Okay, so if you've been checking in without a reader yesterday and today, you may see some funky things happening. Like that hot chick up there. In my header. Because, y'know, I'm bored with the template and I am trying to be a little bit more, shall we say.....sexy.
(And with the itching, I need all the help I can get)
(And I think that I may come home next Monday with that hair color. Whattya think?)
(And is that enough with the parentheses?)
So, while I'm rearranging the furniture, (which someone will surely trip over), you can ooh and ahh over my new purchase:
The shiny-ness will blind you. But it can actually be used for file folders - like a tote. (Shhhh. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, so don't go blabbing to Mr. Hot that I bought another purse.)
Oh, and here's my take on casual Friday:
Have I bored you to tears yet? No? Liar!
Well, then, I stole this from Badger:
What you do is take the following list of books (the top 106 marked most often as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users). Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you started but couldn't finish, strike through the ones you really sort of hated, put an asterisk next to the ones you've read more than once, and underline the ones on your own personal To Be Read list. (I tried to make the ones I read Bold and Bigger, but I can't tell the difference. Damn useless eyes.)

Right now, I'm reading: Studies in Forensic Psychiatry. Does that fact and some of the bolded titles up there scare you? (Kristabella, I'm not dangerous, I promise! I just have unusual interests. I won't wig out after a glass or ten of wine.)
---- Alright, back to another conference call. These calls just suck the creativity right outta mah brain. So if I block your way in with the couch or you trip over that rug while I'm rearranging stuff, blame it on my day job. ----
