Fletch Lives is on this morning ... I am so glad ... something has happened and my back has been killing me ... I didn't lift anything heavy and it hurts only on one side in the lower area ... I went to sleep at 2:30 and was up at 5:30 this morning crying I was in so much pain ... it is better now that I am not laying down ... but I think I might try to lie on the couch for a bit and enjoy Fletch ... Kris and Sean and I must have watched this movie 500 times ... it is just so great!!!!!!

it has been a couple of days since I last wrote ... I think it is because I have been spending very little time at the computer ... every morning this week David and I have gotten up ... gotten our stuff together ... gone to Home Depot and then to the condo to work ... so far we have stripped all the wallpaper in the dining room and kitchen, cleaned and sanded the walls ... spackled all the holes and the areas under the paper where they never painted ... tomorrow we will do some light sanding and prime the walls ...


once we moved the cabinets out of the kitchen we found out that is was just drywall under the wallpaper and that they hadn't put on a coat of paint ... we also found out that they put the flooring down around the cabinets so there was a big hole that had some really old flooring down and cement ... so today we bought new vinyl flooring which is just great ... it looks like white tile squares with grey grout and smaller black squares in the corners of the bigger white squares ... it is great and it matches the kitchen wonderfully ... since the cabinets are white

slowly people whose addresses I lost in my last computer crash are starting to write me ... tonight I got a letter from my friend Devin ... I haven't heard from him in ages ... and it was just a quick note that said he would write more later ... but I am so happy he wrote ... just this last weekend when I was cleaning out my file cabinet I found an age old address from him ... and was just wondering what he was up to ... so now I am looking forward to that longer letter later ... [some alliteration huh?]

This is a looser!!!

I was playing Reversi like I do often when I am bored and we were at the end of this game ... there is one space left on the board ... all the guy has to do is place his black disk there and the game is over and it will say "white wins" ... [i am white] ... and he doesn't ... cause that would mean he lost ... it sat there for almost 10 minutes ... I started doing other stuff just waiting ... instead he leaves the game ... that is still loosing ...


until I started playing this game with other people I didn't realize how many poor sports are out there ... half the time if I start to win the other person leaves the game ... it is so stupid ... cause I have been way far behind and the person I am playing is cocky ... and with smart planning I wind up winning.

David and I started working on the condo today ... we got all the border paper off in the dining room and all the paper off in the kitchen ... the glue is still on the walls in the kitchen so we need to get some more DIF gel and get to work on that ... but we did a sample patch and it all came right off ... the kitchen looks so much bigger without the wallpaper ... I am so excited to paint it ... but of course we need to sand ... spackle ... prime before sanding ... so it will be some time ... :)

but i must say ... no one has shown any interest in the music club lately ... it is just the 4 of us right now ... so please take a moment to check out Zsa Zsa Zsu

today i grew a pair

stated my mind

followed my feelings


and will now have plently of time to work on all the sites i have for customers right now

riddle me this one ... why was the job at Sports Club LA not good enough for me when I was offered that ... it was $3 an hour more ... full time and full benefits ... and it was using my computer skills ... that job I was told not to take ... but PB is a great job ... at part time ... with no benefits


my stomach is turning ... my head hurts ... and I am crying right now this is so upsetting to me


are my parents trying to sabotage my life ... make it so I will never be on my own ... is that why they went ahead with this condo even though David and I said we weren't ready ...


I am stressing out because one of my hosting clients wants their site up by today ... and I have soooooooooooooo much programming to do on it still ... I mean I know they can't be totally mad because some of it was just discussed yesterday ... but this is crazy ...


