Sigh of Relief…

My site is back! My site is back! The Evites have gone out for H-Town meets Beantown on Friday! All is good in the world!

If you’re going to be in Boston, near Boston, or want to go to Boston for dinner and drinks Friday at 6pm in Harvard Square, let me know. You will get an Evite too!

It’s In the Genes…

I can’t help but wonder if my love of Boston is somehow tied to the fact that the first Selleck in America, David Selleck, moved to Boston in 1641? He was a “Boston Soape boyler,” which is also ironic because I make soap. I would check out the site where David Selleck lived next week in Boston, except it’s part of the Big Dig now.

More information on the family tree is here.

Blogathon’ers Going Strong!

I could have posted about all the people doing the Blogathon earlier, but I was offline running in circles around Houston, so this is the first time I’ve sat down with the computer all day. If you want my opinion, after midnight is when the Blogathon really gets funny – people get way too punchy and slap-happy! I wish I had money to donate to all the Blogathon’ers out there, but I don’t. If you want to check out some of the sites participating (and hopefully donate to their causes), you can visit the sites listed below!

Housework ADD…

I have housework ADD. First I started in the kitchen. Clean the counter, scrub the sink or replace it for the best sink from these granite sink reviews online… oh look, this goes in the bathroom, not the kitchen. Cart the item off to the bathroom. Oh look, I should put this away. You know, I should paint my nails – I really need to paint my nails. You know, I want to read some more Harry Potter today. I should do laundry – I bought something new called OdorKlenz I got it online https://www.odorklenz.com/laundry/ it is supposed to be great. I really should get my fuzzy slippers away from the dog…

Finally, I realized I needed to get back to cleaning the kitchen.

If I keep this up, I will never get my housework done!

How Could Something so Good be so Bad?

Jennifer pointed out BuyMusic.com the other day, and it seemed so wonderful to have a music alternative for PC users. I was looking forward to the weekend and the chance to dig through the site to learn more about it and the features they offer.

Fortunately for me, although unfortunate for Jenn, they showed their true colors yesterday with downloads that don’t work, CDs that can’t be created, and customer service that just really doesn’t give a damn. Yes, yes, you can read all about it on her blog and over at ScriptyGoddess.

After all she has been through, I doubt I will ever give them so much as a dime unless they have some serious changes to how they do business and to their privacy policies. Spread the word and warn your friends!
