I don’t know

as in..I don’t know what to title this post as I have nothing but random thoughts careening through my brain at the present moment in time. One thought, today marks SIX MONTHS since the boy and I moved in together, where does the time go? It was such an easy transition in many ways it was almost scary, in others it was difficult as I had issue giving up my apartment and ‘my space’, but I think I have adjusted quite alright. We have had our ‘discussions’ about things we do that annoy the absolute crap out of the other person, but that is all part of the melding of two lives, is it not? As long as we continue to ‘discuss’ things, we shouldn’t have too many issues. Funny, next month will be six months since the boy started his new job, as he has fit in quite well and I think he was good things ahead of him at this company. One nice bonus, is he has benefits, including life insurance, something neither of us had really thought much of, but I guess a lot of people shop around for life insurance quotes to get the best policy for their situation. Not something we’ve done yet, but I’m sure we will at some point in the future. Another thought..it’s a sunny spring day here right now, about 10 above and it’s already warm in the office I am in…shudder at the thought of being in here on a +30 day…ick…that’s when I will REALLY miss my nice, cool basement apartment…sigh.

Well..it’s apparently official without being stated that it’s official, but it doesn’t really get much more ‘official’ than this, does it?  Angelina Jolie pregnantIs that a baby bump, or are you just happy to see Brad?  How many kids does this make it…5?  I’ve lost track!!  Rumour abounds that she is carrying twins…

I didn’t get a chance to comment on the Oscars yesterday due to an alien baby trying to pound its way out of my head with a sledgehammer, so I have just a couple things to say about it today.  Now, is it just me or are the stars getting lazy?  I mean, what happened to doing your hair?  I used to love to watch the red carpet, not just for the dresses but for the hairdos and the makeup and I found both seriously lacking on Sunday’s red carpet.  I mean, Tilda Swinton really cheaped out, not only did she just wrap some black fabric around herself and call it a dress, she also forgot to apply a drop of makeup and I just found that insulting.  Everyone looks better with a little makeup, and Tilda honey, you coulda used some.  Cameron Diaz looked like she just hopped out bed and threw her dress on.  My gawd, that hair was horrid, not only is she in DIRE need of a dye job, but she coulda put a little more effort into it.  And Calista Flockhart, are you kidding me with that hair?  My five year old niece could have done better than that.  It’s almost like the stars knew it was going to be the worst Oscars ever so they just didn’t bother putting any effort into it.

On a totally unrelated note, is anyone else totally bummed that Las Vegas has been cancelled?  Not impressed!! To put  it mildly!!  That was the one decent show that was on Friday nights and boom, gone, just like that.  They could have AT LEAST given the diehard fans the common courtesy of doing a series finale, would that have been so hard?  I don’t think so.

Phases

Ever notice how things go in phases? I mean, I guess it’s all ‘the cycle of life’ if you want to all philosophical about it, which I don’t, but many things can be related to phases. For instance, our dog has been going through a ‘lose every hair on my body at least twice’ phase for the last 2 weeks and it’s nearly driven me to my ‘my want to rip every hair out of my head’ phase due to sheer frustration at not being able to keep the floor hair free for more than 10 minutes. I am hoping she is nearly done this as I am running out of hairs to rip out. Other things that go in phases, commercials. They will play a commercial to near death, then you won’t see it for six months and just when you think you’ve recovered, voila they start playing it again. One type of commercial I haven’t seen in forever is the life insurance for senior one. It was getting to a point where I could nearly recite every word, but I just realized today it’s been ages since those have shown up on the TV screen. Not that I miss them, mind you.

Logo Time

I came across this great site for logo design and thought I would try my hand at designing a business card for one of my other sites, abetterbulldog.com. I couldn’t believe how much fun I had creating this business card:

The site was super easy to use, and it didn’t take a brain surgeon or computer geek to figure out how to create my very own logo and then proceed on to making this business card. It was all very easy to navigate and my logo was created in just five simple steps. Anyone from my 5 year old niece to my 88 year old Grandma could create their very own unique customized logo and business card using this site. There were so many options to choose from when it came to choosing a style and a picture for my logo that if you couldn’t find something on here for your business, well, perhaps you shouldn’t be in business. I found exactly what I was looking for in a logo for our bulldog site, something simple, makes a statement and says it all without saying too much.
