Jewelry, Pictures, and Browser Issues!!

Last night was girls' night, and we went to my friend, Renee's, house. It was quite fun! We joked, we laughed, we gossiped, and we even drank a little. I had a good time! I brought all my jewelry sets because Renee said she'd take some pictures for me on her digital camera. Since we are both sort of perfectionists, we wanted the pics to come out very well. And if that meant 5 pics of one item, well, then that's what it meant! So anyway, the above are some pictures of what I have made. This is not even close to everything I have. I am hoping to have a website of some sort go up soon, as soon as my sister, Mandy, helps me figure out how to put everything on! I have done a very basic website, but nothing complex! Mandy would be the expert to go to!

Anyhow, if the pics are blurry, it's NOT how they really look on my computer. I learned something new today while trying to put some of the sets on Ebay. I tried the rainbow set first, and after filling everything in, I clicked on the preview button. The picture looked like crap!! I thought it was because I was on dial-up. Pictures hadn't been looking too great lately since I had to drop the cable modem (sniff sniff), so I IM'd my friend, Rob, to see if he could take a look at the posting since he had cable. He told me that it also didn't look very good, but he tried it on another web browser called FireFox, and it looked great! Soooo, after I downloaded FireFox, I looked at it myself, and it looked just like the pic I had on my computer!
Sooooooooooooo, I put a disclaimer in the description that says, "I'm sorry if the picture looks blurry. It really isn't that way, but if you are using AOL or Internet Explorer, the image may look blurry." Even the above pics look blurry to me on my computer right now, but they really aren't! Please let me know if they are blurry to you! I'm just curious to know, maybe it's just my AOL??

Another issue I'm having is trying to look at pics grouped together on You've Got Pictures. I can see them now, but when I click to view larger, the pics don't show up. Is that happening to anyone else?? I tried looking at pics posted in another journal the other day, and they weren't showing up for me either. UGH!!! I hate computers sometimes!!

I got to watch Hailey for a while today while Mandy and Ron were cleaning up and taking more of their stuff in the apartment. She was sleeping almost the whole time, but I didn't care! I just love watching her, she is just too cute for words!! She is 2 months old today, yay!!

I guess that's about it for now. I didn't have too much of an exciting weekend. Oh, I did sell 3 jewelry sets last night, though! Go me!!

Strange, they seem to look clearer on my home computer. Not that they were that blurry on my dad's either. They look great on both! ~ L Comment from fitzzer2 - 8/25/05 10:40 AM

Beautiful my friend. NOT in the slightest blurry using IE for me. :) It would be very hard choosing a favorite, but if I had to I would choose number 8! The earrings would need to be tiny ones for me. lol But, the set is gorgeous. Keep up the good work. :) Comment from anglswinks - 8/22/05 6:24 PM

Very pretty! (I knew they would be) The first 2 pics were a little blurry and a couple others, but none are too blurry. #3 - the red one - is my fav! I've never tried e-bay, let me know how it goes and good luck! ~ Lori Comment from fitzzer - 8/22/05 10:38 AM

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
