I've been obsessing about how to get my mood icons thing to work with Expression Engine. Like I've said in the past, I know just enough programming to get myself into trouble. I know what I wanted, I just didn't know how to do it. I already had a decent javascript array that I wrote to use with MT, but I didn't know how to call it into the EE configuration. I had put a all my html code into a custom weblog field dropdown, but the html characters were breaking it so that the choice wasn't saved if you went back to edit the post. I wanted to put the mood names into that dropdown and then pull the html code out of the array. Marcus just figured out how to do it for me, so Yay!!!!!! All I had to do was a flash intro for one of his sites. Now I can finally move onto something else!

I've been searching forever and finally found instructions on how to do extended (expanded, more and less) entries for Expression Engine. I just wasn't using the correct search terms, I guess. Anyway, here's the link for future reference.

I forgot to mention with this week's chaos that we went to the zoo last weekend. Pics are posted in the gallery. Excuse some of the blurry and/or dark ones. Kids kept bumping me as I was shooting. I'll lighten some of the dark ones later when I get a chance.

So, I made the huge mistake of taking the meds this morning on an empty stomach. Mixed with the fact that there was no bottled water at work this morning and being a little pissed about not all the dough being done while I was out the two days, it was a big mistake. I ended up hurling. Fun. It really ate up my insides and don't feel like doing that anytime soon again. I need to take them again because my face hurts like hell, but I haven't eaten yet and we're supposedly going to McDonald's for dinner, but Mike isn't here yet and I'm starving...WAH!

So, ever since Chris Pirillo used to write about Peet’s and ever since I found out from my friend that works at Starbucks that there is a Peet’s in town, I’ve been meaning to look it up. Here’s the address for future reference:

PEET’S CHERRY CREEK
2500 E. Second Avenue
Denver CO 80206

From the map, it sits on 2nd between Columbine and Josephine. I’ll have to check it out one day. Apparently, Peet’s taught Starbucks everything it knows.
