Hola. To get the Thanksgiving banner out of your face, I chose one of the Typepad themed banners called Winter. Kinda cute!
Any time you know something has changed on a web page but cannot see it, hold down the Ctrl key while you click on the Refresh button for your browser. That will cause the browser to go out and retrieve a new page, rather than the one it has cached in memory.
Speaking of winter, have you started your holiday shopping yet? Put up a tree? Emblazoned your house in a blatant attempt to shame your neighbors into doing the same?
I am exhausted just thinking about it. I will put up my fake tree after I get my kitchen cabinets back together. My sister and friend Micky have offered to help me this weekend. Actually, I asked Micky, who said yes, and my sister offered to shut me up after listening to me whine about how much work it was turning out to be and how much I still had left to do.
I was just venting. Really. It was not my intention to guilt her into offering to help me.
Well, maybe it was just a little bit. But it was purely subconscious and without guile! I swear.
