A very happy birthday to my fave girl, Glenda – I hope you have a wicked cool time, and that this year brings you all the good things that you deserve!!!! Sending many hugs your way (they travel faster than Amazon, which is running late [as usual])!!

Microsoft makes bid on Yahoo
I was very surprised to see this story when I came in this morning. I’m not sure what I think of it yet, I just wanted to spread it around…

Very random thoughts on tonights tv and beverages
The whole time that I watched Supernatural, the same thought kept going through my head: the first rule of Satanic Book Club, is don’t talk about Satanic Book Club.
I tried the Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper, and I’ve never wanted to peel my tongue off more… I wonder if I can get that ten minutes that I spent gagging back.
I’m watching Lost right now – I think they gave too much away, if I could just freaking figure it out. I really don’t want to say much else, in case y’all haven’t seen it, but … well … WOW.
Ok gotta go to bed. Oh! forgot to tell you, I balanced to the penny at monthend. I love life!

More congratulations for Automattic and others…
Ok, just catching up to the Crunchies – I know, I know, it’s a week late.
Many congratulations to Automattic and Toni Schneider for the Crunchies that they won! I believe they deserve every accolade that the world wants to give them, but I might be biased…(then again, maybe not)
I was not surprised to see many of the services that I use constantly (congratulations to Twitter, Digg, Facebook, Kongregate, etc.) but I was really thrilled to hear about Meebo. I love this site, and have been using it daily for months. I haven’t had a single complaint about it, which is more than I could say for my beloved BlackBerry; it certainly has seamlessly kept me in contact with all my friends and family – and in style too! Congratulations, guys!
I would also like to thank Glenda, who’s running Twitter commentary and photos that made me feel like I was right there!

Congratulations to Automattic…
and to my brother, Matt, and all the other members of the company for all the hard work that has led you here. I went out and bought all the papers this morning and they’re now hanging on my cubicle (I’ll have to buy other copies for the house)
We’re so proud of you, and hope that this allows you to follow your dreams for WordPress!!
p.s. How long will the links to Photomatt work? Do I have to go back and change them????
p.p.s. Hi Donncha! I hope you’re enjoying Arizona – don’t freeze, and tell everyone hello for me!

In shock
I can’t believe that Heath Ledger is dead. I remember the first time that I saw him in Roar. I haven’t been this shocked since River Phoenix died.
My prayers go out to his friends and family, especially Michelle Williams, and their daughter. May he rest in peace.

End of Days…for my bet, that is
Hi folks! I have fulfilled my bet terms – 14 days of blogging, with only one false start 🙂 This does not mean, of course, that I have stopped blogging, but only that I am finished being required to blog every every day.
While I have been jokingly chafing at the bit about this requirement, I have really enjoyed sharing my thoughts with all of you, and have loved the reactions and support that y’all have given me. I’ll try to keep up a steady update schedule, better than I have been, certainly. I think that if I’ve learned anything, it’s that I should put my thoughts to paper rather than waiting for something to come up first.
That being said, I didn’t do much today. I got up late, chatted for a bit with folks before our out of town guests had to leave. we had some birthday cake (sugar free pineapple upside down cake from Mr. Natural) and then took the birthday boy to Comp USA and wandered around in there for a while. I had to get a micro SD card for my BlackBerry, and I ended up getting a bluetooth headset for the same. The card slots in the BB are tricky, so it took me a while to get the bloody thing to seat correctly, and, in the process, I knocked the SIM card out twice.
Now I’m just chilling out and watching 24. The bluetooth is set up, the micro-SD card is in, my tummy is full, and all is well with the world. I think I’m going to curl up with the kitty for a while and then probably fall asleep again for a long while. I actually have the day off tomorrow, and I really don’t need the sleep, but it’ll be so dreamy to snooze the day away….

Day 13 – nothing going on, but no time to do it in
I feel like I’ve been running ragged all day, but have gotten very little done.
Truthfully, I’ve gotten a lot done. I went to work @ my Saturday job. Then I went to the coffee shop twice, stopped by Jade’s work, picked up a friend @ the house, and ate lunch. After that, it was off to the regular job for a few minutes, then off to pick up Jade’s birthday cake. Finally, I got to go home for a few minutes, before heading on out to dinner @ the Greek Pita House in Pflugerville.
Now I get to relax finally, secure in the knowledge that I have only one day more of this blogging every day 😛 Love you, Matt!!!
I just hate having to do this when I have nothing to say. However I’ve enjoyed the exercise; I don’t want y’all to think that I’m bitter about this.
Anyway, have a big day again tomorrow, so I’ll let you know what what’s going on. Talk to you soon!!

Day 12 – Blatant misuse of a whiteboard
So I wrote this on my work white board, took a picture with my BB and promptly forgot about it.
Everyone was asking me how Matt’s birthday was, and I was wondering how they knew…so much for trying to transcend the ditzy blonde stereotype…

Say What? Day 11
I only have to remember to do this for 3 more days. Not that I mind chatting with you guys, but I can barely remember to but one foot in front of the other with any semblance of grace, much less to write a coherent post every day before midnight. (especially while trying to watch 24)
That being said, I had a very busy, if very uneventful day. I spent a lot of time coordinating the moving of various parts of my office and cleaning adhesive off of windows, desks and overhead cabinets. It all became super fun when the adhesive remover started melting the plastic knife that I was using.
I am looking forward to this weekend though, as I get to see some folks that I haven’t gotten to see in a while. Also, it’s Jade’s birthday party, so I get to give him his presents. I really love watching people open presents that I’ve picked up for them. I have a lot of fun picking things out for my friends and family, so it’s kind of like another present to me when they open them.
I’m only sorry that I wasn’t there where Matt opened his birthday presents this year. Mom said that she talked to him for a good while today (or yesterday?) and he said that he was really exited about them. I only got a quick IM conversation with him in which he was telling me how much he enjoyed them. Poor guy had to run directly to a meetup directly after I talked to him, so we didn’t get to chat for very long.
Well, I’m going to go go and turn my attention to the show again. I don’t want to miss Jack kick all these people’s asses…
Oh wait! I forgot to tell you that I saw a funny away message today: “When Jack Bauer files his taxes, he has to claim the whole world as dependents” Have a good one!!! XXOOXX
