HA! This is the first thing that has made me burst out in laughter all day! (I missed ELLEN)
Your post led me to actually started looking around the office to see who was spyin on me! After reading every step I was sayin, "hey that's what I did!" (except the coffee and computer switching)
THIS IS NUTS... *big grin...
After looking at countless blogs for the past two days (-- okay, it's not like I sat in front of the pc for 48 HOURS... just WITHIN 48 hours... ---) yours is the only one that peaked my interest!
