Stuffy nose. Temp 100.3. Cough. Congestion. Sore throat. Achy all over. If anyone saw the Mack truck that hit me, could you let me know if you got the license plate number? Meanwhile, I’m going back to bed.

The headache went away. The day was a LOT better then yesterday. And now Chelsey is here to visit – it’s been awhile since we last got together. Coming up? Kitten photos! Why? Because she needs YOU to help name her kittens! So stay tuned – kitty photos tomorrow! They are both boy kittens, so you can get in the creative mode. These poor kitties need YOUR help!

Photos of the new haircolor will be coming tomorrow too. I know, you’ve been waiting patiently. Thank you.

Know what sucks? Waking up with a headache. No, no, it’s not a hangover. I think all the tension just caught up with me and my neck is incredibly tight this morning. My jaw hurts. I have been grinding my teeth. I need a massage. (Which is not going to happen.) Oh well. Go vote someone off of the Big Blogger game. I get to nominate. You get to vote. Meanwhile, I’m going to take more Excedrin.

Top Republicans Break With Bush on Iraq Strategy (NYTimes, free subscription needed). Yeah, I bet Duhbya is needing some Excedrin right about now too.

A few notes about today:
:: I’m now a dark brown brunette. “Dark Ash Brown”, Loreal Preference 4A to be exact.
:: I was really happy with how the color turned out. More importantly I had several compliments on the color. Yeah! I needed that.
:: Work sucks. Yeah, that sums it up.
:: It’s flooding in Houston. Nowhere near my house.
:: I’m tired of the never-ending rain.
:: I’m so tired I’m falling asleep as I type this.
:: I’ll post more about today tomorrow.

Time to vote off one of the Big Blogger All-Star! players! Remember, the Public gets to pick who should win!

While surfing a few blogs lately I’ve noticed a trend, and it’s driving me crazy. The whole “see more” CSS thing is going from being handy to being overly abused. Seriously folks, you don’t need to set up *every* entry that way. I have come to your blog to read. I want to read without having to click “read more” on every single entry. Please? I don’t want to touch the mouse. I just want to read. If you are posting it, doesn’t it stand to reason that it’s worth saying? Then why hide it? Why do I have to hit the “read more” just to read a basic post? Do you do it because you think it makes your site look less cluttered? But … isn’t clutter what a blog is all about?

Don’t get me wrong. I think there is a time and a place for an extended entry. You have a particularly long post that you just want to offer a teaser too – great. Or you have a picture that you want to hide so that if someone is browsing at work your “rack photo” doesn’t pop up on their monitor, that’s wonderful. But do you have to do it for every single post? Am I the only person that this is bothering? I mean, you know …
