The rain is still coming down. We had sunshine for a little while yesterday, but it’s been raining all day again today. I have plans tonight to follow through on Bran’s anti-rain dance suggestion, so we’ll see how it goes. Either it will stop raining or the tequila will guarantee I don’t care.

I have two options for the Halloween party on Saturday night and I can’t decide what to wear. I can dress up in my new witch costume (I am Pure Evil ™ after all) with lovely purple hair, or I can put my hair up in pigtails, wear my Minnie Mouse blinking light ears, and go as a Girl. (Since I have wily girl powers already, you know…) So, which is it? Girl or Witch?

The theme of the party is the Middle Ages, and if it wasn’t raining so much I would go to the Ren Fest and get a costume there for it, but it’s going to be a huge Mud Fest with all this rain and I think the shop that is outside with the costumes for sale will be closed.

All this rain has been effecting my mood. The clients at work are jumping for attention, so that’s where I’ve been. Can’t really complain now that it’s almost over, but … now you know why I’ve been so quiet.

Meanwhile, Picture Yourself has been updated. Go look through the latest photos if you have time – and then send in one of your own!

First I should start with what I’m grateful for – I am glad that it is cooler outside now here in Houston. Our high today should be 78, with a low of 66. However, I am tired of the rain. It’s rained almost non-stop since Sunday. Gray and overcast. We did see a hint of sunshine yesterday, and I could see the moon when I was out last night, but this morning it was nothing but gray again. The allergies are starting to kick in to high gear now too, thanks to the rain.

Of course the gray weather just makes you want to curl up and sleep in late, and that’s exactly what I did this morning. Not intentionally though – and that’s when it sucks. Sure the extra sleep feels good, but the jolt you get when you wake up and realize you’ve overslept … blech. I hate that feeling. I set my alarm last night before I went to bed – but didn’t turn it on. Fortunately I woke up on my own, only about 15 minutes late – so it all turned out ok in the end.

So while I’m having a great week, and life is generally fantastic – I’m so tired of the rain. I need my sunshine! Anyone know an anti-rain dance I can try?

With the holidays just around the corner, I have to remember these tips – from Jake at 8Bit Joystick: How to Get Your Video Gaming Money’s Worth. Jason has a PS1 at our house, and a PS2 at my parent’s house – so we already knew a lot of the tips about using the PS1 games on the PS2. Now the plans are under way to have a PS2 at my house too – so I’m sure there are new games in our future! It may be possible that we can also play the games on the computer, so If you’re playing this title, you should look into getting the best gaming mouse you can afford. Another link that Jake recommended over in Kristine’s is GameFAQs, which I am sure will come in handy. Anyone else have some good game related links to share?

It’s been a long day. Huge client proposal to write. A conference call with a different client. The techno gurus moved us all over to a new Exchange server for work mail. (Oh, that was a fun 2 hours of my day … moving e-mail, trying to understand how it was working while sleep deprived. What fun.)

I’m too tired to write creative things on my own. It’s just not happening right now. Maybe later after I go out with the “gaggle of people” (as Kathy has dubbed them) but not right now.

So here are some random thoughts on my web travels:
:: Jason has promised that he is going to FINALLY get the variable length blogrolls done tonight! I sure hope so – he’s promised them to me for a MONTH! The torture! I want a variable length blogroll! Hook me up!

:: Nicole is back! YEAH!!! I’ve missed Nicole bunches, and just the other day I was looking for her site – but it wasn’t online any more. What a treat to see it in my stats today!

:: Robyn and Todd met 10 years ago tomorrow. 7 years ago tomorrow he proposed to her. And the world hasn’t been the same ever since. Check out her touching tribute, which absolutely rocks if you ask me!

:: Jennifer and Sam close on their new house today & move in tomorrow!!! This is a good thing because now I can move to Boston, live in their basement (with it’s own private bath) and be Rachel’s nanny, plus they just had the best basement repair contractor working over there and I’m pretty sure the place is in a pretty good condition. I think Jennifer was trying to disuade me with that story about Rachel being bad at the mall yesterday. I’m not buying it … she is an absolute angel! I know better!

:: Speaking of couples, GeekGrrl and Milbertus are getting married! WHOO HOO! Congratulations you guys! (And a happy belated birthday to GeekGrrl!) I wish you nothing but the best!

My Mom sent this to me via e-mail earlier – during the month of October, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, CIGNA Foundation will donate $1 for every click on the pink ribbon on their site – up to $100,000 – to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. So Click the Pink!
