HILARY!!! YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE!!! *GRIN* Here I was, grumpy because it’s Tuesday & time to go back to work, but I stopped at the office to get my package that was waiting there first … and it totally made my day!!! I didn’t open it yet though, because I am a good girl, but I am still so excited! (Yes, I opened the box, but not the package itself) THANK YOU!!! And now … sniff … your birthday was just August 23 … We may have to do something about this.

How on earth did ds hendler figure me out? How did he know about my blog & the tv show? Damn. Now my cover is totally blown. I bet HBO will pull my time slot after the next season of “Sex in the City”. DAMN. So busted. No point in putting the webcam back online now. *sigh* (Yeah, it was going to be “NO Sex in the City” and my dull, no sex life would counter balance Samantha’s bed hopping.)

I have decided to put myself on an 18 month plan. When Jason finishes 5th grade, I want to move to St. Paul, Minnesota. Yep. I have had enough of H-Town. I have no ties to it, I hate the heat, I want to live by family. Heck, if I have a good year and make lots of commissions maybe I’ll go at the end of *this* school year. May, 2002. If I am frugal and work out a plan, it can be done. I may just put “MOVE” at the top of my wish list and put off the new couch, the new tv, and everything else. (No point in moving a new couch, when it would be easier to buy one there.) The only thing standing in my way is money. Isn’t that how it always goes? But I would want at least 2-3 months worth of salary in my pocket for the move. At least with so many family members in the area we should be able to stay with someone for a week or two while we look for a new place, I get a job, etc. I just read in my Franklin Planner that “A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline.” I can do it. I just have to work towards the goal.

Domesticat’s Guide on skinning your site. I may just get a wild and crazy hair and do this tonight. Oh. Wait. It says PHP. I won’t have PHP until I move to my new host, and I am not moving yet. UGH. Mannnnnn… Hmm. Wonder if I have to have PHP. Maybe all I need is some good old CSS. I think I found a javascript that lets you pick which CSS you are using. Thinking. I don’t know CSS. But I think I can learn, and I think it’s about time. Off to read!

I couldn’t resist. It has taken me about 10 years to get photos of myself that I actually like. I couldn’t take them down, I had to keep them. So I asked Mar if it was ok and she said it was … and voila! There they are. I feel so Fresh!

It’s been a pretty nice quiet day. I sat outside on the patio while it was raining and finished reading “Confessions of a Shopaholic” by Sophie Kinsella. It is similar to Bridget Jones’s Diary in some ways, but I actually liked it more I think. It was hysterically funny. I guess I can relate to her debt issues, especially after the past year or two. Anyways, the book is fab. V. fab.

Jason & I are watching “War Games” on DVD while I work on the site look. I added the Freshly Made design that Mar did for me. I pulled out links that were dead. I added things I had read & watched. I have had fun with it. Jason is really in to War Games right now. We are at the end scene where the computer is playing Tic-Tac-Toe. Funny, even though technology has advanced so much, this is still a cool movie. It is worth mentioning that I adore Matthew Broderick and I don’t think I have ever seen a movie with hi in it that I haven’t absolutely loved. Matter of fact, I want to get “Cable Guy” and “Addicted to Love” on DVD. Love those movies.

I am bummed though – while reading Shopaholic I was thinking I should go look and see if Changing Rooms or Trading Places was on TV. I was too into the book though, so I didn’t get up. Now I find out thanks to Melissa that there has been a marathon of them on, along with a Law & Order marathon. I *love* Law & Order. I set the Tivo to record the episode that is coming on at 8pm.
