It’s been awhile since I last wrote, but I got so busy.  I’m all done now with the classwork I needed to do ahead of my Vancouver trip, so that I wouldn’t fall behind.  I did two chapters of PHP and one chapter of CSS, worked on Jessica Lee’s website and discovered the world twice over.  Now I can truly say I have lived!                         … the life of a computer geek.

One week til I leave for Vancouver!!! I’m so excited.   We’re all having a party at Clairessa’s place in downtown Vancouver on Halloween.  That’s going to be super fun.  I’m going to be a bum this year and not make a costume.  There just isn’t the time or money unfortunately… it would cause me too much stress.  Boo… I know.  Next year I’ll make two costumes and do a wardrobe change in the middle of the evening to make up for it.

What I’m really focusing on right now is Jessica Lee’s website, which has to be perfect.   I really want it to be something special that people will enjoy shopping at.  I’m having a little web designer/developer trepidation that it will take me too long to make the website or that the shopping cart will turn out to be a nightmare.  Lots of nagging uncertain thoughts.  That is why this is doubly important for me to finish and do well – then I won’t feel this way ever again!

It has not all been work lately though – Ryan and I went to the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride.  It was the first time for both of us, so we didn’t know what to expect.  Now that I’ve had the experience I think that I would like very much to go on a hayride again, but the haunted part was just ‘meh’.  I really loved sitting in fresh hay in a flatbed trailer with a bunch of happy strangers getting pulled around all over the place.  That’s an experience I would like to explore.  The scary part was not super scary and I didn’t like all the performers screaming so close to me, it was grating.  I get much more scared when I’m at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights and I’m walking around and someone jumps out at me when I least suspect it.   I should be going there in the next few days.

Pacifica Air is still toodling along.  We’re still waiting for our certificate to mature, which means we can submit our stuff to the FAA and do proving runs.  There’s been a few small aviation business deals we’ve done while we’re waiting, but it’s all very tenuous until the money is in your account.  Aviation is not a very dependable or forthright industry.
