As I sit here, I realize that I have nothing to do and I realize that there are lots of nights when I have nothing to do and yet I don’t actually work on my site, and I don’t actually blog, I just kind of sit here with the book of ideas next to me and not implement any of them. I am not sure what it is, but I think it is the lack of video games since video games inspire me in a way that I can’t describe. So many nights I could have worked on the Spiderman section or gotten pictures together for the fanlistings, or started the new one that I wanted to do, but I realize that it isn’t time, it is inspiration that I am lacking.

My mother got me a gift card for my birthday last month and I used it to buy Red vs Blue: Bonus Content DVD and make your own box set, along with volumes 1 and 3 of Cad-comic’s softcover books. I am hoping that when the books come they will inspire me to do something that differs from work. Maybe I should just go on Saturday to Delaware and pack up the car and come back Sunday, but I don’t know yet.

Has it really been over a week since my last entry? Money seems to be evening itself out, though I still need to be making more of it. Right now all my time seems to be going to work and I need to split it up better between things I’d rather be doing and work. Of course I think this will be a lot easier once we have our stuff up here and I can play video games. We decided to buy a bed instead of shipping the one we have so we can go to Delaware anytime and start loading our stuff in the car. I think we’ll be making a trip sometime next week.

We are heading out to check out bar stools with Lucy. She just got one of those traveling wet bars, I think they are called, and she wants a nice set of stools to go with it. I think she said that there are different styles that go by different names, like ones that don’t look like they belong at a bar are Counter Stools, while ones that could either be in a bar or at a counter are referred to as Kitchen Bar Stools. I don’t know, I don’t really know the difference, nor do I really care much. I mean if I had a bar I would just get the classic Wood Bar Stools, that are three legged and backless, that is what I think when I think of a bar stool.

My aunt moved her father into her house, and in doing so moved one of her sons to the den. Now she has decided tat the den should be her son’s official new room, so she has been going all over looking for Kids Bedroom Furniture. Last time I talked to her, I think she had found a bed, but I think she is still looking for Childrens Desks and a
Childrens Chair. I know he’s just content sitting on the floor when playing video games, so I don’t know why either of those are important, but to her they are. I guess for homework, but every time I saw him doing homework he was sitting at the kitchen table, so I don’t think that is it. It might just be a decorating thing.

Politicians are saying that the American family is failing, but what they don’t realize is that while the family structure may be changing, it is definitely not failing. It is true that the divorce rate is high in America, but that doesn’t mean that families are failing, just that marriages are.

In the twenty first century families are more than just people you are related to by blood, they are people you are related to by circumstances, experiences, and just plain choice. Friends are closer than ever, having ways to constantly stay in touch through the use of technology. Ten years ago you’d never find people on the internet who were away who were your extended family, but the times have changed, and whether you speak to them on the phone, the internet, face to face, no matter what you might someday consider them family.

While the government may be saying that the American family is failing, who are they to generalize us? The family structure is different now, but it is a lot stronger than it was in the 1990’s.

I need new eyeglasses. Mine are all scratched and that scratch resistant coating that is on there is coming off. I should have probably gotten new glasses a while ago, back when I actually had insurance, but I would still need to pay out of pocket for the frames and the lenses. I wish I had known about ZenniOptical back then. I would be able to get a new pair of glasses and frames for around eight dollars.

Since I no longer have insurance I have to not only pay for the glasses, but also for the doctor’s appointment. I know Walmart has an obstetrician on the premises in some stores, but I haven’t been able to find one in New York yet, when I do though I am going to get a new prescription and then go through ZenniOptical to fill it. My last plan about finding out the prescription from the doctor who last prescribed my glasses fell through, since they don’t give that information out over the phone, but they can’t deny me the prescription if I have an appointment with the doctor. I would even buy backup pairs since they aren’t as expensive as going through a retail store.

