Hello? *looks around* Well, looks about the same here inside the ol’ blog. Shel didn’t throw any wild parties, or if he did he sure cleans up well… Oh wait, that picture is crooked. Hrm…

Anyhoo, it is great to be in my own house posting on my blog the normal way. Feels good, yanno? We actually got home around one-ish. There was quite a bit of housework to drudge through. Lemmee tell you all. 2 cats home alone for a week plus open windows? Dusting and vacuuming galore! They were well taken care of, but it looked like those cats threw a party up in here!! I think we are caught up though. More that caught up. I think we did the chores we missed out on this past week too! Phew! Now it’s off to the store. The cupboards are bare and I am getting bitchy from starvation.

I am sooo behind on my internetting.

For those of you that don’t know him, I should make a formal introduction to your guest author. His name is Shel. He comes from the far away land of Canada. I have known Shel for a number of years, even when he just used to blog with jpeg entries. (It’s not what you think, but still don’t ask.) When he’s not at work, you can find him blogging at orangelounge.ca. Just not as much as he used too. If he’s not blogging he’s off spending time with his man. They just celebrated 2 months together. Is that cute or what? Aww. I remember my 2 month annaversary! Well, kinda. I mean it was like 10 years ago. Heh. Wait, did I just try to make this post about me? See how I am? Bad.

Anyhoo, here’s Shel:

I figured we should put a face to the name. Heh. Doesn’t he seem like a nice fellow?

‹ wish i hadn't asked!

Omg. My drunken sorority girl neighbors are home. It is 3 in the morning. What the hell is with those girls? Sluts. Okay, maybe not sluts, but really.. What are they doing till 3 in the morning? It can’t be good. And from what Richard says, if he has to work early, like at 5, they are still up. Now I used to stay awake like that at that age too, but not by any natural means, I assure you. Speaking of, why am I up? Not sure. I did just get home from work at almost midnight. Maybe that has something to do with it.

So I am getting that amazing pre-vacation stress that only those with OCD, or maybe my mother can relate too. There is the pre-departure housework. The home-arrival housework. There is all that crap in the fridge that might go bad. There is the shopping we will need to do when we get back. Not to mention the laundry. My gawd, the laundry!! Will the cats pee in the house? If they do, will Amy notice? Will she know how to clean it? WILL she clean it? Gah!

I think I can hear the hairs popping out of my head as I GO BALD FROM THE STRESS.

I need to learn to relax. It’s our 10 year anniversary vacation and my stress level has ruined it. We haven’t even left yet. Good lawd. I need a pill. I should see someone aboot that. *breathes* So anyhoo, I think I may have a supplemental author for the dp.com while I am traveling. I am excited. I know we voted on this in the past, but I figure if I am out of town with limited internets access we need a plan ‘B’. So, yeah. All I need to do is get in touch with said guest blogger for a crash course in EE, custom fields, and my capitalization preferences and we should be all set with that. In the mean time, all systems are a go with all type of mobloging. I know this for a fact as I had to test them all after the EE upgrade to 1.6.0. Heh.

My cat is downstairs talking. No really! It is a series of strange meowing that almost sounds like words. He is freaking me out. Cats see things we don’t. I am sure of it. I need sleep. Night.