I am making myself fucking sick ...


the last time I worked at the mall ... it was in high school ... it was at The Limited ... and I quit after 4 hours ... :)

before going to bed I will say this ... I am quite impressed ... they consider spouse and same-sex partners to be immediate family ... it makes me happy to read that ... that includes medical insurance ... thank god the world is waking up ... :)

I feel bad for feeling so bitchy about my job ... but it is the way I feel ...


when I got my job in Vegas designing websites I felt like I was heading in the right direction ... then I got hired by a web hosting company in New York and I felt like I was going to make it on my own [real Mary Tyler Moore-ish] ... I had direction ... and purpose ... I finally fell in love with someone who respected me and treated me as their equal ... it was like all my hard work paid off ...


then David lost his job ... I lost my job ... the fucking US was attacked by lunatics ... jobs became scarce ... we moved in with my fricken parents ... and now I have a job equal to what I had in high school ... it is the biggest downward spiral ... and my mom is flipping me shit for not being happier about my job ... doesn't she understand how depressed it is making me ...


well I was supposed to read my employee handbook before work and since I have spent the last 5 hours working on a website for a customer ... I need to get to reading and some shut eye if I am going to make it to work by 10 AM ... :)

well I am now a happy employee of PB ... as I shuffled my way into the store today the manager clapped her hands and cheered across the store "aren't you so excited?" ... for a split second I saw myself screaming "excited? are you fucking kidding me ... I made more per hour at the job I had when I was 15 years old and that was 17 years ago" ... but held back ... put on my sappy smile ... and said "oh totally" ...


after 7 minutes I was finished filling out the paperwork I was told would take me 30 minutes ... and with employee handbook in hand I got my schedule ... I start tomorrow bright and early at 10 AM ...


it is pretty funny ... September 17, 2001 was my first official day as an unemployed person ... and now on September 17, 2002 I filled out my W2 for my new job ... kinda trippy huh?

wonderful ... I got the nerve up to call PB ... and the woman I need to speak to isn't in till 4 PM ... ack ... I had a feeling that would happen ...

I hardly slept last night while wrestling with this decision ... my mom has already reminded me that this week I can't work on Friday or Sunday ... [Friday I am signing the mortgage to the condo so she really means not Friday morning ... and Sunday is my brother's birthday brunch] ... but my mom just doesn't understand retail ... those are both big days ... and if I take this job this is how things are going to go ... and she doesn't do too well with things like this ...


both my parents suggested that I call today and be honest ... tell them that I need to find a full time job that offers benefits and I would be happy to take this job but if one becomes available I would have to take it ... and see what they say ... see if they would still hire me ... I just get nervous saying stuff like this ... which is why I didn't sleep ... I keep staring at her number ... I know I need to call ... I just don't want to ...


I think in all honesty even though I love the stuff at PB ... I don't want to work there ... a part of me ... as silly as this may be ... feels a little degraded ... I have technical skills ... that have earned me a lot of money in the past ... I am tired of being dependant on my parents ... I want a job that can get me out of this house ... and this isn't that job ... especially if I spend what little I make ... on stuff in the store ...

I am having a rather large dilemma tonight ... Pottery Barn called and I got the job ... part time ... and $12 an hour less than I used to make ... I am getting the job because they need people to work Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years ... so if I take the job and get offered something else it would be morally wrong to take a different job ... I would feel bad and it wouldn't be right ...


ya know what I hate the idea that I am going from a high paying sales job ... to a part time job at the mall ... I worked at the mall in high school ... up until this point in life each job I took was a better job or taught me something I would need for future jobs ...


I am just kinda depressed about it ... working part time will definitely not pay my rent ... but even worse working full time I wouldn't make enough to pay rent ... ack I have to make a decision by tomorrow morning ... shit who knows ... how can I be broke and turn down any job ... but then I feel wrong taking a job that I might quit cause I am offered a full time job with benefits ... as it stands right now my cobra plan runs out in March ... shit what to do what to do ...

My new pet seems to have left home ... this morning it was on the door jam which made it tricky going in and out ... but we went out and ran errands ... and now it is gone ... so I guess he went and found a new home ... he was fun while he lasted ... I guess tonight we can expect a whole new crop of moths ... :)

Larry David commenting on his new temporary teeth "Temporaries aren't supposed to look like Chicklets"

I laughed so fucking hard at that statement that I had to put the tape of the show in and watch it again ... it was toooooo damn funny ... this is one of the greatest shows ...


