Well, after yesterday's comments, I'm definitely going to *try* to watch Calendar Girls tonight. I hope the LittleMan doesn't object to my plan!.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Blog design
I need serious help with some blog design. Hooker is gone for a week and as a birthday surprise, I am giving her blog a facelift before she gets home. But, I really suck at the whole programming language. It doesn't help that her blog is in Xanga either, so it isn't as easy as using blogskins, b/c there are very few cute ones out there and I want to be original. I'd like to somehow get a banner on the top, but I have no idea how. GRRR! So, if anyone has any advice, let me know!

Funny Work Crap
I know a guy who works for a company that sent out an e-mail warning employees about getting too many personal calls because it puts a strain on clerical staff. So, he took the e-mail and made his own e-mail. He's hilarious....
"It has come to our attention that some office managers are using an excessive number of work hours to harass lower level staff about the number of phone calls they receive, the amount of time spent on the internet, the volume of ink used from company-supplied pens each day, the net mass of new paper clips used as compared with the net mass of old staples thrown away, as well as the number of toilet paper squares used per week and the frictional heat generated by rolling office chairs over their plastic floor protectors. Please try to minimize the criticism that you provide during the day. Excess "analysis" puts an unnecessary strain on the office staff and takes them away from productive work that they could be doing.
Thanks for your help,

Site of the day
Well, I'm at a loss to remember who I have used and who I haven't, so, just pick a blog from my sidebar today and visit!

Blogroll
How often is it customary to clean out your blogroll? Would you get offended if someone took your name off even if you hadn't posted in a while?

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.
