- Job hunt equals much frustration and serious self-confidence destruction and minor depression.
- Next round of the Friending Frenzy to follow shortly. If anyone else wants in on the action, let me know. I have at least two more people interested.

- Thank heavens for new Signing Time videos. Sophie is being terribly cute by searching the house for Hopkins (the frog) right now. I love that kid to pieces!
- I will eventually get around to responding to the recent post/poll about the crafts. I greatly appreciate all of your responses, even if it was to just vote in the poll. That helps me tremendously.
- Someone once asked how my username came about. I believe she said something like, "What exactly is a 'sm00bs'?" Well... here's the answer, because I know you're all dying to know. Back in the day, I used to have an AOL account (I mean, really back in the day). I had fun hanging around in the chat rooms there and came up with the screen name of Sm00chies. No idea why, but that's what it was (Smoochies was already taken). In the chat room I frequented, people often called me Sm00 or Sm00byDoo. Sm00byDoo stuck when I moved over to IRC (yes, I'm that sort of geek), so that was my original nick there. Of course, one of my dear friends always called me sm00bs and eventually I caved and just changed my nick permanently. I assumed he just called me sm00bs because it was a shorter version of Sm00byDoo. Apparently, while that was part of it, it wasn't the whole reason. Yes, it had something to do with boobs, even though he'd never seen mine (still hasn't). Silly boys. It's not a very exciting story, but there it is. I kept it because it was my name for years before I started LJ. I tried using ellemenno at one point, but just couldn't get into it.
- I will hopefully be posting about some of the recent campaigns for BzzAgent. I now have two cans of Oust, a Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner, and coupons to Chili's for free burgers. I'm going to do a little poll to see what opinions other people have of these products soon.
- If any of you are looking for good music in podcast form, perfect length to burn on a CD for a car ride, check out

starpush's monthly release of Soundtrack. This last Show, Class Is in Session, is excellent! I know some of you share my taste in music, and even B found this show entertaining. I highly recommend it! - One of these days I'll get around to playing with icons. I think I need a little play time.
- It's time to get really serious about my sewing. I might even take a class or two. The more I think about it, the more I want to make the Etsy thing work.
- Eventually I'll get some pictures and videos posted of Sophie. I just have to get the videos uploaded and go through the pictures.
- Gah. Much stress weighing be down right now.
Carry on.

seriously down

Thanks for letting us know where the name
Pst... that's not me. I have zeros. ;)
Yeah, that's one of the reasons I've been struggling with a name for the labels. Damn zeros!! ;)
Okay, you're in. I will most likely be posting that tonight... or tomorrow. :)
Does the friend know that "moobs" are the brit term for man-boobs?
That's too cute!
*giggle*
See, if I'd know of that, I'd say your labels should be ellemenno designs.
I maybe could change it to ellemennopea....?
That'd be great - bummer on a clothes line already taking it.
It's a great one -- really!
I was debating starting a line for me, called Stella Gialla (yellow star in italian?) - since I'm Stella, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE yellow, but I had the same thing - taken by a tiny clothing store in NY...
It seems NOTHING is original anymore, you know?
It's becoming more and more difficult to be creative, really!!
By the way... when we're home next (probably not until January) I definitely want to get together! By that time, I think Maggie will be old enough that Sophie won't completely mow her down. ;)
