As a lapsed House fan

I thoroughly approve of this comic.

I kind of want to rent the latest two seasons of House at some point, to catch up.

Okay, I want to see House mess with Wilson and watch Meat Loaf not die for once. I can just fast-forward through all the other stuff, right?

Ah, comfort.

I think my cold has finally passed; today I just have the sniffles, and that's most likely due to allergies.

I'm lounging around in my new Ribbed Tees top, which is just as comfortable as promised. The neck is a little wider/lower than I usually like, but since I'll mostly be wearing it at home or under something else that's fine by me. The suggestion on the website to order a size down was absolutely correct: the medium fits perfectly, and I'm afraid the large would have been huge on me. Also, it sounds vain, but it's really very nice to be wearing a medium :-D.

Oh! And, I've been trying half the morning to post a widget in my sidebar, and it's not showing up quite right for me.



As you can see, it's a neat little ad for the Yanni Voices concert; I got the widget from the One2One network, but it's been giving me a headache. Can anyone see the widget in the sidebar, or just the one on this post? I love that it plays clips of the music (and I've been sitting here listening to it in another window as I try to make the darn thing work :-P)

Free Stuff!

The past few days, I've been lucky enough to win several giveaways. I figure, since these people are giving me free goodies, the least I can do is provide them with a little free positive PR :-D

1) An ISIS Peony Brief, from isisforwomen.com. The hosting blog was missionpossible1.blogspot.com. Looking forward to wearing these to the gym!

2) Two Ribbed Tees from ribbedtee.com. These look beautiful, and the hostess (http://www.mommymandy.com/) has a fun blog to visit, as well.

3) A beautiful pink scarf, made by the owner of this Etsy shop. The sponsor (5minutesforgoinggreen.com) is a reliable source for environmentally ideas and giveaways.

Spring Fashions!

I just got approved to become an affiliate for BeLove! They sell cool eco-friendly clothes created from soft fabrics ... but that's not the best part. The best part is that, as an affiliate, I make a little extra cash anytime someone orders through this button (or the one in my sidebar):






And the better part is that if you decide to order from BeLove, you can enter the code BeLoveSpecialSavings to get $10 off men's and women's shirts!
