It’s time to whip out the Neo again because since I’ve returned from my vacation, I’ve gotten very little writing done. Designing my husband’s website and finding a job (any job) were top priorities. I managed to land a 3-day assignment later this week, which eased the stress level a little. My husband assures me that we’ll be fine until the end of the month, which falls on Tuesday. So I have from now until Wednesday to relax before I start stressing again.

Four things made my day.

1. A birthday card from my brother. He and I love to send each other raunchy cards. I’m not sure which one of us started this, but we like to tape the envelope so it takes a lot of effort to open the damned thing. Once I got it opened, I laughed when I saw the dollar bill taped to the inside with the caption that read, “Buy yourself something great with a weekly salary from ______.”

2. My mother-in-law’s compliment about the website I created for the family business. That was a biggie.

3. Knowing that my family and I may never see that stupid Smiling Bob commercial ever again. That was a great prime time family commercial . . . NOT! I found this article after I read Michael’s post about the new WordPress T-shirts. The man in that photograph somehow reminded me poor Smiling Bob, God rest his pathetic and perverted soul. I think it was the pained oh-just-shoot-me-now smiles.

4. Knowing that mindless spam sites like Facebook and MySpace are beginning to lose their luster with the A-List crowd, which means that everyone will eventually shut up and move on to another “innovative” timewaster. Hallelujah and Praise God!
