Jason & I are watching the Sunday night movie on ABC as we always do. I didn’t care for the one tonight that much, “Princess of Thieves”. Maybe it is because I have been blogsurfing instead of paying attention to the movie. But I did get all giddy & excited when I saw a commercial announcing that “Making the Band” will return on April 13th! I was afraid they were never going to bring it back – last time I went to the website it didn’t have a return date listed. Ok, so you are all laughing now that I have confessed to watching that show. Well, I don’t care. It’s good. I am happy they are bringing it back. Wonder if I can program the TiVo now to pick it up. Probably not since it is a month away. I know, I’ll write it in my day planner! I can hardly wait!

I tried to order my pizza from Papa John’s online earlier, but the laptop needed to be rebooted so it kept crashing. Phoned in my order instead, and when it arrived it didn’t have the extra cheese on it. Pouting, I called them just to confirm I had ordered extra cheese and to let them know that it wasn’t on there. I asked if I could have credit for 1 topping next time I ordered, and instead they gave me credit for a large pizza! Cool! Gee, two times in two days. Proving again that it never hurts to ask!

Hey Naomi – this one is just for you. Now that you said it is “old” I keep seeing it all over the place. Maybe you are just ahead of the times? Or the rest of us are lame? Nah… that can’t be it. Oh well, I just had to add that link here for you.

Wow, deep thoughts on life, death, God and so forth here at Blog-O-Baubles. I read it the other day, and it stuck with me as so deep I had to read it again. And I just might return another time or two to read it again, it’s that good. I must say I agree – we should live for the here and now. Not for making more money or having more things, but for our friends and family – the things that truly matter most. Who ever lays on their death bed wishing they had made more money or bought more things? No one. You wish that you had had more time with the people that matter most. So take advantage of it now. You never know how much time have…

Memories I had forgotten all about came back to me thanks to Sea Poup, The Trixie Belden Friends Page – all of which I found through Sometimes I…. I think I read every single Trixie Belden book when I was younger. My mom turned me on to Trixie – she had read them when she was young. I have a young mom, she is only 20 years older then me. She was always great about buying me books, and when it came to Trixie she re-read them all when I was done with them. I think I am going to call her later and see if she can have my dad drop them off at my place so I can read them again. They are really good books!

I am having fun surfing blogs while Jason plays GranTurismo 2 on his PlayStation. Have I mentioned yet today how much I love my new PCMCIA card? Boy, I sure missed the cable modem the past week & a half.

I enjoyed my visit at The Ego Has Landed. Maybe you would too?

Still can’t get the webcam to work. The laptop knows it is there, but can’t seem to access it. Says that something else has control of it. Like it’s possessed. Now there is something to think about – my demon webcam. Tomorrow I will take it up to the office and see if maybe it is the cam itself.

I am not sure just how sad this is … first I saw Mr. T in an 800-collect commercial. Now I just saw him in a Lipton Stir & Serve commercial with Loni Anderson, Mary Lou Retton and George Harrison (with his perpetual tan). Just wondering if his career would have gone further if he had ever ditched those necklaces.

Many thanks to Laura for her tips on the webcam & the software. She even has the same cam – great minds think alike! *wink* Off to play with the cam and enjoy this fast connection!
