But My Horoscope Said…

Dear LaDonna, here is your Horoscope for May 17, 2002

Though you've been feeling especially strong physically over the past few days, Ladonna, today you might suddenly feel a little under the weather. You might even experience a little giddiness. This is nothing to worry about, but you do need to relax a little and take it easy. Don't try to exercise if you aren't feeling up to it. Get some rest. Even if you have to postpone some chores, you'll be better off in the long run.

Best wishes for today, from the Astrologers of http://www.astrocenter.com.
Sounds like a great plan to me. I need a nap.

License Plate Tags - How Hard Can It Be?

Am I the only one noticing that more and more people can't figure out how to put their license plate tags (the month/year expiration ones) on correctly? I don't know how it works in other states, but in Colorado they even give you a little picture on the envelope of how they're supposed to go. I've seen them on the wrong corners, opposite from they way they're supposed to be, and even TWO YEAR stickers and no expiration month. Dumbasses. I know it's my Virgo perfectionism that makes this bug me, but I see it more and more. I was at a stop light the other day and there were 3 cars in front of me with incorrect tags. It's pathetic.

I'm really close to launching my Movabletype weblog. I did something that totally screwed it up, but I think I've got it fixed now. As soon as I finish tweaking my template, it'll go live. Yay! I'm over my total Sims obsession (for now--wait until Hot Date is released for Mac at the end of the month), so I'm actually getting some other things done.

April Z, a co-anchor of the 850 koa morning news, annoys the crap out of me. She's a smart-ass who is always dogging on people . Yesterday, the new Rockies manager was a guest and he told the news crew right off the bat he was there to talk about the team. She wouldn't let go of the humidified balls thing that all the media have been harping on recently. He went off on her. It totally cracked me up. Now I know why they're doing better as a team. This is a no-nonsense guy who doesn't take crap from people.

Oprah is doing a show right now about girls' aggression and how they are mean to other girls. They make it sound like it's been a big secret that girls are horrible to each other. I learned that lesson a long time ago. That's why most of my good friends have been guys or tomboyish girls. I can't stand most women. Look at the way some of the women in the blog world treat each other. It's scary. My sister is a typical woman. Maybe that's why I can't stand her, either. I find most women to be petty, superficial, phony, two-faced, etc. I don't play like that.

Sims Junkie

Sorry about the lack of interest I've had in posting. I'm so sick of the same stuff day after day after day . . . .

Just as I feared, I became totally addicted to "The Sims." I've been so caught up in my Sims' lives, that I've been neglecting my own. *Tsk, Tsk* I was a little disturbed yesterday by a page I found with ways to kill off your Sims. Some of the objects available for download for your game are a little bizarre, too. People scare me.

Marcus and I finally got to sleep in our bed last night after two nights on the sofa bed (nothing like sleeping with a metal bar in your back!). Our bed has these two purple foam pads in it that cover the water tubes. They soaked up the majority of the water. Imagine trying to dry a king-sized 5-inch sponge. It took three days of being outside for those to dry out. They can't be damp when they go in the bed or they will mildew. Yuck. But it's all back together now and I had such a nice sleep last night. The bed is calling me again, but I'm resisting the urge to nap. I've got so much stuff to do.

It was soooo freaking cold this morning. Of course, the idiot manager at work left the swamp cooler on all night. It was so cold that I couldn't hardly move. The weather person said it was a record-breaking 23 degrees this morning when I went to work. Brrrr.

Popped Bed Tubes Make Huge Mess

This is not going to be a good day. I woke up in a really great mood, for once. I had plans for getting some things under control today. I decided to start off by really cleaning my bedroom. While taking the sheets off to wash, I noticed that the mattress didn't look right. I took the cover off to discover that one of the water tubes popped and now I'm having to soak up all the water. What a mess! *sigh*

Dog Pet Peeves About Humans

From Rev:
DOG PET PEEVES ABOUT HUMANS
  1. When you push me away in the middle of a perfectly good leg-humping.
  2. Blaming your farts on me...not funny.
  3. Yelling at me for barking...I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG !!
  4. How you naively believe that the stupid cat isn't all over everything while you're gone. (Have you noticed that your toothbrush tastes a little like cat butt?)
  5. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly who's walk is this anyway?
  6. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...stop it.
  7. Yelling at me for rubbing my butt on your carpet. Why'd you buy carpet?
  8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
  9. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.
  10. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed what my fur is for?
  11. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.
  12. When you pick up the crap piles in the yard. Do you realize how far behind schedule that puts me?
  13. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip," then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back.
  14. The sleight of hand, fake -fetch -throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
  15. Invisible fences. Why do you insist on screwing with us? To my knowledge, dogdom hadn't yet solved the visible fence problem!!!
