything else says simply, three to five weeks. So… yeah
Re: Programming
The semester is wrapping up and it looks like I won’t be able to take another class until next year. The summer schedules are complete poop and the Fall is not going to work for me at all. So I have to start coming up with a plan on what to do before then. I know one thing for sure, I can’t give up programming because I’ll lose everything I’ve learned. I just wish I knew programmers. I’ve met a few online on Google+ and have been getting feedback from them but sometimes I feel like I don’t even know the questions to ask. I am going to work on CodeAcademy for sure and I think I might tinker with Scratch for a while. I just want to get to the point where I can come up with little programs and run them. I especially think of games for my kids. Remember Choose Your Own Adventure?
Re: Kids
They’re awesome. Last week, we signed up for DIY.org but because it was their dad’s weekend, we haven’t really done much with the site. Going to have to change that though. Have you guys seen that site? If you have kids, you MUST check it out. They will love it. Especially if they’re curious and/or tinkerers. It’s Kid-Safe and it’s like a Pinterest for kids but BETTER. My youngest two are coughing and stuff so I’m combating with allergy meds and cough medicine. Other than that though, I think everything’s ok.
Re: Crochet
I finished a top for my mom I’d been making for months. And then she tried it on and it doesn’t fit her right on top. So I started taking it apart at the top. I’m going to redo the top in a smaller hook size and see how that works out but I’m really sad it’s all screwed up. I’ve been working on it since October. I also started working on Daughter’s Communion Dress. I have a year for that one but wanted to get it going. Sizing in crochet is tricky.
Re: You
How are you? What has been going on in your world?
