Soon I will need to go through my sidebar again and rearrange things. Yes, some move to the “more” list, and some move to the main one. I love every site I read, but … I need info lately. And a good laugh. So if you give me those, I’ll love you. And I want to keep you listed where I can quickly and easily find you.

I have a horrible tendency to put shortcuts on the desktop instead of bookmarking sites. This does however force me to review them faster and figure out what I want to do with them. Here are some of the ones that made the desktop:
– Blogatelle – Kiss Me, You Fuel. I love Stacy’s latest design. I have a thing for the old graphics that remind me of turn of the century magazines.
– What Do I Know – I love the design of this site too. And it’s another Todd, so I bet he’s a cool guy! I want to read this site more. It’s been good so far.

(I’ll update this later. I have to go do Mom things for now…)

I mentioned earlier that Chelsey called. In the conversation we were talking about two kids that picked a fight with her son at school after PE last Friday. “Because they were playing Dodgeball, and Jordan is really good at Dodgeball, and he got them out. Some kids just hate the kids that are good at it.” That game is still LEGAL? It brought back flashbacks of some of the worst recesses and PE classes of my life. I HATED Dodgeball. With all of the other “politically correct” (aka stupid) things our country has outlawed, how can dodgeball be allowed? Yes, let’s line kids up as human targets and then hand another kid with a mighty powerful kick and amazing aim and a ball to HURL at the human targets. I remember getting hit in the stomach HARD with a dodgeball. Hurt like HELL. Sure, that ball might be soft, squishy and light weight, but when that sucker is flying at you at 1000 mph, it HURTS. So I ask again – why are they still allowed to play this game in school? Is there somewhere where I can sign a petition or something to get it outlawed once and for all?

Dodgeball. *shudder* My heart is racing just thinking about it. I can still see Carmen or Theresa there, in their cute little plaid uniform skirts, lining up the perfect kick – right at me. Eek!

Please note, Publius has moved … it can now be found at Excess Bloggage! (I think that is such a cool domain name!)

Reading Michele’s post about her Blogversary brought up mine. I knew my main tracker for this site will be 1 year old on February 7th. I had to take a moment to go back and look at my February, 2001 archives to see … February 2nd was the day that I finally started to post somewhat steadily, multiple times a day (or a few days of silence) here. There were earlier posts, but … they weren’t the same. So I would like to claim February as my “blogversary” month. Feel free to celebrate in whatever manner you see fit.

When you go to vote for me for the Anti-Bloggies (Most Updated, remember?) be sure to vote for Robyn for best comment tags, Todd for most caffeinated blogger, and BurningBird for color scheme most likely to cause seizures. Plus Hoopty for sore loser over the bloggies, since he is Alexis Carrington after all. (I am Susan Lucci however, just ask Michele.)

I haven’t been voting every hour quite exactly. Well, I got distracted by housework, making Jason do homework, and a phone call from Chelsey. This time I’m setting the timer on the stove.
