I'm Back
Blogger: So, wow, you're back.
Me: Yes, I am.
Blogger: Only after one day? What the heck happened?
Me: Not much HAPPENED, necessarily...(pregnant pause)
Blogger: But...?
Me: Well, for one thing, everytime they would get on my homepage, it would have this message asking me to switch to premium.
Blogger: That's not necessarily a bad thing. I have my own Premium membership, you know.
Me: Yes, but at least you don't bug me about upgrading.
Blogger: True.
Me: Also, it's harder to format my posts in Xanga.
Blogger: How is that?
Me: Well, here I can just highlight what I want to BOLD, and it will bold it for me.
Blogger: The less unneccesary typing the better, I say.
Me: Call me over-efficient.
Blogger: Okay.
Me: Plus, non-blogger people can leave comments to my posts.
Blogger: Yes, but it's FUNNER when you have an account.
Me: But it shouldn't be MANDATORY. And people can edit their comments here if they feel they said something out of line or they have some goofy spelling error or whatever.
Blogger: That is very convenient.
Me: And...you can RESPOND to posts here. ON YOUR OWN BLOG. How cool is that?
Blogger: Conversations ARE easier to follow when it is all on the same page. None of this switching around stuff. Especially when you have a slow internet connection.
Me: Again, call me over-efficient.
Blogger: The best thing is?
Me: Having a URL that's relatively easy to remember. None of those ampersands and stuff. Unless you want them.
Blogger: I guess you have to get used to Xanga sometimes.
Me: But I didn't want to.
Blogger: Well, welcome back, anyway.
Me: Thank you. It's good to be home. You feel like my favorite old T-shirt.
Blogger: Gee, thanks. :-P
Me: That's a GOOD THING!
Blogger: Well, trial separation or no, it's true we've been through a lot together in the past few months. And you DO have some fans. That's not all bad. Why did you leave to begin with?
Me: Well, I wanted to make some changes. Like, to my template and stuff. And my modules, whatever the Hades they are.
Blogger: You mean your sidebar?
Me: Yeah, that too. Plus I wanted a different color background. I like that purple color.
Blogger: But so many Xanga's are HARD TO READ, what with busy background stuff.
Me: Well, to be fair, so are many Bloggers.
Blogger: True. Now, make me one promise.
Me: What?
Blogger: Don't get all fangirly on me, now. I have enough of those without adding one more to the mix.
Me: When have I ever been fangirly?
Blogger: You wrote "HOTT!" on one of your recent blogs.
Me: No, I didn't! Did I? (scrolls down some...) Oh.
Blogger: Well, don't let it happen again. :-) I mean, I don't give a flying ampersand who you like, it's your business, but don't get all fangirly on me, promise?
Me: I promise.
Ampersand: I'm sad that I'm flying!
Me: Yes, I am.

Hmmmm...
Maybe I WILL continue to update this one, after all. I may try to do two blogs for awhile, and see how it goes.
I am quickly learning that Xanga is different from Blogger. For one thing, you're supposed to reply to a comment on THEIR blog, not your own. But what if the other person doesn't have a blog? How do you respond then? (And don't tell me "You don't"...I always believe in giving feedback. Or at least, most of the time. It makes people feel good.) Very odd.

Moving On Up...
Well, due to increasing technical difficulties, I have made the executive decision to move my blog.
Here is the new website
Don't worry...this one will remain up, but I won't update it.

More Weird Dreams
Well, yesterday I worked at Sonic. I actually got to carhop for awhile. No biggie. I did make a little money. Of course, it will be gone tomorrow, as per usual.
In other news, I had some mixed up dreams last night. That usually happens when I have gotten little sleep for several nights, then am rebounding. First, I dreamt I was back in college, and I was taking a synchronized swimming class with Mel G. and Misti. (Explain that to me. Just try.) Then I was having a garage sale at my house, and one of my old friends from college showed up, wanting to buy printer ribbon. Also, some random puppies showed up. Then I got a letter in the mail from some old high-school friends. Then Mom wanted me to buy pudding from the grocery store. See how weird my dreams are? More weird is what I remember from each one.

