So despite needing to take a nap or actually get something done, I have done very little that would fall into the remotely "productive" category today.
I added some counter to my blog so I can get stats and am sort of geeking out about it. I've learned that I visit my own blog more than anyone else.
I revised some stuff on my blog layout. It needed freshening up.
I scrapbooked for like 3 hours on our Ireland experience. My SIL gave me a very nice scrapbook kit for Christmas and I'm finally getting around to putting stuff on paper. No, I am not creative or artsy. Monkeys can scrapbook and look nicer than mine. It's the thought that counts.
Our recycling bin was not, indeed, stolen this morning by the Cork County Council. Some overachieving neighbor snatched up ours but replaced it later this afternoon.
I got a phone call that the realtor is going to show the house again tomorrow evening. Whoop-de-freakin-do, I get to clean up the place. . .
My friend Kat sent me an e-mail meme that I thought I'd put up on the blog. I'm not tagging anyone, but feel free to borrow or pester your friends with this one:

tex-mex LOVE IT!
Here's to posting twice in one day! You'll need to show me how to add a counter.

Wow, Sabrina, this was loooong! I'm impressed you stuck with it.
I've been loading your page for days trying to comment, but I've been on the move and haven't actually made it that far :/.
You don't strike me as someone who's hard to be friends with...you're a mighty friendly sort :).
And I don't think if a billion dollars was sitting in front of me, I'd bungee jump. Maybe that's one thing I'd like to change about myself--if I was changed, I'd like to think I'd do it for nothing!
I don't like scary movies. I think we are what we watch, just like we are what we eat.
I think it's criminal for parents to let their kids watch that stuff.
(don't watch it while your PG either.)
Dear sabrina. Firstly, I can't believe you'd not be easy to get along with! You sound like a ball of energy, and I'm generally too laid back (read lazy) so you're my perfect type of friend. Oh and I love to cry too - great tension releaser. The movie "The Family Stone" is my go to movie for a bawl at the moment.
Karmyn: I heart red sauce
Aimee: will e-mail info soon
Robin: yeah, it was way too long. . .and I don't know if a billion is enough for me to bungee jump
Pamela: I really agree: junk in = junk out!
LMM: I am a lazy friend. The Family Stone is a great one--we are such blisters!
Hey this blister feels left out, I've never heard of The Family Stone. My big 'crying movie /book' would be Little Women.
I may give this a go sometime in the future- I shudder just thinking of bungee jumping.
