So I’m sitting here at work, planning out yet another version of a website that might get built this year if we’re lucky, and I thought I’d share with you some of the many faces of mini sites that I’ve made recently. If you visit vitalsmarts.com, or remember me talking about the trainer zone, you’ll notice these look nothing like each other. YUP. So, here ya go
Thought I’d update you on the first day of Liferay training. The church is beautiful. I wish I had a camera to take pictures… the LIferay corporate headquarters is located in an active church. The address sign says the church’s name, no Liferay ANYWHERE! I had to call to find it, after I drove directly there. We are meeting in Sunday school room 4. Liferay is two rooms of Chinese people in the annex. It’s RAD. Today was a great overview of all the stuff I taught myself over the last 7 months. Tom looks like it should be some good new stuff. As far as useful, I do get lots of personal time with the liferay folks. Got lots of answers, turns out that automatic SEO friendly urls is in 5.2 (we are running 5.1.1), that subdomains like trainers.vitalsmarts.com, associates.vitalsmarts.com, etc. IS possible, and getting rid of the /web/ in the URL IS also possible. Silly IT people. So I’ll try to get as many how to’s on those tom. My impressions thus far is that we are trying to kill a bug with a bulldozer. There are three of us in the training, the other two guys work for companies 2000+…. I didn’t mention that we almost have 80. Anyhoooo Training was a bit slow today as the other two guys kept having problems during the excercise sections.. ha good thing I had a year to practice. One other thing I think we could’ve setup trainer zone as an organization instead of as a community.. but oh well. Aight, hope you enjoyed your DAY OFF.
I’ve gone and left the family for a few days. I’m in diamond bar CA, in a hotel with free internet… hehehe…. I’m here for Liferay training. What is liferay you ask? Don’t worry you’ll never need to use it. Anyway, my flight out was very fun, I sat next to the second largest person on the plane. She ased if she could swap seats with me, I had the aisle, so I ased how much cash she had. Thankfully I pulled my legs out from her thigh a few times to stretch out down the aisle. Picked up my AVIS rental car after denying the additional everything. After getting in the car and looking at the map, I went back in and got the optional Garmin Nuvi GPS navigator. WOW is this thing cool. Now let me explain up to this point I wasn’t enjoying the trip very much and had it decided that I don’t really like travelling. BUT now… oh now, I have a best friend to come with me. And it knows everything. I drove straight to my hotel with only one wrong turn (user error) and My friend Garmin found an In and Out Burger just down the road. I think tom Garmin is going to show me where the nearest steakhouse is. I’m SO excited. So honey if you ever want to go travel the world with me, that’s fine as long as I have the latest GPS unti in my hands and some rechargable batteries. Well, have fun, I’m sure I’ll see you tom, as I don’t have anyone to hang out with here (thanks for not answering your phone Gino)
As the annual tradition, I’m cleaning out the McVideos and starting new. This will be your last 24 hours to watch the 08 videos in the McVideos section. For those of you who would like to have this treasure on your very own computer or CD, please download the 2008 package in the next 72 hours (a limited time only b/c of file size, if you try and it doesn’t work email/call me).

If you want to make a CD, simply burn the contents of the zip pack to a cd and each time you insert it into a computer it will automatically open McVideos in a browser. Comment with any questions, love ya!
No, I haven’t had the baby yet. Yes, I do feel ready and anxious!
Those are some answers I’ve been repeating a lot lately! It’s certainly been a very different end of the pregnancy than it was when I was going to have Chase. I didn’t have much going on physically at the end of that pregnancy, but this one has been “eventful” to say the least! I will spare you the details of what’s been going on, but let’s just say it’s not very pleasant. I’ve had “latent labor symptoms” for nearly 3 weeks now, and it’s been crazy thinking that every day could be the big day (and then it isn’t). I also feel a little physically impaired, mainly when it comes to doing things with Chase, and even walking! But I am very grateful that I’ve still been able to go and do things, and that I don’t have to be on bed rest or anything. I know that’s a blessing!
One thing that has made me nervous is that my blood platelet count has been low throughout the pregnancy. My doctor said that the main concern with that is just whether or not they’ll give me the epidural that I love so much! I had my last blood test today to check my platelet count, and it’s still lower than normal, but it appears to be high enough for me to be able to have an epidural so I’m relieved about that!
Yes, I am quite anxious to have the baby arrive, although I know plenty of new challenges will arise (but lots of blessings, too). I am going to be induced tomorrow (5 days before my due date), due to insurance reasons rather than the reasons mentioned above! And if you’re wary of the whole induction thing like I initially was, my doctor said that it often causes complications when it’s your first baby, but any after that are no problem. I hope that’s true, because that’s what I’m doing this time! We will keep you posted.
And so can you. I’m having a great time being big. I think big women have an advantage in life, they have so much gravitational pull… anyway just thought I’d update you on how things are going and I wanted to test posting video so easy Joy can do it, YES THIS IS PACE! I’m using Joy’s Live Writer to see how she could do videos.
Joy is willing to wager a visit of the new baby that she will not be pregnant this time next week. I accepted the challenge and now I need your input on how to make sure a baby doesn’t come.
ok for real, Joy has been feeling exeedingly pregnant the last few days and thinks the baby could come this week. Keep your new google readers up to date as we might be blogging about Bertha very soon.
Happy birthday to my Mommy! Hope you have a fun day (don’t study too much)!
