I haven't heard any good Buffalo Bills jokes all season. Thanks, uh, yeah. Thanks to 3 Bruces.

Why am I wasting time here? I'll tell you why. I'm waiting for my winter coat that was supposed to be here six months ago! When I moved from Pennsylvania to California in June of course I didn't need a winter coat. I was assured that it would be sent to me soon. Well, now it's December and it's cold here. I want my coat. I need my coat! There is hope though. As I write this the coat is either 1)at the post office waiting to be delivered to me on Monday or 2)in a mail truck waiting to be delivered to me any minute now. I'm hoping for the latter. I'm not, however, hoping that everything else from back East will be in the box with the coat. That's just too much to hope for. *sigh*
When I lived in Pennsylvania, cold didn't really bother me. Well, that's not entirely true. Temperatures of 30 and below (for some ungodly reason) didn't bother me. It's the temperatures in the 40s and 50s that bother me. There is an exception. March and early April. After a winter of below 20 (and sometimes below zero) temperatures and mounds and mounds of snow, 40 is a heat wave. In fact, you're considered by many to be a freak if you wear a coat when it's 50 degrees in March.
Changes. Changes. Changes.

P.S. to my last post ...
I'm not saying that all people who use password protected site meters fib about their stats. Just wanted to clear that up. *s*

Did you ever notice that some bloggers blatantly lie about their stats? Why would anyone do that? If I'm at someone's blog and I read that he/she (supposedly) gets about 100 hits a day, am I supposed to delve deeper to find out why these 100 people go there? Am I supposed to feel there's something wrong with me because I don't get why 100 people a day would go there? Oh well. I'm happy with my stats and that's all that really matters to me. I don't get a lot of hits, but I do have a few regulars and that's cool. (Thank you!) Know what else? My stats are there for everyone to see. Funny how the people who lie usually have password protected site meters.

No, I didn't go to work. But, I did do some tests. What's more important -- finding out which evil criminal I am or work?
What Fruit Am I?
Strawberry: 20/100 Pear: 40/100 Banana: 40/100 Tomato: 40/100 Lemon: 0/100
Which Evil Criminal Am I?
Which Evil Criminal are You?
What Kind of Cat Am I?
 | If I were a work of art, I would be Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. I am extremely popular and widely known. Although unassuming and unpretentious, my enigmatic smile has charmed millions. I am a mystery, able to be appreciated from afar, but ultimately unknowable and thus intriguing. Which work of art would you be? The Art Test |
Argentinian Horned frogs seem to have been designed for the sole purpose of eating as much as possible. They appear to consist of two main parts: a mouth and a stomach. This is probably where they got the nickname "PacMan". Their needs are fairly simple, a warm habitat in a simple plastic box or aquarium with some shallow water and a few rocks so that they can laze around all day suits them just fine. They don't mix well with other frogs, even in their own species, as they are just as likely to eat them.What kind of Frog are you?
And ........
If I were an online test, I would be The Art Test
I'm, erm, a pretty nondescript test that just does what it says on the tin, really. I don't thrive on in-jokes, controversy or irony, nor do I host ads... I have some pretty pictures though, will that do?
Click here to find out which test you are!

I suppose I've goofed off enough today. Well, not everything I did was goofing off, but it wasn't exactly work. Now it's time to get to work and get my real site -- the one that makes me money (finally!) -- updated. I'm only 7 days late updating. *sigh* But at least it's better than last month when it was almost two weeks. Is all this rambling actually veiled procrastination? You bet it is! I don't want to be on the computer anymore. (Did I say that!?!?!?) I want to wrap Christmas presents and bake cookies and listen to Christmas music and ... Well, you get the idea. *sigh* Work, then cookies.

I knew it was only a matter of time before an author of a site I reviewed for The Weblog Review slammed me. I won't mention her name or add her link here, because I don't want to get into the war that she started. If she can't take constructive criticism, that's her problem. What surprised me is that I said she's an entertaining writer. I simply didn't like her layout (a Blogger template on Blogspot). Oh well. I think Carrie at Bulletproof & Bleeding sums up exactly how I feel right here, under the heading "It's nothing personal." Anyway, I gave this person a rating of 3 out of 5. The other reviewer gave her a 3.5. I think my vindication comes in seeing that readers aren't quite as generous as we were. So far, they've given her a 2.5. Enough said I think.

Nick bought the best Christmas CD the other day! Now That's What I Call Christmas! has a wide variety of Christmas songs from the old favorites my parents used to play (Tony Bennett's "Winter Wonderland," Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Burl Ives' "Holly Jolly Christmas"), to my favorites (Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and John Lennon's "Happy Christmas") to Nick's favorites (Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas" and "Do They Know It's Christmas?," the Band Aid classic.) Also, the Boyz II Men version of "Silent Night" is amazing. This CD is a must-have for anyone who likes Christmas music. Do yourself a favor and buy it. I promise you won't be disappointed. Have I ever steered you wrong before? *w*
