If you use Firefox...

...Then I have some extension raves for you!!

First off, if you don't use Firefox or haven't discovered the magical wonders of tabbed browsing, then you MUST download (FREE) it from HERE!

Now for the extensions (add-ons) that I love!
• StumbleUpon - This is a really cool way to surf the internet. All you do is check mark some categories you are interested in (pets, movies, politics, photos, etc) and when you click the Stumble button, it brings up a site that people have rated highly and fit one of the categories you like! You can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down depending on if you like it. That helps it know what to show you. SO COOOL!!

• IE Tab - This allows you to bring up an Internet Explorer tab inside of Firefox. It is perfect for viewing pages that don't look as good or work in Firefox without having to use a whole new window. VERY handy!

• Tab Mix Plus - Allows you to customize your tabbed browsing. You can move tabs around, create multiple layers, change the font when the page has loaded, put close buttons on each tab, etc. You can turn on or off all the features. Very handy!

• Forecast Fox - Keeps a current forecast in the bottom right corner of your browser. You can even go into settings and change the icons to whatever style you want. You can also customize how many days you want it to show, etc.

• Search Engines - Did you know that you can customize the search buttons in the top right corner Firefox search box?? You can instantly search anything from the Food Network to Wikipedia to Webster (to spell check). Here are some of my favs:

Wikipedia
Webster
IMDB
Food Network
Ebay
You Tube

They are REALLY quick and easy to add-on. GET THEM HERE.

Wow, cool!

Got these from THIS website.

In a crappy day... This made me laugh!

And a couple more super-adorable ones just for fun.

Baby fever!!

I was introduced to my friend's beautiful baby girl a couple days ago. Mom, Dad and baby are doing great and just seem so incredibly happy!

How can I NOT want babies after spending time with her?!?

I tried...

I tried to make a cute little logo to sign my posts with. But it just came out all fuzzy. :(



Oh well.. I'll try again later. Any suggestions? Leave 'em in comments. I could use some constructive criticism.

UPDATE: Is this any better?

It's that time again...

Fall Quarter started this week. I'm taking:

• Business Law
• International Business
• Accounting II
• Keyboarding (HA!! Required for my Exec Assistant Cert)

Prepare for some venting about working full time and taking very-full time school.

Shoe Wants

I saw these two super-cute (and supposedly very comfortable) shoes in my new Real Simple magazine for top rated black pumps.

From Gianni Bini



**drool** I really need a pair of comfy black pumps.

T.O. Tried to commit Suicide!!

DALLAS (Sept. 27, 2006) -- Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened, according to a police report obtained Wednesday.

The report said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, `Yes."'

Read the rest HERE.

I can't beleive it!! This man needs to get into some hard core counseling ASAP. If he got his personal crap together, he could be a really great thing for the Cowboys.

Random Photo of my Brother

He started his first day of college yesterday (my how they grow) and I told him about my blog and how he should check it out... So I thought I'd throw a photo of him for when he shows. *hehe*
