Steven's mother's church is having a Mardi Gras party, so we're off to St. Basil's Greek Orthodox church to celebrate Mardi Gras Greek style. Have a lovely evening, kiddies!

I am unhappy in so many areas in my life right now. I hope that everyone's right and it's just because it's been a really shitty February, but things have got to start getting better soon. I can't take this much longer.

Michelle has come up with a great idea: Operation TROOPtrax.

The idea is to collect money and send CDs, comic books, and magazines to the men and women serving overseas. It's a great idea and one that I think our military would really appreciate.

Even if you don't support the war, you should support the troops, so go give a few dollars.

Woo hoo! I just checked my bank account and my tax refund hit. Yeah! Today's payday too. Wish I didn't have to pay bills and could have a shopping spree!

I'm watching tonight's TiVo and I must say these men are completely pathetic. They're in the middle of the Amazon, trying to win a game, and all they can talk about are how hot the chicks are. Have these guys ever gotten laid? Jeez. Grow up!

Today was a better day than I thought it would be. We launched one site without any major hitches, launched a bunch of functionality for another site, and the site we launched yesterday required a lot of changes (mostly text and some stuff that was questionable as to scope) that we've almost completed and should have done tomorrow.

I've been feeling very bleak about where we are project-wise, but with these launches and the new intern (who's working for free! Poor lad!), I think we may be better off than I thought. Of course, every time I think that it tends to be wrong, but I'll be optimistic and say it's true this time.

At least it's almost Friday. This week has seemed endless and I swear this morning I thought it was Tuesday. *shudder* That would have been really bad.

If I could get rid of this headache that I've had all day, things would definitely be better. Go away, headache! Shoo!

Every Wednesday those who are involved in a relationship with somebody share a few (simple but significant) reasons for their love. Please keep in mind that this does not have to be a romantic relationship. It can be about a parent, a sibling, a friend, a co-worker, your kid, your dog, whatever.

Stop in here to join the notify list, see who else has left their reasons, and to be added to the blogroll. Also, feel free to save the button below to your server and link it to http://www.neuroticfishbowl.com/reasons.html

I love Erika because...

• She's addicted to blogs just like me
• She has the most delicious design skills and I am always in awe of her and wish I could design as well
• I love reading her blog and a bad day at work can always be made better by a post from her
• She's an amazing woman who does such wonderful, import work with kids, something that leaves me in awe of her
• She's just so snazzy!

Heather, I was working on your skins when your site went down. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I can't get your FTP to connect, your MT login to come up, or your blog to load. I don't think it had anything to do with me, but I'll keep trying to get in. I will be online for a while, so try reaching me at kymberlie_mcguire@hotmail.com on MSN.

I added a little countdown counter to the sidebar to show you how many days left until my rapidly approaching birthday. I know; I'm shameless. ;-)

As you may or may not know, I work at a web development company as a project manager. I've got three sites that are supposed to launch tomorrow. Oy.

I'm also exhausted due to a large thunderstorm we had last night. Around 4:30 there was thunder and lightning the likes of which I've rarely seen. I was reminded of Poltergeist when the little boy was counting how far the storm was before he got attacked by the tree.

I'm still at work, but ready to go home and relax, maybe take a hot bath. Aunt Flo's getting ready to visit, so needless to say, I'm feeling kind of crappy. Calgon, take me away!

It's Monday, so time to start the week out right with Jess's Participation Positives!

• Bella came and got in the chair with me for a hug (she puts her paws around your neck and kneads. It's so cute!)
• I've been StairMastering like crazy at very high levels and I'm proud of myself
• I finally got smilies in my comments and it was super easy to do
• My wireless mouse and keyboard that I won was finally delivered last week
• My mom's going to record Ringu and Battle Royale to DVD for me so I can finally watch them
• I can't wait to participate and get my CDs in Alison’s First Ever Supa-Cool Fitness/Diet Blogger Workout CD Swap
• I cleared almost everything off of the TiVo (a silly thing for a positive, but we had like 80 hours of stuff on there)
• I dinged another level in EverQuest
• I love and am loved

Someone who's site I visited recently had some really cute animal smilies and I commented that I would love to come borrow them if I ever got smilies up. Now I've got smilies up and I have no idea who's site I was on. They had penguins and snails. Anyone know?

Thanks to the easiest script ever, I installed smilies in my comments in under five minutes. No writing long code to get the images to come up. No long line of messy images all across the bottom - they come up in a neat little palette!

I've got a few tweaks I want to make and some other smilies to add, but if you want to put smilies on your own blog, go learn how here.

Update: I've now added Bran's extra special, super cool smilies.

There's a new review up over at BiblioBlog of Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Fourteenth Annual Collection. Go take a peek and read it.

This is late considering sign-ups end tomorrow, but if you want some good music to workout to, go join Alison's First Ever Supa-Cool Fitness/Diet Blogger Workout CD Swap.

Basically, you make four copies of a mix CD, keep one for yourself, and send out the others to other bloggers. Sounds like a great way to get some good music to me!
