To the Mofos Who Used to Rent This Appt

You have certain hopes when you rent an apartment. You hope for good sunlight.

And big closets, and a nice floor plan without a lot of wasted space.

But thing you shouldn't HAVE to hope for, is that the stupid mofos who rented the place before you didn't discharge the fire extinguisher into the oven and then not notify anyone. Because if that happens, the next people, people LIKE ME, have this problem with their oven. It sort of smells. It doesn't heat properly. And then one day the dad in the family has a eureka moment and grabs the fire extinguisher from under the sink.

DISCHARGED.

So he spent today vacuuming out the stove per the instructions on the internet (we previously thought they had used oven cleaner and not wiped it out properly) and cleaning it out.

I certainly hope those dry chemical laced cookies I served last night don't give us all hideous forms of cancer in 10 years.

Can't Attend Blogher In Chicago - Then Attend in Second Life

This is just a reminder that you have lots, LOTS and lots of time to sign up for Blogher in Second Life. One of the SMARTEST ladies I know told me that she thought Second Life was beyond her and her circle, which is completely insane. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it promise you that. Trust Gidge Uriza.
I know the Queen already told you and I already told you but I'm here to tell you again.
First, go to Second Life. It's free. You create an Avatar and pick a name and it takes you to orientation island where you learn how to move and not look like a complete dork. It's not really important that you not look like a dork to enjoy the conference, but you'd probably enjoy it more if you could do simple things like fly or not fly at will. Sounds simple? Well when you are new, it can be a challenge, so that is what orientation island is for. If you can use a keyboard, you can master it.

Next go here and sign up for Blogher in Second Life. You can also find the schedule of events here.

I hope to see you there, not only at my booth, but at the Vicious Booth as well, where low priced clothing and hair are available.

And I do mean really low cost, about 10 Lindens for clothes or hair. Plus, we have lots of freebies available there for you to pick up! The owner of Vicious Studios will also be raffling off $500 Linden the first day of the conference so please stop by. PLUS he's offering special promotions for blogher participants at his retail outlet, so be sure to pick up a notecard for details when you stop by!

I'm most excited to tell you that I've joined with the owner of Coconut Ice to bring you some super cute freebies in my own booth AS WELL as I will have Coconut Ice Gift Cards to Raffle off!!!! That's right! But you have to come to my booth and touch the raffle ball! Prizes will be awarded to AVs attending the conference and you DO have to be in the conference center to win, so no coming by, touching the raffle ball and then never coming back!! And, I might just decide to award some 500 Linden Coconut Ice Gift Cards to SL Blogher Attendees who comment on this blog.......hmmmm, do I feel a contest coming on? I might!!!

BLOGME 2007

Here it goes.....In Ten Seconds Or Less

I'm a 38 year old 16 year old. I have three kids and no patience. I work full time as a customer service manager at the best company in the world and I blog too much, and spend too much time playing video games and not enough time working out.

I love reading books but never do, and I love hard rock and horror movies but never watch them anymore. I miss my friends, I don't have any here in my new state and I'm so lonely some days it hurts. I have my husband but it isn't the same. And having friends scattered across the country isn't the same as having one best girlfriend to talk to.

And lately, I really really love Blueberry Pop Tarts.

Some Thoughts From a 4 Year Old

Last Night Lil Satchmo says to me, "Mom, I miss Florida." I got all teary eyed and said, "Oh baby I miss it too." And running through my mind where Nikki,Scott,Donna,Leslie,Kurt and Roni.........and days like THIS.......where my college friend and sorority sister Christa came to FLA with her family to visit. And days like THIS where ran off to the John Ringling art museum and I was able to look at five thousand year old jewelry and gorgeous works of art and then lounge on John Ringling's back porch.

And I was feeling so homesick that I started to cry and as tears rolled down my face he says "But I like Georgia too. I think it's pretty cool here and they have a lot of the same stuff."
So I sucked up the tears and said "Oh really? They do?"
"Yeah Mom, they got a train at the mall to ride, that is cool just like Tampa," he elaborates. "And they got parks. And........
Well, they speak English here."

More English than in Tampa........truth be told.......

...........................................................................

Lil Satchmo is also apparently working on plot revisions for ISHTAR.
I'm changing twin diapers and putting on jammies. A little voice behind me says "Mom, what was Ishtar about?" Ummmm. Ishtar. I remember it a little. It was already legendarily bad by the time I got around to watching it on HBO but I pulled from my memory banks as I grabbed some wipes.
"Ummm, It was a movie with two famous actors in it. It was a terrible movie, ummm, what was it about? Ummmm, hand me the Buzz Lightyear jammies. I remember they were trying to write a song or something. And then, I don't remember how but they ended up in the desert - you know I don't really remember what the PLOT was."
Lil Satchmo "Where there any animals in it?"
Me "Ummm, probably, I can't remember, maybe camels?"
Him "Were there any meat eaters?"

????
Me "Well - I don't know? Maybe?"

Him "It probably would have been a lot better movie if there had been some meat eaters."

I wonder if he has any ideas to improve this hideous movie poster. I should beg the Kaiser to photoshop in a T-Rex over the camel........
