When you edit a CSS file and upload the changes, you'd expect it to reflect on the site, right? Yeah. Me too. #
It doesn't get much better than Led Zeppelin's "BBC Sessions" album on this sunny Friday morning. #
Whoa. I have 13,758 rollover minutes stockpiled. Guess I should start talking on my cell phone more often… #
That's 9 1/2 days of talking, folks. Wowzers! #
How is everyone's Friday afternoons so far? #
Amazing how a great Friday can be ruined by coming home to a house full of irritated, ticked off people. #ineedadrinkalready #
In an effort to not waste the Saturdays away by sleeping, I'm bored already. Showered, coffee brewing, watching Thing 1 play Lego Star Wars. #
Thing 3 was not happy that I wiped her nose. She retaliated by throwing up on my clean short. Clearly this is no ordinary opponent. #
I think the steak and cheese quesadilla I had after a 2-hr walk around Spring Lake was counter productive. #hindsightsucks #
