• Today was an alright day, I guess. My kids had appointments with their general doctors, but I totally spaced ‘em out. Way to go, Mom! Now I need to reschedule the appointments. Hopefully they’ll be able to get ‘em in fairly soon!

• I’m drinking some Newman’s Own Lemonade right now. Pretty acidic, but very, very tasty! Too bad I don’t drink anymore. It’d be really good with some Tequila in it. Oh well. Drinking Tequila isn’t worth losing everything I have.    

• I’m using Microsoft Office OneNote© to write this. Lonnie talked me into it…and I’m thrilled he did. What happened was that a couple hours ago I had written an entire edition of Random Randomness©. I’d gotten about 3/4 of the way done when my Opera browser crashed.         Needless to say, I was very upset. I’d lost everything I had written. Lonnie talked me into firing up OneNote©. I’ve owned it forever, so I might as well use it, ya’ know? Besides, it saves my work as I go, so even if there’s a power outage, my shiznit will be saved!

• My Mom bought me some new acrylic nails from Sally Beauty Supply the other day. I can’t even tell you how much I love them!! They’re the perfect thickness, length, and the white area falls EXACTLY where I want it. I should take a picture in a bit.

• I’m SO happy that Yahoo! Messenger has stealth settings. I love those things!

• I almost forgot to mention that the nail glue my Mom got me from Sally is amazing, too! Holy crap! I swear you could glue the bumper on a car with that shiznit!   

• I’m listening to Alice In Chains now…again. I’m pretty sure they’ve continued to make music after the death of Layne Staley. I wouldn’t know…nor do I care. I find the thought alone to be verging on disrespectful and blasphemous.     :(     Layne Staley has a place in my heart that very, very few people get. Especially people I’ve never even met. As far as that goes, he is the only one who I can say that about. Long story…many emotions attached.

• Speaking of long and emotional stories, I’m considering writing the story of my ex who committed suicide. I mentioned it to a couple people….Conor being one of them. He thinks it’s a good idea and is anxious to read it. I don’t think he’s anxious to read it from a nosey point of view. I think it’s just so that he can gain a better understanding of what happened, what I’ve been through, and everything that goes with it. So yes…I’m about 85% certain that I will write the story. I’m also about 85% certain that I will post it for others to read. You never know - perhaps it can help someone somewhere.

• BTW - for those of you who don’t already know Conor, I highly suggest you change that fact. He may only be 13 years old chronologically, but I’m tellin’ ya’ - the kid’s a genius. He writes stories…but generally speaking, he’s so intelligent. He’s got great conversational skills and he’s just a funny guy. Add him to your list…get to know him. You won’t be missin’ out!    

• Oh goodie…I just shed a tear…or four. The song “Don’t Follow” by Alice In Chains yanks at my heart strings like you’d not believe.

• Sunnabiotch! The Build-A-Bear Workshop just emailed me again. They gotta leave me alone! I feel stalked…by bears! We made the mistake of building a bear there once about a year ago. Now we get weekly emails begging us to come back!   

• I don’t think I’m going to make Opera Gingerbread Men this year. I think I’m going to do cupcakes. Yeah…and decorate them all individually. Gingerbread men are just SUCH a pain in the keister. Really. I mean, everyone is worth it, but damn. That’s A LOT of work!

• I got new slippers. We really could not afford it, but they were only like ten bucks and I really needed new slippers. I adore them. They are pink, cozy, and perfect. My feet are totally stoked!

• Now I’m listening to “La Sexorcicisto” by White Zombie. I like this album quite a bit…makes me miss my bass. I’ve been missing my bass A LOT lately.

• My neck is hurting SO much right now. I hate this. Luckily, my doctor’s getting me in with a pain management clinic. I’m not sure how they help you manage it, but I’m up for whatever. I asked him about Accupuncture, but he said they wouldn’t do that. I’m thinking it’s probably mostly done with medications…which doesn’t make me happy.

• I guess I’ll shut up and go do that SEO learning now. I cannot wait to gain a new skill. I love feeling skilled! w00h00! Thanks for taking the time to read my shenanigans. I love you guys!