I must say I was a bit disappointed with The Soprano's ... I mean come on it hasn't been on for 18 months ... and it was just such an uneventful season premier ... I actually felt bored watching it ... I am hoping it gets better as it goes along ... I mean it is the second to the last season so they should give us some excitement ... otherwise we won't even miss the show ... :)

Here is my new pet ... the friendly Praying Mantis that has taken home outside my door ... and will hopefully start killing all the moths that gather at the door ... :)

With Carlos joining this morning we are up to 4 members in Zsa Zsa Zsu ... woohoo ... each time i get an email i get a bit more excited ... i can't wait to make my CD ... :)

David and I were just outside smoking a cig ... there have been a bunch of bugs out because it drizzled tonight ... so as we were standing there I thought I saw a slug on the wall and pointed it out to David when he said ... wow that is the biggest praying mantis I have ever seen ... my old roommate had one as a "pet" that was tiny and basically lived on one of his house plants ... this one outside is at least 6 inches long ... just as David was saying I don't think they fly this one spread wings and went from the wall to the window ... but it scared the shit out of me ... being so big ... I went to get the camera to take a picture from inside but he was gone from the window and I wasn't about to go back outside to snap a photo ...

I am happy to say there are now 3 of us in Zsa Zsa Zsu ... April sent me an email tonight ... I am getting so excited ... :)

woohoo I got my first member Melanie for the music club ... Zsa Zsa Zsu is becoming a reality ... I can hardly wait till it is time to make my mixed CD ... I was thinking of doing it last night but then realized it would feel like forever before I got to send it out ... so I just thought about it instead ... :)

I never realized how long it takes to build your computer back to how you like it ... but good news is I found the rainbow mouse pointer that I had years ago that I just loved and never seemed to find ... :)

so I am wondering ... the little quote generator in the top corner ... does anyone see the text too big to fit in the window ... see I never did but since I had to reinstall everything on the computer I also had to reinstall virtual java machine and now the text is big ... there are several quotes where I can't see all the words ... or who the quote is by ... just wondering if others see it this way too ... :)

OK I posted this as a response to Brandon's comment but thought I would put it in the blog too for those that don't check out the comments ...


Regarding the music club Zsa Zsa Zsu

So I was thinking about that ... and we could work something out for the people without burners ... if you have a CD player on your computer you could download a free MP3 ripper and make the MP3's of the songs you want to use ... send me blank CD-R's and I would burn your CD's for you ... then you could be part of the club ... anyone who wanted to do this I would be up for it ... it isn't like I have anything else to do ... :)

OK I am worried I won't find even 5 people to join the music club ... let alone 10 ... and I just think it is such a groovy idea ... I love being exposed to new music especially when I don't have to pay for it ... :) ... any time I go to visit Heather I copy all the CD's I can from her because she has such eclectic taste and I always find new things I love ... I mean eons ago it is how I learned I loved Cake and Beck ... besides she took me to my Phish concert after I had been following The Dead for years ... and she wasn't even a Dead fan ... she also took me to see George Clinton and the P Funk Band ...


so I sure hope people write to join ... and we get a groovy little group formed ...


by the way I got a new CD yesterday that I love ... the soundtrack to The Royal Tenenbaums :)

I am starting [or trying to start] a music club Zsa Zsa Zsu ... I read some blurb about it and think it is such a groovy idea ... 10 or so people get together ... make a mixed CD and then copy it for everyone in the group ... this way you get a group of new CD's ... learn about some new music ... you get fun mail for a while ... and then I will have all sorts of new music to listen to while working ... I sure hope I can find people that are interested ...

Lets do a quite update of the last 48 hours:


Wednesday ...

1 ... had trouble falling asleep Tuesday night [for no reason but sheer worry]

2 ... woke up early, joyful that nothing catastrophic happened to the world

3 ... David and I incorporated our web company and opened a corporate bank account

4 ... David got a call to set up an interview with the exact type of job he wants [interview Thursday]

5 ... while working on my family's website computer takes a fatal dive and loose EVERYTHING

Thursday ...

