Things That Made Me Happy Today
- A big ol' Oreo Blast from Sonic.
- Getting a call for an interview in Texas - FINALLY.
- Having the dog throw up outside and not on the couch. Unlike last time.
- Hearing someone call American Idol's Sanjaya "Mangina".
- Knowing The Boyfriend was just kidding when he said we can honeymoon in Branson. Ahem.
- But mostly...this picture:

He's A Romantic
Me : You're awesome.
Him : You're...right.
----------------------------------
Me (after he starts giving me an unprompted foot massage) : That's so sweet, honey. Thank you.
Him (after considering this for a second) : Wait. Now that we're in a relationship, isn't it time I STOP doing this stuff for you?
----------------------------------
Him : I have a game you can play.
Me : What kind of game?
Him : It's called 'clean my house.'
----------------------------------
Me (to a half-closed bathroom door) : What are you doing? Are you pooping?
Him : Maybe..... Do you wanna come watch me poop?
Me : Uhm. No thanks.
Him : Come on baby, it'll bring our relationship to a whole new level.

I'm gonna marry this one. Jealous, ladies?
Dear Mr. Stoplight Beggar Guy,
Hi.
Girl in the red Taurus here.
I'm a softy, it's true. If I'm at your corner/stoplight and have a dollar - even if it's my very last dollar - it's a pretty safe bet you'll get it if you're standing outside, holding a cardboard sign and looking even the least bit helpless.
Now, I'm not stupid. I know not all beggars are on the up and up, but some really are...some really could use a dollar for a burger. And my not knowing how to really tell the difference between the needy and the greedy is going to make me do my usual and simply trust you.
With that said, I'd like to say thank you personally, Mr. 71st Street Guy, for giving me no doubt about which kind you were, what with you just standing there, back against a phone pole, half-assed holding your "God Bless" sign, laughing and chatting away on your skinny, sexy little cell phone that was SO obviously more expensive than the one even I could afford.
May your reception be fuzzy and your battery die before you can finish setting up your pedicure appointment.
Hmph.
I Know This Is Old, But ...
[prompted by Chili's latest post]
Overheard
Daughter : You know, I kinda want to see the movie 300.
Father : You don't want to see that! That's nothing but gratuitous violence. It's nothing but a bloodbath. I don't know who would go see that. I wouldn't go see that.
Daughter : I don't know, dad, I hear it's actually pretty good.
Father : You shouldn't go see movies like that. You should want to see more intellectual films. You know what you should see? You should go see Wild Hogs.
Daughter : Wild Hogs?!
Father : What? There aren't real hogs in it. It's like BAM! And the guy hits the sign. Now that's funny.
His Name Wasn't Jesus...His Name Was Chanakin
Something's different in here. Can you guess what it is? That's right!!
LOOK! My blog! It works! It's alive! It's ALIIIIIIIIVE!!
I asked Jesus to take the control panel, but he just got all confused with the coding and made too much wine outta water and then he stumbled around and knocked over a vase, so we made him go lie down on the couch and sleep it off.
Then I got an email from my friend Chanakin (you all know him, yeah? He used to have the 'Chanakin Ricesteamer' blog then took it down (dammit!), and now has
The Sensible Dolt, but is apparently too busy constantly fixing
my shit to update it.).
Anyway. He told me exactly what happened and I will explain it to you now. In detail.
...
...
Um.
...
...
Pffft, right.
I have no clue. Something to do with codes and redirecting and php and basketball and cheesesticks....something.
No idea. But he fixed it! He's a genius! And I love him! And exclamation point!
So there. I'm fixed. Thanks for hanging in there with me while I whined and cried and bitched and put up cat pictures. And THANK YOU again, Chanakin. I heart you more than I heart cheesecake.
p.s. Did I mention that now Jenny officially says I'm her new best friend? Officially. That means she can't call the cops if she finds me lurking in her bushes or wakes up and I'm brushing her hair. Right? I love you, Jennnnny.
Um. WHOA.
**UPDATE #2**
First of all, THANK YOU for all who are trying to help. I really appreciate it. And I owe you guys cookies...or lap dances...or something.
Ok. What I've found. I prodded around a little bit and found out the only pages that are messed up are my main page, individual post pages, about me page, and blogroll page (the pages that matter...go figure).Everything else is ok, including category archives, montly archives, and comment pending pages.So I've deducted...it CAN'T be a specific post because the archives with the post would have messed up too. It CAN'T be the sidebars because the archives have the sidebars as they should be. It can't be the header because of the same reason. Now my task is to find out what those 4 pages have in common that the others don't. They should all have the same information (except the comment pending page, which has the old sidebars...but that shouldn't have anything to do with anything).I'll keep trying. Thank you all again!!
