Big news and no shoes!

Dear QotD?ers,
.
I happen to have a lot of glow-in-the-dark stars that I received as Christmas Presents. I'm going to use them extensively... IN OUR NEW HOUSE! That's right, Justin and I are taking advantage of the market, the tax break, and our need to get out of this crazy town and buying a house. Closing is supposed to happen around the middle of the month, but we'll have about 6 weeks to move stuff from our apartment to our home.
Back to the point, I'm thinking the Leonids will be in the master bedroom, the guest bedroom will have the big & little dippers, the other bedroom will have some other assorted constellations and I haven't decided where I want to put my favorite constellation: Orion's belt (and the rest of him).
.
This weekend we saw the X-men: Wolverine movie. I am a huge fan of Hugh Jackman's hair in this movie. Don't tell anyone, but I snuck in some pretzle sticks!
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
If work/stores/resteraunts allowed it, would you participate in National Go Barefoot Day today?
.
Hmm, I think I'll wear some flats that slip on and participate furtively!
Love,
The Asker

for when the lights go out

Dear QotD?ers,
.
I was so flattered to hear that I made your homepage! Now I feel like I should have a daily picture of me smiling and waving to you or something.
My home homepage is hotmail. My work homepage is the corporate intranet site. that's right, intranet.
I finished up most of the laundry tonight, which included some ironing. But it went by really fast and I was surprised. Perhaps it was because I was watching the 2 hour season premeir of So You Think You Can Dance. I haven't finished it yet, so don't tell me anything!
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
If you had a lot of glow-in-the-dark stars and a tall person to help you adhere them to the ceiling, what patterns would you chose? random? constilations? your own connect the dots? something else entirely?
.

Do not make a 127.00.1 joke.

Dear QotD?es,
.
Work was crazy busy and stressfull. Oh man, I need to put clothes in the drier, brb
~walks to laundry room~
~comes back~ man those brownies in the kitchen smell good.
.
I appreciate the acceptance you guys have of my spelling and gramatical errors. If I was doing this as a professional, I might spell check and pay more attention. But this is more of a personality art. Along with my personality comes my inability to spell calendar, tommorrow and use punctuation wrong. I do try to keep from ending sentinces with prepositions.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What's your internet homepage?

Tommorroww I will be doing good.

Dear QotD?ers,
.
I had a long, lovely holiday weekend with some good friends in a completely different state. As in: Colorado instead of Texas. As in: I Saw Snow instead of Turn On the AC. I'm really greatful that Justin and I have these sorts of friends and also that we can travel to see them.
Some of you are now thinking, "Well, how come you haven't come to visit me yet?" I don't have a good answer, but perhaps we should look at our calendars and consider a few weekends we both have free. I know an "anytime" does not hold us to an obligation, no matter how wonderful that obligation will be. We still have 2 weddings and a family reunion this summer and some other assorted events taking up weekends, so send me an e-mail and we can get serious!
.
This vacation had a downside. ok, well two. one was a live tick I discovered crawling between my 1st and 2nd layer of clothing. Two was getting home at midnight and having to get up at 6am. Today was hard. But it's over! And tonight we will definatley get to sleep at an earlier time. hooray!
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Do my misspellings and gramatical errors bother you?

How about you?

Dear QotD?ers,
.
My throwing muscles hurt. Not because I was actually throwing something, but because I was imaginary throwing something with the wii-mote. phew!
.
I would like to thank everyone for their input. I am still accepting suggestions and trying to decide which to get, but I'm knocking out Choice #3 (Pi-rates) and Choice #5 (square).
.
Memorial Day is coming up, and I'm taking advantage of my already long weekend and making it longer. This will be the last QotD? of the week. If you really feel the need to stay connected, keep posting in comments and finding me funny shirts!
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Which of the shirts would you most like to wear?
.

What to wear....

Dear QotD?ers,
. (Updated from original posting: added Choice #9)
(Todays is a long one, so be prepared) (also, the spacing gets weird because Blogger is not a WYSIWYG)
.
You should probably know the #1 group in my collection: The Beatles. #2: Dave Matthews Band. #3: Juanes. Seriously. My brother-in-law (Cuñao) went to Spain for a year and came back with all this latin pop music. I may not remember much of my high school spanish, but I know that Juanes makes some pretty dancy songs.
.
You know how I keep talking about green shoes? I am making an official announcement. If you pass by a ShoeCarnival store and are inclined to go inside to look.. Brand : Soda (light green boxes), Style : Hairdo-S, Color : green (not tobacco or black), size : 7, location in store : clearance section in back (I don't know why, because the 'tobacco' ones are still with the rest of the shoes). Buy them, send me an e-mail so I can confirm that you are the first (if for some odd reason a couple of you buy me shoes in one day), and I'll have you mail them to me, then I will cut you a check and send you a gift!
.
You may not remember that thes shoes were my '10lb weight loss goal, hooray!' I have officially reached my 15lb weight loss goal, the reward of which is 'Nerd Tshirt.'

.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Of the following shirts, what are your top choice(s)?
or
Do you have any suggestions for my Nerd Shirt?
or
Both of the above

Choice #1
Dinosaurs are fun













Choice #2: great for time travel or long lines at an amusement park




Choice #3: another Pi shirt




Choice #4: another chemistry shirt





Choice #5: a math shirt

Choice #6: a Rube Goldberg, also, it makes toast!







Choice #7: It's from a video game. In particular, from the closing credits song sung by the artificially intelegent testing computer. Aperture Laboratories, We do what we must, because we can. (with logo)
.
Choice #8: Another Pi Shirt. A conversation between numerical representatives
.
Choice #9: Another Chemistry shirt. radioactive elements glow-in-the dark. I'm not really a fan of this particular medicine pill themed design, so if you know of another version, please let me know.

.
Loooooove,

open the door, get on the floor, everybody do the dinosaur

Dear QotD?ers,
.
The last wedding I went to was today! It was an outdoor wedding and a beautiful day for it. Also, there were reece's pieces. I loved those so much.
.
Most people who use the internet realize that TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS ESSENTIALLY YELLING AND CAN BE CONSIDERED RUDE, OR AT LEAST HARD TO READ WHEN USED FOR ENTIRE PARAGRAPHS. AM I RIGHT? IF YOU ARE STILL USING ALL CAPS WHEN WRITING E-MAILS OR POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET, stop, it makes you look ignorant of internet manners. I bring this up because there are many realtors that will post their listing descriptions IN ALL CAPS! GREAT BREAKFAST NOOK! COZY FIREPLACE FOR THOSE COLD NIGHTS! MELT AWAY YOUR STRESS IN THE GARDEN TUB! 1) since when does Houston have cold nights that require a fireplace? 2) don't use exclamation points so much. It reads like a puppy describing his love for BACON!
.
Anyway, we are still in the process of this house thing. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make the biggest financial decision of our life thus far.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Looking at your CD (or digital download) collection, what are the three artists of which you have the most ?
