I LOVE Movable Type, but am having a heckuva time with comments: spam about hydrocodone and Vi@gr@ cheep get through the comment filtering immediately and are automatically posted on my blog. And then comments from real people are often junked. I just tried to leave a comment ON MY OWN BLOG and MT junked it. [...]
My head is buzz buzz buzzing with all sorts of ideas. Things have been quiet here on the blog, but my head is a busy place! I’ve had some great conversations over the last 2 weeks (4 significant conversations in 2 weeks – mom-brain overload!) that have me thinking and drafting and writing. Most of [...]
Whew! It’s been a crazy couple days here on the back end of my pink toes! Tech-savvy husband upgraded my harddrive from a measly 20G to a robust 80G (an $80 solution, instead of the $2500 new-laptop-solution). Since he’s a software developer, I am very lucky to have him doing all my IT. At the [...]
Do you know me IRL (y’know, In Real Life?, or as we used to say in elementary school: “for reals”?). If so, um – Hi! You may be thinking “Hey, why don’t I know about this blog”? (Well, you DO know about it now ha ha but I guess that’s beside the point). Perhaps you’re [...]

Eventually I’ll add this photo to the recipe posting, but for now, here it is. I am experimenting with Flickr, and with the taking , editing, and posting of photos. (Thanks to Jen for [...]
For a while, I checked all the time to see if new comments arrived. Kind of like waiting for the phone to ring in high school. And, as then, there was no news. Then a friend told me that she tried to leave a comment and it didn’t work. My tech-savvy husband and I realized [...]
I love a good cocktail. Especially if it’s pink, of course! I love to serve cocktails for my friends – especially my bible study ladies. We have downed many a lovely libation. I have found I really enjoy finding great combinations – learning what makes the different layers of flavor in any particular drink. This [...]
Just because. Add to my blog
People used to say I was the happiest person they knew (some, amazingly, still do). I find that so interesting. I am a very optimistic, glass-half-full-make-the-best-of-it person, but I had a tough emotional climate in my home and was unclear about a lot. Yet, I seemed to have a sense of purpose and joy. I [...]
Well, I officially participated in NaBloPoMo. I think I only created 2 or 3 posts of substance, but participating did for me what I hoped it would – it helped me over my reluctance and got me focused again on my writing. I have paid more attention again to my inner life and how important [...]
