Is nothing original anymore?
Twice on the same day? Who says originality is dead?
Blooper and Bogger.
I took the test over
I took the test over at ColorQuiz.com. Somedays it amazes me how “right on” these test results can be, you know? Here are my results, and considering my current mood they are pretty darn skippy accurate:
Your Existing Situation: Persistent. Demands what she feels to be her due and endeavors to maintain her [...]
Is Your Name Sexy? I
Is Your Name Sexy? I am such a “C”. Super J (John) sent me the link, and he’s definately a “J”! You rock, Super J!
I’ll miss Ken. He rocks.
I’ll miss Ken. He rocks. Visit pocketlint.net – it will someday rule the world. (Be sure to check out all of his pictures and stuff while you are there. All of them.)
Sabby, Darling, I would be
Sabby, Darling, I would be content to listen to you until you ran out of steam. And when you ran out of steam then you could listen to me make a short story long…
Thanks Sabby for making me
Thanks Sabby for making me tear up with the mermaid story. I have felt like such a mermaid lately. I love it. I’ll share the saga of why I feel like a mermaid later on. (It is of course related to the Insignificant Other. As most sagas are.) Sabby [...]
I was reading Pischina’s blog
I was reading Pischina’s blog and she wrote, “If I put salsa on my eggs that is so hot that my nose is running and my tongue hurts, Am I burning more calories?” I found this concept to be hysterically amusing. My best friend, Chelsey, finally installed AOL’s IM at work today (yeah!) [...]
I just read Amy Bloom
I just read Amy Bloom on Why Women Love Bad Boys. Whoa. I love how she said, “Mainly, I think people are afraid. Most of all, people afraid of being alone. And so they tend to settle for partners whom, if they were looking for friends, those people wouldn’t even make it onto [...]
A VISITORS’ GUIDE TO HOUSTON,
A VISITORS’ GUIDE TO HOUSTON, TEXAS (AKA Thirty-one *more* reasons not to live in Houston). My personal favorite? 12. Many bizarre sights can be explained simply by uttering the phrase, “Oh, we’re in Montrose!!” Thanks for the laughs, Sabby Darling!
Ad free at last! No
Ad free at last! No more ads! (Well, on this page – I’ll do the rest tonight) I am so excited! Now, on a less exciting note, this speed demon is off to traffic court. Yes, again. I blame it all on my Dad – I inherited it from [...]
What Kaycee wrote about the
What Kaycee wrote about the Trail of Tears is really moving and very insightful. Her strength is amazing.
Barbie likes it like that.
Barbie likes it like that. I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair. Oh my goodness. Wouldn’t Mattel just DIE if they found that site? Oh my goodness. How hysterical.
Ack. I am still getting
Ack. I am still getting a pop-up ad. I am sticking the banner ad code back in for now, will try again after lunch.
Ads should be gone from
Ads should be gone from this front page. Just modified the template. Let me know if you are still seeing pop-up ads on this page. I’ll fix the other pages tonight.
I was hosting this site
I was hosting this site with Hypermart for free. But those pop-up ads were killing me, I couldn’t take it. So out of *love* for those of you that visit the site, I upgraded my service. No more stinkin’ ads for me! Now I can have cool things like tiny windows [...]
Today’s useless bit of trivia
Today’s useless bit of trivia information: the ZIP in Zip-code stands for “Zoning Improvement Plan.” Just in case you were ever wondering.
My uncle Terry sent us
My uncle Terry sent us an e-mail updating us on the balloon release that they held on the 26th, the one year anniversary of my cousin Tyler’s death. It was too moving not to post here. No one can tell me that there is no heaven, that there is no life after death… [...]
She got her Venus razor
She got her Venus razor Saturday, but poor Julie still doesn’t have one!
Hey, Pischina, I have to
Hey, Pischina, I have to agree with you about Tina Fey – she rocks! And I *love* her glasses. I want some glasses like those! They are so cool, but they would probably look terrible on me.
I watched Final Destination earlier today on the Tivo. That was weird, but in a [...]
Just found Vaille que Vaille.
Just found Vaille que Vaille. Loving it…
Meanwhile I have to address the latest concern about this horrid pop-up ad situation. Please don’t hate me because of my host’s pop up ad… I swear, I am working on getting it fixed – getting them to get it outta there. I promise. [...]
