| Making Your Livejournal Into A Book |
[May. 24th, 2009|01:57 pm] |
Has anyone ever made their livejournal into a book??
I'd love to hear more about how this can work & how much work it takes to do it. |

Last night, Ken came home for 2 hours- we picked him up, picked up a few groceries, made a quick library stop, then went to KFC to use a coupon/for dinner. Talia was well behaved, so it was nice :)
When we got home, we carved a pumpkin. Talia had a lot of fun. I got pictures & video & even participated in the gunk squishing with Talia. I drew the face on, & Ken carved it. It was a good night :)
Then Ken helped me put Talia to bed (I really appreciate that he does that on nights like this when he has to go back to school), & then went back to the University to stay overnight.
Last night I did NOT sleep well. I think I managed to get enough sleep, but I felt like I woke up every 2 minutes to change sides because my ribs hurt. It sucked.
When I get around to putting the pics on the computer, I'll have to post them (of our pumpkin carving).
--------------------
I don't have a car today which is ok b/c I have a TON of things to do around the house.
The kitchen is quite a mess (except the table which is cleared off nicely after our pumpkin carving) <--I think today I'll just pick one section of counter at a time to clean, & try to get the kitchen done that way instead of doing everything at once.
I also have a few loads of laundry to put away- I need to make myself do that, or the mess will get worse. I just loathe it these days because it involves a lot of bending over & such.
The living room has also become a mess- amazing how easily that happens. Not sure if I'll get to that.
And of course T's room could use some tidying, & probably everywhere else ;)
I should do something fun with Talia, too. |

| Talia's Name |
[Aug. 27th, 2008|03:05 pm] |
The meaning I've always stuck to for Talia's name is "Heaven's Dew" (the meaning in our baby name book), but I just found out it also means "flourishing and beautiful" in Greek.. I like that, too :) |

| Revelation- My Dad's Thoughts |
[Aug. 18th, 2008|04:21 pm] |
When we gathered for Brandon's setting apart, we were with one other guy who was being set apart & his parents & 2 sisters. For Brandon there were Robin, Louis, his siblings & their spouses & children, our parents, gramma, & Arlene (I think that's everyone who was there).
Before setting apart each of them, the stake president asked the 'elder' to say something about each parent that he appreciated (For my dad, Brandon said that more than anything he has been supportive & a great example in the church- he also said something about how he's such a good example & doesn't know if he'll ever measure up to him; for my mom he talked about her giving up her career to stay home & be there for her kids & how she was always there for him). He also asked each of the parents to say one thing about their son that they thought would help him on his mission.
My mom talked about how Brandon has had courage in his challenges physically & otherwise & how he has persevered in doing what he should even when he didn't really want to. When it came to my dad's turn, something very interesting happened.
First, my dad didn't speak for quite a while. Then he thanked Tom's parents (the other elder) for coming to Btown for the setting apart. Then he was quiet for another long time. Then he said, "This isn't happening because I can't think of anything to say." ..another long pause... then he thanked the stake president for taking time for the setting apart (he had to fly to china or korea or somewhere that day). Then he finally started in on his answer (my guess is that he was trying to compose himself by talking about other things)....
So, he talked about how Brandon is really good with people & cares about people, etc. (gave examples of what he's seen with Brandon working at the store with him). Then he started to talk about how he (my dad) has tried to do what's right in his life because he has such a strong testimony, that he has tried to put the Lord first in his life, but that he thought that sometimes his priorities (I don't think that's the word he used though) have been mixed up, and that he hasn't spent as much time with his kids as he should have, and hasn't been as good a father as he should have.
This whole time he was quite emotional. I was tearing, Brandon was tearing, Ken said Hilary looked teary eyed too. It was something I think I needed to hear. I'm sorry my dad feel such regret though- I know he's likely to beat himself up about it.
On the way home from church, my mom & I talked about it & she said he's been thinking a lot & having some regrets lately. |

So, I just finished a set of proofs in lightroom, & I want to delete them from my card so that I can use it for something tomorrow. However, I want to save the raw files so that I can crop them in different ratios later if that's what the client orders... is there an easy way to do that without losing the editing I've done in lightroom? How do you handle this issue?
When I used to edit in bridge, I'd have saved the raw files on my computer anyway, so I'd just leave them until the client made their order. |

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

| Obligatory Friends Cut Post |
[Sep. 27th, 2007|02:19 pm] |
I did a friends clean up. Mostly people who either never post, or never comment, or I find myself skipping entries, or not really connected to. That kind of thing. |

| Web Help? |

Okay, so I used Porta to make a SimpleViewer gallery.
It all works great on my computer, but I do not understand how to get it online.
I tried uploading all of the files individually into their own folders (the same way they are organized on my computer), but it isn't working.
I tried using their support forum & the only help I can find is this:
------------------------------
My step-by-step approach is:
1. select in Porta the source folder.
2. create a Title for your specific album ( I have more than one).
3. Edit album and select "Introduction and Album link".
4. Set the Link text and your homepage link. ( mine = ../start.html)
5. make your prefered option settings.
6. start.
7. move the result album folder into the folder where also the homepage link is.
8. rename the album folder if you have more albums.
9. create a link from your homepage to the /album_*/index.html
------------------------------
I have to confess, I don't get what this guy is talking about.
Can anyone help me?
(If it matters, I'm using freehostia for a host)
....could the solution have something to do with FTP? Cuz I don't get how to use it :/
*currently looking up FTP on wikipedia*
Okay, so I think FTP may be the solution, but I'm still really confused as to how to go about using/doing that ... :/
Can anyone help? |

| Sick, Website Frustration |
[Feb. 18th, 2007|08:58 am] |
I'm home sick from church again. THis time with Talia because it's ward conference & Ken has meetings he needs to be at after church.
I was planning to go to Eujean's house for lunch after church while our husbands were at meetings, so it really sucks that I'm gonna miss that as well.
I even think I probably could have gone to church, because I think it's the kind of thing where you wake up feeling terrible, but after breakfast, talking a bit, and waking up, it starts to fade.
But church starts at 9am, and I didnt' wake up until about 8:40 and then had to nurse Talia, so there was no chance I'd be able to get ready & go.
Ken could pick me up during Sunday School, but then I'd be there in time to pass the last hour chasing Talia around the halls, so what would be the point?
-----------
Also, yesterday I discovered a really neat way to do photo galleries yesterday while Ken was at the Basketball tournament & Eujean & Sarah were supposed to come over but couldn't. I got one all set up with some of Jacquie's pictures, and wanted to test it so that I could use it for Mark & Whitney's pics... however somehow when I uploaded it, the index file replaced the index file for my webpage (the family webpage that I run). I am so not impressed. It took me a long time to get it all set up the way that I liked, and I didn't save the code *slaps self in forehead*... it'll take a long time to rebuild... if I can even bring myself to do so.
And to top it off, I can't get the gallery to work. *grrrrr*
------------
We're trying to figure out what to do for Reading Week. (this week)
Ken even considered buying tickets to Las Vegas (it's our last year before we have to pay for tickets for Talia), but we don't have passports, and you need them to go to the States now.
Then we considered driving down to see my sister in the states, but it's their anniversary so they're going away for a couple of nights.
So... no idea what we'll end up doing, but I hope we can come up with something fun! |
