today is all you've got now

Well, the sun is gone again and the clouds are back. Also, it's 20 degrees colder than it was yesterday. Don't you love these daily weather reports? :) Evan just called to tell me about something he heard on Rock 103 in parody of Memphis weathermen: an announcer, accompanied by rushing wind sounds, saying "White Death 2003: Attention all people. It is going to get cold. Calm the ** down." LOL. As Jon Stewart would say, it's the Storm of the Century of the Week. But without a storm.

New icon. I'm loving the 15 icons thing.

I have been working on my webpage a lot this week, which has resulted in tendonitis symptoms in my right wrist. This is the first week I've been able to type without a brace on my left arm. Needless to say, I am annoyed. I've heard that once you have such problems on one side, you'll inevitably have them on the other, but I was hoping I'd be an exception. My boss has agreed to let me order an ergonomic keyboard, so that might help. By the way, have you noticed that the operators in the Matrix movies (Tank, Link, et al) are always wearing glove-type things? Maybe they're braces for their carpal tunnel syndrome. I analyze things too much.

Debra's coming home this weekend! The guys and I are going to hang out with her tonight at the house. Woo hoo.

Since everyone seems so poll-happy lately, I might as well make a poll too.

[Poll #205019]

Not really "appalling", but more like "different from mine". ;)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yes...that's for sure. :)

I think I'm a little like Pepperment Patty too. Is this your first poll? Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done. :)

Hugs,
Lauren

:) I've done a couple of others, I think, but they were a while ago.

I don't have a problem with receiving/giving a mix CD if it's only a loan. :-)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

:) Yeah, now I'm worried that people will think I was being mocking or something. I wasn't. It's a serious option because I know that's a serious issue for a lot of people. Anyway, I'm just trying to get an idea. I may have to limit the number I send, because I can't afford the shipping and stuff.

[violetvale.livejournal.com]

I for one didn't think you were being mocking. :-)

That is a neat idea, though!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yay, good. :)

[mandajanie.livejournal.com]

Ask people to pay $5 for the C.D. if they want it. That would probably cover shipping/making costs. . . right?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

I thought of that, but I feel weird about asking for money for something I am making of my own accord. Someone might not like the CD and then feel robbed. :P

[my-everafter.livejournal.com]

A mix CD? I LOOOOOOVE mix CDs! I just made (another) one today... I was actually contemplating sending it out to LJ friends as well. But I'm so afraid of people hating it. I think it is most excellent... I'll send you one if you'd like. :-)
We should start a LJ mix CD trade! hehe Maybe I should start on that other project that Shana started first- I'm such a slacker!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love getting those CDs from people! Do you have my address? :)

[my-everafter.livejournal.com]

Yay! =) No- I don't have your address, wanna email it to me?

Jason might be getting tendonitis. :(

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Oh no! :( I'll add him to my prayers for you. Make sure he wears braces and takes ibuprofen. I think if you catch it early it's not so severe...we'll see what happens with my case. :P

You are the Queen of cool icons, Brenda!
For that matter, how about a take on teh actual Mona Lisa painting as an icon? I mean, it's not like you look like it or anything... :P

C.T.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

You know what's weird? I'm actually not overwhelmingly fond of the Mona Lisa. If I liked it better, I would have had an icon of it a long time ago. :)

[thetenthshadow.livejournal.com]

Pity that. I've been wondering, since I first saw you, if that mysterious lady is somewhere in your family tree. :)
And I got the cat-brenda-window icon, my favorite! You are too generous today :)

[jazzypoet.livejournal.com]

I love that picture you're using as your icon. :) So cute, Brenda!
