Halllooooo!

What's this?

I went to create a new blog...and that doggone New Blogger picked a template for me. That ain't right. What is this, like the car that drives itself? Are people too dumb now to even make a choice on what a blog looks like? OK, my last one wasn't all that purty. But I was in a hurry when I did it. And 298 posts later, I still had not changed the template. I'll see what I can do here in a few minutes.

Now I must create a sidebar. Excuse me.

******************************************************************

Sidebar is DONE, man! That took a bit of copying and pasting. I hope I don't develop carpal tunnel syndrome. That stuff is painful. I had it once, back when I worked in a junk store for a year and wrote prices on things all day with a Sharpie. At night, I would wake up with my forearms and wrists aching so bad that I had to plunge them into a bowl of ice water. Which hurt like a pimple up inside the nose, only in my arms, but was a better pain than the lukewarm aching that awakened me. I didn't see a doctor about it. I was working in a junk store, by cracky! What makes you think I could afford medical care? I was also finishing my Master's Degree that year. Which was not nearly so much fun as working in a junk store. After I quit the junk store and got a real job, the aching went away. Do you think I will get any people searching for 'junk store' in my stats?

Now, I'm off to change the color from this antiseptic white, which gives me flashbacks to the time I WOKE UP DURING SURGERY.

There. Have I told you I like GREEN? Is this a bit much? It's kind of bright in my dark lair. I don't know how it would look in office light, because I don't blog at work. That kind of thing is frowned upon. And besides, I don't have time, because HELLO! I am working when I am at work. Duh.

I'll try this for a couple of days. If I have a lot of complaints, I'll tone it down. Or not. I can't make all of the people happy all of the time. Actually, I don't try to make people happy. It's not in my nature. I try to keep from pissing them off so much that they want to do me bodily harm. That's about as warm and fuzzy as Mrs. Hillbilly Mom gets.

Whew! Now I'm exhausted. I think it might be due to blood loss. You'll have to come back for that story tomorrow. And for those of you who received that little Mother's Day e-card from Hallmark (Mabel), I'd like to warn you: "WE'VE GOT A BLEEDER!!!
