It looks like Davezilla.com is back online, and just in time with a really funny “terror alert” chart.

I was over at jodiverse.com reading Flip Flop Flap and I’m so glad she took on this tough subject. I don’t understand the draw of flip flops, the only shoe you can buy at the Dollar Store. Maybe that’s it, they’re cheap, but whenever I blow through the National Enquirer or People, invariable some dripping in dough celeb is wearing Capri pants and flip flops. In public.

The last time I owned a pair was when I belonged to a gym and they told us we might get foot rot from other people using the same showers. Obviously that was enough to make me run screaming from the gym, never to return. Or at least that’s the story I’m using.

Also, was it only in my little corner of the universe (not the jodiverse, but the jodyverse), Leominster, that called them “thongs”? This was way before crack floss had moved from the pages of the Adam and Eve catalog* into Kmart.

*Ya, ya, I know, but I didn’t ask to receive it in the mail. That’s what you get when you order cheap crap from the Harriet Carter (?) catalog. They sold my address, I swear!

Hello, is this thing on? *tap tap tap*. Yes, are you there God, it’s me Jody. I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, we could stop with the snow already and have a nice, warm, dry weekend. See, I bought some sidewalk chalk the other day and we want to give it a try. Also, Junior will never learn to ride without training wheels if he goes weeks between rides. So I know Yahoo says it’s going to rain over the next few days, but let’s see what we can do to make them be wrong!

I’ve changed my Blogrolling list so the blogs are listed by how recently they were updated. Some of them don’t ever seem to show that they’ve been updated, so I assume that means I probably don’t have the link the owner uses on Weblogs. Oh, and now it shows those updated in the past 6 hours, instead of three, but the closer a blog is to the top, the more recently it was updated.

And I added a link to Where is Raed, which everyone seems to be following. It’s a blog from Bahgdad. He hasn’t updated since March 24th.

Of course, if you don’t visit any of the links I’ve provided, you can just skip this entry.

I just got NO sleep last night. First time since I was laid off in January 2002 that I lost sleep over my unemployment. I’m just not getting nibbles…I’m about ready to pay someone to re-write my resume, but hey, that costs money! I was freaking out all night because my unemployment claim ends in early May and I’m not convinced I’ll qualify for an extension. Nobody in my local office could help me with that info. My current claim is already only 19 weeks, instead of 26 or 30, which is what I got last year, because I only worked a couple of months (last summer).

I just don’t know what I’m going to do if nothing comes up in the next 5 weeks. I don’t want to have to get a job just to get a job. I’d like to stay in my field. But that field just doesn’t have openings. Grrrrrrrr.
