Bag zipping, laundry folding, laundry washing, dishwasher swishing, legs limping, Isaac singing, Patrick whining, Carrie sorting, Mom stressing, Lard working, cats sweating, dogs panting – today is the last day before my mom and Lard leave for Buffalo, New York/Niagara Falls. Isaac may be going to Lard’s parents for the week. If he does, it will be just Carrie and I going to our Bebe’s house. It’s been a busy week, you know?
- I rewrote my about me section.
- I wrote the purpose of Fin[1. You might want to read my about page first to understand where I got the name from.] on the “site” page.
- I fixed beefly.me. Lard said all he sees is “Beefly Me”. -.- WHOIS recognized it as BeeFly.me. π
As far as I go, I’m exhausted.
I’m getting S’buck’s tomorrow.
Did you know that Starbuck’s is abbreviated as *$.

Fin is so cute! Can’t wait to see what more you have in store for him. π
Liz
@Tina,
Haha, thanks. π
Christine
Hey Fin is really cute! I like him, and I like the backstory as well. Enjoy your S-bucks tomorrow, it sounds like you definitely deserve it. What do you usually order?
Liz
@Christine, Haha, thanks. π He’s sort of a step up from a website character I had from 2004 to 2006 or so – a monkey for my website sillymonkees.com, whenever I was an immature 9th grader. Haha. π
I don’t really usually order anything in particular. I think I have developed a nut allergy, so that crosses out a few things… I break out and itch after eating anything like that. π Grr. I’m lactose intolerant, so there goes the things on half of their menu… I think I should have asked about the blender before I ordered their new Mocha Coconut Frapp. >.< Or it was the coconut, because according to the FDA, coconut is a tree nut. :/
So…smoothies are normally the best option for me, unfortunately. π But… I do love smoothies! π
Shiri
Hey, Liz…
I wish we had starbucks in Finland. I guess the closest one is in.. hmm, is there a starbucks in Sweden? Oh well at least there are in the UK. I should visit there some weekend π Haha.
Liz
@Shiri,
I don’t know if there are any SB’s in Sweden – I live in the United States of America, haha. We have them everywhere, pretty much… Except for the city I live in, of course. -.- It’s more of a rural area, though. π
Tricia
Hey, Liz…
I’ve had a pretty busy week, too in the office.
*$?? REALLY? Never knew that. You know what, my latest post is also Starbucks related. Hihi.
Liz
@Tricia,
Haha, that’s pretty funny. π
Kris
Lol, the beginning of this sounds like a sort of poem or tale. π Cute. So lucky they are going to Niagara Falls. I love it there in the summer, it’s so nice and cool.
Haha sometimes I wonder if people (probably you if you go casual to the grocery store) would think of me as shallow since I get dolled up wherever I go whenever I go. When I say that I mean I fix my hair and always wear something really nice, I don’t put on makeup or anything.
I guess that’s true. Not many good stories about online dating. I actually know someone who met a guy she met online. He’s not such a great person though so I guess that’s another failed one. They seem to like each other so maybe it’s not so fail?
OH DO YOU. I’M SO STUPID I DON’T HAVE A WEBCAM SOFTWARE. I saw my brother’s laptop and he say anything about having a software??!!!
They do have monthly quarterly etc I’m just not sure how much they cost. I haven’t exactly checked.
Liz
@Kris,
Yeah, my mom wants to go back up there with the family – and we’ll all have passports – so we’ll be able to go to the Canada side! AHHHH. I WANT TO GO TO CANADA. <3 Sorry, huge Degrassi fan!! >.<
I think that the only time I've ever went to the store in pajamas is whenever I was sick and just … didn't really have much of a choice. It was that I-feel-yucky-in-everything-else sort of feeling! π
Haha. Yeah, there's also speaker software… I don't remember exactly where you could go for it, though? Try going to the laptop company's website and contacting support for detailed help. ^^ It could also be built in and just need a setting changed. π
Amy
Hm, that reminds me. I have to re-write my “About Me” section as well. Unfortunately. I hate writing those types of pages.
I’m sorry to say, but I also saw “Beefly me” as well (at first).
Woah, I did not. Then I can say: Hey guys, I went to *$! π
Wait, that looks slightly like a censored out curse word…
Liz
@Amy,
Yeah, I don’t know if I’m still happy with my ‘new and improved’ about section. >.< I'll end up changing it again before summer's over!
Haha, I suppose it does, but the asterisk symbol, *, is commonly known as STAR, and $ is a dollar sign, or Starbuck's. π Er, it's a dollar sign if you live in the USA, anyway. π
Nancy
Hey, Liz…
Eep! That’s a lot of work right there! I hope you’ll get everything sorted out :P. I hope your mom and Tony will have fun at Niagara falls :)! It’s a beautiful place there :D! Sounds like an awesome plan :P!
Hope you had fun at Starbucks! I didn’t know starbucks is abbreviated to be $ :O! But it makes sense XD!
Take care!
