I’m Afraid It’s All About Me

March 31, 2008

I don’t do ” me-me-me memes” very often, but my friend SusieJ recently e-mailed me to tell me to do this one. I always do what SusieJ says. Why, if she told me to jump off a cliff… …I’d find a very short cliff. This Links Around The World meme got passed to her by [...]

Results of the This Post Blows My Dress Up Contest

March 29, 2008

Y’all, Damien is fast! He’s already picked a winner in the This Post Blows My Dress Up Contest, and I figured it would take him all weekend! This wasn’t an easy task I asked of him. I just want to say that you folks “did me proud.” That’s Texan speak, for “you did a fine [...]

These Posts Scare Me Silly!

March 28, 2008

Whew! Third post of the day…how do people do this? On top of posting, I’ve been writing contracts all day so I get to eat this summer! Gotta bring home the bacon. Thanks to all of you who participated (or promoted) the This Post Blows My Dress Up Contest! It’s now officially closed, and the [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number Forty—Things I’m Learning From Blogging

March 27, 2008

Y’all, I’m about to celebrate a blogging anniversary. Though I have been blogging since January of 2007, I migrated to WordPress and my own domain in April. It’s been quite a “ride.” During the course of this blogging experience, I’ve learned a lot of things about it, about people, and about me. For this Thursday, [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number Thirty-Nine. The Game Is Afoot.

March 13, 2008

CONTEST IS CLOSED TO NEW ENTRIES Actually, it’s not a game. It’s a WRITING CONTEST. It’s been awhile since I had one, and I figured it was time. My “bloggiversary” is coming at the end of this month, and I want to celebrate. I want to read some good stories. A long time back I [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number Thirty-Eight. Potluck.

March 5, 2008

Aw, heck, y’all I’ve gone silly around here and forgot it was going to be Thursday Thirteen time! So, let me tell you about a few links, and tell you about birthing a blog. Having a ten pound baby without anesthesia was a lot easier! 1) My friends, I told you about the Handmade Afghan [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number Thirty-Seven. My Distractions.

February 27, 2008

“If you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now, quiet, they’re about to announce the lottery numbers! “~Homer Simpson Y’all, I have a “to do list” that is as long as my arm. Actually, I have more than one. I try hard to get things done. I work for [...]

Thursday Thirteen #36 I’m A Bag Lady

February 7, 2008

Do y’all ever get side-tracked when you go on the internet? I sure do. I just wanted to look up “bags” on the internet, and got all carried away (I’ll tell you why I was looking in a minute). It’s a good thing I can never find my purse, or I’d whup out that credit [...]

Thursday Thirteen #35. I Wish I Had Time

January 31, 2008

So many ideas for posts have been rolling around in my head, and I just haven’t had time to get to them. I miss having time. Do y’all ever feel like you are meeting yourself coming and going? How do you make things slow down?? Right now, I should be getting ready to go to [...]

Thursday Thirteen # 34. What Rattles Around in My Head

January 16, 2008

To tell the truth, everything is rattling in my head. The jackhammers have been ripping into my bedroom floor, and I’m reeling from the noise and turmoil. For Thursday Thirteen, I’m just giving you whatever floats to the surface. 1. Earlier this week, I talked about my Scheherazade Complex. It seems I never finish a [...]

Thursday Thirteen #33 I’ve Been Working On A Chain Gang

January 10, 2008

Didja get it, huh? “Chain Gang?” It’s my “hook” to draw you in (I sound like Jay Leno begging for pity laughter). Some of you may be aware that I have been working on a little charity project on my blog. It’s called Share A Square, and it’s about making crocheted granny afghans for 140 [...]

Loose Ends

December 18, 2007

I’m limping along here and can barely sit at the computer. The weekend trip to San Francisco was a blast, and I’ll share more about it later in the week [if I get where I can sit]. It seems that I aggravated the arthritis in my left knee while navigating all those hills! Or, perhaps [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 32. Dear Abby Is Back!

December 12, 2007

Dear Abby, I’ve been promising my readers that I would have a contest on my blog, but I have so little time! I’ve been crocheting for a cause, and having to work, too! On top of that, there are the holidays upon us AND my husband and I are planning a last minute getaway leaving [...]

Because I’m Crazy

December 11, 2007

Someone didn’t get the memo. Or, the “meme-o,” as it were. I prefer not to do “memes.” I talk about me-me-me all the time anyway. But, Crank Mama passed one to me, and she’s a sweetheart, so just for her I’ll crank this one out (I just wanted to use a pun). That doesn’t mean [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 31–Just A Jumble

December 5, 2007

It’s Thursday, and that means THIRTEEN. Thursday Thirteen! This is the day of the week when a group of bloggers post thirteen things about themselves or their interests, and then flit back and forth finding out about each other. I’ve been missing getting to play, because I’ve been all caught up in Share A Square—-and [...]

Thursday Thirteen #30 Thankful

November 22, 2007

Several of you have written to ask if I’m still on the planet. I am. I’ve been a bit under the weather. That two week business trip, Share A Square (see the Share A Square FAQ if you don’t know what that is), and a nasty head cold have knocked me flat on my rear. [...]

Manic Monday. My Mind Is Off Track.

October 7, 2007

Y’all, I would like to think that I’m a smart woman. I am a smart woman in my own way, but my Daddy was right. He said that words go in one ear and out the other for me. My little pea brain only processes the information that I need right now. I have a [...]

Name that Tune Contest Winner!

October 5, 2007

A few days ago, I started a blog contest called Name That Tune. I showed y’all this picture of a mannequin in a local store, and asked you what she was singing. The response has been delightful! I’ve enjoyed learning some new songs and seeing how your twisted little minds work. I appreciate every one [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number 29 Make A Difference

October 3, 2007

I didn’t start out to be a “Charity Blogger,” although my friends Sandee and Jessica The Rock Chick both have dubbed me that. I’m honored that they think so, but I wanted to be sassy and silly and just write about whatever the voices in my head were saying! Then the voices in my head [...]

Name That Tune Contest

September 28, 2007

I told y’all in yesterday’s post that we would have a contest today (aside: go see the video I posted, if you haven’t already). I showed you the prize that you could win, as a teaser. Some of you jumped the gun and tried to name a song associated with the prize! That’s OK, it [...]
