My old favorite section in Target used to be the $1 section. It’s freakin awesome.My newest favorite section is the put-together-your-next-meal section. You can visit it and, for instance, get all the ingredients in one aisle for tacos. I got all my ingredients this last weekend for sloppy joes. They were really terrific. I can’t wait to see what I’m going to make next!

Ku showed me a test album that she came across, but the problem is that it lags when it first loads due to the heavy flash. Furthermore, the flash on the page makes it impossible to change around to her own liking. Therefore, it was imperative for me to create a better album for her that did basically the same thing.
Tell me people, isn’t mine much better? Keep in mind that every bit of design on mine is customizable including the color, size, and placement of each picture, but hers comes as is.

By the way, I made this totally awesome number guessing game today.
Well, my gas bill drama is over and so I can finally tell it.
Several months ago I got a water bill for about $20 like usual. However, it was around that time that I was using online bill pay. I added my gas provider (which will be known as IF for its initials) to my online bill pay. A week went by, and I got a check in the mail from IF in full as a refund.
Huh?
I was kind of confused but I forgot to do anything about it. After all, I did score free gas. The next month came around, and I got a bill for $40 this time. So it wasn’t a refund after all? I still forgot about it.
Next month’s bill: about $70. The month after that: $90. Each time I got a refund by mail almost immediately, and each time I forgot to see what was wrong. I called ahead to tell IF that I was sending $90 this time and please tell me if they received it.
That month, I received two checks instead of the normal refund. Well, the first check was the refund. The second check was 100 times the amount of the refund: $9,000! I quickly checked into my account and yep, I was short $9,090. I was in debt but also I had the checks in my hand that would take me out of debt. A call to the bank resolved the immediate issue: both checks were canceled. A call to IF revealed that they hadn’t received any payments in months. Huh???
Then it hit me. Have you guessed it yet?
I scrutinized every detail on my online bill pay account, and yep, I had been paying myself each time. IF’s address was filled in to be my own address instead of theirs. Thus, my bank was quite promptly sending me the check for my bill each month. It has all finally been resolved with probably a bad mark on my credit. At least I’m warm. Jeeze I feel stupid about this one.
I had a really excellent birthday week, guys. Thanks.
Lee is so happy when he drinks wine 
P.S. Happy birthday to me
P.P.S. I’m only a little tipsy
I wouldn’t expect this, but neither Jeff, Rebecca, nor I knew what a slang word meant while my mom and dad did. My question is this: is goosing a term that is going out the door? Is it a term that was used in the 70s but not presently?
We all were laughing as I read the urban dictionary entry about it to my family. I probably should have been embarrassed about this, but I totally wasn’t. The more you know…
I just added something called asides onto my blog. I don’t really know what it does but it might be fun…
What should I do for my birthday?
Besides the birthday celebration with my family, I want to chill with friends. But doing what? Cooking and eating dinner? Walking around the park? Playing an epic game of racquetball?
… crazy Savannah road trip? Who would even go with me?
I will promptly pay anyone back who buys me a Wii for $249!!* Also, I will play many hours with you.
If you are looking for something else to buy me, my wishlist is still up!
*offer limited to the first Wii.
… well ok if you get me a second Wii, I bet I can turn a profit on ebay. Go ahead and get me a second Wii if you want.
