MYSTICAL WRITER'S BLOCK?

Good Thursday everyone! Well I have been asked by a couple of readers now what happened to the mystical Madame Gypsy Judles. No, I have not absconded her witty being and stuffed her under my bed for being so nasty and condescending ~ nor have I sent her packing with a bar of soap in her rude little mouth. She honestly just got 'writer's block' and hasn't been able to conjure up anything new for everyone to read. So in a telepathic conversation with her today, she told me she has decided to ask me to put up a daily horoscope (a normal honest-to-goodness one) in her stead. She has promised, however, that she may now and then throw one of her own in as well, providing the mystical voices in her psyche spew forth some good stuff for the readers! Well Madame G.J., we certainly look forward it, I think? So I have done as she requested and there is a link for you to check your daily horoscope in my sidebar, which she is hosting for you. You can even, apparently, click on an option that will email you a daily horoscope. Well bite my bum, that's kinda cool if you ask me. Anyway I hope you make use of it and enjoy it!

So my hearties, today I have my Terror Twins of the laundry room doing a work-out, and have been running up and down the stairs between doing other odd things around the house. Well okay.......I'm not really running up and down the stairs, I'm afraid those days are over, according to my knees, and I would hurt myself if I did that. Sheeeit, I never used to do stairs without skipping down them. Not anymore Monty! So I am carefully traversing them, if you will. Damn old bones anyway. It jerks my chain how the only thing about me that even "feels" older is my damn body. And I'm not even "old" yet!! OY.

So, hubby and I got sucked in to a T.V. infommercial for the very first time in our lives. Don't ask me why. It seemed wonderful. We bought a Magic Bullet thingy. Two complete 21 piece sets for the price of one! Plus a bonus set of a few things. Uh huh....... I'm not even going to SAY how much it ended up costing us. And the total charge is on my charge card now, but we've only recieved one of the 3 shipments. Don't ask me why they didn't or couldn't send the whole order in one shipment. Will we get the rest of what we've paid for? We can only hope so. Hubby was so mad (you don't want to ever see him mad) and got on the phone to them when we got only one box. They assured him the other two pieces would be coming too. Uh huh.......that was over a week ago. Here's a link so you can see what the product is I'm talking about:
Magic Bullet

I've used it once and it works pretty good, but I think for it to be really worthwhile, you'd have to use it LOTS. Anyway we feel suckered in and we'll never do anything like that again. We ended up paying tons more for it than we thought we would, and there's really nothing we can do about that. Live and learn!

Anybody know where a person can get free blogskin design tutorials? I have such a hankering to learn how to do it!! It would be so nice to design my own, not to mention making some just for fun. I'm enthralled with this HTML biz, and for me it's reminiscent of when I was in high school and learned shorthand. You know, symbols for letters of the alphabet, you can "take a letter" or meeting minutes in a fraction of the time it would take to write it all out. Anyway, waaaay back in time, a good secretary had shorthand. And I actually excelled at it. Passed the class with honours and everything. But I digress......... HTML and shorthand have something in common ~ 'secret' codes that mean real shit. It intriques me. If I was alive during WWII I would have made an excellent message decoder, lol. I want to learn how to design and make blogskins and I don't know where to go (gratis, of course) to do it.

Oh yeah!! Thanks to Tracey, I just watched the Pyrographic DVD she sent me, and I loved it!! I know some of you said you found it kinda boring as it's only the band being interviewed or whatever......but Sav talks lots and OMG I LOVE HIS VOICE! Listening to him talk kinda puts me over the top, lol. And I have to say he looked so fine then. YUM. Thanks so much Trace, you really made me a happy chick!

No plans for me for the Easter long weekend really, just hoping to catch up on some rest and try to be a little refreshed for work again on Monday. No chocolate Easter bunnies for me, my flabby self doesn't need any more jiggling going on, lol. But I do wish you all a great Easter, and hope you have fun! Take care of each other peeps, and until we chat again, PEACE to you!

Love Jude
