Today is apparently the only good day this week, so rather than sit inside looking through the windows, I’m unplugging the laptop to go enjoy the nice day. I want you kids to play nicely together. No fighting or I’ll send you to your rooms.

Tomorrow we’re back to 45 degrees and raining. Yea!

If you’ve read any of the Sweet Potato Queens’ books you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say I made “chocolate stuff” tonight. I do believe I’m going to go into a diabetic coma now. Rich isn’t even a strong enough word to refer to this particular dessert-type food. I needed two glasses of milk to go with it. It reminds me of a cross between fudge and a brownie. Sort of like making brownies with very little flour. It tastes great, but whoooooooooooo.

I read that they’re making a sitcom based on the books. I’ll tune in, but I’m wondering if some of the charm will be lost on television.

They are done fixing my car, so I have to go give the rental back. It was a 2003 Saturn L200, and it was just nice to drive a new car. Nothing rattley, everything electric. You know, nice. Not that I’m knocking the 11 year old Nissan, it’s just that it’s not new and sometimes it’s really fun to have that. On the other hand, this thing sucked down MORE gas in three days. I swear, half a tank and I only drove it around town. Like MAYBE 25 or 30 miles, if that. Let that be a warning if you’re shopping for a Saturn, kids.

Hey kids, I designed my own Iraqi Information Minister press conference. Some of these are actually very very funny. But you have to visit mine so that it gets into the top 50. And if you make one, post the link here.

I lost a point in my Google Page Ranking. I guess the 6/10 was too good to last. I’m not sure what I did to get knocked down a point, but now I know how that chef felt when he lost a star rating on his restaurant and committed suicide. I think I’ve maintained the same level of “whatever” for several months. So why drop me back to 5/10? Huh? Huh?

Don’t worry, I’m not going to commit suicide. Maybe if I was making a living running this site I’d at least consider it, but I cannot let the perceived quality of my hobby destroy my life. At least not until the weekend.

Which reminds me. I’ve got a small vacation coming up in May. I don’t think I’m going to have any way to update the site. I’d be willing to let someone be the guest host for that time period, if they promise they’ll stop by and not post foul language and pictures of naked people. (Aha! That ought to perk up Google’s ears!)
