I wrote a “Friday Five” that consisted of five snail jokes. I have a private collection of snail jokes that I tell when I’m asked (which honestly NEVER happens) or I feel the party is in need of a little light snail humor. If you must, you can see the orginal post: Here. Now, I […]
My blog’s birthday
My blog is one year old today. I thought I would celebrate by reposting the very first thing I wrote here. It was email correspondence between me and my friend, Vicki. Everyone should have a friend like her. Thanks for reading me! I am just as bewitched by blogging as I was when I started […]
Charles Leadbeater at Ted Talks
Awesome discussion addressing an issue close to my heart: journalism and the blogger. Even more exciting, the idea of amateur professionals (Pro-Ams), creative people committed to doing things well and with passion. Leadbeater’s idea of the new organization models sounds like OPPORTUNITY. There are still rules, just new ones.
Today’s snapshot: Right back at ‘ya Foolery
So, this is the classic blog photo: A shot of the blogger, taken by the blogger in their mirror. Almost every blog has at one time or another sported this picture. My guess is it’s because: A. blogger has been banned from mentioning blog ever again to friends, hence, hindering ability to ask someone to […]
Miss Cellania
There are some blogs that have been there with me from the very beginning. I first met Miss Cellania when she linked to my “Note found in the fridge” , way back when my blog was an itsy bitsy baby. Miss Cellania has links, doctored-up photos staring Miss C. herself and YouTube videos from anywhere […]
I got nothin’
I don’t know if it’s summer, the heat, my new bangs, but I am feeling uninspired. I have been here before and I know it will pass. Because I’m basically an optimist, I think this must just be a refueling time for me. I’m still storing up ideas–just have no desire to spill them onto […]
Sincerely ‘Fro Me to You: 8th grade graduation
There I am, graduation 8th grade in 1983. I love this picture, braces and all. It brings back that afternoon in June so many years ago with crystal clear glee. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Do you remember that feeling of being completely unfettered and joyful? School was over and […]
Come as you are…seriously, don’t reapply
I have been reading Mindy at The Mommy Blog for an entire week now. Now, some of you will hear “The Mommy Blog” and instantly think there will be posts about needlessly meticulous and overcomplicated crafts, thirty-four step recipes involving saffron, and a story about how she breast fed while pushing her double stroller across […]
I’m a guest blogger over at Grow-a-Brain
Today, I’m guest blogging over at Grow-a-Brain. I pieced together a post all about my girl Jane Austen and Hanan was kind enough to accept it. Check it out here–Jane Austen’s World. Grow-a-Brain is a daily themed, eclectic blog. Basically, sending you to some of the weirdest, wildest and funniest stuff on the internet. Not […]
Twitter Widget
I have just added Twitter to my blog. I was having trouble getting it up on my site initially and had to write the crack team at Typepad for help–seriously, they are good. This is part of the message I sent to them…”having problems with my Twitter Widget?” I just think that’s funny, Twitter Widget. […]