6 ... hang out in the car while David has a great interview

7 ... come home eat lunch and head out to pick up both contacts and new glasses

8 ... go to BestBuy to find some sort of reliable back-up product for my computer/David's 3 computers/3 servers ... find nothing so far

9 ... install XP pro with a semi-restore option

10 ... spend evening trying to get computer back to working order

I want to get this kitty bed for Kramer sooooo much ... beside it being totally cool looking ... like a piece of artwork ... it is made out of corrugated cardboard which he just LOVES ... but it is sooooooooo expensive ... $240 to be exact ... so I think I am going to figure out how to make it ...

if you want to see more of this woman's designs ... you can find them at epsdesign

I found the fridge i long to have ... You have got to check this out!!!

the helicopters and fighter jets are so loud ... I can now hear them in the house ... we were outside at sunset and there were some military planes flying so high you could only see them because the pink sun was reflecting off the metal ... it is weird out here tonight ...

oh I guess I kind of got my wish ... tomorrow we were supposed to have a meeting with our new clients ... and I was happy to be doing something on 9-11 and I kinda wished we were staying home for the day ... well they emailed and he has root canal work to get done and they are getting ready for the home show ... so they are going to call us the first week in October ... I am worried they are going to change their minds ... but hopefully not ... so now we are going to be here tomorrow ... I am just nervous ...

the planes around our house today makes my stomach hurt ... around 2 AM last night david and i were having a cig and we could hear fighter jets flying around ... today you can hear them all day long ... during times like this i don't really like living this close to Washington D.C.

OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) -- Recognizing that many Americans won't be in the mood to get sales calls, many of the nation's telemarketers plan to take the day off Wednesday on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks.


September 11 is a day for people to be with their families, said Perry Young, director of a telemarketing center in Omaha run by Call Solutions Inc. of Waukesha, Wisconsin.


"If I received a call at home on that day from somebody trying to sell me something, I would be personally offended," Young said.


The nation's largest privately held telemarketing company, DialAmerica Marketing Inc. of Mahwah, New Jersey, is giving the day off to its 8,500 outbound telemarketers around the country. For DialAmerica, that means tens of thousands of calls not being made.


"It's a way to be respectful that day," said Nancy Katz, DialAmerica director of corporate communications.


How many telemarketing calls will not get made is unclear. Kevin Brosnahan of the American Teleservices Association said the group does not have a reliable count of calls made daily by telemarketing companies.


Telemarketers make calls to conduct surveys and sell products and services for client companies in industries such as banking, magazine publishing, telecommunications and insurance. The industry generated about $668 billion in sales last year, Brosnahan said.

made a new desktop tonight ... and I am just loving the Saturday Night Fever theme ... woohoo for John Travolta ...


I am happy to report that CostCo took care of me today ... they are replacing the lenses in my glasses that they threw away ... they finally got in the trial contact lenses and they ordered me my new ones ... the woman that helped us was great ... she suggested replacing the lenses and was so great at taking care of everything ... I was ready to never go to CostCo optical again ... I am so happy they did all the right things because they are the greatest when it comes to cost ... and now I will have 2 pairs of glasses ... which is pretty groovy ...

What's a Military Family Worth?

by Rush Limbaugh

March 11, 2002


I think the vast differences in compensation between the victims of the September 11th casualty, and those who die serving the country in uniform, are profound. No one is really talking about it either because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11th. Well, I just can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.


If you lost a family member in the September 11th attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.


If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.


Keep in mind that some of the people that are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11th families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.


You see where this is going, don't you?


Folks, this is part and parcel of over fifty years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad.

Yea for Sex and the City ... boo that the season is over ... I am so beat up about the Charlotte ending ... I love the guy she is with ... he was on the TV show that no one but me remembers "It's Like ... You Know" ... and I loved him on that show and I love him as Charlotte's boyfriend ... but what is going to happen ...


now as far as Burger for Carrie ... he isn't her type ... and he isn't her opposite either ... I loved him in Office Space ... but hated him in The Practice ... so I have mixed feelings about him but he just doesn't seem right for Carrie ... who knows though ... who even knows when the next season will start ... :)


at least The Soprano's starts next week ... :)

excitement abounds in Lizzie's life ... I have a job interview at Pottery Barn monday ... woohoo

It is starting ... the year marking of 9-11 ... and I don't think I can take it ... David and I were leaving to get coffee and I was waiting upstairs for him ... my mom and grandmother were watching CNN and it was all 9-11 talking ... asking people where they were that day ... and I felt the tears welling up in my eyes ... my chest was hurting ... I called in sick that day ... just a matter of chance ... or I would have been in the city ... a few blocks from ground zero ... my coworkers that were unlucky enough to make it to work before the first plane hit were stuck there for almost 24 hours ... smelling the smoke ... dust coving the windows of the office ... I was lucky that day ... but I spent the day crying and watching the TV in disbelief ... on that day I couldn't even imagine a year going by ... and it has ... and the year marking just makes me scared ... I wish I could just side-step the day ...


