What a Deal!

Tonight was the awards ceremony for our Scout troop. It is always a potluck dinner, and I think Jason got a bit wound up from it. I’m blaming the desserts.

On the way home, as we pulled into the gas station, I looked at him and asked, “WHAT is your DEAL?!??”

His response: “Buy one, get one free?”

*snort* I couldn’t even keep a straight face, I was laughing so hard.

Blogomania Blogiversary…

I just discovered that I missed an important date last week. February 25th was the three year anniversary of Blogomania! Wow, three years. It actually doesn’t feel like it has been that long.

I have to thank everyone who hosts with us (close to 500 of you now!) and especially thank those of you that have been with us since the very beginning. Without all of you, Blogomania would not be what it is today.

Take a moment to check out the early Blogomaniacs: Amanita, Being Daddy, Bryan Kaplan, Cheryl Lambert, Global Sandbox, Julie and Brad, Kadyellebee, Mad Bull, MizDos, Neurotic Fishbowl, No Bra Required, Northwest Notes, Painfully Cool, PromoGuy, Struat.com, and Stupid Evil Bastard.

Ok, ok, I’m procrastinating. Back to work! (See what I mean? I’m going to starve to death before I get today’s project finished. *sigh*)

Bribing Myself…

I love working for myself. Self-employment? Best thing since sliced bread or Tivo. But some days it is just hard to get things done. I see others that seem to just crank out work without effort, and I just don’t get it. How do they do it?

I have to bribe myself. Right now, I must finish coding a page (with CSS … my eyes are on the verge of bleeding) before I will let myself stop for lunch. I keep setting mini-goals like that. No knitting until I have today’s project done. But sometimes it is so hard. Especially when you’re trying to code with a grumbling tummy.

I Want to Be A RollerGirl!

Yet another reason to add to my long list of reasons that Minnesota is cool … the Minnesota RollerGirls – Get Derby! I love their season opener poster – Badass Holly Hobby RollerGirl! How fabulous is that? [via Wendy]

Rain, Rain, and More Rain…

It’s raining right now, and I am amused because my big fat cat, Murphy, can’t stand the rain. I don’t recall it ever being an issue back in my old apartment, but ever since we moved into the house he goes and finds a cabinet to hide in when it rains. Right now he is pawing at the kitchen cabinets – but I’ve actually got them blocked off so he can’t get into them. Poor thing, he just wants to hide from the rain.

Am I the only one that owns a cat that is afraid of the rain? I’ve heard of dogs that are afraid of thunder, but never a cat.
