Wanna know something cool?

The text in my header is my handwriting.

You can actually make and download your own font at yourfonts.com.

Neat, right?

All you do is download the template (pdf) and fill it out. I only did the first page and you have to have a scanner for the next step (but who doesn't have a printer with a built in scanner these days?).

Next, upload your saved file.

Then you can preview it and download it and put it in your fonts folder. Voila, a font made of your handwriting.

I'm dorky when it comes to these kinds of things and I think it's totally cool! :D

Changes and dooce!

I'm sure some have noticed my blog is "out of sorts."

I had planned on creating a new, clever, pretty header this weekend, but just didn't get around to it. So, until then, I have a sweet default layout!

Saturday I sat on my ass all day watching Rob & Big, The Golden Girls, and The Cutest Puppy with K. Hahaha.

Yesterday I went to Vail with my co-worker C.O. and rode all day. I actually tried to drop in on my first cornice, but instead fell on my butt! I will post the video soon.

Hopefully I'll get around to it soon, but probably not tonight! Why? Because Heather Armstrong a.k.a. dooce is promoting her book It Sucked and Then I Cried, in Denver tonight!!! I can't wait!!! Yes, with three exclamation points!!!

Analytics, of the Google kind.

Yes, I have Google Analytics installed.

I don't have a ton of readers, but I am thrilled to see where the few are visiting from! I've seen a few pop up from other countries, but I think those may be a fluke when someone is browsing through different Blogger blogs, and end up on mine on accident. Who knows!

I'm having a conundrum.

I don't know if I want to continue hosting my blog through Blogger or if I want to switch to WordPress.

I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons, and I'm just not good at this stuff! I want to be able to have something like sub-pages (profile/about me) and not have everything on one page. At the same time, I like how easy everything is to use on Blogger (although I've had quite a time changing my template).

What do you use?

Day 1584.

Check out my favicon! I'm slowly learning how to customize my blog a bit. When I was very obsessed with MySpace about two years ago, I taught myself HTML and CSS. I was actually more obsessed with DIV overlays for my MySpace page than anything else, and I got very good at it with Photoshop. I have yet to learn how to really change much on here, but I'm trying.

The hockey game last night was a shut out! The Sharks beat the Avs, 3-0! It was great and there were a lot more Sharks fans than I expected! (Thanks love, I had a great time with you!!!)

This afternoon will consist of riding home on the bus (and becoming nauseated from someone sitting next to me and the thought of their clothing, purse, etc. touching me), waiting for G to get home from work too, and going to the gym. I'm trying very hard to watch what I shove in that gaping hole in my face I call my mouth and to exercise more.

Running is my choice of exercise. Running about 30 minutes and getting about 3.X miles logged on my Nike+, plus some push-ups, crunches, and maybe some dips following that and I'm done. Speaking of running, when I lived in Charleston, I participated in quite a few runs. They were all little 5Ks or 10Ks, but they were SO. MUCH. FUN. They were also fun because I could get multiple people to run them with me. Most of the time it was G's co-worker Clay and my co-worker Steph.

While living in Charleston, I ran (and I may have forgotten one or two):
Cooper River Bridge Run (10k) x2
James Island Connector Run (10k)
IOP Connector Run (10k)
Susan G. Komen, Race for the Cure (5k)
Half Moon Outfitters, Reindeer Run (5k)
Make a Wish Foundation, Waves and Wishes (5k)
Charleston 9 Memorial Run (5k)

I miss doing runs, but they're not the same here without my running buddies. Although, I'm going to try to make it back to Charleston for the bridge run in April. I can only imagine how much easier it is going to be running at sea level with all of my extra red blood cells I have acquired living a mile high!

This week is dragging by. Last night before going to bed, it felt like today should've been at least a Thursday or a Friday. Alas, it's only Hump Day.

Friday, G's friend E should be here and then we're going out to dinner for my b-day. Saturday, we're getting up early and heading to either Vail or Beaver Creek for a day of boarding. Sunday, I'm sleeping in, making a Target run for Super Bowl necessities, making my infamous layered bean dip, drinking a bit, watching the game, and then turning in to bed to prepare for another long, tedious, monotonous week.

Blergh.
