man, my feet hurt. fyi, don't believe land's end when they tell you how fabulous their new flip flops are and they've got soles like tennis shoes, e.v.a. something or other, blah, blah, blah. they are still flat little shoes that offer no actual support. darn that snazzy blurb they write that makes me feel like my flip flop collection isn't complete if i don't order them right away and oh my gosh they're on sale too-aaahhhh!

okey dokey then, on to my list of 8 habits/facts/tidbits about me, courtesy of a tag from my gal pal christina. i want to try not to repeat anything i've said before in one of these, so this'll probably be more of a "current facts about joanna" list:

1) i love flip flops. are you surprised, after what you just read? i totally love them, wear them as long into the fall/winter as possible. ask aaron, he'll tell you all about it (and do a lot of eye rolling), he'll also tell you that i might try to convince you that i started the recent flip flop craze, from wearing my "shower shoes" all over, including the bars, back in college. there were some other trends i started but that's another post....

2) my computer screen is convulsing right now. i'm using mozilla, and while i'm trying to switch all my bookmarks over to explorer, i'm having a hard time making the transition and find i keep opening up this browser instead. wouldn't be so bad if i hadn't deleted something (maybe it was important) and now my screen seems to twitch. i feel a little crazed looking at it but i just can't tear myself away from my mozilla.... (not the best "fact" about me but i wanted to share).

3) i recently found i was having a hard time remembering the order of the lyrics from paul simon's boy in the bubble when i found info on the actual boy in the bubble. wow. this was a bit before my time and my only real knowledge of this kid was the "inspired by a true story" movie with john travolta, which was itself haunting but still not the real thing. i started reading all about the boy, and another guy who suffered from the same condition. talk about depressing. anyway....

4) i just saw the movie hairspray-very fun! love musicals, loved the original john waters hairspray. this one was great, but it's a little hard to get over john travolta in drag the whole time, somehow in the first one divine wasn't distracting at all as a big fat woman.

5) my favorite musical is bye bye birdie. i would love to see this one re-made someday--sweet high school girl and cute high school boy in boring old ohio and then boom! sweet young girl is randomly picked to kiss hot rock star before he goes into the army--how could that not be a big hit???

6) something is wrong with my camera. it's sad and it's not. i have been puzzled for soooooooo long as to why something is wrong with my focus--my shutter speeds are good, my ISO is fine, i know what i'm doing, but something is just not checking out. by now it's clear that it's a motor problem (or something, i don't know the technical/internal junk) and while it stinks that it has to be fixed, i'm so glad to know the answer to my issues and now i can get better results.

7) i really want to learn to quilt. i've been seeing some awesome fabrics online and i would love to make some bright, candy-colored wall hangings or something. my friend jennifer said we could do a craft night and i told her i want quilting lessons! and if you're out there becky-you too! and i want to use your embroidery machine! i love crafts!

8) i am totally jealous of my friend dori's cowboy boots and am considering taking a horseback riding class just so i can get some. my other idea was finally taking the beginning motorcycle rider class i've signed up for twice but had to cancel--they say you need boots, how perfect!


well, i'm sure you all just loved that free-association type list. i'm off to bed, giving these aching flip flop feet a break :)

i LOVE firefox. i use it everyday while mike uses explorer all the time. it started when i had a problem accessing my beta yahoo mail through explorer for some reason. I NEEDED MY BETA! so i tried firefox and it worked fine! and it seems to download things faster with dial up so i never switched back.

just wanted to make you feel okay about the whole mozzilla thing. besides, it reminds me of godzilla and he's pretty cool.

Those are COOL boots! : ) I'd take horse lessons with you in a heartbeat if my back would cooperate!

Really, its OK to buy yourself cowboy boots just because you like them.
That said, wouldn't it be fun to take long horse rides through the country together? Actually, the way I'm going I think it will be long time before I'm allowed out of the arena...

i know becki, isn't firefox great? i figured since explorer has tabs now i should go back to it, but it's still not as good as firefox in my opinion. or i'm just not used to it.

for the longest time i called it foxfire, which really annoyed aaron.

donita-aren't those great? hard to believe dori almost didn't get 'em. i drool just looking at the picture!

dori-that would be a riot, all of us on horses! you know, the more i think about it, the most i like the idea of trying riding lessons.....hmmmm, i might have to try it. i don't know if i would be safer on a motorcycle or on a horse...
