Piper Doon

6 January 2007 by kristarella

My mood took a dive yesterday, around lunch time. It’s like all my happy just runs out and I want to cry. Then I have a big teary, get over it, and get my happy back. Lucky I’m not doing much this weekend, I don’t have to fake-smile my way through any events. I woke up with a headache, so that didn’t help.

On a better note, I think I’ve decided on shorter hair. My hair is sooo thick that when it gets long it’s just too heavy and all I can do is put it in a pony tail. When I get it cut and it’s still long the thickness comes back a lot more quickly than when it’s styled short.

On Thursday hubby went into work late so that he could pick up t-shirts from the Post Office. He ordered them a little while ago and I got one that has this cartoon on it. Sadly, my t-shirt was missing and we got a different one, a unisex one (as opposed to a babydoll one). My one is coming sometime next week, hubby got to keep the other one even though it was a mistake.

What on earth is PR1+? On Pay Per Post the advertisers sometimes ask that only blogs rated PR3+ or PR1+ take up their offer. I cannot find any other reference to this rating anywhere on the PPP site. How the heck am I supposed to know my rating? Another thing is when to your posts get “approved”? Is it when someone gets around to reading it and approving it or is it after the 30 days when they decide enough people viewed it?

Be honest… is the background of this post and sidebar section of my blog too dark? The gradient is a fine colour at the top but when you get to the bottom of the page is it too difficult to read?

I still have a headache 🙁 Perhaps I should take some paracetamol.

Oh, we saw Night at the Museum last night. I must admit that there wasn’t any particular moments that stand out for me to remember and say “I love that movie!”, but it was very funny and enjoyable. I laughed a fair bit and I don’t usually laugh out loud at movies even if I think it’s funny. I think it’s a good one to see.

    It’s dark, but not too dark for me to read.

    PR is your page rank….Google Page Rank. If you are using Mozilla there is an option that lets you see different page ranks on your toolbar. Page Rank is Google’s measure of the importance of the page.

    My page is a 4 out of 10 according to Google.

I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
