I swear I’ve been looking at dresses for what seems like an eternity and had absolutely hated everything I’d seen … until I saw that dress.

I simply said “wow” … and knew that I had to have it!!

I’m ordering it from a nice lady in Michigan who runs a store on eBay (and has a flowergirl dress which colors match this! TEMPTING!) and agreed to sell it to me for a great price!

I’m so happy I can’t stop giggling. Jim told me that I looked like the happiest woman ever. LOL. Considering how well wedding planning had been going lately (gags on sarcasm), this made up for ALL OF THAT!

OMG I’m so bouncy, I’m never gonna get to sleep tonight! LOL

I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress! I got a dress!

What the … ?

I’ve been using a WordPress plugin called Search Meter. It basically gives me a report of recent searches, number of results, etc. — so I can get an idea of what people can’t find immediately on the site and have to look for it. The most obvious are the Firefox Extensions, and I will remedy that shortly, but one result had me stumped:

Term: Retro Booty Porn
Searches: 3
Hits: 0

:shock:

Ok, that’s a weird thing to search for here, but what gets me is that the person tried 3 times!!!

I should’ve known …

Updated my Alabama schedule Calendar to reflect latest game time/channel updates. Alabama’s Homecoming Game is pay-per-view this weekend.

Whoever made the TV deals for this year should be shot.

A Foggy Halloween Night

My boss sent me this:

A man was walking home alone late one foggy night, when he hears:

BUMP…

BUMP…

BUMP… behind him.

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.

BUMP…

BUMP…

BUMP…

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him…

faster…

faster…

BUMP…

BUMP…

BUMP…

He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him.

However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping…

clappity-BUMP…

clappity-BUMP…

clappity-BUMP…

…on his heels. The terrified man runs!

Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, the man locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.

Bumping and clapping toward him. The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup!

Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket…

… and –

– the coffin stops!

Oh, shut up! I thought it was funny. ;)
