What a day! First off, you guys are great, and thank you for leaving your ideas about the icons. Of course I didn’t give you all the parameters, like the fact I can’t include colors, but I loved the ideas!!! I’m still mulling & I’ll let you know where I wind up. Part of me is deeply drawn to the crown that Alice in Wonderland wore. (So even though I said “no crown”, I can’t quite shake it!)<\/p>\n

Today has been nutso. Everything was start-stop, so one email I was working on took me over an hour to complete, and then the servers were crashing so my email crashed & I had to re-create half the email, and can I just say I NEED A DRINK? <\/p>\n

I got thrown a completely left-field project this afternoon and normally I’d be all “FOUL” and “WHA? THE F?” But oddly enough, I surprised even myself & just swung. And hopefully, it’ll be a base hit. Who knows?! I think it was a concrete, defined puzzle, that – despite the fact it involves international pricing and trying to talk to sales people who are 6 hours ahead of me – was at its core, a puzzle. God I love me the puzzles. Kristin turned me on to Scramble, on Facebook? And I’m frickin’ addicted to the one-minute Scrambles. As many words as you can find in 60 seconds, and it’s crazy! And a new game starts 15 seconds after the last one ends – it’s like tiny shots of adrenaline. Of course, I didn’t need any of it today because life has produced its own natural source of panic!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ve been doing formulas and converting Euros and being reminded of how much easier the metric system is – good lord, why don’t we just switch? Because when it says “based on cm” and then measurements are given in mm – it’s no big deal to convert! It’s like a simpleton’s puzzle! (Not that the users of the metric system are simpletons. I do not need -oh- the ENTIRE WORLD mad at me!) It’s just so much more direct. And dare I say it, universal. I think the only problem I’d have if we switched would be the Fahrenheit\/Celsius thing. I’d be convinced at all times someone was lying about the heat.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, I knew I was stressed today when all I could think about was how I needed to go home & battle Tom Morello on Guitar Hero. I could even hear the chords in my head.<\/p>\n

I’m a nutjob. But I :embrace: it. Oh well. We all know what I’ll want to wear if I get named Queen of the Nutjobs….<\/p>\n
