- Catdog?

Yeah, that's a cat bed - it even has a pouch for catnip on the bottom. It's not just that one either... he lies in the cat bed under the table in the dining room. Guess that's what happens when you have two cats and one dog - the dog ends up thinking he's a cat too... if he starts meowing, I'll definately have to get another dog.

- Cleaning for Company

The best way to get your house super clean is to have company over - not people that you have over all the time - like immediate family or good friends... but relatives. For some reason, we feel we need to impress relatives... especially ones we haven't seen in a while or ones that have never been to our house. I'm friggin pooped from all the cleaning and crap that I've done this week. I painted the damn shutters, porch supports and gutter drains. I feel like I need a week's rest already and our company hasn't even gotten here yet. Bleh.

- Tattoos

I finally did it... it's been a year since I got my lovely upside-down moon, so I finally got around to getting it changed a bit... it was done today so it's still irritated - I'll post a better picture once it heals and the colors are true. The white specs are stars - the red is lighter than you see in the picture - it's kind-of a fuschia like a sky scene.... well anyways, it doesn't look upside-down anymore, does it? The guy (dude that goes by PorkChop) said the faces were too dark to cover up without going super dark, so we went this way. Any feedback?

- Google Ads

Ok, if there's anyone out there that actually reads my blog, do me a favor and click on my Google Ads... I get paid if you click - so CLICK! :-) Especially if there's Yahoo ads or ads about Domain Registration. Have Fun!

- Taste Buds

I'm almost 26 and my taste buds are still "growing up". I was like the world's most finicky eater when I was a kid. I didn't like pizza - among everything else. I found out by accident a few months ago that I like spinach - or spinach dip at least. I've been trying different kinds of fish lately. Last night I had stuffed Salmon. Yummy. I'm sure part of the problem was that I wasn't exposed to many different types of food early in life... but seriously, things I tried even 10 years ago are starting to appeal to me. I've developed quite a taste for Walnuts, Pecans, and Almonds - cooked with sugar then salted - MMMMM! I've always hated any kind of nut. Well, I still don't like Peanuts - but I'm guessing that in another 10 years I will... peanut butter doesn't make me want to retch like it once did.

- Daylight Savings Time

Ok, file this one under "Things That Suck"... what is daylight savings time other than a royal pain in the ass? One of the reasons that I love my atomic clocks - I don't have to manually set them every six months. I want to change all the clocks in my house to atomic ones... and I have a lot of clocks. Now they're thinking of making it two months longer - well how does that work with the devices that are programmed to change automatically - like my VCR's? I basically thought that savings time was for farmers 60+ years ago. I didn't realize it served any practical purpose today... I guess I'm wrong, but I still think it sucks. Fox News Article.

- Win Customize

- bootskin and my logon screen with these free programs. WindowBlinds is not free, but if you're reading this, you're probably smart enough to know where to get it. Stardock makes lots of progs to customize your Windows experience. Just a sidenote, I started playing with these progs because my monitor is slowly dying. It's a lot easier to read with a dark background and white text. I had to go back to 1024x768 resolution. I'm trying to wait as long as I can before buying a new one. Yeah, I know, my eyesight is bad enough and this certainly isn't helping....
