Promised Randomness

I'm back from vacation!
Link
First - overwhelming response to my who's reading post. Really.....

Vacation was awesome. Alabama is like a different country. The people there are all so friendly and chatty. I kind of wish (read: do wish) I was still there - except for with Baby Crazy. I enjoyed 4 days in an RV with no hot water (thank God for heat and bath houses). We actually didn't end up doing any of the planned events - and spent a good portion (read: most) of vacation drunk. It was nice to not have any responsibilities. We headed home on Monday relatively early - but got side tracked about an hour into the trip and ended up at Cathedral Caverns. Two hours later - we started the rest of our trip home, the whole way talking about how we wished we could stay. We took some pictures - not as many as we did on our last trip up - but we did get some really good ones, so I just need to get them on the computer and get them resized. Which I plan on trying to do tomorrow.

Oh - I did my taxes yesterday! (And by I, I mean my Mom) I am so excited about the amount I'm getting - which won't be shared here, but I could technically buy a car - used, but a car none the less. Except there's some debt I need to pay off and a fish tank that I need to buy. (Ok, so I don't need the fish tank - but I want it really badly) And I have a car that runs and is in pretty good shape - so I don't need a car.

Gone on Vacation!!!!

Vacation starts today people!

I am excited. I need a break. I need to get away and forget about everything for a couple days. I won't like my bank account when I come home - but hey, you only live once right???

There are some plans for the vacation (which defeats the purpose of vacation if you ask me, but whatever). We're supposed to go to a monster truck show and some indoor motocross thing. Never been to either - so it should be fun. If not, I'll get heavily drunk and then it will be fun.

Anyway - last night I was playing around with the HTML on the blog because I wanted the option of making my posts expandable. Let me just say that HTML SUCKS. I found a code that worked - here's the problem though, it worked retrospectively too. "Read More!" showed up at the beginning of all the old posts. So I picked a new template and took the HTML out of the formatting area. Should have cleared it out right???? NO. I had to go back through all of that code and delete like 4 lines of code that somehow sneaked into the new template. PAIN IN THE ASS. I need to figure out how to make it NOT show up in the old posts. Can any one help out with this????

Va-ca!

I had all these wonderful ideas for posts this weekend while I was ignoring my poor blogs - and now I've lost them. That's what I get for ignoring the poor things.

No clue as to where all the ideas have gone, but maybe they'll come back some day.

So since I can't think of any of them - I'll write about my up-coming va-ca to Alabama.

I'm so frickin excited - I'm going to freeze to death, but hey! Its not Home! Going with the Bestie (we're actually speaking - and she seems to be uber excited). We're going up for a couple days to see some friends (ok, so they're all her friends - as I'm a loser and don't have friends) and camp in an RV spot. There will be much drinking, laughing, eating and general happiness. This is the plan anyway. The 9 hours up is always hard - but, we are NOT using the GPS this time (I don't trust the damn thing. It got us L.O.S.T. on the way up last time - and lost in back woods DARK Alabama is a very, very, scary thing.) We'll use it for general guidance, but we'll be trusting the good old map (read: mapquest.com) and Reggie (one of the persons we're going to visit, who knows the best way to go up.). Wooohooo for va-ca! I will be posting pics - as she and I have nothing better to do than take pictures of EVERYTHING.

Anyway - I'll probably post again later as I'm bored and have nothing to do.
