No, not on my computer. With me. I had somewhere I wanted to go today after I showered. Well, here I am, all shower fresh, and I can't remember where the hell it was I had intended to go! LAME!

Remember awhile back when all of those Star Trek inpirational posters were all over the net? It seems like everybody was linking to those! Anyway, it reminded me that I had seen an online poster maker and I set off to find it. I had meant to post the picture I made with it right away and totally spaced it out. In the process of cleaning crap off my hard drives, I came across this one that I had made of Skippy and Marcus. You can make one, too, with this handy little motivational poster maker.



Aren't they too cute? I just had to share!

I've written before about how I'd benefit from being able to relax and I feel I need to learn to meditate. I ran across a Self Help Book I'd like to get called Simone and Elvis: Why Act Like a Mouse When You're Really a Cat?

This beautifully illustrated book of fables and inspirational quotations ... where the reader will understand in a fun, entertaining and insightful way, how the mind often puts us in a negative space and how we can recognize that within us.

The site also features some free flash videos designed to help you relax. I tried those last night and I actually had the first good night's sleep I've had in awhile.

OK, in 45 minutes I'll be getting my Gilmore Girls fix. Woohoo! I suspect this will be the last season of that show. I wasn't real thrilled with last years' episodes. They turned Luke into kind of a jerk. I was none too happy about that.

I spent the afternoon with a former pizza coworker. I haven't seen her since the end of last year and even then it was only in passing. She teaches tap dance and needs some buttons made for her students. Yeah, Marcus and I have a button maker. If you need buttons for some occasion, let's talk! I feel kind of bad for her. She and her husband are in more house than they can afford, she's still struggling with the after effects of a hysterectomy that I didn't know she had and she can't get enough hours in at the pizza place to even cover her health insurance. Totally put my little unemployment problem into perspective. It also squelched that tiny, nagging voice in my head that keeps telling me to go back to pizza...it won't be that bad.

Why does iced tea seem to taste better from an actual glass than from a plastic cup?
