    « YOU may call it life balance, I think it's a circus act | Main | If I'm lost I might be buried under zucchini: Random Tuesday Thoughts »

    It's sad when the highlight of my week is moving my blog: Random Tuesday Thoughts

     

    So, I think I've managed the move to Squarespace without leaving anybody behind and with only a few handfuls of my hair ripped out. 

    If you're not reading this, I've obviously screwed up somewhere, and holy crap do I not even care right now.

    But!  It's Tuesday!  And Tuesdays around the square space mean the same thing they did around Blogger - it's time to dump all your random thoughts into a post & call it good!  Ready?  Have at thee!

     

    No, I didn't manage to re-do the RTT button.  It's still ugly.  And purple.  I'll fix it eventually.  Honest.

     

    The "create post" screen for the space that is square is just as uninspiring as the last one.

     

    Hubby and I went and saw Inception.

    Um...at least I think we did.

     

    If historical events had Facebook pages.

     

    If you're viewing this in Internet Explorer, there are supposed to be cute little social media icons over there on the right where those broken links are.  They're responsible for at least two handfuls of hair that are missing from my head.  They work fine in Firefox.  You should just switch to Firefox, ok?

     

    FoN is a champion of my "let's get Keely a new job already" campaign and regularly forwards me job postings that she thinks I'd be interested in.  She sent me this posting for a "Ben & Jerry's Brand Ambassador", joking that it is her dream job:

    Would you like working for the top brands in the world?  Would you like helping consumers discover new products?  Would you like having an impact on a consumer's daily decisions? Do you love Health and Beauty? Are you someone who takes great care of themselves?   If you answered yes to these questions, we have the perfect job for you, read on!

    We are in search for BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM lovers who will be executing various events!! 

    Successful ambassadors will be responsible to visit stores within a set territory, to sell and explain the benefits of this products. You will become the client's sales ambassadors, and responsible to vehicle brand awareness.

    When I actually read the listing, I wondered what the fuck being "interested in health & beauty" and "taking great care of yourself" have to do with ICE CREAM.  

    Oh, right.  Thats a euphemism for "are you a hot chick?". 

    Hot chicks like ice cream too, you guys.

     

    Popsicles shaped like handguns.  Look into it, Ben & Jerry.

     

    Poll: Color in the two gossipy bitches in the right side of my header or leave them grey?

     

    After my disappointing 8-hour round-trip to the gyno last week, I visited my new GP and she called my naturopath and we all conferred and stood on one foot and chanted a rain dance, and the upshot is that I now have a prescription for bio-identical progesterone cream.  It's like moisturizer.  With hormones in it.  The pharmacist suggested that it absorbs better into fatty tissue.

    So, if nothing else, I'll have a well-moisturized ass.  And that's important too.

     

    That is all.  Go forth, and be random.

    (Edit: DAMMIT. Bit of a learning curve here. sorry for the lack of Linky, folks.)

    Mmm Ben & Jerry's.
    Color them in.
    Congrats on ditching Blogger!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the new blog layout!!! I don't know if I am brave enough to try a different platform though!

    I can't find the Mr Linky though... and you were in my reader!!

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAngel

    Also on the poll, I think they should be Grey still after all you are the rocking one not the gossipy bitches

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAngel

    Well I found you...just a few glitches in your html but all in all...good! I couldn't post my random link though? Sigh!
    And I vote color in the girls...that would be cool!!
    Gyno-cream huh? Sounds like something I tried once and it actually worked pretty well. But mine was for hot flashes and dryness. It helped with both! Good luck!
    Hugging you

    They can stay grey, they aren't as important as you are. :) Looking good though!
    Couldn't see Mr Linky, maybe because I don't use Firefox. Here is my post:

    Well all the stress was worth it because the blog looks great. How bout you get started on mine??

    And, you are a hot chick. With a smooth ass. You should go for that B & J's position.

    I love, love, LOVE your new digs! And I SO still owe you some drinks! ;)

    I'm using Firefox, but I don't see Mr. Linky - it's showing up just as HTML in your post.

    My vote is to color them in - but you could use faded colors so you still stand out.

    Go for the B&J job! You're a hot chick! ;)

    RTT:  Snaggle Tooth, Scaredy Cat and Summer's End

    I love the new look. (Will have to alter Super Keely's cape color though to match the new one.) Go forth, be random

    It would be awesome to work for Ben and Jerry's. And I say leave them gray.

    Love the new look! And your post was way funny.

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichele Renee

    I totally don't have the nerve (or the time) to make the switch from blogger just yet. Going to Bloggy Boot Camp in October - so - will probably have a lot a peer pressure then. Maybe during the holidays???

    I couldn't find the linky - oh, well - here's my link with adoption news!!!

    A moisturized ass is a damn good thing!

    I love the new look too! And hey, the new look and a move is pretty darn exciting. :)

    I see I'm not the only one...so... here's my RTT:

    See you're not the only one with coding probs...thought I'd try the fancy stuff before and it didn't work. :(
    Take two:

    Your website change threw me off. I'll have to grab the new button. Sweet color palette. Your linky is fucking with you. I'm bitchy. Just started my coffee.

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJulie From Momspective

    Great new layout. I am very scared of any blog changes... maybe this winter, in my spare time.

    I like the new look. My reader is not updating to your newest post though. I found you anyway. All the linky things above are html though. Seems to be a theme today. Here is my post: http://tttandme.blogspot.com/2010/08/random-tuesday-thoughts.html

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterVandyJ

    Yay! I made it safely. I'd hate to get lost. Looks great too. I've noticed most things on my blog work better in FireFox. IE seems to screw everything up.

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChristina @RantRaveRoll

    and I hit POST too soon.... Here's my two random cents

    Germ Infested Random Tuesday Thoughts

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChristina @RantRaveRoll

    I just want to know how you swtiched and retained all your readers - mine were LOST - lost I tell you - NEVER to return!

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTiaras

    Love the new site! I've never heard of SquareSpace. It made me think of iCarly with their "Pear" computers and Facespace or whatever it's called.

    I saw Inception and loved it. Whatever you do don't visit any Inception message boards or conspiracy theory sites. Trust me!

    I vote to color in the gossipy bitches because I didn't even notice them until you mentioned it.

    Here's my post: http://www.chantelligence.com/2010/08/rtt-sentences-are-over-rated.html

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChantel @KnowMeLoveMe

    Hahaha!!! "Are you someone who takes great care themselves?" Why yes, yes I do. I count every calorie of that smooth, creamy, rich goodness as it goes down the hatch. What kind of world is this when you can't even be a fat girl and promote ice cream! Haha! .

    August 24, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJennie @ Modern Mamaz

    Well, if you only have one kid at least you'll be a MILF with a fine tush.

    I say stay gray on the side chicks. Their comments are colorful enough.
