Wow. I am speechless again, for what seems like the thousandth time since September 11th, after reading Rossi Rant and about her working at “Ground Zero” in New York City. The strength of every person there keeps amazing me.

As Kymberlie will tell you, I am known for bookmarking shortcuts on my desktop and just leaving them there. So I decided I would list all the shortcuts off of my desktop here & clean them off of the desktop. Nice for me to have them handy to come back to later. Enjoy!

one.point.zero – Blogging in Brussels, Belgium – Web design, Music, and more, sturtle.com, BluishOrange (She’s here in Houston!), Pixels in Time, Publius (Todd’s already over there “On my Monitor”), SendAmerica, Fine American Gifts, Assessing Your Life in the Face of Disaster, New Advent – all sorts of information on Catholicism, World New York, I Love Big Brother, Provider Search for Ameriplan – the vision & dental supplement insurance plan I have so I can buy cool glasses, RetroCrush Patriotic Pictures, SincerelyFun (Not sure where that one came from…), Time for Your Meds – another one that is already “On my Monitor” but I should point out that today is Tracy’s 13th anniversary of sobriety – WAY TO GO!, Flag Graphics by Kristine, a PHP Tutorial by Zalary, UltraSparky – one of the NY blogs, Caterina.net – a rockin’ good blog, I Bet You Like to Watch – another NY blog, PC World – Carnivore Dispatched to Sniff Out Terrorists – and our civil liberties take a step backwards, A Day Late and a Dollar Short, megan[dot]scatterbrain, Heart of the Dragon, Openwire, More Than This, MSNBC: Unimaginable Disaster, Next Door, MSNBC: Business Fire May be Hate Crime, Light of Freedom, Better Homes & Gardens Ribbon of Unity, Better Homes & Gardens: Download the Ribbon, A Photographer Stands by His Work – the photo of the face in the smoke at the WTC fire, JD’s Blog – entry titled “A College Friend Survives the Attack” – main page has great content too, Broadway Stars – another NY blog.

I think that’s enough desktop cleaning for tonight. Believe it or not, there are still more links there. I’ll deal with them later, right now I have Mom duties to tend to.

Don’t you just hate it when your post disappears for some reason? And wham, you have to rewrite it? I hate that.

I have been cleaning all day. We have lived here for almost a year, and there are still boxes. I can’t take it any more, and if that stuff has been in a box for a year and I haven’t missed it, I don’t need it anyways! I went to Wal-Mart and got a new shelf for my bedroom closet so I could organize my sweaters and other goodies. Decided I need a break though, so I don’t get burned out! I would like to go through a box a night when I am home, tossing almost everything. I have to go through them though, because in the past I have been notarious for putting things that I *need* to save in with junk. Ugh.

I forgot to mention yesterday – if you didn’t already, check out the cover of the Village Voice. It was such a touching photo – focused on the sadness, but still a beautiful photo. Last night I watched 28 Days (which I thought was pretty good, worth a watch, but nothing fabulous) and like Fat Seanny, I was breathless for a second or two when the scene came up where they are driving in to the city and you see the skyline with the prominent World Trade Center Towers – and to think, they are not there any more… It’s still so surreal.

I wish I knew how to sew, I would participate in the USA Quilt. Maybe I will see if my mom will make a square for our family.

I had better get back to work – I have a bunch of boxes to take out to the trash, and then I need to set up my “regular” computer. I brought it home last week, new hard drive, more RAM, all ready to go! I have to post more pictures from this weekend, and then have to finish up my Freshly Made design for Erika. Whew! Lots to do! But of course it feels good every time I get to check something off of my “To Do” list!

I love what the Village Voice has to say about What Falwell Really Meant. Classic… (Link thanks to Michele.)