I just realized David and I have an appointment on the 11th to pick out a table and meet with our new clients about their site ... I guess that will be better than staying in bed with the covers pull up over my head ...

we saw Air Force One helicopters fly overhead a little bit ago ... the prez coming home from his meeting ... they are pretty groovy copters ...

I just got my first Favorite Story submission ... and it is hysterical and how someone found out about Santa ... this site is going to be groovy!!

I have started a new website ... and I hope everyone that sees this post will stop by Favorite Story and submit their favorite story ... the idea came to me when everyone was here visiting for the 4th of July ... my family and David's family were together for the first time and everyone sat around at night telling stories ... it was great ... we laughed all weekend ... and I thought that would make a great site ... I saw the regrets only site and I thought ... how sad ... who wants to read about the upsetting things people will spend their life regretting ... why not read about the things that make people happy ... stories people love to share ... so that is how Favorite Story started ... I sure hope people start submitting their stories ... I think it is a fun idea ... :)

The other day I found this site on a Google search and just love their retro products ... I have always wanted a retro kitchen table but David and I have been wary about spending a bunch of money on a table from the 50's that could be falling apart ... and we just haven't ever had the money ... my brother gave us his old dining room table that I really don't like ... but it is a free table and I couldn't really say no ... and I would get flack if I did take some of our money and buy a new one ...


I was telling kris about the site and how they had a great product but the site was hard to navigate and their graphics were terrible ... she told me I should write to them and see if they were interested in a trade ... a table and chairs in exchange for a whole new website ... I figured what would I have to loose ... the worst they could say would be no ... so I sent them an e-mail on Tuesday and Wednesday they wrote me back and said they had a web designer that was redoing their site ...


but then this morning I got another e-mail from them that said they were interested in having me redo their site ... the web designer wrote and asked for some references of sites which I promptly sent and he wrote back and said they would like to do a trade ... they have two sites that need to be redone ... and they would trade me for a custom table and 6 chairs ... they are about an hour from us so David and I are driving up to their showroom on Wednesday to go over what they would like for their site and so we can pick out the table, chairs and materials we want ...


woohoo ... a great thing happened today ... I have been on a high all day ... we get the table we want ... without spending a cent ... and we get a new customer/reference for our web work ... I am soooooooooo excited ...

woohoo ... yesterday my new issue of BUST came in the mail ... 4 times a year there is a great day ... I love my BUST ... every woman out there should read this magazine ... and when I saw Beck was on the cover of the sex issue ... well a double woohoo to that ... I have to be careful and not read it all in one sitting ... because then I am all bummed out ... I did well with the Motherhood issue ... because just a week or two ago I realized I was rereading articles ... that works out perfect ... so if you don't already read BUST ... click on the picture above and check out their website ... read some of the articles posted ... and then rush out and get a copy ... and when you find you adore the magazine get a subscription ... that way we can make sure they stay in business for our own daughters to read ... :)

My boys are so cute ...

woohoo ... new desktop and a fight with my mom ... can't beat a morning like that ...

I wish I had enough money to buy the soundtrack for The Royal Tenenbaums ... it is such a beautiful soundtrack ... if anyone has it on MP3 please please let me know ...