Starvation
Well, in case you haven't heard, they removed Terri Schiavo's feeding tube yesterday. Here is a story about it.
I have read several accounts of the whole story. And I have watched video of Terri. Now, there weren't a lot, but from what I can see, she is far from what I would consider a vegetable.
I have a nephew who is nine years old. He, like Terri, is severely brain-damaged. He isn't dependent on a feeding tube, but his diet is almost exclusively liquid. He can't even sit up by himself.
Yet he communicates. He laughs, cries, and smiles. He moves around to the best of his limited abilities. No one doubts that he is a living person. So is Terri.
The scary part is, my sister-in-law told me that she and my stepbrother would have to adopt my nephew when he turns 18, or he becomes a ward of the state. If these so-called "persistant vegetative state" laws go into effect, what if the state blocks the adoption? What is keeping the state from witholding food and drink from my nephew? Where do you draw the line?
Anyway, dying of starvation is a horrible way to go. According to accounts, it could take her up to two weeks to die. Two weeks of excrutiating starvation. Think about it.

Scrapbooking
Well, I have been in a Manic Scrapbooking Mode the last day or so. One of my old scrapbooks got ruined, so I had to transfer the pictures and stuff into a new book (with page protectors!) Fortunately, I was able to rescue most of the pictures in the old one, although I had to redo a lot of the pages. And I did a bunch of new ones as well. In particular, I did some from the New York trip and some others from the Melodrama from last year, and various parties.
One party was last January, when we had a girl's night at Pazzo's apartment. I was there, as were Mel G, Misti, Cindy, Pazzo, and Erin. We played Catchphrase (a favorite in these parts) and Imaginif. I remember that Misti wore her pig slippers. They have become world-renowned (or at least, renowned in our group).
Anyway, back on topic. Today I bought a box of 200 page protectors. That will make 400 pages. Much fun. Believe me, I will use them all. :-) I want to make two more scrapbooks: one of my childhood and one of college. That way, I will be able to get rid of a lot of the stuff cluttering my memory boxes.
Various updates:
Lindsay Cardinale got voted off American Idol. No big surprise there.
No Apprentice this week (they are having the Best Of show that serves as filler during March Madness).
OU beat Niagra. No surprise THERE.
Tonight I am going to the city to eat dinner with my Care Group. This will be the last one of this particular group. Next month, the groups get changed up. Which means I should be in a group with some new people (and a few from this group.)

Well, more cleaning ensues for today. My goal is to get my desk and my armoire completely cleaned out. That would be a dream at this point.
I also have a bunch of stuff I want to donate to the Salvation Army. I already have a box full of stuff in my car. I have several more bags of stuff as well. As I do more purging, I expect to find more. Ah, the life of a reformed packrat.
Last night I watched American Idol. Ryan Seacrest is HOTT!! Uhm...back on topic. Most of my favorites did pretty well, and most of my non-favorites...not so much. It will be interesting to see who gets voted out tonight. Survivor is on tonight as well. And tomorrow...MARCH MADNESS STARTS!!!!!!!!!

Technical Difficulties
I am so sorry about the lack of update thus far today. Blogger has been acting funny as of late, and I have been unable to update today. I don't even know if anyone will be able to see this post.
I think the Internet officially hates me. First my Hotmail gets finnicky, and now my blog. Sigh.

Weirdest Email Ever
Today I received the Weirdest Email Ever. It came from a guy named Multiplicand.
Vaarwel
Epigrams succeed where epics fail.
What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.
When you get to fifty-two food becomes more important than sex.
If we did not have such a thing as an airplane today, we would probably create something the size of N.A.S.A. to make one.
Life is made up of marble and mud.
When of a gossiping circle it was asked, What are they doing? The answer was, Swapping lies.
There is no limit to what a man can do or how far he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit.
I read the newspaper avidly. It is my one form of continuous fiction.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.The heart and benevolent and kind the most resembles God.
Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
The colleges, while they provide us with libraries, furnish no professors of books and I think no chair is so much needed.
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.
It is time that financial types developed a greater tolerance for imprecision, because that's the way the world is.To give is to receive...
Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself.
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.

