That was so freaking AWESOME, the way you totally FORGOT to sign up for the 2010 medical FSA before the open enrollment period ended. Of course, this wouldn't be such an issue if the Human Resources people actually, say, did their own work instead of making you sign up on the fucking internet, but way to go anyway. Now you'll go another year without seeing the dentist because you won't budget the money if it's not taken out ahead of time, and you'll have to scrimp and save for new contacts, and you'll never know if you can afford to renew your Effexor and Yazmin from one month to the next. You see how fucking AWESOME that is? GO YOU.

Dumbass.

But I'm not totally going on hiatus, just slowing way down.

Went hiking with Mom today. Dad rode along and read in the car, and was supposed to pick us up at the other end of the trail. Instead Mom and I ended up hiking twice as far as we meant to because he never showed up and his phone was going right to voicemail without a signal. Oh well, had fun. The modern equivalent of the CCC (I can't remember what they called them this year) has obviously been installing signs, and it was fun to discover all of them. They have history of the park as well as natural features and wildlife. Some of those are pictured behind the cut too.

Tonight's wine: A little more Mallow Run Traminette than was really necessary. Or possibly wise on a work night.

Dad bought Mom a Nikon digital SLR last weekend, and we've been playing with it since then. Especially since we're going to Franklin & Nashville in a couple of weeks, we want to make sure we know how to use it. (Not that I won't take my camera too, but still). So today we went out and took some autumn foliage pictures, and also went to the Darlington covered bridge, where I took a few shots I really like.

You really need to click the thumbnails to see why I like the second and third pictures. :)

To sum up, I love this show.

I wrote this via text message for someone ages ago, sending it via the LJ form to text people. (Who was it, btw? If it was you, remind me?) I didn't realize Firefox had saved my words, until tonight, when I used the texting feature to try to find my phone, which is missing. LOL

So my best friend is making me show her how to use Twitter tomorrow afternoon. I consider myself a basic-to-intermediate user of Twitter, and while I've got a couple of websites I can show her, I know there must be tips, tricks, and tweeps that I'm missing out on. So help me out!

Poll #4306 Twitter redux
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Who's someone on Twitter you think MUST be followed?

What's your favorite Twitter tip?

Ticky?

If you have other info, particularly as it relates to using Twitter for marketing/HR purposes, please comment!

On this day in 2002 I created my journal with a paid account.

Since then I have made 3,919 journal entries, which is just about 1.5 entries per day, which is WAY more than I ever used to journal, even if the .5 per day accounts for all the memes I used to do in the early days. I've made 25,537 comments to other people, and received 24,570 comments from other people. I've met at least twenty of my LJ friends in person, and there are a good half dozen people that I met through LJ that I consider pure kindred spirits, among my closest and most trusted friends in real life. I've also made the acquaintance, albeit longdistance, of all KINDS of cool and exciting and interesting people, who have taught me to think in new and fascinating ways. I discovered NaNoWriMo through LJ, and because of NaNoWriMo I have at least four novels that I actually think I can sell someday, and a fifth one that some day I will finish. In addition I have co-writing projects ( a short story and a novel) with two fantastic people, both of whom I am going to get to hang out with in the next month.

You guys, I have been so blessed.

In other news, my Criminal Minds DVDs arrived today. Why do I constantly expect gag reels to be funny instead of full of weird pranks? *sigh*

Okay, I'm taking my headachy, congested self to bed now.

cm_exchange sign-ups will close at midnight tonight! If you're planning to take part but haven't signed up yet, now's your last chance!

I've been in quite a few Harry Potter universe RPGs, but you guys, I'm truly fortunate to have a great cast of people over at bau_rpg, the game I co-mod with severity_softly. And I just have to pimp my game right now. It's not a real-time game, so we're able to take our time with stuff. And right now we're writing the ending of "To Hell...and Back". Let me tell you, I game with some talented people.

( Cut for references to spoilers for the Season Four Finale )

I'm so excited!

We're extending signups for cm_exchange, since it's the holiday weekend here in America.

So if you've been planning to sign up, now is the time to do it, but you're not too late! :D We have a bunch of people already signed up this year, doing art and fic both. It's going to be a lot of fun! Come on over and join us!

I am still feeling icky today and have been alternating my time between doing laundry and dozing.

I adore my wifey severity_softly.

My kitty is curled up in the middle of my bed and is cute.
