Missin' You Like Crazy

Hello my dear - greetings from the internet. I hope you understand how much I miss you and don't really want to be away from you. I hope you get a good weekend of training in so you can feel as strong as I know you are. You are going to kick some butt in Madison just from giving 110% like you always do.

I've tried to add a little bit of stuff for you to look at and hope you enjoy. I'm sure I'll talk to you one jillion times anyways:)

New Music - to keep you occupied, check out the new playlist on Itunes...MazzyGetsLove

We've talked about cycling across the country:

ROUTES AND MAPS is a good spot along the left side
Portrait Gallery is also pretty cool

FLOR - absolutely lovin' this stuff. I think the link below shows some cool ideas...I didn't check really close but maybe it would help paint ideas or some other modern design ideas.

Google Reader Stuff
  • First, sign into "your" Gmail (this will make sense later why I say "your") and then click on READER in the upper-left corner. (I'm pretty sure this you already know.)
  • From there, there is a button (again in the upper-left) that says "Add a subscription"...click this.
  • A little window comes up that gives you a place to type the address. But wait, I don't know the address huh?
  • If you know what the address is, you can type it if not...maybe try loading mine into your reader.
  • All the way at the bottom-left of the READER is a little tiny blue link that says "Manage Subscriptions"...click this.
  • A big orange page comes up...titled Settings...click the tab that says "Import/Export"
  • A little ways down will be a "Browse..." button - next to the "Select and OMPL file:" box
  • Click Browse...find your desktop in the little box that comes up and then look for the file that is titled "google-reader-subscriptions"...click on this file then click OPEN
  • This should take you back to the orange page-click the Upload button.
  • I think that should just bring all my subscriptions over into your READER. You might have to click on "Back to google reader"...Browse, delete, whatever.
  • If not you have to google the blogs you like or click on links from other blogs...look for something like "Subscribe to..." usually way at the bottom of the post. After clicking this, it gives you a button (said in Michigan accent of course) that you can "Add to google reader"
  • Hmmm...was that enough typing for how to do that?
POVERTY DIET
Steve Quick has a great post on this...in case you don't get to all the above stuff...it's worth a read.

OK, I think that's enough from me. Hope you have fun and miss me like I miss you. Talk to you soon, be safe, and get ready for my return...you are going to get it ;)
