Yup, that worked. Moods are better again. I even forgot that I was in a bad mood earlier. It's 2:40am and I'm exhausted but not quite enough to sleep. I have completed my first swap...it was only by email but still I've completed it. I've gotten 2 ratings so far (out of 5) and they've both been excellent ratings so it's made my day. I was a little nervous about it. For this swap we just had to send our assigned partners a link to a website (www.43things.com) and specify our actual page of goals. Mine is http://www.43things.com/person/Ellocin if you care to check it out. Too get an exceptional rating you need to do a little something extra....that something is up to you. Even then it's not guaranteed you'll rate exceptionally. A score of 5 is the usual rating if you have met all swap requirements, getting a heart along with it is exceptional. I decided to make up signature tags (personalized images used at the end of emails) in Paint Shop Pro, an old hobby of mine so last night I downloaded a trial version of PSP, today I found a nice and free snowflake tube (special type of image used in PSP) and made up some cute little tags and personalized them for each of my partners. I had fun even though I kept it really basic because I just plain forget how to do most of the stuff in PSP. So far 2 of my partners have thought they were great and deserving of a heart. I guess that's enough babbling on about that. I'm just so happy the swap is going well so far.Mom and I did a lot of shopping. I think I spent almost as much on myself as I did on others. Opps. I can't seem to help it. Some of it was necessities though. My goodness though, by the time we finished I could barely walk another step. My ankles hurt but they are not swollen...felt like they were though. My back was a bit sore too...but not from yesterday. It gets sore from too much mall walking...I think it's whatever they use for flooring. I found one thing that I've been having an extremely hard time finding. Two years ago I went to Boston and at the Hard Rock Cafe they had these huge "man-sized" coffee mugs and I got one for my brother-in-law. Well a month or so ago it broke and it was his favorite mug. He loved the size of it. So I went on a mission to find another "man-sized" mug for him for Christmas. Do you know how hard it is to find those?! I pretty much tried every store I could think of and nothing even came close until today when I went to Eddie Bower. They had ones the right size. Not only that, but they were on SALE!!! WooHoo!

Have a good rest!
