I got this from Zoot who got it from Janet who didn’t tell Zoot to do it, who didn’t tell *me* to do it. But here I am, doing it anyway. Am I a big fat loser or what?

7 things I plan to do before I die:

1. At least 1 more kid, people, PLEASE!
2. Visit New Zealand and take the LOTR tour.
3. Go on at least one cruise, I don’t care where (though I’d prefer Mediterranean or Alaskan)
4. Maybe think about attempting to finish a novel for publication
5. Take H (and whatever kids we manage to have, if any) to Disney World.
6. Go to Hawaii. Veg out.
7. Take a trip around Europe, maybe doing the Band of Brothers tour.

7 things I can do:

1. Taco tongue! No one else in this family can do it (except maybe H, once he hones his talents)
2. Dink around in php and css until something resembling a decent looking blog arises from the ashes.
3. Quote obscure movies with my husband, so obscure half of them I don’t remember which movie they’re from anymore
4. Take an average song and “rewrite” it to be about our pets (such as “The Stinky Cat” to the tune of the “Facts of Life” theme song).
5. Kill houseplants. Truly, I’m a master.
6. I can make my formerly busted right ankle pop whenever I rotate it.
7. I can bore hundreds (tens?) of people who dare to read my blog.

7 things I cannot do:

1. Drive a stick-shift (yeah, me too, Zoot)
2. Iron (me too, Zoot and Janet)
3. Organize myself to make things just the slightest bit easier.
4. Drive the speed limit most times.
5. Go a day without at least checking my email.
6. Back the big van out of the garage when the little van is parked on the other side of the driveway
7. Have a baby, it would seem

7 things that attract me to the opposite sex:

1. Eyes… expressive, kind eyes. *sigh*
2. Sense of humor (me too, Zoot and Janet)
3. Self Assurance
4. Great with kids (like Zoot, I’m not really a kid person but its so nice to see him be so *easy* around them…and yes, I’m talking about K!)
5. Protectiveness (but not over-protectiveness)
6. Capability
7. Strength (but not necessarily bulging biceps and pecs)

7 things I say most often:

1. I’m so teepy! (teepy=sleepy)
2. Tiger!!! (or… Cinder!!! Damn cats)
3. Get the kitty! (said very quickly and quietly to the dog…such a good dog)
4. Too bad. (said whenever H bemoans his fate)
5. Can you do me a flavor (flavor=favor, said to either K or H)?
6. OMG, I hate this computer (referring to either the laptop or the desktop, I’m not choosy).
7. You’re my bestest boy in the whole wide world (said to H)

Today was one of those days that I seriously should have stayed in bed. SERIOUSLY. Thankfully, nothing catastrophic, but today was filled with the sort of shit that makes you want to jump out a window before 2 o’clock.

Yeah, one of those days.

First off, my hosting was due. I’d been paying for this one package, that they don’t offer any longer. I wasn’t even close to using all the resources and the next lower package was $10 cheaper so I considered downgrading. But then I saw there was a $10 downgrade fee. So I was going to have to pay the same amount this month anyhow. Hell, if I was going to have to do that, why not just upgrade to one of the reseller hosting accounts for the same $? Sure, seemed like a good idea at the time…

But that was before I realized that meant my site needed to move, and therefore required different domain name servers. Which meant that the domain name would need to propogate. Which would mean that for an indeterminite amount of time, my site would be down, as would all the sites I host. And not only that, but the wonderful people hosted on my site who had their own domain names would have to change their domain name servers too and wait for their domain names to propogate.

You see what I’m getting at here?

Plus, add into that the accidental f’ing up of one of my forums so I had to reinstall it and the learning curve for a reseller account that’s a little more involved than I had hoped and you’ve got a great day. And I’ve just given you the highlights!

Tomorrow is another day, tomorrow is another day, tomorrow is another day….

List the top 100 songs from the year that you graduated high school. (You can find lists at Music Outfitters.) Bold the ones you actually like. Pick a favorite. Underline that favorite. And strikethrough the ones you loathe. Italicize the ones you consider to be guilty pleasures. I’m going one step further and rating these soley on how I felt about them at the time, and not now. Thankfully, for the most part, my opinions remain the same.

I wanted to share with you all a little project I got SUCKED INTO this last weekend. I know Blogs-About hosting has a CafePress site with some goodies that say, “I am so blogging this” but, to be honest, they weren’t really to my taste. I wanted something a little more fun, a little more colorful. So I thought, I’ll make a couple of tshirts and a license plate frame or something.

WHAMO!

Before long it became mousepads and stickers and magnets… and it wasn’t just “I am so blogging this”, but other things as well! Plainly put, I just couldn’t stop. I kept having ideas, and with my PSP open RIGHT THERE, what was to stop me from making up just one more graphic, doing one more shirt? It’s insanity, people! (pst! I’m taking suggestions too, if you have any!)

So if you’re curious (and who wouldn’t be by now?) go have a look. Revel in my ultimate geekyness. I don’t expect anyone will want to actually buy this stuff other than me, because I am an enormous dork. And I desperately need to have that license plate frame.
