A happy thing for today.

Well, that is very cool.

I donated a scarf to an online auction much like the one that was held to benefit me with my car troubles. I put a minimum bid of $15 on it and a Buy It Now of $40.

It's been bought already at the Buy It Now price!

I'm so glad to be able to keep paying it back by paying it forward. I hope the afghan I'm sending off to another charitable cause has as good of a response.

If you'd like to see some of the other items up for auction or read about the cause that the scarf was donated to, check out care_faith_hope.

And thanks also to naamah_darling for the use of the pictures of the scarves I donated to the benefit auction she did back in 2007. I have no doubt that those pictures helped this go so fast!

Too cool not to share...you need your speakers.

Truly impressive video featuring Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and the dancing of Fred Astaire.

A very well done "mashup", in my opinion. You can definitely see how Fred influenced MJ in this.

Undeniable. Blargh. Blargh.

Blargh. I think I may be getting sick. What was exhaustion last night (and sleep broken by barking dogs and a car alarm didn't help) has progressed to body aches, chills, nausea, loss of appetite, sneezing, and now a low grade fever.

Good times.

Early to bed for me for certain. Like maybe 9. Maybe I can knock this out quickly. I've already been downing the EmergenC and lots of water to stay hydrated. I think I'll knock back a Theraflu toddy and settle in for a good night's sleep and hope that works.

Babs, I hope I didn't give this to you! I'm sure I was incubating yesterday, but I felt fine, darn it! Figures.

Please keep your fingers crossed that it's just a little bug and not something more virulent, like Hamthrax.