This is what happens when David gets mad at the printer ... it was like a scene out of Office Space

:::warning::: :::warning::: :::warning:::

I am in a bad bad mood ... and I awoke this way

some fucking collection agency left a message on my machine first thing this morning that finished with "if I were you I would call within 3 hours" ... they didn't say who they were or what it was about but I have dodged collectors long enough ... so David called and said "if I were you I would watch your fucking mouth leaving messages like that on the machine" ... David is so funny when he is mad and yelling cause his New York accent is three times as strong and he gets loud and sounds quite menacing ...


when I spoke to the man that left the message I found he was in fact a woman ... I told her "look next week it will be a year since I lost my job ... I live in a room in my parents basement and have applied to well over 400 jobs it will be a cold day in hell before I pay off some old debt my ex wracked up when I can't even afford to buy my own food" ... and this bitch started yelling at me that the debt was accumulated before I lost my job and that I should grow up ... I yelled fuck you and hung up the phone ...


such a lovely way to wake up ... let me tell you ... see up until I worked in New York I never made enough money to file taxes ... so collectors lost track of me ... I file taxes the first year I am in NY and holy shit they come out of the woodworks ... this bill they are trying to collect is from 1998 ... that is when I cancelled the Best Buy card and stopped paying it ...


I think I want to take boxing lessons ... I have so much pent up rage I need to do something ... besides I could really use the workout

well my email has been fixed ... i don't know what was wrong ... i tested it on aol when someone from aol told me it wasn't working ... but i thought it was an aol thing cause when i sent it from one address of mine to another it worked fine ... but i now realize that sending it from one account to another on the same server didn't prove anything ... then someone not on aol this weekend told me the email was bouncing so i wrote tech support ... and whatever they did it is working now ... :)


not that i have been getting emails lately ... except for the exchanges from tech support i got one email from a comment i left on someone's blog ... and one email letting me know they weren't the person from my 8th grade class that i was looking for ... exciting weekend huh ... :)

I have found the only way I can get through chores I despise ... I must listen to music ... so since I have been putting off going to the grocery store for 3 days ... I loaded up my MP3 player ... grabbed my headphones ... and headed to Giant ... it probably would have been better to go yesterday because it appeared everyone woman was trying to get her husband out of the house today and the store was filled with what appeared to be a bunch of men that only go grocery shopping on holidays ... leaving their cart in the middle of the isle ... taking 20 minutes to figure out what package of ground beef to choose ... and my favorite was a guy who stood in front of the peanut butter with his cart for an entire song on my MP3 player and couldn't move for anyone ... there was a line of us when he finished just waiting to grab a jar ... but I had my music so I lip-synched down the isles and boogied here and there ... got myself a small coffee for the experience ... and got pretty much everything we need ... I usually grab a couple of things ... give up ... and have to go back ... I just hate hate hate grocery shopping ... David hates it too ... but since I am more even tempered than he I wind up going ... but I must say the music made it a bit better ...

Banana seat bikes were the coolest in 1978	I don't think blowing the ball in is a professional technique
I love my dad's shorts in this picture	Not sure what is on our face but boy the Shaun Cassidy t-shirt is the bomb
My brother's groovy room and I love his fat man costume	The Main Street Electrical Parade at Disneyland
Such a sweet little girl	So ahead of my time in a Moulin Rouge t-shirt
Check out the size of those rollers	Adventure Playground - A place filled with rusty nails and mud puddles
Adventure Playground - no way would this place survive law suits these days	My cousin Beth and my brother and I at my grandmothers
This idea was better in theory - save snowballs in the winter for the cousins from California for a summer snowball fight - we were covered in bruises - it was really hurling balls of ice at each other.
Hanging out at my grandmothers	Playing with a groovy antique camera
The carport in North Carolina and my mom showing off	Playing on equipment at the airport - don't think we would get away with this today
The glamour girl posing like my grandmother Lucy - or did I just start smoking at a really early age
This is Gertha - she raised my dad and loved my brother and I so much	I am not sure why everyone is making their face at me?
My uncle Judd and cousins Jennifer and Jon all staying at Lucy and Bill's
Visiting the statue of Liberty	Playing at the Woodmere pool
I really looked forward to my grandfather taking us to feed the ducks - it was always my favorite time while in Woodmere
Another of our front yard carnivals
I like this - a slide of us watching slides	The look on my brother's face is indicative of how we felt while taking pictures for our holiday card
That was my disco outfit that I got for Christmas - I wore that out I loved it so much	Rhinestone Cowboy - 'nuff said

another drizzling day of movies and scanning slides ... I should be happy my life is so simple at this moment ... :)


now if I could just get Starbucks delivery ... well then woohoo!!!!
