Say Hello to the Guest Posters!

I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning super early (we have to be up at 5:00 am *groan*), so I've had a few lovely people volunteer to take care of the place while I'm gone. Say hello to Nicole, Carla, Christine M, Kimberly (formerly of kissmyfish.net), and Anabella.

I'll probably post a few more times before I go, but I wanted everyone to know who was going to be hanging around in my absence. Be nice to them and be sure to say hi!

Two Winners in The Box

I forgot to mention, but this week, I got two great Amazon.com Gold Box Offers that I could refuse.

The first was for The Hunt for Red October (Special Edition) on DVD. It's been on my mind ever since Steven and I watch a submarine program on The Science Channel earlier this week, so I snapped it up and added Field of Dreams so I could qualify for free shipping. Can't wait for them to come in.

The second item was even better and one I can't believe they even put on sale - The Animatrix Gift Set (includes the CD soundtrack). We've watched some of these on the web and they are just incredible. It's going to make a perfect surprise gift for Steven since I told them they weren't coming out on DVD at all. If you're a fan of animation or The Matrix, I highly recommend them. I paired it with This Pen for Hire: A Jaine Austen Mystery by Laura Levine since it comes out in paperback at about the same time.

Some great stuff coming my way soon from Amazon!

SpohistiCats

In just a little bit, we're going to take Bella to SophistiCats, the cat boarder that I found for her while we're on vacation.

It's a really nice place where each cat gets their own "condo" - a 4 x 4 x 8 enclosed area that has a door that can be left open or closed so they can come in or out, hanging places for them to sit, and more. It's cats only, so no other animals to bother them. The cats have all kind of toys and even a trelis over the top of the condos so they can climb up there and hide and play.

I am really sure she's going to like it, but this is our first seperation since we've got her and I'm kind of sad. Steven thinks I'm being silly since we're only going to be gone until Wednesday, but I am going to miss her.

Burn It Complete and Mailed

Last night I finally got done with burning my Burn It - The Spring Edition CDs and I mailed them off this afternoon. Nothing like waiting until the last minute on your own CD exchange!

I was so impressed with the CDs that I have received so far, that I was inspired to print booklets and matching labels, so I hope everyone likes what I got out. I myself really liked how they came together.

Btw, if you want to read what went on the CDs, click the little "Read More" link. I'm going to put the list in the extended entry box so that if you're getting a CD and want the tracklist to remain a surprise, you can.

Woot!

Seyed just performed a LBO of BlogShares.

I'd bought a ton of stock at $0.00 and then he did a 100:1 split, giving me 100,000 shares. When he bought them, they were at $0.21 a piece, so with three times the price I just made about $63,000. Woot!

Happy Thursday

I just got home from my hair appointment and my hair is now a beautiful shade of blonde that I just adore. I've got barbeque sandwich to eat and Survivor on the TiVo. I even ran all the errands today that were on my list. I've got to finish up my Burn It - Spring Edition CDs, but that's all that's on my agenda. Can you say happy Thursday?

Nightmares of Epic Proportions

Last night I had nightmares that I woke up crying from. I was exhausted by the time I got home, so I came home and fell right asleep. Steven just woke me up from one of the worst nightmares of my life. I'm still trying not to cry. I don't even really want to talk about it, but I hope like help that this isn't an effect of the Lexapro. I've always had very vivid dreams and nightmares ever since I was a little girl, but they've really taped off over the past year. Please, please, please don't let this become commonplace again.

Doctor's Prognosis and a Massage

I had an appointment with my doctor this afternoon to talk about how the first two weeks on Paxil went. I told him about the intense nausea, sleeplessness, and weird feelings that I get if I look at a computer screen for a long time and he said that it sounds like while the Paxil is making me feel better, that it may not be the drug for me. He moved me to something called Lexapro instead. He said that it is a "cleaner" drug and I probably won't experience as many side effects on it. He also gave me a perscription for Ambien, so I'm looking forward to finally getting some sleep.

I also had a massage appointment with the local intern clinic (five hour massages for $100; it's an unbeatable deal) and it was fabulous. Usually when I get a massage I don't want to talk, I just want to be rubbed. The lady tonight, however, and I just kind of clicked. We talked the whole time and she was just so sweet. She has six kids which totally shocked me since I couldn't image having that many, but she absolutely rocked. It's a shame she's graduating this week or I would request her again in a heartbeat.

I am now off to shower and get all this stuff off, but I just had to come and blog. No, I'm not an addict or anything.

Don't forget, if you want to guest blog here while I'm on vacation this next week, just send me an e-mail!

X-Fabulous

I was looking at some of the brush sites that The Tart uses when I came upon the most gorgeous site featuring X-Files stuff (artwork, wallpapers, etc.) by Tere-Art.

The site made me long for the days when Mulder and Scully were integral parts of my week. What a wonderful show it was. I still miss it.
