Last year, my Mom declared that we should all make a handmade gift for one another. I tried to crochet, but then I remembered just how much I suck at crocheting. I don’t have time to cross-stitch something. Do you think that Tampon Angels would be a good idea? [via Meredith.]
Come on. They’re so cuuuuute. And they would keep people guessing when they admired them on the tree!
I needed to put some ho, ho, ho back in the holiday season around here, you know? So I dug out of the old, old archives on my laptop this adorable little design that Erika made for me long, long, long ago. Seriously long ago, like 2001. So it’s in tables. I don’t care. I like the little snow angel, and it feels festive. Plus I get all warm and fuzzy as I reminisce about the good old days. It still needs a little tweaking, but I’ll get around to it later.
It’s Christmas time at the BPC. Enjoy! (And share your feedback!)
Dude. According to weather.com, it is currently 38 degrees outside. THIRTY-EIGHT degrees. I realize those of you up north are mocking me right now for emphasizing the temp, but can I just take a moment to share with you just how HAPPY I am that we have not one but TWO working furnaces now?
When I got home this afternoon, it was 62 degrees in the house, and guess what I did? I turned on the heat. Yep, it’s running right now as I type this. My fingers aren’t numb with cold. I have on toasty flannel pajama pants, but that’s by choice – not because I have to bundle up to stay warm in here.
I love my furnaces. And as the temp drops to 28 degrees tonight, I’m sure I will love them even more. The high/low for the rest of this week? 45/29 tomorrow, 37/23 on Christmas Eve, and 42/25 on Christmas. The 26th will be 50/32. Do you realize what happens to Houston with that many days of freezing temperatures? Nothing in Houston is built to withstand it. A day or two, fine. Several days in a row? Oh yeah, we’re in for a fun ride…
Rumor is, we might actually get SNOW this year for Christmas. SNOW. In Houston. Yeah, that’s what I get for bitching about not being able to get in the Christmas spirit. Now we just might get snow. How cool is that? Sure, it might only be half an inch worth, but it’s still really cool.
Even if it snows, at least it will be warm in my house.
Movable Type 3.14 has been released, “which fixes the issue of extreme loads witnessed on servers under the strain of a massive spam attack.” If you’re using MT 3.x – you NEED to do this upgrade. Trust me, your hosting company will thank you.
Has anyone managed to get their domain name back from Bloghosts? As far as I’ve heard, no one has managed to do it, even with sending their information in the format he has requested. Sad, very sad. So I’m curious to hear if there are any success stories out there.
I have always felt that if a host registers your domain for you, they should put everything in YOUR name. None of it should be in their name. And you should have absolute control. So it really upsets me to be stuck without access to their own domains.
