I was a white knuckle email-er. Deathly afraid of this unknown cyber space thing.Yup - prior to 1997, I had nothing to do with computers. I was a terrible typist, dyslexic queen of america and had no understanding of the internet. That was all geek stuff. I can thank my ex for introducing me to computers, and the internet and [...]
I am attending my very first Blogging Conference this weekend in Chicago. I am so excited about SOBCon08, I can hardly stand it.Besides being able to meet people that intrigue me, impress me, and tug at my intellect, my heart and my creative spirit.

I didn’t quite have it in me last weekend to put the holiday decor away. A wet basement, from a minor flood this week, had me get it complete and put away yesterday. It feels good. My decor was shifted here in my move and part of my separation. I didn’t touch it last year so this [...]

Last January when sending her rent envelope under her door I decided to put on a few holiday “joy to the world and peace stickers” ( I had just gotten a whole bunch of new stickers 1/2 price). In the spirit of recycling she always puts the envelope back on the [...]
