Bumping Around

October 8, 2010

Lately my internet reading has reminded me of the bumper cars at the local carnival. I bump over to one blog and on to the next until my head is reeling. I thought I’d share a few links to just a fraction of the gems I often visit. It seemed appropriate for a Friday, which [...]

Ready For Another Round Of Link Love?

March 22, 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a little “link love” on my blog. The main reason is because when I look back on older posts with links I discover that many of the links are broken. I’m having to just remove the posts from my archives. What’s the deal here? People change their blog [...]

I Love Fairweather

October 12, 2009

No, that wasn’t a typo. I like good weather, sure. But, I love Fairweather Lewis! She’s a blogger that my friend Jamie (another blogger I love) told me about. All month long, in honor of Halloween, Fairweather Lewis has been featuring ghost stories! Don’t you like ghost stories? Fairweather is a master storyteller, and she [...]

Proximidade Blogging Award

August 9, 2009

Don’t y’all just hate it when your body won’t cooperate? If you haven’t had that experience, you haven’t gotten as old as I am … yet. It’ll happen, if you are lucky. I despise getting old, until I consider the alternative. My back went all wonky on me last week. I’m pretty sure that my [...]

Some Thank You’s And An Invitation

October 30, 2008

Isn’t it a huge relief to get home from a trip? I just got home from a pretty grueling road trip to Houston. Mind you, I’m not complaining, because it meant work and a paycheck (Hallelujah!). However that trip has left me with a “full plate” of things to do today, and I’m going to [...]

Link Love Again

October 9, 2008

When I first began this blog, I often sent you to view posts by some of my favorite bloggers. Lately, I’ve been remiss. For my 49th Thursday Thirteen, I decided to tell you about some posts I’ve seen that I liked AND about some happenings around my place. I know you are busy trying to [...]

But, You Can’t Spell “Mediocre” Without “Me!”

August 17, 2008

When I was in high school (which was too many years ago to count), there were basically four different “crowds” to which a kid could belong. You had your “Popular, Cool Kids,” the “Hippie Freaks,” the “Geeks,” and the “Band Qu**rs” (that’s what we called them in the days before “political correctness,” “The Band Qu**rs,” [...]

Is She Really Bleeding Espresso?

August 11, 2008

I have a delightful friend that I want you to meet. I think you’d really like her. When I first started reading Bleeding Espresso, Michelle Fabio called herself “Sognatrice.” She has since decided to ‘fess up and tell folks her real name (you really can’t hide on the WWW, can you?). Michelle is an ex-patriated [...]

Thursday Thirteen #45. My New “Baby!”

July 10, 2008

It’s Thursday Thirteen time, and I want y’all to be the first to know: I HAVE A NEW BABY! Well, not really a baby. In fact, it’s only a camera. A Canon Rebel XLI. I had to have it finally. And, I have the same problem with it that I have with new babies: I’m [...]

Blogging Award Time

July 7, 2008

I’m headed out to deliver those afghans to Camp Sanguinity today. I thought I’d give you something to do while I’m gone. I’m passing along a blogging award, and I’ll tell you about it (but bragging about me is a yawn). Let me first show you the folks upon whom I bestow the “Arte y [...]

Tag, YOU Are “It.” Let’s Blog For Peace.

May 22, 2008

Friends, I rarely post viral memes anymore, but sometimes one just seems so right. This is one. I tag you and anyone else you know to join the Blog Blast For Peace. Now, my friend Sandee, at Comedy Plus, reminded me that it’s almost here, and I thank her for that. You see, the annual [...]

I Think You are Going To Like Alltop.com

April 3, 2008

Do y’all ever go searching for new blogs to read, and flit from blog to blog. Sometimes, you follow commentors. Other times you look at blogrolls. All that work in the quest for something new. You don’t have to do that searching anymore. Have y’all visited Alltop yet? Their motto is “We’ve got all the [...]

Hodge Podge Again

March 14, 2008

This is another one of those posts that I do where anything that pops into my head goes through my fingers to the post. My mind is unable to focus very well right now, because so much is happening in my mundane little world. Life is just steamrolling right over me these days. I’ve been [...]

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 [...]

Scheherazade Complex

January 14, 2008

Some of you may be familiar with The Tales of The Arabian Nights and the storyteller, Scheherezade. If not, let me give you the Reader’s Digest Condensed version of who she was. You see, there was a Sultan who didn’t like women much, because his first wife had done him wrong and had ” R-U-N-N-O-F-T” [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Curses!

August 21, 2007

I have a confessions to make. I’m cursed, and bad luck follows me like the papparazi follows Paris Hilton. I know that I’m cursed, because this fortune teller told so, and I believe everything I hear. You don’t think it’s true? People who hire me to come to their town to tell stories know that [...]

My good blogging buddy Jenny McB at J’s Thoughts and Musings surprised me with an award yesterday. Thank you, Jen for passing that to me. I needed that to pick up my spirits. It was a long day! Jen was one of the first bloggers who ever commented on my blog, and we have commiserated [...]
