Ze-whoa…
I knew I was going to have both my new class during the week and a advanced weather workshop tomorrow afternoon so I decided not to sweat it and do some housecleaning on the site as I got the chance. The upside is that as I was tweaking some stuff behind the scenes I ran across what appears to be a phenomenal blogging plug-in for both web browsers and WordPress called Zemanta that will help find related images, articles, or whatever – as you’re writing! The truly neat thing is that you can use your favorite sources as well as the greater web to search for stuff. Seriously, I’ve seen a lot of things pitched over the years as being great for this or that in terms of blogging – some … Read entire article »

I can identify with the fish
I surely can. see more Lolcats and funny pictures, and check out our Socially Awkward Penguin lolz! Because that’s the way my life’s been this last week or so. Seems like every time I take two steps forward, I end up two steps back. Or something else distracts me. Oooo, see the pretty light over there. Let’s go follow it. But it’s not all bad. Actually, none of it’s really bad, just, you know, normal life stuff, if you know what I mean. Anyway, when I started posting again at the first of the year, I committed to getting something up at least once a week and I still feel that way. Life, however, has other ideas so I’m attempting to adapt the game plan somewhat. Put it this way, I literally have lists of ideas … Read entire article »

Does it make me smile?
A few days before Christmas, the strap on my handbag broke and I decided to treat myself to a last minute Christmas present so I stopped by J C Penney with my daughter. I’ve always liked their selection because most of them are organizer bags, they come in a wide range of sizes and materials, are well-made and durable plus there are usually reasonable sales at certain times, namely Christmas, Easter or the beginning of … Read entire article »

Taking the time to listen – to myself
Sometime last year I realized how tired I was of endlessly discussing romance novels online. Yeah, there I said it. Okay, to be fair, it wasn’t so much talking about them altogether as the repetitive way we romance fans tend to beat some topics surrounding them to death at times. That may or may not sound like a strange, rather contradictory thing to say, but it’s a true one, nonetheless. Then again, I also considered that maybe it had more to do with personal perspective than actual topic repetition. What I mean is simply this, as both a longtime reader of romances and someone who has been online talking about them for almost two decades, I decided that maybe, just maybe, I needed a tad bit more than simply a short, quick … Read entire article »

Meet my new bestest friend, sort of
He’s the newest addition to our family, a smallish-sized pit bull mix we fondly call Bruno. (More on the significance of the name in a bit.) It’s possible he may be a future guest contributor to the blog if all goes well. Hey, he likes a good yarn, particularly if they’re action-oriented but he also has a soft spot for the mushy stuff, too, so we’re a good match. . Here’s the thing, last year, we lost not one, but three long-time pets, two cats and a dog, all from old age. We still had two cats in the house both in their prime, so we weren’t actively looking for a dog but we do live on a farm. We’re used to having a dog around and it was time, I think. Plus, … Read entire article »

Summers over
And it’s time to clean up the clutter that’s piled up while I’ve been taking some time off from blogging this summer. So, if you hear some pops and clanks or things kind of blink in and out over the next few days, just ignore the deranged woman behind the curtain muttering to herself about strangling, er, sweet talking tech geeks. I’m trying to add some social networking buttons to pages before I start posting again and they’re not appearing where I want them to. Or, like, at all. I may have to even change the blog template, which really makes me want to strangle someone. I like the one I have now. Back to reading help pages and diggin through code. Sigh.
