have you clicked your dailyhttp://www.thebreastcancersite.com click yet?
well, do it! if they get so many clicks in october then something happens. but i won't tell you what it is cos you can find out if YOU JUST GO CLICK ALREADY.

is laura not the bomb? thanks laura, for the awesome breast cancer ribbon toting fleegan. i think you rule.

liz also rules even though she wouldn't sign my CD. gah, wait till i write that book i've always threatened to write...and we'll see if she gets a signed copy of that.

in an effort to remind myself AND YOU to click the breast cancer link EVERY DAY i'm going to blog every day this month.

why are you laughing? i can do this. yes i can. oh sure i work three jobs and volunteer and i'm remodeling a house and trying to get another house ready to sell and there's the knitting and the reading and the occassional episode of Law and Order and the drinking alone with all my shame and the drinking with friends which is less shameful and there's at least one meal a day if not more and the sleeping and wouldn't it be nice to put some sex somewhere in there?
i've time to blog. TONS!

things i did today:
coffee klatch with mom and the girls
finished painting a fancy bathroom in east gadsden
ate lunch with Popsicle
bought paint for the RBC house
put the second coat of paint on the living room walls of the RBC house
caulked some more paneling
shower
went to the bar to hear liz sing

mr. fleegan and i split a pitcher of Sam Adams Oktoberfest this evening. i said to chris, "this tastes just like all the other sam adams beer i've ever had." which offended chris because he was able to actually taste autumn in his pitcher. but what do you expect of me? i'm the cheapy who drinks miller high life light...out of a can.

one of my buddies sent me a link:

http://www.thebreastcancersite.com

and apparently if you click on it and then click the giant pink button, it helps them give away free mamograms to low income women. i don't know if it's true or not, but it seems like a really lousy thing to lie about. so click on it just in case.

hey LBC. you think you can make me a breast cancer fleegan (er, just a fleegan with a pink bonnet...not with a picture of cancer or anything) for the month of october...and i'll change the color of the site to pink too? won't that be neat?

so today i went to mom's house for lunch and she says to me she says, "hey, i was going to run by the library today."

"oh yeah? whatcha need...i'll pick it up for you?"

"you guys have any Judy Blume books?"

HA! ha ha ha ha ha.

then, i get back to the 'brary after lunch and there's Mr. Finlayson and he's all, "I just came by to see of you had any Judy Blume books..."

i know! then we riffed on the AR program because of how bad it is.

and i've heard from a couple of other people about that lady and i'm SO GLAD you guys are on my side about the whole thing. because i was snotty to her and i felt a bit guilty about being so short with her because, duh, i'm working with the public here, the patrons can't all be intelligent beings like you guys. laura even said that she hated that lady for me. that made me feel good, cos laura usually doesn't hate people.

and not all of the "lacking" patrons are so hard to help, and sometimes they are the most appreciative when you help them. like today for instance, a lady came in and said she had her resume' on a diskette but she didn't know how to "get it on paper."

"it's on this diskette?" i asked.

"yes."

"and you..."want it on paper"?"

"yes."

i was so curious as to how she got her resume' on the disk seeing as how she held the disk like it was a completely foreign and possibly priceless artifact (much like how i hold a gun, huh uncle dan?). so i had to ask.

"did you put the resume' on the disk?"

"no! a friend did it for me."

"oh. okay. and you're sure it's on here?"

"pretty sure. can you put it on paper?"

a few clicks here a few clicks there...

"yes, yes i can."

and i printed it out for her and she thought i was an amazing genius. she gave me accolades for basically opening a file and clicking a picture of a printer...like at McDonald's how they press a picture of a hamburger.

now that? that i can work with. but insisting that there must be more Judy Blume books for 5th graders? i can't go for that. no. no can do.
