My husband seriously rocks. Ruth’s Chris? Excellent. They cook their steaks in butter. Calorie count? Food for a week for a family of New Millennial beggars in Lagos, Nigeria (if you don’t understand that joke, it’s because you don’t realize blogs are daily-ish, so read back a few days). Seriously. Most important, though? MY PRESENT! AN ENGAGEMENT RING! I was shocked to silence (I’m never quite). Steve and I eloped to Las Vegas, see. I never got an engagement ring, see. I have a great wedding ring story, but that’s for another time. So, OMG, IT’S FUCKING HUGE. The engagement ring, that is, see.

On another note, turning 40 made me reflect once again on grrl stuff on the web, which I already wrote about in some journal entry here somewhere. Whatever. Anyway, I went scouting for some chickclick affiliate sites and I found some of the graphics, at [...]

I woke up this morning to balloons, a birthday bouquet, and a cup of coffee. Life is good. I got email greetings from a bunch of folks including one from the cleaning chick and another funny one from Joshie. This afternoon I will have Gambino’s gourmet birthday cake. Tonite I am going to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. When I lived in Austin as an undergrad, my roommate (coincidentally, her name was Ruth) told me that she heard Ruth’s Chris steakhouse, which was a Texas-based chain, was named after Ruth’s husband (or maybe her son…) who ran the steakhouse and then died, so Ruth kept the name in honor of him. Once, I mentioned this to Tracy who pshawed at me and told me Ruth was from New Orleans. So I looked it up on the web today and found out that not only was Tracy right, but Ruth [...]

Birthday Countdown to 40

By ~LS~ On July 23, 2003 · Add Comment · In The Quotidian (yadda yadda) and tagged Tagged With: Age, I'm 40, Nigerian Scam, Start Button

I have so many friends in Nigeria! They keep mailing me. They are all very rich. Nigeria must be a wealthy country. They all also have many problems getting access to their money! You would think that a country with so many rich people would have a better banking and commerce system. My newest friend is DR. CHUKWUBUEZE VICTOR.

Now playing on the start button:

1. Word Perfect
2. Microsoft Word
3. Front Page
4. Spider Solitaire
5. Microsoft Money
6. WS_FTP

Now, in all honesty, I cheated with that start button. Somehow, I found something called “pin to short list” that adds a program to the permanent list of programs in the short list of the start button. Follow that?
