I took a much needed blogging break yesterday. I spent the afternoon helping Marcus organize his office at work. I designed my Christmas card in my head, so I'm going to making those over the next couple of days so I can get them in the mail by early next week. If you want one, just send me your snail mail addy via email. Then I painted some more wooden balls for my crocheted popcorn garland. As soon as I do some posting here, I'm going to crochet while watching Ugly Betty on ABC's website. Since we lost our East/West coast stations from Dish Network on Thursday (all thanks to FOX, we later found out), there are just some shows I'm not going to be able to watch if they don't have them on their web sites. The senate has a bill to allow some "distant channel" services for some satellite subscribers, but even if it passes, Marcus and I won't be eligible. *sigh* That sucks. I really liked having the New York affiliates. Oh, well. We went ahead and downgraded out satellite package, as well. If only we could get rid of shopping channels, public interest and religious stations. That is over 30 channels right there that I will NEVER watch. What a waste. I really wish they would offer an a la carte type system, like pick 50 channels YOU WANT for $39.95 or something. Maybe someday.

Tomorrow is the first day of December...don't forget to say "Rabbit Rabbit" as the first thing you say tomorrow!

Wow, look at that — only two days this month didn't get posts of any kind.

Dang, tomorrow is the last day of November! This month just flew by. Except for today. A 65 minute drive to get 18 miles to work just sucks. Stupid snow. Stupid people who don't know how to drive in snow.

Since I'm freakin' freezing (it's 13°F and quickly dropping) and I feel like doing nothing besides sitting on this couch wrapped up in my quilt, I present links to cool, stupid or interesting stuff I've been meaning to post and just haven't yet:

A Real Simpsons House — don't know why, but it's kind of cool.
Adultitis — how to find out if you suffer from it and how to treat it.

Well, shoot...I had more than that on my brain when I started this post. The dog keeping me awake all night has messed with my brain. I'll add more later as I think of them.

Hey, have you seen one of the newest Apple commercials? Check out the "Meant for Work" one. Poor PC is lamenting having to play video games and play music. He's been plastered with all sorts of stickers. Just like my friend Mike's PC! It made me giggle.

It's going to be yucky cold most of next week. Looks like tomorrow is going to be the warmest day of the week. Boooo! I am so not looking forward to this. I absolutely hate being cold. Figures that there is snow in the forecast when I wanted Marcus to help me get the outside lights up next weekend. *sigh* Oh, well.
