Sensible Opera?

Just an interesting quote I read today.

"No opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible."
- W. H. Auden

O Tannenbaum

We were in Hobby Lobby today and they had out Christmas stuff! Holy tinsel, it's only June. Christmas stuff out before school supplies!!! And Kristen could have sworn they were playing Christmas music in the background. What is this overcommercialized holiday coming to ???

Template Experiments

I'm trying to find a template that has an easier to read background. Eventually I'll be able to create my own, as soon as I learn all this html garbage. :-) So you'll probably notice some changes...

FuN wEbsiTeS

Some fun websites I've run across...

Want to dress up your blog... go to this ⇒ website ⇐ and get some fun html symbols, like ♥ and ™ and ⌡.

Like Napoleon Dynamite? Want to be up on the most quoted movie of the year? Here you go.

And for you artists and/or Flash enthusiasts out there, this is a really cool site.

Enjoy!

Seven States left to Visit

I found a fun website, Visiting States, that gives you a satisfactory visual of all the states you have visited. I only have 7 states left: Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, Maine, North Dakota, Alaska and Hawaii. There is also a link for you world travelers.

Yes, I've been to everyone of those red states. And you know, most of those really ARE red states!

blankiousus

I suffer from a seemingly common disease called blankiousus... It occurs everytime I open a new blog entry page. I have all these wonderful thoughts floating around in my brain (all that empty space... there's plenty of room to float!) and then when I am faced with a blank page-- BLANK goes my brain.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

I will try to do better, RG! Thanks for the prodding. Nice to know someone out there cares...

Ya Know...

You know... it's been too long since the last blog if you can't remember your login name and password (and no, it's not the same as my blog name.)

You know... SOMEBODY is paying attention when you get "you need to write more" comments. (thanks nephew!)

You know... you're getting old when you can't stay up late at girl's camp anymore. And the mattresses hurt your back. (It was a wimpy camp with cabins this year... I dubbed it Camp Marriott. We actually had air conditioned cabins! But of course the a/c was broken in our cabin.)

You know... you're not getting that old when you allow a sixteen year old to put braids in your hair at camp.

You know... life is still throwing some fun at you when you get to learn something new like SAILING! I absolutely loved it. And I might mention, did quite well, and didn't get seasick.

You know... friends still care when they email to ask why the heck haven't you been answering the phone.

You know... well, you know.

"If you're asking whether I intentionally mess up my hair, no, I don't. And certain things, like my freckles, they're just there. I don't do anything consciously. I suppose I could get contact lenses. I suppose I could comb my hair more often." --Bill Gates
