People are funny.

Christian Bale and Kermit the Frog. Separated at birth? Signs point to Yes, based upon the EXTENSIVE evidence found in this blog. I mean, who has this kind of time? I barely had time to scroll through the whole thing!! Enjoy.

Hail, victory.

Well, my beloved Washington Redskins kick off their season tonight against the Super Bowl upsetters from NY. It's going to be tough, despite the Giants' weakened defense. Both teams are hoping to pull some surprise moves out tonight. But I am excited about our new coach and new offensive strategy. We needed a fresh take, and I hope Jim Zorn can deliver. Jason, Santana, Antwaan, Clinton, guys, I'm pulling for you. Go kick some Giant butt!! [EDIT next morning] It's going to be a tough year.

Etsy

I assume if you're reading this, you're one of my friends, thus I feel I can safely presume that you have heard of, and adore, Etsy.com. So maybe you already know about Etsy's "Alchemy" feature, but I recently found it & love it. You can post an item that you need made or found or created in some way, and the price you'll pay for it, and people will bid on the job. I have posted my need for new outdoor cushions and the response was great. I selected the bid from the person who's response and profile I liked best, and now she has helped me select fabric, made some great suggestions about the job, and is working on it now. I will end up saving a bundle, and will get cushions that fit perfectly. Isn't that cool?
