No, I’m not over my big stuff.  I’m still under my big stuff.  But I do have some small stuff to discuss. 
Two not-so-important announcements:
One, I joined Facebook.
Two, I’m over my Facebook phase.  Yep.  That took about 2 weeks.  Incidentally, that still outlasted my MySpace phase, so I guess that speaks highly of Facebook.
Please don’t get me wrong.  [...]

I’m having one of those “Eloise is here to gather her things and then run off to Bora Bora” kind of days.
Sigh.

It’s great to be needed.  Really.  Who doesn’t want to feel that they make an important contribution to the world?  Still, sometimes the need comes at inopportune times.
My best friend is on vacation this week.  I’ve agreed to house-sit for her as she lives five minutes from work, I love her pets, and did I [...]

By now you’ve most likely all heard about the AIG bonus debacle.  For those who haven’t, let me break this down for you.
Basically, the US Government gave AIG, one of the biggest financial insurance companies in the world, billions upon billions of dollars.  The thought behind bailing out AIG not one, not twice, but four [...]

Ok, how about this green?  Too green?  I’m not good with change.  I need feedback.

As I’m sure you know, the president has begun making weekly online statements to keep the country updated on our national progress.
Whether you agree with what he says or not, it’s nice to know what’s happening in our capital.
My goal is to learn how to post those videos.  I’m trying, but as I’ve said before, [...]

True friendship is cleaning dried dog drool off of your friend’s window when you don’t like dogs and you don’t do windows.  Ew.
Good luck in Washington, Tina!

Everyone is good at something.  I have a friend who is a fantastic singer.  I have another who recently decorated a super cool football helmet cake.  Others are good at sports or have the ability to run fast without passing out.
As for me, I think I have a few talents of my own.  Among them [...]

I would like to give a head’s up to all of my friends in the area.
