search results

So today I was checking my site meter.. and I had two hits for the same search results.. from the same person. The ONLY THING, they did differently in the search information was capitalize the name versus not capitalize. NOW, humans are visual creatures. My website comes up just about the same way EVERYTIME it is in google “DIR \ Lazy Kitty”. Now, when one searches the web, you would HOPE that the person could identify with the title, the link colour being changed from active to visited.. SOMETHING.. and not visit the same site with the same summary more than once in a row for the SAME search result. For freaking real people, USE YOUR BRAIN.

Fotolog things

There’s a bunch of new pictures on Picturing. No theme really.. just random pictures that make me dream of Spring.

Thinking of Warmer Weather

With the recent snowfall.. I am wanting spring to come something fierce now. I spent a good part of the morning just rummaging through last years warm weather photos. Enjoy! :)

snow

Let me just remind you all.. how much I freaking hate snow. Yesterday it snowed on and off all day… Just enough to barely get the ground white in places, then it’d melt. Wet, lather, rinse, and repeat! Well, we woke up this morning to enough snow, to actually COVER the ground.. at least 3 inches. It’s spring time now. No more snow please.

I’m trying to teach Sportbird to do the antisnow dance. So far he just sits there, looks confused and says Ow.

EARTHQUAKE

we had an earthquake this morning at like 7:38am. It wasn’t felt out this way.. but Miss Sandi might have felt it.
