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!   :lol:

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!   :lol:

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!   :D

Glad to hear your Dad’s doing much better! :) And good on your Mum, too! :)

Freezer problems are a serious pain - we had one a while back - the day after we’d just filled it - lost a fortnight’s worth of frozen stuff because I completely forgot to check for ice buildup over time (I can be pretty oblivious when I don’t put my mind to it :D ) and it expanded just enough to push the door open. Because we’re on blacksoil, the house shifts minutely all the time - at this point it was at just enough of a minute angle to let the door fall all the way open. Next time we went to the freezer … gah! :?

Anyway, hope the next time you open your freezer door you guys get a frosty reception! ;)

Now enough of my blather … ! ;)

Sorry to hear that you had some freezer issues as well, David. I’m still fuming over our issue! It had nothing to do with the door being ajar….the motor or whatever you call it died. :cry: We need a whole new freezer!

EroSan - Thanks + You Rule = w00t!

If you could join one of those freecycle groups in your area, I bet someone has one that they could give away to you. I joined freecycle for my area on yahoo groups…I have used it 2 times already.

Thanks for all the links (again) :p

Going to check out toro now. All these applications are a little corn-fusin’ to me sometimes…but I try my best to follow your advice on what applications are best. You are like the ultimate beta tester…well not really BETA but…anyway. *love ya*
:D

:oops: Thanks, Sarah! :love:

I had joined Freecycle when I lived in Montana. It seemed like I was the only person giving junk away! :lol: I should try again here in Washington. Thanks for the suggestion! :D

It was funny that right as you mentioned the bouncing cup cakes, Huey Lewis & the News’ - Back In Time started playing on the stereo. The cakes were pretty much bouncing to the beat.
Heyyy! It’s great to hear that your Blog’s value went up from $4516.30 to $4516.32 after I started commenting here. :lol:
Good to hear both your parents’ situations on the upswing.
