Obsessions over the years.

1. Cows. Don’t ask me why, I have no idea. Thankfully this one is over.
2. Key chains. I used to collect them as a kid. I had no keys but I certainly had key chains.
3. Monet. Waterlilies everywhere.
4. Chat. When I first discovered the Internet, I found chat. Loved it so much that I would go to school even when I didn’t have class to get online.
5. Madonna, New Kids on the Block. I kept scrapbooks. I think I still have the Madonna one.
6. Phil Collins. A very unhealthy obsession
7. Shopping. My lifelong obsession
8. Chococat/Hello Kitty
9. Chocolate. ‘Nuff said.
10. Twilight/Sookie Stackhouse … Edward Cullen
11. Daisies, owls, the word believe
12. Blogging
13. Coupons

What about you? What are your obsessions?

Random things that just popped in my head.

1. I’ve been pondering this for a while. When Starbucks adds whipped cream to my drink, what am I supposed to do with it? Am I supposed to do the adult thing and let it sink into the drink, or the kid thing (what I really want to do) and open the top and lick it all off?
2. Weight. Screw it.
3. Thinking about maybe, someday I might think about the prospect of procreating.
4. I have a lovely husband.
5. I’ve been thinking about taking on less projects. Maybe I can actually get something done that way.
6. I leave work early for an appointment today. No, not that kind.
7. I haven’t been keeping up on my blog reading. See #5.
8. My posable Kermit the Frog has been showing up in all kinds of funny places in funny positions. Maybe I’ll show you someday. See #5.
9. I haven’t made an actual dinner in quite a while. What should I make?
10. I’ve been into Geneology lately (See #5) and have discovered so far that I’m mostly English and Irish. So far. I can’t find much about Dad’s side.
11. I’m wearing $5 shoes.
12. I’m already thinking about Christmas shopping. Must make a list. See #5.
13. I still like my job. I’m really lucky. Thank you.

We’ve been upgrading people at work from Internet Explorer to Firefox and darnit if people don’t like change. I’m all about change – I find it fun and exciting. I’ve been using Firefox for years – it offers safer web-browsing, easy navigation from page-to-page with tabs and the ability to add-on and extend it’s capabilities.

Today I’m going to talk about my thirteen favorite add-ons for Firefox

1. ForecastFox - Get international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com and display them in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable and unobtrusive extension.
2. Google Toolbar – Access to all of your Google goodness.
3. Yoono
4. IE Tab – View a page in Internet Explorer within Firefox,
5. Multi-row bookmarks – Not enough room for bookmarks on your toolbar? That’s OK, have another!
6. Quick Restart – Need to restart Firefox? Save time and do it in one-click.
7. FireFTP - Good for web-geeks like me. Who needs a separate ftp application when you can transfer files in your browser. Sweeeet!
8. Autopager – Hate to click next and wait for the next page of search results to load? AutoPager automatically loads next pages when you reach the end of a page – and extends your current page with the new page. No clicking required!
9. Autocopy - Select text and it’s automatically copied to the clipboard.
10. Xmarks – Xmarks is the #1 bookmarking add-on. Install it on all your computers to keep your bookmarks and (optionally) passwords backed up and synchronized.
11. Fireshot – Creates screenshots of web pages.
12. ColorZilla – Customizing html somewhere and need a color code. This cool eyedropper (a la photoshop) picks up any color on your screen and spits out the code. Excellente!
13. Better Gmail 2 – Add useful extra features to Gmail, like hierarchical labels, an unread message icon on your browser tab, file attachment icons, and more.
