Yes, it’s a new layout!
I did not make it myself, I simple didn’t have time for it. But I really wanted to change the layout, at least for the blog itself, so I got this one at Scribble Scratch!
My old layout is still up in the content sections and I plan on keeping it up for a while.

I’ve been extremely busy lately, I’m getting really far behind with school work, suddenly I have too much to do at work, the economy is going to hell, I’m worried if my bank will go bankrupt in next few days, the food, the gas and basically everything is getting more and more expensive with every week.
Not good to live in Iceland right now!

But I don’t have time to talk about the icelandic bank sector right now or the falling of our currency. I’ll try to cook up some long and juice blog soon

Yesterday right before I fell asleep I pictured this beautiful layout and I really want to make it… but today I don’t really remember how it was
I really hate when that happens!

The weekend was good, we visited my boyfriend’s grandparents, his parents, his uncle and his aunt. They live on a farm and this weekend was a round-up (gathering? I have no idea what the right word here is! It’s the process of going to the mountains and collect the sheep, am I making any sense?). Since my two-year old son is a hard-worker (at least for such a young child), I had to be too… so he could participate. It was really fun actually, hard but fun. And yesterday I was SOOO tired and I crawled into bed at ten-thirty and until 9 this morning!
And I’m still tired! But school stuff waits so there is no time for my beauty sleep

That was all I wanted to say TODAY, hope you all had a good weekend

I’ve been getting more and more irritated each time I want to blog because every single time I log in I have around 100 spam messages waiting for me
And I need to go through all of them to be sure I’m not deleting comments from actual visitors (I though have a bad feeling that I HAVE deleted actual comments ).
Few days ago I found this pluggin called Spam Karma and it works!
I haven’t needed to worry about any spam messages since I installed it. Woohoo

My son was sent home last tuesday with the chicken pox so he stayed home for the rest of the week and, of course, so did I.
I didn’t get much done school-wise so I’ll have to study like a crazy person this week to get back on track :sweat:. I made a plan to help me though and so far (that is, yesterday and today) I have been right on schedule ;), so that’s promising right?

I have to go to work tomorrow though, but I hope I can finish what I need to do in less than two hours. I might becoming unemployed in few months. My boss is most likely selling his business. But I’m not worried and I’m not applying for other jobs. It’s hard to find a job that is as flexible as this one and I also need to put more focus on my studies this semester.

My boyfriend and I are really lucky, even though we are this young and are buying our first apartment, his salary is enough to pay for all of our expensive… well maybe not ALL, but I have amazing parents that are willing to help us just so I can finish university.
I don’t know how we would do without them . They’ve just been amazing help to us, and my sister… so I do realize that we are extremely blessed being born into exactly this family.

The are only two-downsides I can think of, first is that my brother was borne disabled but I do think the fact that he is disabled makes him the great personality that he is! He enjoys life like no other, he’s a happy person .
The other downside is that my dad drinks. When he gets drunk (which can as well be on tuesday morning) he’s usually drunk for two - three days. He has a drinking problem but doesn’t realize it himself, and because he doesn’t realize it we can’t help him. He doesn’t drink just 6 bears, it’s at least whole bottle of wodka each time. It hurts each time he gets drunk… I don’t know why I feel so bad about it, it’s not like I have to put up with it anymore since I don’t live with them. It just feels like a betrayal I guess, because he’s always promising to quit, or at least not get so drunk that he can’t speak. I don’t want his grandson to see him like this ever, it’s bad enough that his children needed to watch him like that… his grand children shouldn’t have to.
And I usually call ahead when I plan on visiting them with Chris, especially on weekends, just to make sure he’s sober…
I do think that his drinking problem can be related to the birth of his disabled son.

I’ve promised myself that my children will never have to see me drunk! I hate when people get filthy drunk (even though I’ve occasionally been filthy drunk myself, but now that I’m a parent I don’t get that way). My sister doesn’t drink at all.
I do belief that our resentment to alchohol can be related to our dad’s drinking problem, is that a good or bad thing?

Woah, will you look at that! I’ve probably said much more than I should have about my life… but if I can’t get it out of my chest on my own blog (where I actually go by a fake name), where can I?

Thank you, thank you, thank you Gel for leaving a message on my tagboard. I visited your site and found this REALLY awesome site called Wayback Machine and you can actually find your old sites again! Even domains I used to have are still there (not at the address itself, but in this archive) but not the images though:( Which is really sad because I was reading my old blog and old guestbook and I see I was really happy with this layout that Hol made for me and I was also extremely happy with some kind of purple/black layout I made but I don’t remember what it looked like… and I really want to see those layouts just once more!

The good old days!

I also tried to locate all my old affiliates but sadly everyone is gone
I found out what my old AIM was so I’m trying to see if the account was deleted or if for some miracle it’s still there with all my old contacts! Wouldn’t that be sweet? I’m extremely excited right now!

The last few days I’ve been feeling very inspired to open a new site, just a small project. The problem is I don’t know what kind of site that is!
And when I don’t even know that, it’s no use to open just SOME KIND of site just because I feel inspired to that at the moment, right? A design site popped into my mind yesterday though. I used to run a design site with my sister years back and yesterday I really wanted to re-open it, I even started on a layout for it. But today I realized that it’s just to much work to run a design site that offers free customize layouts and other graphics for people. I just don’t have time for it on my own right now. Shame though

I’m used to buy myself lunch at school. And not just lunch, in the past I used to buy at least two 0.5 l soda, some candy and snack during each day. I didn’t really think about the money I spent just on that since it was just small amount each time.
This year on the other hand I plan on being smart! I’m going to bring my own lunch from home, drink water (since it’s free in my country!) and not eat candy. The only thing I’ll be buying from the cafeteria is coffee. This plan SHOULD save me some money

I’ve realized that this layout has been up for a month now. And up til now I’ve gotten sick and tired of every single layout after a month or less! But I still adore this layout So no changes anytime soon

Now I’m realizing I really don’t have anything to say and I’m just rambling. But since I’ve actually written this much I do not want to delete this post so I’m publishing it I hope you enjoyed yourself!
