The response to the new skin is amazing. I'm so glad you like it. I think that Reese did a wonderful job taking Travis' art and making it into something that is absolutely beautiful. I want to take a minute to introduce you to Travis Smith. Long time ago, I bought a painting of a dog from him, called "ben". I really liked his art, so I watched his eBay listings, where he was selling the painting that you see on my skin. It's called, "A Robot for the Ladies". It actually is an original … [Read more...]

turning joy into bliss
September 15, 2005 by
I've decided that I like inner bliss rather than finding joy. So, I'm doing the whole switch-a-roo. Thursday's inner joy... finally figuring out the retention rates using the new database. Mom just said that I'd get more joy if I went to bed. Isn't that cute? For two days she has been talking about how great the house looks, but my room looks like crap. Honestly, it's the only room we haven't touched. So tonight, after we bought this stove, we went to Restoration Hardware, and bought the … [Read more...]
Secret Pal 6 questions
September 15, 2005 by
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you? I think it is kind of hard to be a snob now'days, isn't it? I do prefer the natural fibers, you know I do. But that isn't to say that I haven't knitted with Homespun... I think all of us have, come on, you know it's true. You know, I was pretty verbose... Look in the extended for the whole answer. 2. Do you spin? Crochet? No, and that is wrong. … [Read more...]
Wednesday’s Joy!
September 14, 2005 by
Let's talk about joy. Yesterday the joy was getting the wireless network at home set up so that everyone could play. That was a good thing. Today, my mom made my lunch and dinner for me. That was really nice. I didn't have to buy either! And, I have a new skin... I thought it would be live today, but it might happen tomorrow. … [Read more...]
Saturday in NYC
September 14, 2005 by
Saturday Snidge and I slept in a bit, and didn't really get started until after 10. It might have been later. I can't remember now. I tried to get us tickets to Avenue Q, but alas, there were none available at the 1/2 price ticket place and even worse, none available at the box office. Basically, we were screwed on seeing Avenue Q. It was then, we decided to walk. And walk, we did. We walked from the hotel down to Chelsea where we had the nicest Chinese food. I had Soy Sauce Chicken. It … [Read more...]
Today’s joy
September 13, 2005 by
Ok, so I'm going to say that my joy for Monday was that my mom is home. Now I don't have to spend Friday nights alone. There you go. Joy. … [Read more...]
Finding joy.
September 11, 2005 by
I'm going to start every day by telling you something that brought me joy. I've been having a hard to find joy, Miss Lisa has been telling me for weeks that I need to find it. I'm hoping that by letting you know what my joy was for each day, I will remember how blessed I really am. Today I took Larissa up to San Francisco. I walked on the Golden Gate Bridge on one of the most picturesque days I've ever seen. It was 68, bright and sunny. We had a wonderful lunch in the Haight at All You … [Read more...]
What a busy week!
September 11, 2005 by
Oh my goodness! What a week! I'm going to start with NYC. Then I'll move on to the rest... I just adore Snidget! Seriously, I do! It took me forever to get to the hotel, but when I got there, I walked in and said "are you ready for some company?" She gave me a huge hug, and then it was like we had known each other for years! After a pretty restless night, I think the excitment of having a weekend in NYC was keeping us up, we ended up at Bliss. We had the most expensive pedicure that I … [Read more...]
