Sharing Your iTunes Online?
I’m looking for something like Kung-Tunes for the PC. I don’t want to list what I am currently listening to though – I want to list everything in my iTunes library, like Squidfinger’s iPod page.
Speaking of the blog, I’m still planning on pulling down the current design. As soon as I finish my task list for Bridezilla, errr… Chelsey, and get some sort of picture script running to share our wedding photos. I need something fresh. (Of course, as soon as I make it fresh, I’ll want the old comfortable design back.)
And speaking of wedding photos, anyone out there with mad photoshop skills that could help me tweak a few photos? I have a wild piece of hair in one of them that I want edited out, and I need to lift us out of one downtown skyline photo and place us in another one on a more sunny day. There may be a few others, but honestly – Rannie did such a fantastic job, it’s just minor things. Anyone interested in helping? I’m all about the barter system – just let me know!
I seem to be needy today, don’t I? In reality, I’m quite edgy, and somewhat melancholy on top of it. Yeah, I’m a ton of fun to be around. I’m just in the mood to get things done, and the list just keeps getting longer…

Oddly Refreshing…
I never thought I would say this, but there was something quite refreshing about getting up this morning and updating the Blogomania site at 6:30 am. Crazy, but true. Now all of the new account size information is on the site, and I’ve corrected various items such as links to the Helpdesk.
Hmmm… what other challenges can I take on today?

Just Another Monday…
It’s funny – since I have not been working, I don’t normally have issues with Monday. It’s just another day of the week for me. But not today. Today has been a Monday.
I went to Walgreens to pick up a prescription. No big deal, walk in the store, pick up the milk I need to buy, go to the counter to get the medicine, I’ll be in and out in a flash. Ha! Yeah, good one.
I give the clerk my name, and he tells me the cost. I was a little surprised by the fact that it was $7 more than it normally is, and it wasn’t a cute even amount like the normal insurance co-pay. You know, it’s normally $20, $30, $35, whatever. Mine? $36.99. Odd.
Then he tells me that the insurance ID number isn’t valid.
Mike works for a big oil company, so we added me to his insurance as a “Domestic Partner” back in April. It saved us about $500 a month over what I was paying for my tiny law firm insurance. Standing in the middle of Walgreens today, all I could imagine was how he notified them in June that we got married and they kicked off the 30 day enrollment option – and since we thought I was already on the insurance and didn’t do anything to make a change, they kicked me off. You know how insurance companies are, right?
The tech called in to United to verify my coverage. Maybe something was just wrong with the computer system? No. Then he asks to verify Mike’s coverage.
Guess what? Mike’s not in the system either.
We have no insurance. Holy fucking craptastic, we have no insurance.
Big Oil Company is divided in to divisions. (Kymberlie, that one was just for you.) Mike used to work for one division, but that division is going away. Mike moved to a new division at the beginning of July. After I called him freaking out about the lack of insurance, he called the benefit coordinator. Turns out that in the process of transferring him from one division to another, they dropped his insurance. Now they have to open an investigation in to it, and who knows how long it will take to fix it. Never mind the fact that I need to go in for my usual allergy shot later this week. *sigh* Yeah, it’s a Monday…
