Mar sent me books! We bartered, thanks to her Barter, Baby! project. Whoo hoo! I got “Summer Sisters” by Judy Blume, “Angela’s Ashes” by Frank McCourt, and “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant. *Sweet!* And an FYI – if Mar says her books are in “Excellent” condition, she is NOT kidding! Wow! Mar, are you sure you even read these? *wink* I know she did, but they are in mint condition, the spines barely creased at all.
THANK YOU MAR!
Running MovableType? Want to make your page travel with PDA users? I posted instructions here and here but now Meryl has a nice article full of instructions: PDA Your Movable Type Blog.
I want to make a list like Promo has of all of the PDA-friendly blogs out there, so if you have one – let me know! (I know that Promo, Robyn, Todd, Meryl, Candi, Jennifer and Zal already have them… and Michele will be adding one soon!)
Jennifer, the currently not-working mom hooked me up this morning while holding my hand as I set up Power Phlogger. She ROCKS!!! Thanks Jennifer!
It’s time again for Promo’s Monday Mission! Come on y’all, join in!
1. What was the most romantic moment you remember from last year?
ROFLMAO … uh, yeah. Ok. The year kicked off with breaking up with the IO. I did attempt to get back together with him, and while we went out and there was a moment or two I could consider romantic, I refuse. Know what’s funny? Now that he has found the blog I don’t miss him. At all. Isn’t that weird? I was still missing him often until then, now … I think of him in passing, without much of a missing him thought. Not in the lovesick puppy dog way. YEAH ME!
2. What is your most recent obsession?
Techno blogs. I am getting back into my gadget addictions, downloading and installing goodies. I blame it on Chris Pirillo and the daily Lockergnome newsletters. He’s pimpin’ technology to me. Other then that it’s my decluttering mission. I like my pretty clean house.
3. One of my favorite things in the world is to watch the sunset/sunrise, although rainbows are a close second. Tell me about your favorite natural occourance?
A nice walk in a forest, along a river or a stream. Sunny days where the temperature is just right. A field full of wildflowers.
4. I’ve always been told bad things come in “threes.” I really don’t believe in the rule of the “threes,” but have you had some experiences where it has proved to be true?
I have had good things come in “threes” – I won $100 in the lottery after only having $2 in my wallet and buying 2 “Quick-Pick” tickets; I was offered my job at the law firm that I used to work at (after months of job hunting and almost 3 months there as a temp-to-hire); I went to the firm’s 75th anniversary party and won one of the grand prizes, 2 round trip tickets on Continental. All between Wednesday & Saturday of the same week.
5. But then again, I am usually a positive person, takes a lot to “p” me off. Let’s talk about good things for a sec. What’s the most recent “good news” you have heard?
Happy clients. Lots of happy clients. Including the ones I went to see in Atlanta last week.
6. I’m not double-jointed and I can’t stop a fan-blade with my tongue. But I can curl my tongue as well as cross just one eye. Do you have any stupid human tricks?
I can curl my tongue both ways; I can roll my tongue up into an “o”; I can cross both eyes. I can read a book upside down, almost as fast as right-side up. I can amuse people, but I don’t know if that’s quite a “stupid human trick”.
7. I have to say, that really was a good movie. It is pretty early still, I think there are some things going on downtown. Anything strike your fancy?
How about a nice stroll downtown, see the sights, watch the freaks …
BONUS: Who can take a sunrise…sprinkle it with dew?
THE CANDY MAN CAN!!! (Yeah! I finally knew one! Willy Wonka ROCKS!)
I have added links to a lot more photos in my Golden Globe recaps. That said, these photos of Cameron Diaz just seemed like it had to be mentioned on it’s own. She is one of those “hit or miss” people if you ask me. Sometimes she can be truly gorgeous. Then there are moments like last night. What’s up with that dress? I swear it’s just a towel wrapped around her. An ugly towel. Why is there an embroidered flower in the middle of it? And that jacket??? Cameron, did you forget that the Golden Globes were last night? Did you have to rummage through your closet to find something, anything to wear? Could you have at least picked something that matched? Egads, woman! Buy a mirror with all that money you have!
