Well, I'm in a much better mood today...I had a long talk with myself yesterday (yes, I typed that correctly) and realized that sometimes the benefits of a situation aren't worth the stress and the mood that they put you in. Sorry to talk in riddles, but lots of people read this blog and until I've made my final decision (which I think I have) I don't want to let the cat out of the bag. And for those of you with red lights going off in your heads, no, I'm not leaving my husband, getting a divorce, or anything to do with a second child. It's nothing that drastic!Onto other things..........
Q tips
Why, why, oh why is it so satisfying to clean your ears with them if that isn't what they are meant for? That is what they are meant for. That's why they are shaped that way! I guess the package says not to use them for that purpose to avoid the lawsuit of the idiot who tries to stick it in one ear and let it come out the other.
American Idol
I think Bo will win, but Carrie will still get a deal. Heather is right though, they will be doing "Where are they now" on VH1 in a couple of years. **Edited to add** Check out my "Who Will Win?" poll in the sidebar
Adobe Elements 3.0
Slowly but surely I'm learning. Maybe after my long weekend I'll actually have something to show off!
Trivia
I host a daily trivia tournament for my office. If anyone is interested in getting one going for our little blog community, let me know. I'd be glad to get it up and running, but I need to know that there are people interested.
Blog Skins
I found a few that I totally LOVE and e-mailed one of the creators asking a question (totally not expecting a response) but I got one! What a very, very nice girl. If you are looking for a new blog skin, go here for some awesome new ones!! I hope to have my new one up and going soon. :)
My readers
I am totally loving the whole blog community and appreciate each of you stopping by and leaving your comments. You bring a little sunshine to my otherwise fairly dismal life. Thanks!
My challenge from yesterday
I have my picture already scoped out. I'm gonna go take it this afternoon and try and load it up. I have dialup at home, so I might have to wait and use the DSL at work. We'll see what happens! Happy hunting for the rest of you!
My hair
I'm considering cutting my hair off again. I finally grew it out to a respectable length. I can even wear a ponytail now! But, I really don't think it's me. It reminds me somewhat of a bad 80s do. LOL
Well, I must get back to work. Hope you all have a wonderful day. What are your plans for the Memorial Day weekend? I need to plan something, so give me some ideas!!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
