Diet Schmiet
I just have to go on a little diatribe here. I work in an office where they order a lot of food. Today, they had a breakfast meeting and they ordered muffins. After the meeting, there was food left over so they left it out for everyone to eat. Now, I can understand that some people may not want a whole muffin because they already had breakfast or whatever. But why oh why would someone cut a half muffin in half and leave a QUARTER MUFFIN!!!!????
A quarter of a muffin is not going to hurt you. It's a QUARTER MUFFIN!!! Why eat the muffin at all??? And who the hell wants another QUARTER MUFFIN??? It's a QUARTER! Just friggin' eat the damn thing! (Actually, I wrote another f-word in that sentence, but I censored myself :) )
Some people are WAY too stuck on their "diets." It's absolutely ridiculous. Either don't have the muffin or have it, enjoy yourself and the muffin and just don't worry. It's a MUFFIN. It's not a tub of lard.
America: free yourself! Eat the fucking muffin!!! (Sometimes you just have to be blunt to get your point across.)

Going Public
As of today, this blog experiment is open to the public. Ding ding ding! (That was the sound of me ringing the opening bell at the stock exchange....I know, I can dream.)

Edward Scissorhands
My friend Aaron send me this link today. I emailed some friends at my alma mater to see if this was true. Apparently it is.
What I want to know is what kind of freak sneaks into women's bedrooms in the middle of the night to cut their clothes off of them? Shiver.

Formatting
This is where my frustration lies today: I don't know html. I want to format and fix this site so it looks more "Em-ish" and I can't figure out the damn code. I am a frustrated website designer at heart.
How do people, for instance, make more than one page? Do I have to get a paid site to do that? Why the hell is the font so freaking big? How can I fix that??? Grrr...this is driving me a little crazy.
Virtual heads may roll over this.

An Extra Special Day
I just have to say right now that I love Rhode Island. Wanna know why??
Because tomorrow is Victory Day in Rhode Island, and I don't have to go to work. In fact, the office is closed. Ahhh...
I know what you're thinking: what is this Victory Day that you speak of??? And why don't I get it off??
Well, I'll tell you. Now gather around little children. It's time for a (brief) history lesson. :)
Victory Day was formerly known as V-J day or Victory Japan day and celebrates the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II. At one time, most of the country celebrated it in some way, but it was phased out as we got farther and farther away from 1945. Rhode Island is now the only state that still celebrates it as an official holiday.
It's good to work in Rhode Island sometimes. :)
P.S. For all you die-hard WWII researchers, there's also a V-J parade in Moosup, CT if you're ever in the area. :)
