That’s what I am, yes I am. I’m at conference and it’s nearing the end of the first day and I. am. wiped. out. I’m getting sleepy and a bit headachey and my rump (eep!) is sore. LOL I’m no good, I tell ya, I’m just no good. I think the last event of this nature I attended was the Texas PTA Summer Conference. And boy, I tell ya – that one really wore me out! I got a GIANT migraine that first day. So in the headache department – I’m actually doing pretty well! Yea!

It’s a bit sad to even mention the conference name in this whiny and wimpy post, but, I guess I have to tell ya. I’m at WordCamp Dallas. I’ve wanted to go to a WordCamp for a long time and the times and locations just haven’t worked out for me until now. This year, the conference came right at the end of my summer, month-long trip home to Dallas. I was so excited when I saw the dates for this year’s conference. And the super cool thing is that I’m not only getting to fly home, instead of drive – I’m also getting an extra week here in town all by myself. I’ll miss Mark and the kids and Puppy, but, it will be a nice week – I’ll get the family by myself – won’t have to share them with the kids or Mark. And I’m sure my mom and my sister-in-law and I will have some good girl time together. And I’m hoping I can get some work done around the house for my mom and if I have time, I’d even like to get over to my brother’s house and do some cleaning for them. My kids have been staying there the whole time while Mark and I stay at my mom’s – so I’m sure the kids have done some damage to the state of cleanliness my brother normally enjoys. LOL

I’m such a wimp, I swear. It’s silly, really – I’m just not used to activities all day long. How pathetic. Yeah well, that’s just the way it is. I work at home and I have a inky winky bit of laziness in my chemical makeup. But just a tiny bit. Just telling ya’ll how freakin’ tired I am is actually helping, to tell you the truth! Ha! I’m listening to a guy named Chris Silver Smith right now – what a cool name, eh? And he’s telling all about using images online – cool stuff, really. And you guys have helped me return to a state of listenableness. Thank you.

The image included with this post via Zemanta (thank you Zemanta!) reminds me of the Welcome Sign on I-20 – in front of which I desperately wanted to take a pic of the kids when we drove in, but, was not able to do so. I was so bummed. I really would love a pic of the kids in front of that sign to frame and hang up in my office. I told them maybe we can get someone to do some photoshopping for us.

And you know what else is funny? When we drove across the state line, I realized that I wanted to grab up all of the TEXAS tourist crap that I could and take it home with me! Haha! Like – take Texas home in a box with me – to make me feel better! LOL Good GAWD, I’m gonna be homesick when we get home!!!

And let me tell you – there is an AWESOME degree program that I learned about at UTD yesterday that I’d LOVE to move home and enroll in! It’s such a brainiac school, though – I seriously doubt I’d ever get in. But you never know…..

Ok, I’m gonna just go listen to this groovy guy now. Thanks for listening and making me feel better. You guys are the bomb diggity!!!

I just received this email from my mom about this lost Sheltie in North Dallas. So heartbreaking. Please spread the word if you know anyone in the area! Thank you so much. Here is the email:

LOST TODAY, 6/14/09, from North Dallas

MOZART: small sable and white male Sheltie, recently here from OK with other Shelties after owner/breeder killed in crash. Got away from foster home this afternoon at Coit/Arapaho/Meandering Way area in North Dallas . He is very sweet. He has no idea what traffic is, we don’t know if he will go to someone, more shy and underexperienced than anything. Has on collar and Sheltie Rescue tags, as well at vet rabies tag from Pet Medical Center in Frisco.

Any information or sightings: call our 24 hour line — 972-994-7848.

VERY WORRIED! Thanks for any help!

I really want to talk to you guys – I’ve got all kinds of groovy things to spout off about, but, I’m supposed to be working on other stuff. I’m really having trouble with that FOCUS thing. Agh – it’s hard, I keep popping back into my Wordpress dashboard, thinking I’ll post, and I keep just popping into email for just a minute and I keep popping into my Twitter account for just a second and I just have to…

STOP IT!! …AND FOCUS!!

So I thought I’d just share this cool news with you that I just heard about this morning from Shawn Collins over at Affiliate (Tip). Facebook is finally going to give us custom URL’s for our profiles! I think this is super cool and I can’t wait! Read this post on his blog all about it: Vanity URLs on Facebook Starting This Saturday Then subscribe to his blog, because, I learn all kinds of good stuff from him!

This song’s tune has been running over and over ad nauseum in my head today. The kids were rockin’ out to it last night in the basement really loudly – I was upstairs in the living room and could hear their carrying on! LOL For some reason, my teens are OBSESSED with this song. It is so funny. We all love Veggie Tales – I just think that so uber doober super mega cool that my teenagers still like Veggie Tales, but, but they are disturbingly obsessed with this song!

Dear readers, I give you, “His Cheeseburger”

I’ll have to post my favorite song of theirs one day, too! I love, love, love, love that song! Completely totally love it. I love it so much, that it didn’t even have to have come from the Veggies! Anyone could have put it out – like maybe Sesame Street, or Dragontales, or heck, even Paul Simon (one of my all time faves, so that’s probably not fair). But I just love this song so uber doober much. (And my kids think I need to stop saying uber doober. They think it’s really dumb. I like it. Hrmph.)

What do you think my favorite Veggie Tales song is?

What is your favorite Veggie Tales song?
