i have issues...

they range from being afraid of the "popping" sound that the biscuits make when they come out of that stupid can to being almost obsessed about having a 3-column blog.


i fixed the latter one.
lisa is very happy about that.
(the third person talking
would be another issue)

...and you know what else bugs me?
the telemarketers that call my house every 5 minutes.
and when you're watching tv with the volume normal & then the commercials come on and the noise blasts through your house.


i also have issues with rambling.



so, before i lose you...

I am so happy that you took time to come here.
seriously, all the little comments & sweet e-mails i get really make my day!
if you've never said hi or commented before, please do so.
don't be shy.

i want to give this away to one of my readers:

because it makes me happy :)



but there's a catch.
oh, of course there is.

you have to fill this out:
(just because i'm nosy & like weird questions)

name:
location:
you're a fly with superpowers... whose house would you be buzzing around?


that's it.
you have one week!
ready.
steady.
go!

I would fly around Brittney Spears - just when she was about to make another ridiculous decision, I would zap her with my laser beam eyes. Maybe it would be like an invisible fence for a dog - eventually they figure it out.
