Brittney infected me. This is the first one of these type of things I’ve done. Mainly because I’m generally a lurker but lately I’ve figured I should start commenting on all these blogs I read which has lead to more people ending up here. Go figure! Anyway, on with the fun!

How does it work?: Write 5 random facts about yourself, and then list the names of 5 people whom you in turn infect. Also, leave a post to these people letting them know they have been infected.

My Random Facts:
1. I’m a wanna be girly girl. I like to get dirty working on cars and fragging boys online (that means killing, Dad.. as in gaming ;)) and… yeah. I’ve been getting more and more creative with my makeup and getting clothes that aren’t jeans and t-shirtish so maybe I’m on the right path.
2. I have a completely irrational but very real fear of death and the knowledge that I will no longer be here and everybody will go on without me and I won’t be here to join in the fun. Instead of trying to “fix” this fear I choose to ignore it as much as possible. And it’s not like I DWELL on it but it comes up occasionally.
3. I am obsessed with chocolate. Like, there is never a time I’ve said, “That’s too rich.” Or, “That’s too much chocolate.” I want it all the time. And when I’m PMSing it turns into the same kind of feigning that I assume a crack addict goes through. I lay in bed and shiver at night thinking about it and wondering when I can have my next “hit”. My mom got me those little Ghirardelli Squares for times like this but I make Ben hide the package from me…
4. I’m about 40-50 pounds over what my “target weight” should be for my height and age. Depressing. But with the latest trend of feeling like I’d be better off dying than eating anything that contains ANY kind if fat or dairy product, I’ve been dropping weight. And I practically died on the treadmill today so hopefully that is helping too. I’m considering more and more dropping just meat from my diet altogether because all it does is make me physically ill.
5. My most favorite time of the entire day is that 15 minutes before I fall asleep when I press myself up as close as I can to The Benjamin and wrap my legs all around his and I have to reposition myself 15 times the first five minutes and I’m sure this annoys him to no end but he just holds on and lets me drift off. And he does all this knowing that when I fall asleep I’m going to snore loud enough to rattle all the walls in the room. That’s true love people, True Love.

Who am I infecting? Julie, Kristen, Lisa, Jessica and BEN!

Canada has passed a bill that will give married gay people the same rights as straight people. What an interesting idea! Equal rights despite sexual orientation!! It’s only the third country to do so joining the Netherlands and Belgium.

In other Canadian News That Proves What A Dumbass President We Have: Bush has appointed a new Ambassador to Canada, David Wilkins. He’s been to Canada once… 30 years ago. He was the chairman of Bush/Cheney’s second term fundraising in South Carolina though which makes him more than qualified to represent our nation in a country he’s been to one time 30 years ago.

Ben found this little gem. If you have Gmail and don’t have this installed already.. GET IT!

The Gmail Notifier is a downloadable Windows application that alerts you when you have new Gmail messages. It displays an icon in your system tray to let you know if you have unread Gmail messages, and shows you their subjects, senders and snippets, all without your having to open a web browser.

Also, check this out. Just because it’s one of those things you have to see: click. (Make use you watch the whole thing. The mind blowing part is at the end.) I’d actually try to learn this if I didn’t hang up everything. heh

I got a Gmail invitation from the beautiful Eu. I’ve forwarded a few other email accounts to it.

So far I’ve only gotten one spam mail and it didn’t go to the spam folder. I’m sure it was a fluke becuase most people that I’ve talked to have had a lot of luck with it. I really like it so far and that’s the only complaint that I have at this time.

I’m just so used to the @annastacy.com account and I like Outlook… BUT I am thinking that it wold be better to use the gmail account for message boards and the such so less people track me back to here… where I talk unkindly about a lot of people. heh :nana:

We have a product for the soles of our feet, for our cuticles, under our eyes, our eyelids, skin care for men, for women, for babies… and now for our Sweet Spot.

I’m not even sure what to say.

The guy that started the website Postcards for Moms has started a new website Postcards for Kids.

If you are not familiar with the site’s, read the story about how it all started on the ‘Moms’ site. It’s a very cute story. Now, he offers a ‘Kids’ site.

Basically what you do is email him, he returns the email with the address to a child who needs a little cheer in their life. He changes the moms and kids about quarterly and the only rule is not to mention the website. That way, they get a bunch of encouriging mail from strangers to brighten their day. I’m going to have Cassidy draw a nice little picture today and send it out to the little girl.

I can remember how hard Ada had it while on chemo and I feel like this is something that she would have really wanted to have done herself. So since she’s not here anymore, I’m going to do it for her. A stamp is a pretty cheap investment to make to brighten a little girl’s day. :angel:
