I’m no dummy. (shut up.)

The kids are back in school, hubby is back at work, and I’m where I always was. The temp will climb to the mid-fifties today, so my guess is that most of the ice/snow will be melted by this evening. The rest will melt tomorrow when it gets in the mid-sixties.
Good thing we took advantage [...]

Hitting the reset button…continued

A few months ago I cleared my Google Reader of all blogs. All of them, even blogs of friends. I was going underground for a while to recharge, and while I knew there was a risk of the collapse of the Internet in my absence, I also knew that if I had that constant connection [...]

A short reflective post

Talked with a high school friend last night for the first time in years. It got me to thinking, as such conversations might, about all the things I’d planned to do, how much I’ve changed and how very, very similar I still am to that young woman. All these years I’ve been doing a self-therapy, [...]

My Wordle

I did one of these a while back, but forgot to post it. So since Darcknyt did one over on his blog I thought I’d post one, too. See anything interesting? Aw, me neither.

I’ve been nominated for an Okie Blogger Award!

Not for this blog, but for Poison Scents. Read about it here.
If you would like to know more about the award, go here. If you’re an Okie blogger, you can go to that link to vote, as well. I’ll keep you posted.
Woo!

A doctor who listens: priceless

Despite a relatively quiet Internet on my end, the blog traffic doubled for some reason. Does WordPress count the spam comments? Because at 30 per day, that would explain it, disappointing though it would be. I used to be able to sift through them all before they were deleted, but now the volume is too [...]

Random bullets

I am SO not into cohesion or editing today, so let’s just do a bullet list of the things I’m thinking about at the moment, shall we?

The inauguration. Even if you voted for the other team, it’s hard not to get swept up in the history of this moment. Go-0-0-0-bama!
My appointment with the doctor. I [...]

I’m creative. Er-make that kreativ

Isn’t that a beautiful, kreativ* logo? So my old friend DarcKnyt (old in Internet years) has passed this award on to me, and I must say I am honored. It always surprises me when someone likes this place. The question that came with this was hard to answer, since I’ve only recently started feeling creative [...]

*Insert catchy title here*

My youngest daughter turned five yesterday. Gone are the days when I slave to clean house and decorate the perfect cake with frosting made from scratch and fret that my child isn’t getting a blow-out bash like it seems every other child in her class gets every single year. Nope, I don’t do that stuff [...]

Gay dogs and Sean Astin

Shaking my head at the spam I get. What’s the deal with the new trend with the same spam comment on the same post 20 times? And how come I sometimes get obvious spam with no links whatsoever? How does that generate revenue? And are people really enticed into clicking the fake link labeled “gay [...]
