9:09PM - The Latest.....Such as it is.

Well.........

Days off are nice to have. A vacation would be nice to have. A raise and/or a worksite I look foreward to going to would be nice. A life where I'm not worrying about so much "little stuff" would be nice. Someday......

Got back a bit ago from Fuddruckers. It's been a while since I splurged and it was calling. YUM! I also stopped by Petsmart to get some more kitty litter & saw something called a "Cat Magnet". It is a carpeted base with a curved bristley thing (kind of like a long black toilet scrubber brush) attached. My cat seemed to like it....about as much as the box it came in. Cats are fun.

I plan on getting a bit more shopping done tomorrow & hunt down something for ol' Mom (can't forget Mother's Day!!). I have a social get-together with an online "group" I belong to on Saturday afternoon that should be interesting. There will be around 10-15 of us. This is the first time we have done this.... More details later.

I guess that's it for now. Gonna wander off & find something worthwhile to do.....or not.

4:18PM - how fun.....


Your Score: Diaphragm


66 % efficacy, 70 % complication


80-94% effective and somewhat complicated, you are like the diaphragm method of birth control. You combine the barrier and spermicidal categories of methods. You can be inserted up to 6 hours in advance of intercourse, and have few side effects; however, some believe you reduce spontaneity and are messy. Also, you require periodic fitting and re-fitting, and some people are allergic to you!

You Are Disturbingly Profound



You're contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense.

Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is a priority for you.

Because you're so introspective, you often react in ways that surprise people.

No one can really understand how you are on the inside... and that disturbs them.

Are You Disturbingly Profound or Profoundly Disturbing?

Your Score: Feeling lucky


65% lucky



You're on a winning streak that seems like it just might never end, and with a score like this I don't know if you ever will. Honestly? You might have some bad luck once in a while, but your personal history has proven you're the type of person to get ahead in ways some people could only imagine. So you're not entirely lucky, but you definitely have enough luck in your life to feel so.
