randomness

ok so i'm supposed to be working. what can i say? i have a cool job & an even cooler boss (not considered to be sucking up since i am 99.9% sure he wouldn't be reading this lol) so when my work is done (for the moment) i can play online. anyway, i was surfing my favorite blogs this morning. started off on the blog link trail & found myself HERE. i love having little peeks into other people's worlds. i especially love when i find something that inspires me, makes me laugh, or causes me to stop all the pettiness & reflect or really think.

so here's what i came up with to "borrow" from another blog to entertain you, my faithful readers (lol...i feel ridiculous saying that cause i *know* people are reading this but only a few of you have said so! SAY HELLO already darn it! i'm curious who comes here...and who continues to come back...and i don't care if i know you already or not, ok?) so...what was i saying before that last tangent? oh yeah. i found something for my faithful lurkers' entertainment & to give you another glimpse into who i am, whether you know me well or you're just getting to know me here! (special thanks to txtricia who i don't know & who doesn't know me, but she gets the inspiration crown this morning! i'm sure she would be sooo excited. *grin*)