*UPDATE*
I still don't know what's going on with the blog. Have had a couple of suggestions, but either it wasn't the case or I don't know how to check to see if it is. I contacted my web designer and she's in Scotland working and said she'd look when she could. Don't know when that'll be.So yeah. Still screwed for now.
How's about a picture of a cat describing how I feel about this?
-----------------------------
No clue what's going on with the site. I actually didn't do it this time! Accccccck! Anyone know why it would suddenly do this?
Jesus take the control panel!
That Man 'O' Mine
Lately I've had several people asking about The Boyfriend. Mr.Tango. So I thought I'd share the story.
(Hi, honey. Sorry I'm writing about you on mah blawg. Now get over it.)
Let me first preface this by saying the reason I didn't start really talking about our relationship for awhile is because I didn't want to hurt my ex's feelings. However, now 1) The Boyfriend is too much a part of my life to NOT talk about him and 2) my ex probably couldn't care less about reading this blog. Also let me say that my new relationship wasn't the cause of the demise of the old relationship.
Now, moving on to the good stuff.
Hi. This is The Boyfriend. You may call him...The Boyfriend. Or Mr.Tango. Or The King...he seems to respond to that one quite well.
Goofy-looking monkey, isn't he?
We met in a dance class about a year ago. Remember when I started taking
swing classes? Yeppers, he was in that class (the good one...not the zombie one). And, no, The Boyfriend wasn't the boner boy I discussed in one post. Heh.
We danced really well together, so we started taking more classes as dance partners - salsa, tango, west coast swing. We spent a TON of time together, practicing a couple of times a week plus classes, and we became fast friends. We all (my ex included) eventually spent nearly everyday together because we got along so well.
To make a long story short, some time after my ex and I split, I told Mr.Tango, "You know. I'm single now. Maybe you should take me on a date." I kinda thought he'd run away because, um, I'm a heathen and pure evil and all.
But he didn't. He took me on a lovely date soon after and it just...made sense. It fit. Despite how different we thought we were - we had/have a LOT in common. He drives me insane and I'm a big pain in his ass. In other words, it's perfection.
We haven't been a couple for very long, but I already have a favorite memory that I think will be a favorite for the rest of my life:
Late one night, we were driving down a main road in Tulsa and there was a big pedestrian bridge over the street. He pulled off the road and we got up on the bridge and danced, just the two of us up there, quietly dancing the tango as the cars sped beneath us. It was just beautiful.
He makes me feel secure and loved and happy. He makes me laugh until it hurts. He makes me feel beautiful. He makes me think and care about the future for the first time in my life.
He makes me want to be a better person. And he makes me a better person.
And, more than anything else, he makes me roll my eyes and want to smack him upside the head.
*le sigh* Ain't love grand?
"Would someone PLEASE shut her up?!"

Livin' On Tulsa Time
You see that over there in my sidebar? Yeah, the "daily" post thingy that was written on Valentine's Day? Heh.
And you see the post below this? The one that was written 8 days ago? (And that's not even written, per se...that I just copied a video code and called it good?) Heh. YEAH.
I haven't forgotten about ye olde blog - though I'm sure you all have. HI! I'm Chase!! Come back!!
I've been in Tulsa the last couple of weeks. I've been working (I have some money finally! Yay!) and making out hanging out with my man who, oddly enough, hasn't yelled at me to get out of his house yet, despite my throwing my clothes all over the place, using all his fabric softener, and having my dog poop in his house not just once, but THREE times.
He loves me. Despite what he says.
In short, I've not had much computer time at all. And, really, telling you all about how I painted a 30-foot-tall wall at work isn't all the exciting anyway. Unless you're into that sorta thing.
So that's about all I have to report.
I did just find out I'm getting my 3 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies tonight that I ordered from Chilihead's daughter. And that, my friends? Is just about the best news I could ever give ya.
Thin Mints, here I come.
