I've got a lot I need to accomplish today.

When Marcus gets back from biking with Mike, we're heading over to Denver Mattress to see if there is anything there that can replace our crappy waterbed insert. I'm never owning a bed that requires water in it ever again! We also need to head over to get the last of our junk out of storage.

My blog is Going Pink for October in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness month, if I can get the darned template I'm working on finished. Hopefully I can concentrate on that this evening after dinner while the guys game. Hopefully my Veronica Mars season 1 discs come in the mail today and I can watch those while I code. I had to send the Firefly discs back. I just couldn't get into them. Maybe at a different point in my life I'll be in a mindset where I can try again.

I have to finish styling my expaning link list menus to save room in the sidebara nd hopefully speed up the site's load time.

I want to be the first to find all the PPP puzzle pieces. There's a $1000 prize at stake for the first one to assemble the pieces and post it on their blog. We all know how much I really need money right now!

Oh, crap...I have to go put Marcus' checks in the bank. Gotta go!

So, I totally forgot that I have one of those debit cards that pays rewards. Well, my account had built up $10 worth of rewards, so I had that deposited back into my account and now I'm off to WalMart for yeast infection medicine. I have such an exciting life, eh? Don't you wish you were me? LOL

Why do things go on sale right after you buy them?

I just bought Skippy a 50 lb bag of dog food last week and it goes on sale this week for $6 off. It's not like I couldn't waited for a sale because I had already let him go a day and half without food at all.

Not cool!

I know there are a lot of people out there who hate Google (the company). They hate how they sold out to China. They think they're too big. They have too much control or power. They hate how they run their search engine. They bitch about the adsense program. The list is huge. The fact is, if you don't like it, don't use it. There are still other options.

I use google products because they work. I've always used their search engine and have customized my search page with news, comics, calendars, etc. I love gmail. I have three accounts for different purposes: one for personal stuff, one for blog stuff and one for ebay and paypal stuff. I get all of those messages through my Thunderbird client on my home machine, but Google doesn't get grumpy with me if I don't physically log in every 30 days like my Lycos account does. I've started using their feed reader and their calendar service. I absolutely love the Google maps service.
