blogger-iffic

i swear i ordered this about two days ago. i saw it in a photo, i did a quick google-search (which is funny, because i honestly didn't know that google owned blogger), found it, and bought it all in the span of about five minutes. that i was on my doorstep tonight amazed me.

i'm happy i made the move over to blogger. for years i'd had a typepad account, and that first year was great. the service was amazing, the price was reasonable, and if i had a problem someone helped me with it. all that changed the last year i was there, though, and i found that i was paying for a service that didn't always work, and all the helpful folks seemed to be gone. more disappointing than that, though, was leaving and not getting so much as a "don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out" response. if you use typepad and have had better service, i say yay for you! but personally, i found at the end i was more frustrated than not. blogger may not always be working, but it's always free. while it took a while for me to figure out the basics of coding a page, i'm glad i moved because i never would have learned over at typepad. i might have to work a bit more to get thing the way i want them to look over here, but it's worth it.
emer'gen-c and black tea. hello, awake!

today work was super slow and boring, except for the part where the really cute sawyer comes in before close and i get to spend half an hour talking about music and beer with him. he smelled like wood-fires and the outdoors, and had a handlebar mustache. he was young and blonder and thinner than i normally like, but so charming and cute. i had to stay at work late, but it was totally worth it.

i have to go cut my hair now. my bangs are approaching a dangerous xena length. what works for her, does not work for me.