Weekend
Wow. Oh my gosh, this weekend was so awesome. (Yes, I know I sound fan-girly.)
For one thing, I finally got to go shopping for new clothes. Mel G. and Misti helped me pick out some really nice stuff. I got a new pair of jeans, a pink camisole, a grey tank-top shirt, a couple of button-down shirts, a new frilly shirt with polka-dots, and a new blue shirt. Much fun. We also went with Leigh Ann, Craven and Memphis to lunch. We ate at Smokey Bones. It was my first time there, and I have heard a lot about it from my friends. I tried the chicken flatbread sandwich. Very tasty. I think I may get me a bag of donuts next time. I hear they are really good.
That evening was the talent show and chili cook-off. Leigh Ann, Mel G., Misti and I were in a couple of performances. One of them was "You're So Vain." Mel G. brought her guitar and pretended to play it during the song. Leigh Ann did the main part, and Misti and I pointed out to the audience (among other minor choreography). We all wore sparkly hats. Mine is still in my car. During this act, G wore hers over her eyes so as to look like a rocker.
The other song we did was "Respect". Again, Leigh Ann mouthed the lead part, and Misti, G. and I danced around her. I think everyone really liked it.
Some other people did acts, too. Mays did a rap that he made up about the Bible. Memphis played a couple of songs on his guitar. He is going to Nashville in May to try out for some contest. Awesome. Mel G. also played her flute.
The BSU from Old Miss was also in attendance, and they did a few songs. They were really, REALLY good. They also did a mini-concert on Sunday evening at church.
After that, Leigh Ann, G and I went to G's house and watched "Chasing Liberty." It was a really cute movie.
Sunday was church, then lunch at Chili's. After that I went to Books-a-Million for the first time. I bought me a new Bible to take to church with me. I also had a Reeses Frappe. It was very good. While I was there, I read "The Glorious Appearing." That is a very good book. I am wanting to read all of the Left Behind books. I own the first three, but I want to read them all.
Sunday night after church, we had Game Night at G's house. We played Imaginif and Catchphrase. Catchphrase, in particular, was a lot of fun. (suppresses evil laugh....)
Things to do tomorrow and Wednesday:
1.) Decide on books to take to the Maud retirement center
2.) Google "staff of life"
3.) Remove boxes from the upstairs hallway, donate 3 million pounds of stuff to the Salvation Army
4.) Finish cleaning out car, for crying out loud
5.) Finish filing taxes
Et cetera.
Today I finally got that turtle from Sonic (hi, Misti!), and I have it in my vehicle. Last night I was sorting through some stuff in my bedroom, and I found my Angel Kitty! I thought that thing was long gone. I put it on my shelf, next to my treasure box and my friends photo. :-)

The Friday Five
1) What was your favorite toy as a child?
I used to have a pink Care Bear...still have it, in fact. I brought it to show and tell so many times that it was banned as a result!
1a.) How about some others? I know that people were sick of that danged Care Bear!
Well, I did have a piano that I used to play. I would try to play all the keys at once. Alas, that did not go well.
2) What is your favorite toy now that you're "grown up"?
Probably my car CD player. I was so proud to have a CD player in my car when I first got it...it broke the first day I had it! Fortunately, I got it fixed (six months later)
3) What is the most dangerous toy you had growing up?
Those silly pop-beads that everyone and their brother (actually, sister) had. My sister once rammed one of those things up her nose. Another time, I almost choked on one. I never told anyone, though.
4) What is the most dangerous toy you have now?
My car.
Everyone I Know: AMEN!!!!
5) What one toy do you wish you had/have?
A brand new Humvee. I love those things.

I Got a Wienie Dog!
OK, not a real one. I ordered a Kid's Meal at Sonic for lunch today, and I got a weinie dog for the prize. He's so cute, too! I think his name is Coney.
In other news, I have to work at Sonic tonight. :-( At least I will only have to work for about four hours or maybe less. That way I won't kill certain people.
In store for this afternoon: continuation of Spring Clean 2005. I am really trying to get rid of stuff that I don't need anymore.
Ciao mein, noodle.