Liz
@Nancy,
Oh, they did have fun! π They took pictures, but my mom plans to take us there sometime! π
Nugget
I hope you’re having fun over there. I have three days left until I go to Panama City, Florida, and my family so far has done nothing to prepare for our trip.
I just read the snippet about Fin and all I can say is that I really like the concept. π
Liz
@Nugget,
Haha, thank you. :3 And thank you for designing it. π
Unfortunately, the fish Fin had to be … well, may he rest in peace. >.< I wasn't so great at keeping plants/fish alive when I was in elementary school…
I'm back from my aunt's; I came back early. I feel pretty exhausted. π
emma
Hey, Liz…
if by old-timey you mean film, then yes! haha and thanks, its my puppy π sounds like you have been very busy!
Georgina
We don’t have many Starbucks cafes here anymore. I think they made far too many and then got broke. I didn’t know that was how it was abbreviated though, pretty cool. π
Fin is the name of my laptop, haha. π
Oh I’m glad Tony was proved wrong hahaha. WhoIs sees some of my domains the wrong way, but I don’t really care because it’s not quite the same situation as with “beefly”. It definitely says Bee Fly to me. π
I hope you have an alright week. π
Liz
@Georgina,
Haha, I had a fish named Fin. I wasn’t good at keeping fish/plants alive when I was young, though… This Fin is an image, though, so hopefully I won’t accidentally delete him? Or even lose him! π
I think it depends on the area; not all areas in the world are great for McDonald’s.
…My mom’s cat is staring at me and cuddling against me. She doesn’t even like me. I think I should go now, though, because she normally does this when it’s “time for bed”, and it’s 2:08am in the morning. Haha.
Aashni
Hey, Liz…
how are things going? I saw your tweet about some guy.. are you ok? I miss talking (more like bitching with) you!
Favicons are supposed to be 16×16 or 32×32.. but i wanted 48×48 so that, if i like the favicon, i can use it on my new layout as well as shrink it down to use as a favicon π lol i’m a cheap skate π
i hope you manage to get the TCG back up and running soon π x
Sydney
I hope your parents have fun on their trip. π I was just recently in the New England side of the USA. I hear it’s pretty hot out there right now, though, which wouldn’t be particularly attractive to me. I’m heading up to Maryland on July 27th, though, and I’ll be there for 2 weeks without my parents, and with my aunt, uncle, and two younger cousins. That’s the only trip I’m making this summer. :X
Aw, Fin is cute. :3 I’ve always thought about having a site mascot, but I think my site mascot would be beer or something. :S Or maybe something Irish, since my URL is a song from an Irish band…I don’t know!
I personally hate Starbucks, lol. I think their coffee is too overpriced and it isn’t even that good. I don’t drink coffee though, so I guess that might explain why I don’t like it. Still, it’s pretty expensive.
Liz
@Sydney,
I don’t really think of having a “site mascot”. I didn’t whenever I had a monkey for SillyMonkees.com in 2004, and I don’t think of Fin as a mascot now. I don’t really like the word for it, anyway. π
I don’t drink coffee, either, but SB’s is pretty good for a treat… I like the frapps. I’m allergic to half of the items on their menu, though, which is why I think of it as a big deal whenever I get something from there. π
Haha, awhh. I’ve made many different – and maybe odd – trips this summer: from going to the hospital for myself to going to the doctor’s to going to my aunt’s house. I’m pretty exhausted already. π
Deanna
Hey, Liz…
Haha, I always thought it said Beefly too. I’m glad that I now know it’s Bee Fly. Enjoy your starbucks. It sounds like you really need one.
Liz
@Deanna,
I did enjoy it, thank you! π
Melle lee
Hey, Liz…
Sounds like a crazy day huh? You should relax after having a busy week <3 I've also been busy lately doing some recommended products to those who requested it online.. it's not really easy doing one esp if it has something to do with skincare and makeup.. I should also get s'bucks i guess.. I forgot that i do have a free drink there
Liz
@Melle lee, I haven’t really had much time to relax since I got back home. Things have been pretty crazy and hectic, but not too bad. I’ll get my break pretty soon. ^^
I suppose having a free drink coupon for Starbuck’s is worth going for… And fast! Because they do expire!! :O
Isi
Thank you soo much. π The job is boring but i am so glad i have it. π
HTC is a phone and they have many versions of it. I have the inspire. HTC is awesome but all the apps is on Apple and they take forever to get too android so I that’s mostly my reason. π
Hahaha I see the site as bee fly.me π
Tran
Glad you mentioned what “S’bucks” is because I was confused, haha. We don’t have many Starbucks in Australia, not enough for it to be abbreviated at least.
Just read your new About Me page; I too tend to never finish the projects I start, haha.
Liz
@Tran,
Haha, I plan on fixing up my about section again some more… It takes a while for me to finally be happy with something like that! >.<
Oh, I didn't even realize that some people might not have known what it was… I forget that there are other things in the world besides what's here in the USA sometimes. π
