Have I mentioned on here that I jacked up my legs stepping off a ladder wrong at work? Yeah, that's me...Miss Clutz. They were starting to feel better until the day before yesterday. I was walking and all of a sudden my left foot made a huge "pop" so loud Marcus heard it. *sigh* It hasn't wanted to pop back. I keep plunging my feet into ice baths, but the relief is over the minute my feet come out of the water. I'll do my best to stay off of them this weekend and hopefully that will help.

Can you believe how fast this year is flying by? Independence Day is a week away, people!

Sorry, the craft blog is not playing nice and that is why there has been no link yet. If it wasn't for the fact I really want to learn this beast called Wordpress, I'd just chuck it and do it with Expression Engine. If I don't get it up this weekend, I'll be doing just that.

I'm really tired right now. I'm thinking of going to take a nap. See, even though I stayed up well past 1 am this morning, my internal clock had me out of bed at 6:20. What sucked major monkey butt about that is I thought I was late for work and that my alarm hadn't gone off like earlier this week. 6:20 is when I need to be hitting the road. After rushing into the bathroom, it dawned on me that it was Saturday. D'oh! So, all that adrenaline had me wide awake. *sigh*

I twisted both my ankles when I stepped off a ladder wrong at work. I can't remember if it was late last week or early this week. All I know is, they are both super puffy and hurt like a mother. I can never remember if you're supposed to ice swelling or put heat on it. Google tells me ice, so I've got ice packs strapped to my ankles. I feel stupid, but if it helps get the swelling and pain down, I'll deal. I think I'll fill up a pan with ice water later and soak in it.

Hey, I got off my butt and joined Facebook a few days ago. Here's a link to my Facebook Profile if you want to be my friend.

Marcus is super cool. He bought me a license for that Delicious Library program I wrote about a bit ago. Even though he claims it is not the case, I think he really wanted to play with it and got tired of waiting for me to get it. Getting my books into it is going to be a long process. Most of mine are so old that scanning them doesn't bring up anything in Amazon's database. I'm having to type in the ISBN number and that usually brings up something close. Then being anal and perfectionist like I am, I'm searching Amazon and Google images for the same cover. So far I've got a couple that I'm either going to have to deal with the cover being different, or I'll have to scan my own book cover. We'll see.

OK, I'm off to work on Wordpress stuff and figure out how to make a better looking twitter badge. I hate that one you get from their site. Seriously, you only display 140 characters or something, so why is the box that freaking huge? I can't even change the text size. Lame!

I know I promised everybody a link to the craft blog on Sunday, but I ran into a few snags with the template I downloaded. First of all, I'm a little frustrated by coding hacks that don't know how to nest elements properly. Second, this whole WP way of doing things is throwing me a little. I'm used to having my whole index in one template and this modular thing is a little annoying. As soon as I've got it all figured out, then you guys will get a link. Sorry for the delay.

Laura has the greatest advice and tips about organizing. I was just over at Organizing Junkie and saw the most cool of gadgets. Marcus and I definitely need one of these:


She found it over at Organize-It and it's called the Power Station Recharging Center. It's a little unit where you can charge all you electronic devices in one spot and contain the cord mess that usually goes along with it. This would give us one central place to charge all of our phones and stuff instead of having them at various plugs all over the house! It's reasonably priced, too. I think I'll choose the black one, though, when I get one. It's way more techy looking.

Why can't I ever think of something practical like this?

I'm feeling so blessed for how good my life is right now.

It feels really good to have two good, happy days in a row for the weekend. I let myself stay up late last night, sleep in today, have a nice lunch out with Marcus, took an afternoon nap after grocery shopping, made a nice dinner and relaxed for the evening surfing the Internet.

I didn't stress about housework, money, where I live. I just let myself enjoy the day.
