One place I have always wanted to visit was France. I had an opportunity once to go to France and Spain for a summer, but I couldn’t gather tha $1200 in time. After that Jay and I decided we would go on our own, but I can guess it will be considerably more expensive when not part of a tour. I really envy those who get to backpack through Europe for a year or so.

I don’t know anything about getting a hotel in France, but I imagine it’s much like getting one in America. There are websites where you can book online, and that’s how I prefer to do it anyway. I’m a little scared about all the price differences and such, it seems like there’s a real learning curve your first time out of the states. The only time I have ever gone to another country is Canada.

I think if I were to go to France I would have to get my hotel in Paris. Although, the Nice hotels do seem to be a bit cheaper. I took French for 5 years in school but I’d be lucky to remember anything about the country itself. That kind of bothers me, too, because all through school I was learning how to speak this language and learning nothing about the country, its culture, or its people.

Have you ever been to France? Was it amazing?

I like to play in the online casino to get my mind off things. Sometimes I’ll have a lot of things to do and a little distraction can help me put them into order. I like to play online casino games that offer a bonus to start with and then I’ll usually stop playing when the funds are gone.

OnlineCasinoBluebook.com is a great site to help you find the top casino websites. They list their top 10, including information on payout % and the bonus that they offer. The top website they show offers a $888 bonus! Wow. Usually, though, the top casino sites will offer around $100. That’s a lot to help you get going.

The thing I like about Online Casino Bluebook is their lists. They don’t just show the top rated and their reviews, but they also have links for different types of casinos. They have a link right at the top for No Deposit Casino, which I prefer. I don’t like playing on websites where you have to put the money in first to play.

Before you play, check out the Online Casino Bluebook for ratings and reviews.

My friend, Steph, has decided to join me on this blog. Isn’t that great? I’m working on getting her settled in, but you’ll be hearing from her soon.

We may end up with a new wordpress template soon, too. Deaf Musician is holding a contest for a custom Wordpress Theme and we’ve entered. Not only have we entered, but we’ve been recognized as a possible winner. Yay. I’m very excited.

More coming soon!

Wordpress 2.3 was released today after about a month of beta testing. The developers have been really excited about this release and all the additions they’ve put into it. It sounds like they’ve been working really hard on it.

Do you have Wordpress 2.3? Did you try the beta?
What do you think of it?

Each time Wordpress gets a bit better, I get a little scared. Things always seem to happen to mess up my blog. One time I upgraded and the visual editor stopped working in IE. Another time it added all sorts of random characters into the posts and I had to go edit all of them. I’m looking for some reassurance that this one won’t break my Wordpress.

Oh, and today’s my birthday. *dances + twirls*

The idea behind this site is to make a lot of different graphics and such for you to use on your site. However, I’m obviously slacking. I’ve been looking around my computer for ones I’ve made for old sites that I can put up, so you’ll see those soon.

I was going to make and release layouts, but that doesn’t work out so well. I don’t think I want to do it that way. I think I want to limit it to MySpace layouts and Wordpress themes. I have another site where I’m going to put the regular layouts and stuff. I have too many sites, don’t I?

So Jenny is working on helping me put the old Dreamer layout into Wordpress. Once that’s ready it will be released into circulation. From then on, all the layouts released here will be Wordpress Themes and the layout versions of them will be released over at Lala Land. I can’t wait to open my project sites. Very soon!

Today’s my wedding anniversary so I won’t be working hard today, but I will get this all in order in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out!

I sat down here yesterday because it’s something I’m used to doing, but I was completely bored. I didn’t really want to work because it was a Sunday and even though I don’t have to, I thought I should take a day off. I could not think of a thing to do.

So I went searching around for some boredom busters. Something I can do on the computer that isn’t working and isn’t blog related, since I do those so much. I found a site that has a lot of computer games. Some of them are pretty cool, too. I like simple games that kill time and stretch my mind, so I opted to check out the Bud Redhead game, since it said it was like Mario Bros. I have a Windows PC (because I don’t like the mac mouse) but they have mac games as well.

My absolutely favorite, though, are RPG games. You all know how much I love Final Fantasy, but they’ve gotten too complex lately. Or, maybe not even complex, but they’re straying from the original RPG style and I don’t like it. So I think I may check out their RPG game, it definitely looks interesting.
