Anthony “Blue Wiggle” Field is off the market. So many very sad ladies this morning, me included. But I’ll put my selfishness aside and wish them the very best. Isn’t that big of me?

So I’m blog-hopping, reading other folk’s recommendations, and I end up on a site where the navigation looks like this to me:

Now my question is this: Is this MY fault? And how much work do I want to do to have to read someone’s blog?

I’m going to go and try to edit my IE settings to see if my default font is too small.

Okay, I think maybe I’ve fixed it. Sheesh, why does this only happen with SOME sites?

Where in the heck are all my incoming links going? Hey, people, I’m begging you, don’t forget to put a link to https://www.bigdumptruck.com/index.php if you a)have a blog and b)want me to do well in BlogShares. This second it says I only have 6 incoming links and I know that’s poopy. Hey, PickleJuice…wherefore did my linky winky go? Please don’t take your bad hair day out on me! (Why are all the female bloggers in the midst of bad hair months? Is it because we spend more time on our blogs than on our beauty regimens? I swear, it’s a conspiracy.

I’m eating a big bowl of my favorite summery salad, and thinking to myself “Oh thank the good Lord my period was early this month, now I can use the hotel pool while I’m on vacation!!! (Unless you think that’s too much information. If so, pretend you never read it. Thanks.)

Recipe for the salad:

1 box Near East Rice Pilaf, prepared as directed on box

Cubed cooked chicken (I don’t know, 2 breasts worth?)

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped green grapes

1 can crushed pineapple drained (I think it’s the small can) I sort of faked that as half a large can yesterday and I can’t tell if it was enough or not)

Some portion of slivered almonds – I haven’t ever actually added them so I have no idea who much…I’ll leave that up to you. Maybe a half cup?

1/2 cup mayo.

Mix. Chill. Eat. Makes a buttload, so it’s good for bringing to a BBQ.

Actually, mine doesn’t taste as good this time as last time I made it. I think maybe the grapes weren’t sweet enough. This is very important. I also need to find my original recipe for the pineapple thing. Maybe it isn’t drained. (But I think it is…)

It is so hard to leave the house with this kid. I have a couple of errands I wanted to do today, so that I don’t have to worry about them. This means Junior is involved. He tries to bribe me. If I take him to the dollar store, he’ll go to Target with me. Oy, when did I create THIS monster? At least he’s asking for the dollar store and not Toys R Us, right?

Him: Can you just help me get this computer game running?

Me: No, because if I get it running you’re going to want to play it and we’re supposed to leave.

Him: Well too bad, I already want to play it!

Oh, like that’s going to get him ANYTHING from me? I just made him apologize for being rude. Kids these days.

Oh wow, the stone formation of the Old Man of the Mountain, the symbol of New Hampshire, slid off the mountain yesterday or today. That profile was so well known…it’s actually shocking that it’s gone…
