See? What your junior high gym coach said when he was teaching health class was true. You mess around you end up with the clap. Booo.
Lots to share today but I need to go get ready for the Stitch and bitch.
Firstly, I finally won something searching with Blingo! A ten dollar itunes certificate or a movie ticket. Guess which one I chose? In case you don't know what it is, Blingo is this search engine thingie run by google but for some reason (don't ask me why) if you register for this one and do searches you might be randomly chosen to win stuff. Usually small stuff but hey. Stuff! So if you sign up using this link and you win stuff? I'll win it too! And if people sign up using your link? When they win stuff YOU win stuff. Nifty.
Also, for the project spectrum folks I've got this neat thing setup on my sidbar that rotates all my smaller buttons randomly. Refresh the page and you'll see another one. If you want to display this on your site just use this address for the image: http://www.egeltje.org/images/specrandom/rotator.php
and this is what you'll see 
I got a surprise present from Mr. Man this morning. I really wan't expecting anything because I'd already gotten my silly tshirt, I was just hoping he'd pick up a mocha for me from starbucks on his way home from work. But he ran into this dapper little guy who wanted to meet me.
I've named him Dapper Dan. Because he's so cute with his little pants and coat with a cute little white shirt and an adorable sweater. He doesn't like Fop. He's a Dapper Dan Man Bear.
And we got a basket of yummies from my parents for V-Day! Yay for presents!
So that's about it. Oh, one more thing. After a little bit of sleuthing I found out exactly who it was saying those ugly things about the local knitbloggers. Have to say I'm saddened and disappointed. Apparently she's done a lot of this backbiting behavior over the years and people are starting to get annoyed. Every religion has its own version of the concept of getting back exactly what you put out into the universe, whether it's called the golden rule, the threefold law, or karma, so it might be a good idea to try being nice when you're interacting socially. You'll get a lot more out of it.
Sorry about the downer but it just had to be said. Stream of consciousness thing I guess.

That's my favoriate Valentine this year! Thanks for the laugh - and it's looking great.
I'm off to check out the searching link you included - I've done mypoints.com for years and pull in about $50/year in gift certificates (if you're interested in that, let me know and I'll send you an invite...)
Cute, er, dapper bear!

"Avoid the clap, Jimmy Dugan"
"That's good advice!"
A cookie to you if you know what movie that's from. Good to see you at Flying Star!

I agree totally!!!
Sorry, it really ticks me off when some people have to say things to make themselves feel better... If ya don't like it, don't go there... I LOVE my blogging... Especially when I am on the road, I can see what everyone is doing and I don't miss people as much... Also, I have a hard time opening up to people so blogging is a safe way for me to do that... :-)
