if i have an offline wallet, how do i see how much bitcoins is in my wallet?  (serious questions)
i usually just have it up on my screen minimized and i check it every now and then.

You can install a watch only wallet. You will need a deterministic wallet like Electrum or Armory or the upcoming multibit hd.

Just use www.blockchain.info to watch your Bitcoin wallet, for Litecoin I use http://explorer.litecoin.net
My real wallet is on an encrypted Ubuntu home partition. I only log into when I want to buy something.

Install altcoin clients on different encrypted home partitions. Never run a miner and your wallet in the same place. Never trust a 3rd party to hold your Bitcoins!  Wink
