I just downloaded the coolest screensaver known to man! I love it so much…I just have to share it with you guys.
It’s called Word Clock…the name says it all. That’s exactly what it is.

Word Clock is a typographic screensaver for Mac OS X and Windows. It displays a fixed list of all numbers and words sufficient to express any possible date and time as a sentence. Word Clock displays time by highlighting appropriate words as each second passes.
There are two display modes; Linear and Rotary which has a nice relationship with traditional analogue clocks.

Fine typographic control is provided so you can change the typeface, leading, kerning and alignment. Position and resize the display however you like. Font size is determined automatically for the best fit.
Mine is black w/ pink…my favorites. :love:

Hooray for bouncing cupcake bullets!
Although I’ve had a pretty long day and am fairly tired, I’ve decided to stay up and get some stuff accomplished. This Random Randomness© is one of those things.
I’ve come across some really awesome stuff online lately! The first thing I want to tell you about is a Twitter application called Toro. It’s a brand new application, so it’s still in it’s development/beta phase. Both Casey and I have tried it, and I think she will agree when I say that it’s really freakin’ cool! Anything that can keep up with my babbling as well as Toro does must be pretty awesome!
I found out that the value of my blog has increased! It’s now worth $4,516.32. w00t! Isn’t that awesomely awesome? Then again, it doesn’t really matter. I don’t see anyone pounding on my door with a bag full of cash…begging to buy this thing!
Even if someone was pounding on my door wanting to buy this thing, I’d not sell it. I’m not a blog pimp, for cryin’ out loud! GOSH!
I know I’ve been talking a lot about Twitter…can’t help it. I love the thing. Anyway, if you’re a Mom and you like Twitter, you might consider joining Twitter Moms. I’ve not joined yet, but I’m seriously considering it.
We have an upright freezer in our garage. It’s basically a back-up freezer so we don’t have to go shopping as often. We just fill that sucker up with frozen food, and we’re good for a long time. Well, I sent my daugher into the freezer earlier this evening, and when she came back into the house she mentioned that there was water in the freezer.
Water? In the FREEZEr? Umm, yeah. So, I hauled my keister into the garage, flung the door of the freezer open, and discovered that the stupid thing is no longer freezing our food! :mad: I have absolutely no idea what happened, but it’s dead. Lonnie and I made about 23948732 trips from the garage into the house with our arms and hands full of the food that was in the freezer. Luckily, we discovered the problem before any of the food could go bad. Instead, I’ve been cooking all of this food! Once frozen food thaws, you can’t refreeze it…unless you enjoy getting violently ill. So yeah…I’m a tad less than thrilled about the whole thing.
Overheard.it pwns!
I need to remember to write a note to my daughter’s teacher before I get off of my computer…whenever that’ll be.
I put in an application with the Tag Society, but haven’t heard back from them yet. I hope I get accepted.
I have no idea why I hope I get accepted. I just do.
I’m going to the doctor again tomorrow…for my back/neck issues. I still have yet to find a regular doctor here in Vancouver. I tend to procrastinate being seen by doctors…I hate them.
I sold another text link ad to a company. I can’t say which one because I don’t want them to pull their ads…but I’m very excited about it! Now if I could just get my site to load at a normal speed again, I’d be totally content with it!
Speaking of my blog being so slow…I spoke with Lonnie about it a little while ago. He said that he thinks he’s just going to move it to a different server (again) and see what happens. He’s just gotta find the time to do it.
I’ve been sleeping on my stomach a lot lately. Not sure what that’s all about. I generally lay on my left side.
Ever wish you could be ordained and therefore be able to legally marry people, park in clergy spots, perform funerals…etc.??? Well, now you can! Believe it or not, it’s completely legal!
I spoke with my Dad on the phone earlier. He is doing so much better! He sounds like he’s back to his usual self…and he said he’s even back to his usual routine. I can’t tell you how relieved I was to hear that! I’ve been SO worried about him.
My upper lip keeps itching. Grrrr! I’m about ready to rip it off!
My Mom starts her new job on Monday. I’m really hoping it’ll be a job she likes and is happy with. When she’s not happy, I’m not happy.
I’m going to head over to a neato site I just found and fill out the registration form! Thanks again to everyone for being so patient with the lagging going on around here. You guys rule! ![]()


Just a quick note to apologize to you, my loyal readers. I am very aware that my site is lagging worse than a granny making her way across a sheet of ice with a broken hip and one blind eye.
I hate this fact, and am doing everything in my power to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do at this point.
What happened is that my site was moved to a brand spankin’ new server, and somewhere along the way something with my site went awry. Lucky me! No other site on the server is being all sluggish and slow like mine is, so we are now in the process of trying to determine what the source of said sluggishness is. In other words, we’re up to our eyebrows in technological BS!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate those of you who are sticking it out with me through this time. I know how frustrating it is to leave comments and whatnot…I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to do it. If I could give all of you a big bear hug, I most certainly would!
I will shut up now…I just wanted to explain what’s up. I can’t imagine it’ll take much longer to figure this issue out. So please…PLEASE continue to hang in there!
