Thinking Outside the Box
I don't know to whom I should attribute this, as it was sent to me as is in an email, but I'm compelled to share it nevertheless, in the hopes that it will bring a smile to your face... 
"A first grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom with the first half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders; their insight may surprise you!

until they stop running.
2. Strike while the...
bug is close.
3. It's always darkest before...
Daylight Saving Time.

termites.

18. Don't put off till tomorrow what...
you put on to go to bed.

1. Less white, please! The overwhelmingly bright background is so... overwhelming, I am going blind every time I come to the site.
2. More black, please! The grey text is so hard to read I am going blind every time I come to the site.
3. Bigger, please! The aforementioned grey text is so small, I am going blind every time I come to the site.
4. More blogs, please! The number of tracked blogs has decreased to 4, blinding me to the existence of other numerous and worthy blogs I would really like to read.
5. Less ad, please! That big, weird ad at the top of our profile pages is too big, too weird, and blinds me to what's important about the profile page--the actual profile!

Lights Out!
But I'm not...
I stand in solidarity with Glenn11523 and countless others who felt blindsided by the new site design and it's badly timed rollout, so I won't be around in any way, shape or form on Tuesday, the 30th of September. I borrow from FarkleSparkle's great work of blog and say this:
1. IT'S NOT TOO LATE to show your support.
This is the URL for the avatar: http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd330/tjaman/tvdark.jpg
2. BLACKOUT IS the 24 hours for the time zone in which you live.
3. BLACKOUT MEANS not one visit to any CNET site during that 24 hours. Not logging in is not enough. If you drop by "anonymously," you still count as a visit and that still shows in the numbers.
4. BLACKOUT ALSO MEANS coming up with a list of Top 5 things you want changed regarding TV.com, and posting them in an October 1 blog, if at all possible. For the sake of unity (and to allow CBS's search to quickly find us), CALL YOUR BLOG: "Top 5 Changes."
See y'all on Wednesday...

She's here!
Two weeks early, baby Teresa Victoria arrived in late May and is as healthy as can be!
Big brother Julian is actually thrilled (thank goodness
).
Teresa is a relatively easy baby so far, and will occasionally sleep in four hour blocks at night. She nurses well, doesn't cry too much, and does not suffer excessively from her still maturing digestive system. She is a sweet little baby that loves to snuggle...
And has lots of beautiful dark hair...
Here she is at the hospital salon.
The last three weeks before she arrived were sheer agony with all the trips to the hospital for monitoring, and I am ecstatic that this pregnancy is finally over and that everything turned out so much better than I could have imagined. Life is definitely different (not too mention full of lots more diapers and laundry and lots less sleep and computer time!), but we are thoroughly enjoying the richness baby Teresa's presence brings to our days!