Last night after American Idol, I was craving cheddar peppers really bad. So I went to Sonic and ordered an order of cheddar peppers and a Kid's Meal. I wanted the little turtle, but I got the ferret instead.
Not much else has happened. Like I told someone on Sunday, my life is just working and sleeping recently, except on Sundays. Fortunately, the talent show is coming up, and I am involved in that. Also, I emailed Jay about the New York mission trip. He hasn't emailed me back, though. Maybe he's just really busy.
I haven't been feeling great, either. I have been trying to get rid of a cold for a week. Unfortunately, it usually takes me two weeks to get rid of it, so I have a week to go. Sigh.
Today I am gonna start organizing and all that fun crap. Yay.

Huh?
Here is a Bible Story that has confused me for years. I have read several interpretations of it, and I am still confused. Here is the story:
Matthew 15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Now, I understand that Jesus came for the Jews first, and that the Jews were supposed to share with the Gentiles. But I'm still somewhat confused.

Last night my church had a speaker from Jews for Jesus, Karol Joseph, come and speak. She talked about the Passover Seder and how each element represented Jesus Christ. In short, here are some of the elements:
Bitter root: The bitterness of being enslaved to our sins
Apple and nut mixture: The sweetness of redemption
Matzo: Unleavened bread, represent the sinlessness of Y'shua (Jesus)
(Stripes: For his stripes we are healed; Piercings: He was pierced for our transgressions)
The Three Matzos in the Sleeve: The Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit)
I love reading the Old Testament and hearing about Jewish traditions. I have actually been to a couple of Passover seders that the Baptist Student Union has put on. So I love hearing about these things. I am doing some research on the Internet about Messianic Jews. I want to hear more about Judaism.
In other news, I have a big week coming up, for more reasons than one.
Saturday at the Village Baptist Church, we are holding our annual Talent Show and Chili Cook-Off. Yours truly will be in a performance. So if you happen on this page and you live in Oklahoma City, please come.
Yesterday I went shopping at Gordmans with Leigh Ann and her mom. I bought me a new duster jacket. It is bright pink. I am wearing it to work. I also found a professional suit that I want to buy soon.

Cold
I've got a cold. Yecht. I think I need to get some Tylenol Cold. There's a nice drug store next store, so I should be able to find some. Even if it costs $7.95.
In other news, I turned in the paperwork on my vehicle. So I should be getting a check soon. Yay. That means that I will get to go clothes-shopping with the girls soon. I need some nice summer clothes, as all the ones I have are too casual for the library.
I think tonight I am just gonna stay in. I have church in the morning, and I want to be well-rested. Besides, I don't want to get any sicker than I already am.

Work
This will be a short post. I have been posting pretty early in the day, as I have had to work at Sonic this whole week.
Yesterday I actually filled my own brake fluid! I'm so thrilled about that. See, my brake light was staying on, even though I didn't have my emergency brake on. So I decided that maybe my brake fluid needed filled. And it did.
Soo today is Thursday. Which inevitably means HELL at Sonic. See, at our store we have $.99 Route 44's. And since I am on fountain and drive-thru...yes, you see where this is going. Major exhaustion. Ah, well. It's somewhat of a living.
Must get ready.

Experiences
You ever hear the statement, "Happiness is a warm puppy"?
Well, horror and disgust is a sixty-five-year-old man looking you up and down, winking at you, and asking you if you are married.

Sonic Stuff
Well, right now I am doing laundry. I am cleaning my uniform for Sonic, amongst other things. I could have had my Mom clean it, but I wouldn't get it back until Friday or so. :-) So I decided to do it myself, and if it gets hopelessly shrunk, oh well.
Speaking of Sonic, I saw the new Kids Meal toys. They are little pets in cages, and they are SOOOO cute. I just may have to purchase a meal so I can get a toy. :-) Misti got one the other night...it was a little turtle. It was so cute, I would have named it. :-)
Sonic's actually going pretty well, in other news. There is still one girl that gets on my nerves, but I rarely have to work with her. The thing is, though, she is gonna be promoted to manager. Sigh. The good news is that she's gonna be scrutinized more. So she won't be able to call co-workers "freak" like she did yesterday. (This is true!)
We are also advertising orange cream slushes and cool breezes. The cream slush is really good. I'm not a fan of pineapple, though, so I don't really like the cool breezes. (I'm not a company woman, in case you couldn't tell!)
