Hmmm, perhaps Changing Rooms would be a better description. See, as the female was attempting to determine the ultimate layout of the kids room, we hit upon the discovery that the only viable solution was to switch rooms with the kids.

Since the desk moved out of our bedroom and into the basement, our room has been very empty. A bed, dresser, TV, and not much else… And since the kids have toys, and more toys, and even more toys, and need a place to play, we switched. They got the big room. I’ll take my Parent of the Year award now…

Of course this changing of rooms comes at a price. I spent half the day yesterday painting, and the rest of the day moving furniture. My arm went numb…

Well, we did not win the van as was greatly anticipated yesterday, despite all of the Positive Energy! that was sent our way.

I walked into the dealership and immediately saw we did not win. I still checked, and re-checked the numbers. Three times. Maybe four. They didn’t magically change at anytime. Damn…

We did get free movie passes, well, they’ll be mailed to us anyway. When I got home the whole family was depressed. We really believed we could win.

On the way back to the car I noticed something. There was a new van in the parking lot with the key just sitting there in the driver side door. Obviously this was a sign, keys don’t just show up in a new van for no reason. So, I got in and drove it home. Ok, I didn’t really get in and drive it home. I thought about it for a half second. Ok, a full second, but I mean, I didn’t like the color, and besides, I wasn’t 100% sure that this was an OK thing to do, I believe some dealerships frown upon your driving away with their vehicles without working out some sort of a payment plan first…

Tomorrow the kids and I will go to the Family Fun Fair, and attempt to win prizes there. That’s it!

Spurred on by nf0’s mention of a search plugin for nf0’s Life, I finally got around to uploading the Mycroft plugins I made long ago. See the Mycroft Plugins page for details… [IE users need not apply, it’s a Mozilla-thang…]

(And keep that Positive Energy! flowing!)

It’s not often we ask for help here.

But this time we need help.

As you know, we’ve had some recent van problems, and as it’s well known, we don’t exactly have the funds to replace our current van with anything else besides a bicycle, and fitting two adults and two children on one bicycle proves rather difficult.

So, am I asking for donations? No such thing! What I am asking for is this… Positive Energy!

See, yesterday in the mail I received a card from the local car dealership, I think they got my address from the time I brought the car in to be fixed and they charged me a lot of money, anyway, they are giving away a van. It’s a van valued at $30,000 USD, which is about $25,000 USD more than what we paid for our current van. Obviously this is a sign, these cards don’t just show up in your mailbox for no reason.

So here’s the plan, I would like to win this van, and give it to the female. This would make her very happy. All you have to do is send the Positive Energy! my way today. Especially this evening when I go to the dealership and see if I’ve got the winning numbers.

I’m asking all readers of this site to do this. (Both of you.)

Again, it’s not often that we ask much from you, but this is the big one…

(P.S. If you’re into that praying thing, feel free to do that as well.)

Remember: Positive Energy!