We are thinking about investing in some new Bedroom Furniture. The bed we have is great and all, but a new frame with some storage under it, or maybe even just a frame that isn’t a low profile one. Either way no matter what we do we need to make sure that we have enough room in the Bedroom so everything fits. Even having enough room underneith for under the bed boxes would be all right, I just don’t like the idea of Bella being under a king size frame, which is where she normally sleeps.

When we finally have our own place, we hope to find one with Bedroom Suites so we can have an attached bathroom and hopefully it will be large enough where we can fit other furniture besides just a bed.

We’ve been going through everything and putting old notebooks, old poems, old photographs stuff like that away. The problem is that all these boxes look alike. I don’t like the idea of writing on the box because if you change what is in it then it is harder to relabel the box without getting confused. I think I might go out and pick up a DYMO Labelmaker to make it easier.

I know labeling will be more and more important when we get the rest of our stuff up here and more things are in boxes and storage, so a label maker would make that a lot easier. I used to have one, I just don’t know what happened to it. I remember using it the first time I moved, but I guess it was lost somewhere in that move. It helped out a lot back then, I think one that I don’t loose could help out a lot more this time around.

After we have everything sorted out, then I think a label maker might come in handy for folders and notebooks. I have a lot due to work and I know Krissy has a lot, so having them labeled on the biner would make finding them a lot easier.

I think if a bar really wants to stand out from the crowd then it needs to really put its best foot forward. Now I don’t mean just by using the best vodka, or the freshest limes, I am talking about having everything top notch, including the decorating. Many people do not want to be drinking in a dive bar, so I think the first thing that any bar would need to loose that reputation would be to upgrade the Bar Stool.

You really can’t update the bar, its a piece of wood that you serve drinks on. Other than a nice polish, or some new paint, there really isn’t much you can do. Bar stools are much more versatile though. Some of the classiest bars I have been to got rid of the ordinary backless stools and replaced them with newer Contemporary Barstools. Sometimes a bar is more than just a bar though, so it has other places to sit than just right at the bar, that Seating is just as important as the ones nearest to the bar, so changing them with a matching style is also important if you want your bar to have a new style.

Apparently tomorrow there’s four cases of beer for six people, all in celebration of my birthday. Needless to say, it’s my birthday and I’m going to be shitfaced. I wrote on my myjokecafe that I have a mean Irish punch. I say that, but the truth is my Irish punch is sheathed when I drink, I am a big pussy cat when I am drinking. In fact the last time I was drunk I got very emotional apparently. I don’t really remember much from it, but apparently I revealed things to Krissy that I don’t remember much. I don’t want to get that drunk this time, maybe just enough to be tipsy.

I love Vista Print. They have a ton of free offers going on all the time, and they have on going discounts that can save you even more money. For instance if you use the discount code TShirts25 then you can get 25% Off T-shirts. I would love to have a t-shirt that had LepsLair printed on the front of it. Think about it, I could go to the mall, or a store, wherever and advertise my website just by walking around. I don’t actually know if it would work, but it would be worth a shot.

I know I would use Vista Print for Christmas Cards. I am not talking about everyday run of the mill Christmas cards, I am talking about custom photo christmas cards. See I think the photo cards are a great way to keep people updated on what your family looks like, how it has grown, and what has changed with you in the past year. Maybe even do more than the typical picture with name of who it is too, maybe have it as a real card where you can write what has been up recently, especially for the people you haven’t seen in a while. I don’t know, maybe it is corny, but I know I like the idea.

Krissy’s been teasing me about what she got me for my birthday. She said it’s something I have wanted for as long as she’s known me, and then something else is two of the same thing just different colors. I can wait until Sunday to find out what she got me, I just want to know what it is that I have wanted for as long as she’s known me. I don’t think there is anything that I have wanted for that long, I know I have wanted a cell phone, but the plan was to wait until the insurance stuff and our stuff was up here and then we get a plan, so I doubt that is it. I guess I will be waiting until Sunday, since I can’t seem to figure it out.
