I don’t know, I was thinking about it, but, there are so many things I wanna do online. I wanna get that snazzy razzy Wordpress 2.5 on this blog and on Bookworm Broadcast and on Reliable Home Repair and Remodeling. And there are a million and one Hippie posts languishing in my head, as this place has been fairly neglected as of late. Oh, you noticed, did you? Well, heck – you think this place is neglected – my living room is stacked up with Christmas decorations!

Our living room is not exactly a room, yet. It is in mid-renovation, and the renovations are sort of – ok, completely – at a standstill. So the room is half torn up (half the pergo floor pulled up, half the door frames and stuff between the ceiling and wall taken off [what the heck is that called? some contractor's wife I am, huh? I'll think of it, gimme time! Besides, Mark'll be home soon - I'll just ask him, so there!]) and kind of just used for storage and stuff. The kids have their computer in there and I have a HUGE poinsetta in there, and a wooden rocking chair and that’s it. So don’t go thinking all my Christmas decorations are all up decorating my house or anything crazy like that! Sheesh! They’re piled up in neat piles on the floor in the corner of the room, on the hearth, and on the three card tables, ok? Good Heavens, whaddya think I am? A slouch?

So anyway, March 24th was Mark’s birthday and all he asked for was for those things to be boxed up. (It’s a thing with him, he buys himself CRAP all year, then doesn’t really let us buy him much for bday/Xmas.) And one thing after another happened last week that I didn’t get it done. Legitimate things. Really. I swear.

And I had SUCH a killer migraine on Sunday, that Monday I had the migraine hangover. Yesterday I have no excuse for whatsoever. Today I had some crazy TIRED attack, kinda like when you’re coming down with a sinus infection. Dead dog. That’s been me – all day. Weird.

Then about an hour ago, I took some Excedrin. Now I’m a bit hyped up. And I fully realize that I should get my ass in there and just clean up that stuff! But I have all these ideas in my head that neeeeeeed to be unleashed! I want to launch a hardcore social networking plan of attack for Mark’s site (listed above – Reliable…) and I also need to fix that site. First I got it WITHOUT the dashes – then I screwed up the WP install, royally. So I went ahead and bought the domain with the dashes, thinking that’d be better for SEO purposes, anyway. Mark and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of his clients hate the dashes, with the burning, scorching heat of a thousand SUNS, though. So then I had a friend set up the UNDASHED site to redirect to the DASHED site and all was right in the world. Until a few weeks ago, when I noticed the redirected, dash-free domain was no longer redirecting. Gah. Back to square one.

However, I recently MANUALLY uploaded and installed WordPress on Bookworm. I even set up the freaking database all by myself! I was am so proud!!! And I figure that all that tinkering – successfully – could quite possibly mean that I could fix this whole RELIABLE REMODELING fiasco all by my smart self, too!

So there’s another cool online thing I wanna get to – and I’ve got several reviews to write. But alas, those bloody Christmas decorations are burning a hole into my back, screeching from the floor behind me – “Lisa, come now, come and box us up – hurry, get started, so then when he walks in and at least sees that you’ve begun, he’ll be so relieved…..Lisa, come….”

Damn holidays! I hate ‘em! We’re not getting these suckers out next year!

**UPDATE** I just got off the phone with Mark. He is at his brother’s house, helping him put up some CROWN MOULDING in the bathroom. Yes, folks – the stuff between the wall and the ceiling – CROWN MOULDING. Irritated I didn’t think of it on my own. Funny, though, that he mentions it before I get the chance to ask him. Or not. He is a contractor. So there you have it.
