Umm…I got engaged this evening! Story to follow soon.

Appetizer
What is the weather like today where you live? Cool and dewy this morning, hot this afternoon most likely.

Soup
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you? Two, at the most. I have no career ambition. I have life ambition.

Salad
What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.? A couple of rooms have curtains, but most of them just have blinds.

Main Course
Name something that instantly cheers you up. Blackberries, You’ve Got Mail, cream cheese, pedicures, naps, Diet Dr. Pepper, my puppy, Kevin.

Dessert
How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning? Usually two.

I was intending to write something about the anti-christ today, but I need to fact check with my brother Kyle first. He’s an authority on the subject. So watch for that tomorrow probably.

Instead! I thought I would tell all of you that I have my “blogaversary” coming up. I don’t have the actual date that I started blogging. My first real, hosted domain featuring a blog was back in March or April of 2004, but I’ve been journaling online since sometime in the Spring of 2000. That makes me feel really old. I remember teaching myself basic HTML code when I was in 7th grade using services like gURLpages. Back in the day, my username everywhere, including on that first website I had in 1997, was ordinaryprincess. Isn’t that spectacularly adolescent of me? I thought so. Of course, back then I chose the name because I was convinced I would marry Prince William:

I’ll say about him what my Granny says about Elvis: We’ll never know what might have happened if we’d met.

Back to the topic at hand. I’m going to be celebrating my blogaversary on July 2nd, since that’s the oldest post I have here at Miss Wisabus. When this blog first started it was Smosey.com and was hosted by Cyberpixels. At first, CP was a phenomenal host. Quick to answer emails, very helpful, and not too expensive. And then something happened. I believe they sold the company to someone else. They stopped answering support calls, emails, everything. And to top it off they kept charging me even though I asked for their services to be terminated. Not long before they sold or whatever, they’d had a huge crash and lost most of my information. Approximately a year’s worth of blogging. Tragedy. So I salvaged what I could and skidattled over to DreamHost where I have been living on a fluffy white cloud of hosting bliss ever since (thanks to Brandon!). GodlyGals is also hosted there, along with KicktheAnthill.com (a new politics/culture/religion/Oklahoma blog started by a few friends).

So, what should I do to celebrate? The Redneck Diva had people ask her questions. I think that would be fun. Also, I think maybe I’ll do a little podcast for it as well. And just talk. Cause goodness knows one thing I’m good at is “just talking.” OH! And I think I’ll reveal a Top Secret Video of Miss Wisabus Singing in a Church Musical at Age 4. With fruit on my head. You do not want to miss that!

Folks! Submit your questions here in the comments, things you want to know about me, my life, love, and other mysteries (CCM fans…I kill, do I not?). You can also ask for me to photograph things and I’ll get them posted as well. Like I requested the Redneck Diva to do, I’m going to post a photo of the insides of things: my refrigerator, bathroom cabinet, closet, etc. This is gonna be fun!

Honestly, the only thing that could make this video any more perfect would be for my boyfriend to be in it. Other than that? Mike Rowe + Bear Grylls + Deadliest Catch guys = Perfection. I ♥ Discovery Channel.

George Carlin, May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008

To most people he was a foul-mouthed comic, but to me and my brothers, every afternoon George Carlin was Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station. I remember getting so excited hearing that theme come on TV. The show had something at its heart that meant a lot to me, and I think it was the make-believe aspect (much like Mr. Rogers). Is that anyone else’s biggest memory of him?

I am…when I was in junior high, I would have been all over this. It’s too bad that I’m 23 and have absolutely no excuse to go to their concert here in OKC on July 8. Maybe I’ll call my 14-year-old cousin and see if she needs a “chaperon.”

This weekend I was pretty sick with a stomach virus that I thought I was rid of by Monday. And then I had the pleasure of becoming violently ill 30 minutes before work was over and trying to maintain consciousness as I drove home in traffic while experiencing crippling abdominal pain and nausea. Oh yeah. I’m feeling better now after resting for the day, but things are still a little funny in my tummy. I’ll be back to regular posting soon.

Working on a redesign. Mostly because I can’t sleep.

Thirteen Song That Remind Me of My Childhood

1. Hangin’ In - Tanya Tucker

2. Gonna Take A Lot of River - The Oak Ridge Boys

3. God Blessed Texas - Little Texas — Warning: There are scantily clad women in this video. Forget Barbie, it’s the girls in bikinis in this video that messed up my body image…

4. Ships That Don’t Come In - Joe Diffie — I remember, back when we were after Saddam the first time, how people would call in and request this song for fallen soldiers. I still get goosebumps and want to cry just thinking about it. Seems appropriate again.

5. I’ll Make Love To You - Boyz II Men — Let me be upfront and tell you that this was my favorite song in 5th grade and I had no idea what it was about. And now it makes me laugh to think about how often I listened to this song.

6. Daddy’s Money - Ricochet

7. Remember Me This Way - Jordan Hill

8. Something to Talk About - Bonnie Raitt

9. Is There Life Out There - Reba McEntire

10. Boot Scootin’ Boogie - Brooks & Dunn
