I tried to paste a map here, but LJ doesn't do that kind of thing. Here is a link to my Frappr webpage. Why not click and add yourself as a friend (it's free and fun).

I'm trying a newly discovered setting on Outlook to manage SPAM.  We'll see how it goes.

These past few days I've been sick. I hate being sick. I'm generally miserable to be around, mainly as I don't want to do anything.  Thank the heavens for DayQuil as it appears to provide some normalcy in life, until it runs out of the system, and I'm reminded that I'm sick.

I bought a shelving unit yesterday for my office, just to get some things off the floor, so I put that together last night (it was from IKEA), and got quite a few things out of the way (as in off the floor). I'm reminded that I have a ton of crap that still needs to be sorted through and either passed on or trashed.  It's interesting to discard material that I thought I could never live without, especially stuff from my time with SGA at Collin.

Today I was trying to catch up on my reading, and snoozing seemed so appropriate. Still I got about 2 chapters done for one of my classes, and I'll get the rest done tomorrow.  I'm actually enjoying the classes, though Tuesdays are still a long day for me.

We are meant to take the dogs to the park today, but I'm not sure if that is going to happen.  I'm feeling guilty.

Don't ask me why, but I get the press release notices from the Texas Governor's Office, and this was today's:

Statement on Comptroller's Announcement of Audit

AUSTIN – Kathy Walt, press secretary for Gov. Rick Perry, issued the following statement today on the comptroller’s announcement that she is initiating an audit of contracts:

“Contracts signed by the Office of State Federal Relations are already being reviewed by the state auditor’s office as part of its regular auditing functions. It is not her job to audit other agencies and there is no need for taxpayer dollars to be spent on duplicative audits in order to feed her insatiable appetite for media attention.”

What is wrong with this world?

The only “positive” is the following (from the story):

Harper opposes “re-opening'' the abortion issue, and promised that any motion to repeal the gay marriage law would be a free vote. Legislators won't be forced to vote along party lines. And other than ending his speeches with “God Bless Canada,'' Harper has kept his religious beliefs to himself.
