I don't know what all the fuss is about, my userpic is clearly me and my handsome, prince boyfriend.

j/k. I agree, post your own pic. Mike you have your own pic in a way. An artist's rendering. I used to have mine up but not too many others really did, making me feel shallow and freakish. Ok well maybe not that bad. But I took it down, and now I better rethink that move based on demands of my fellow elmwood strip...pers.

Elmwood strippers? Hmm I don't think I like that. I wonder how long until we have a name for ourselves...or if we ever will. People who collect in large numbers online often have, err, clever names...Grobanites (Josh Groban fans), Baleheads (Christian Bale fans), X-Philes (duh)...and I only know these courtesy of my sister. I SWEAR!

Anyway..names are a little cheesy. Will we eventually have one? Should we? Hmmm...

Also, a little tribute to my favorite movie...

(that's referring to my userpic...I realize as I update that arrow will be pointing to a blank space and I might look a little nutso)

Got a little sneak peek of the banner as I drove down Elmwood home from work yesterday...

Lookin good. I tried taking a picture on my handy little phone...then the light turned green and I ended up with a blurry picture of some cars and trees. Not really the result I was hoping for.





Lake George...I believe I will be somewhere near there this weekend.



p.s. Right now my life is work > social life. I don't think I'm taking too well to it...

JessBob I can relate your qualms (is that how you spell it?) with the working world. I find myself at work given a large amount of time to do tasks that actually take me about a quarter of the time given, so I end up sitting around checking my mail or elmwoodstrip obsessively. (And yes, I do feel guilty since this isn't like reading the newspaper and I'm being paid for doing erroneous things.) My computer isn't exactly in the middle of the room, but everytime I hear someone coming I frantically minimize or close the window. I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up starting this very entry over like four times. Sometimes if I've truly exhausted the possibilities of the Internet, I resort to Minesweeper or Spider Solitaire. But closing a game of Minesweeper when you might almost have won is a terribly disappointing feeling.

Well I really hope someone from the office discovers this entry, hahaha...not!

Have a nice day...or should I say it's been a pleasure...??

I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Jesse to estrip. It's about time. Now we have a little "DC connection" in the house. Wish I could have seen you more before you left. SOMEONE told me you weren't leaving until NEXT monday. Well the family has been known to head down to that political neck of the woods so maybe I will see you.

In other news...bacon is scrumptious.
