It's Time

Well people, I am packing my bags and leave.
Today was a good day. I can't wait to get home and enjoy the rest of it. I think I'll spend most of the evening alone but that's ok. A nice glass of wine will keep me company.
Ciao.

Good Cause

Bill offers a really good opportunity for you to make a difference.
Go over there and read about it.
It's about Operation Smile, an organization his wife is working for.

BTW: This is my 400th post!!!!!! And it's a good one too.

No Blogroll :(

My Blogrolls are gone....what to do?????
Oh well, I don't have time for this. Plus it's probably some problem they're having. So, I just have to wait and see.
SiteMeter is still MIA.


????Wrong time again.......

UPDATE: It's back!!!!!

UPDATE: Now, it's gone again....

Endlich

That is the song I was talking about the other day. Well actually I was looking for the artist's name. It's Regy Clasen. The song is so beautiful. She sings in German, but you should still listen to it.
Here is the link to a short version of it.
Also, go to her site. There doesn't seem to be anything in English though.

Did you see that?????

Now the clock seems to be working.
I don't get it....
And I didn't even go to the settings.

Hah!!

There goes that stupid clock again. I think it has a hard time with afternoons....

Visitor

I just wanted to welcome my beloved husband to this blog. He has been here before but it has been a while.
I don't think he'll show up again today but maybe.
WELCOME sweetheart!!!!! You can comment too if you want to....

Nothing else going on here.
My stomach seems to be better so I hope that'll be it for today.

Ouch!!!!

My stomach hurts now. Great. What else????
I hope I make it through the day.

Wish List

Remember that post the other day with all those books? Well, I made it my goal to read them all. Not right now, but over time. So, I decided to put them on my Amazon Wish List (there's no link here, since I don't ask for hand-outs...yet). The problem is that those are a lot of books and unless I am completely stupid the only way I see I can do is, by looking up the book and adding it to my wish list. I started yesterday and currently I am at Hardy, Thomas - Tess of the d'Urbervilles , so not even half way through. Plus I now have already 9 pages of stuff on my wish list and I still want them all.

Headache

I have a big, bad headache.
It started yesterday right when I was leaving work but it wasn't too bad then. I went home and didn't take anything, since I was going to go to bed soon and I don't like to take pills and medication in general. So, when I woke up this morning it was even worse. I took some Tylenol, but it still hurts like hell.
I hate headaches.

UPDATE: It's all gone!!!!! Seems sometimes pills do the trick but I still don't like them. So, back to work!!!!

HUH???

Now it says 4:30????
I don't get it.
OK, I'm done.
Ciao. Again.

My clock doesn't work :(

I just realized that my clock, or time stamp doesn't work. It says I just posted the last post at 3:38 PM but it was 4:28 PM, but I selected Eastern Time. What the hell is wrong??? Was it like that before and I was just too dumb to see it? Well, that'll be something to mess with tomorrow.
I am getting ready to go. We're having salad tonight. But with Roast Beef!!!! We made a huge roast this Sunday and now we are eating it all week. FUN. But tomorrow we'll shred it with some barbecue sauce and put it in hot dog buns. We'll also have some cole slaw and baked beans. I can't wait!!!!
Ok, I am out of here.
Ciao.

TV is in

Ok, well when I get home this afternoon I get to see the new TV finally in it's right spot. I guess the guySSSS were able to lift the monster up and it is now all connected (don't want to forget that!) and ready to go. Of course, this happens on a Wednesday when absolutely nothing is on TV. But then again the weather is nice (at least once it's dark) that I'd rather sit outside anyways.
Almost time to go!!!!!

Blog Movie

Salem Pax's blog is to be made into a movie.
Interesting.

Comments

With the new template I finally am able to have comments. I use Squawkbox before to have comments but decided to leave it out now. But now I have pretty much lost all of those old comments which really bugs me. I don't know what to do about that one.
The other thing with the comments which I don't like is that you can't leave your URL etc. on there, but I could live with this, since I don't even know how much longer I want to stay with Blogger anyways.
So, that is my little bitch-session for today (or now).
I really do like it and it looks a lot better, but I still want to move.....

New Addition to the Blogroll

I have added David's Medienkritik to my blogroll. Even though it is a German blog the posts are in English. It is a very good source of German News, I think. Take a look and judge for yourselves.

Sad Good-Bye

SilverBlue has a very very good post about the loss of common sense.
Just makes you scratch year head, doesn't it?

Look what I can do!!!!!

I felt like a change and since the great Blogger changed over the weekend I thought about changing as well.
Look I have real comments now! And doesn't it look realy spring-like?
I like it.
And I was able to move all of the other scripts without any problems. I was done in just an hour.

Getting Ready!!!

I'm almost done here.
It's about time. I am getting hungry again. Something is wrong with me.
Lately I have had a huge craving for some good-old McDonald's. Maybe I should convince my lovely husband to stop by there on the way home. That sounds good.
We'll see.
Ciao.
