01.31.2008 :: 31. Randomly put together: no shape or fashion, guaranteed!
Found at Shaw's Supermarket.Sometimes I buy cookies just because FIG is in the name, even though Fig cannot read nor will care. There was some talk of Fig's Rolls after buying this but we will all keep this to ourselves.

Amaryllis number 2 is getting ready to show us her true colors!
Any guesses as to what color this one will be?

I have made it through one month of posting. So far, it's been fine,with the exception of yesterday! Status Quo for me, you? It's a miracle you come back every day to read. Thank you for that.

Yesterday. The blog failure. I cannot tell you how freaking upset I got. It was a bit sad and in hindsight, almost funny. Not having one idea of what to do, this is how I intended to "FIX" things, you know, before the begging to Kim occured.
Actual transcript from the occasion*
~sign on to movable type publishing page

~Zucker.
It was the saddest thing I have ever witnessed in a long while.
*there are no actual transcripts from my life. I made it up. Sorry to disappoint.

Every morning? I wake up with a song in my head that kind of becomes my theme song for the day. I hum it frequently through the day and it fills my day with music.
Today? that song was FLY ME TO THE MOON. That was a good song for the day!
Sing along?

Too funny- That's exactly the song I'm listening to on Pandora Radio.
That was quite the Zucker day you had!

Pink. I'm laughing my butt off but only becuase it's all fixed now. I'll be humming Frankie all day. Dan's gonna think I hit the wine early. And you make my day. :-)

I think that is going to be a glorious, Project Spectrum-y RED amaryllis. :-)

In my house the transcript would have read slightly differently: Kid goes to computer - gets blue message - "MOM - SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH YOUR COMPUTER!!" - like I did it to them on purpose and now my purpose in life is to make it right!! - refresh - refresh!!!
So glad that Kim came to your rescue as I am greatly enjoying lurking along to your blog-a-day marathon. And I think the amaryllis will be creamy yellow.

That sounds like a transcript of MY life, only replace "refresh" with "reboot".

Re: transcript of your life ~ Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I have had to remind myself of this numerous times; my transcript reads, "Surely the 50th time is the charm."

You are so freaking funny! this will work, refresh. hahahahaha.

POST THIRTY-ONE. Thank goodness. I came here tonight hoping for the best, but kinda worried, you know?
Ahhh, don't you just love Frank?
xoxoxo

Well now I have Fly Me To The Moon in my head. And that's a fine ole thing. Thanks, Sandy.

Love the Fig rolls! Pink Amaryllis? Yes, that's always my guess. :p
Thank goodness for Kim!

But wait, I was WRONG. You still DO have the Flickr box on the sidebar. But still your comments box is working right. Maybe it WAS the outdated blog software?
Anyway, ALL HAIL KIM, I forgot to mention!
Posted by: Norma on 01.31.2008 AT 05:38 PM
Ahhhh, that was so much better (the comment box. I noticed! hee.)
OH.MY.GOD, laughed at the transcript of your life. :D
AND if I had been unfortunate (fortunate?) enough to have had Frank in my life, I would have done no end of BAD THINGS. He would have led me astray and to complete and total ruination, I just know it. *sigh*

Fll-yyy meee to-oo the MOON and let meee play among the STARS....dobedobedo.
Good song to have in your head. Glad you're back here, too. ;-)

A-hahahahahaha
I love the whole refresh-that'll-fix-it move. I know better and yet I STILL do it.

It might have gone better if you'd have followed the directions on the Diet Coke can to add rum. I'm bad. And I don't even drink rum,
