All Over The Map

October 16, 2007

Do y’all remember the cartoons with Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner? I’ve been thinking about how that coyote pursued the roadrunner with such a passion. The image in my mind is of the times he ran blindly toward that bird and ran smack dab into a wall (or other obstacle), and slid down to [...]

I’ll Show You Mine, You Show Me Yours

October 3, 2007

I talked about secrets in the blog world the other day. I think that there are some things that should be kept quiet. But, then there are other things that I will blab about all day. I showed you how I fool my husband into thinking I cook. I tell you lots of silly things [...]

“Rock The Rock Chick’s World” Raffle

August 28, 2007

Well, y’all we didn’t really “rock her world,” we just kept it from sliding out from under her. We tried everything we knew to do to get Jessica The Rock Chick on the A-List. Technorati is taking away her links faster than we can add them. My friend Harlekwin, at Boho Rhap, says it’s like [...]

Another Hodge Podge Post

August 24, 2007

Have y’all ever been sitting on the porch chatting with friends and found the conversation changing from one topic to the next with lightning speed? This is one of those kinds of entries. I’ve got a lot I’m thinking about this morning, and so I’m putting it all together piecemeal. I’m switching back and forth [...]

Thursday Thirteen #23—-If I Could Only Find My Glasses

August 16, 2007

I’ve been drinking my coffee trying to muster the oomph to write a Thursday Thirteen, my friends. I love participating in this meme, because you can meet some wonderful bloggers. I’m having a little difficulty writing today. I’m writing this with my husband’s glasses perched on my nose. His eyesight is better than mine, so [...]

A Hodge Podge

August 14, 2007

This is just a jumble of several things that I needed to get said. I thought it would be an easy post to put together, but there are a lot of links. I’m mostly sending you to some of my favorite people, and I hope you like them, too. Don’t you love that picture? Those [...]

I’ve Got My Eye On YOU

July 26, 2007

YIKES! OK, I know that picture is a little scary. Sorry. I just want to get the point across that I’m spending Friday looking at you. I’m reading your blogs. I’m answering comments that have been sitting here for more than a week (so don’t be surprised if you hear from me, at last). I’m [...]

Quick Link Love

July 12, 2007

Before you skip down to read my Thursday Thirteen, I want to offer some quick link love (and I may update it later today). Fourier Analyst is an ex-pat living in the Netherlands with a pre-teen daughter. Since she is relatively new to blogging, she hasn’t yet developed a supportive reader base (but she will!)She’s [...]

The Power of Schmooze

July 8, 2007

Whoot! “I’m bona fide!” Sandee, over at Comedy Plus, gave me an award for “schmoozing” ability. I now officially have the power of schmooze! For a person who spent most of her life being considered “shy,” this award is an honor (and a surprise) indeed! Thank you, Sandee. I consider you a schmoozer of great [...]

A Well Bred Texan Does Not Brag

July 1, 2007

At the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo many years ago, I met a long lanky man in a cowboy hat. His crisp white shirt was starched, his jeans were pressed, and his boots were made of ostrich skin, but they were “working boots.” When we were introduced, he shook my hand and smiled [...]

I’ll Brag On Me AND I’ll Brag On You!

June 25, 2007

Having a “Spam Blocker” on my website is a wonderful thing, most of the time. But, I forget to check it so I sometimes miss out on things. Over the weekend, I discovered I had totally overlooked an opportunity to brag! I’m a Texan, and we are supposed to do that, but I was raised [...]

Link Love

June 23, 2007

A few days ago, y’all, I noticed that some evil spammer had swooped into my archives and was leaving comments like, “Nice Blog! afglxt” or “Good post! qetipxl.” From the address that they left, I knew that if any of my readers clicked on them to follow the links they would get “phished,” or something. [...]

The Face Behind The Hands

June 12, 2007

I was tagged by Derek Wong, at Going the Wong Way, for the Face Behind the Blog meme. He had a good one with pictures from his childhood and a funny current one. It’s kind of nice to have a face to go with the words. Now, y’all, I haven’t been shy about putting my [...]

Knowing the “Elephant”

June 5, 2007

I’ve been pondering peace as the Blogblast for Peace approaches. I think that war and prejudices often begin from hatred, that hatred is an offshoot of fear, and that fear is born of ignorance. I don’t mean “ignorance” as in “stupid,” but as in “not knowing.” In this day of the World Wide Web, we [...]

My Comment Box Led Me To Some Link Love

June 1, 2007

I’ve already posted once today with some links, but they were technical links, and not everyone enjoys those. Then I started trying to answer my comments and found some more stuff to share! I’m into “link love]” today. If you follow all the links I’ve given you in that last post and this one, you [...]

Links from My “Google Reader Monster”

June 1, 2007

I’ve created a MONSTER! A Google Reader Monster! I’m having a devil of a time with it! I add blogs that I enjoy to my Google Reader, and sit down with a cup of coffee each morning to read. My problem is that I’m not good with organizing. If you have noticed that already, you [...]
