  • I really want my normal gmail interface back. Why did they take it? Where did it go? Will I ever see it again? #
  • My standard Gmail is back! Hooray! #
  • Watching last night’s Monk, the season premiere. #
  • Got some knitting done, time for a break. #

  • Waiting for the power to go out again. Thunder boomers right on top of us, but I think they are getting weaker. #
  • New thing learned tonight - the laptop makes a really big flashlight when the power goes out, but is useful for little else. #
  • Made a run to the mall for new shoes for the kids and me.Tried to find 2 geocaches but no luck. Might go bowling later. Day off for hubby. #
  • I’m wondering why since sometime yesterday I can’t get the standard view on gmail. Only html view is working. #
  • @journey2learn That is some relief! I couldn’t think of anything I’d changed and was afraid my Internet speed had tanked.Thanks 4 the info! #
  • No bowling today. I’m glad. Wasn’t really in the mood for it. Rainy day is making me want to sleeeeeep. #
  • Just played a 92 point Bingo in online Scrabble. Currently ahead 132 - 0. And I wasn’t the one who suggested we play. Just sayin’. #
  • Just checked the weather forecast and it looks like it’s going to rain all night. At least it’s cooler! #
  • @loswhit Go see Dark Knight? Oh, wait… :-) Bowling? Stone Mountain? #
  • @webboy Ooh cool! I think I do *need* that one. #
  • Heading over to the abode of @webboy and family momentarily. I hope they are prepared for the assault. #

  • Correcting the names and punctuation on my music files. Yes I should be cleaning. This is PhD level avoidance here. #
  • @webboy Ooh! We’ll bring our swimming suits! Hahahahahahaha #
  • I need to go to bed but I’m stalling because when I get up it will be my baby’s 10th birthday. Very traumatic for me. Tears already. Waaah! #
  • Celebrating my son’s 10th birthday! We have a few surprises in store for him. Should be fun! #
  • Took the birthday boy to see Wall-E. Now I’m eating brownie batter while he’s gone with his dad to get ice cream and maybe a Wii rental. #
  • @webboy What is this .me of which you speak? Do I need one? (Like I *need* any of this stuff!) #
  • @webboy NVM, I see. I do NOT need one. Perhaps if the brain was functioning today I could think of something clever to make it worthwhile. #
  • @journey2learn Yes! Wall-E was very cute. All the kids in the audience seemed to be enjoying it - yelling “Wall-E!” and “Eev-eh!”. :-) #

  • @webboy I don’t know how you guys do that. I go out for the mail and come back sweaty. I currently have the a/c AND 2 fans going. #
  • Making it an early night tonight. Early for me, anyway. If I could I’d stay up til about 2 and sleep til 10. Sadly, my kids are early birds. #
  • Waiting for my house to clean itself. So far, no luck. #
  • Need a shopping cart that can handle physical products as well as digital downloads over 15 MB in size, Paypal @ direct cc’s. Suggestions? #
  • @webboy WP as in for a blog? I need it for a publisher’s retail site. Currently using 1shoppingcart.com but file size limit is killing us. #
  • @webboy Woohoo! #
  • Just sent 9 shopping cart possibilities to the site owner. Hopefully some are actually viable. #
  • Watching The Muppet Show with Leo Sayer. My memory of him is vague, but that dude is weird on here. I’m sure he would cringe to see it now. #
  • Don’t tell me “The Muppet Show” isn’t educational. I had no idea Leo Sayer was British and now I do. My brain is just slightly larger now. #

  • Started a game of Scrabble online, but I’m dozing off between plays. How rude of me. #
  • Sugar infusion via bite-sized cherry Twizzlers saves the day. I’m enjoying a small lead in the game. #
  • Scrabble results: no comment. #
  • Getting ready to do the ‘ol switcheroo to WordPress 2.6. I want to make sure my 3 readers know I’m hip and cool and right on top of things. #
  • Woot : http://tinyurl.com/5pyub I wonder if these things work. Or if anybody else is reminded of fondue pots from the early 70’s. #
  • Got WP 2.6 loaded without too much trouble other than losing my api key on one add-on.Updated several add-ons while I was at it. Seems good. #
  • Still haven’t done school today and the kids are outside shooting each other with their new water guns. Should have bought one for myself. #
  • @webboy I think you needed more excitement in your life right now. You just don’t have enough going on. </sarcasm> #
  • My son wants brownies for his birthday again - no cake. He wants to do the decorating himself, thankfully. It’s hard to decorate brownies! #
