Wahoo.
Fellow blogathoner Sue Poremba blogged the other day about Empty Mailbox Syndrome. I know what she means! My inbox is quiet too - not even so much as a chain email with words of wisdom from Dr. Phil. I checked my ISP and yep, everything is working fine.
At first it seemed strange, maybe even slightly disappointing. But [...]
Thanks to Plaidearthworm for the cliché of the day. In the comments over at Mama Needs A Book Contract, she rewrote the famous cliché “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
Her version?
A tool in the hand is worth two on EBay.
(There’s a joke in there that I’m not even going to make. Whether [...]
Why yes, yes I did.
And since I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong with my Internet connection (is it a router issue? a cable modem issue? the line in from my isp?), I haven’t had a moment to even think about what I’m going to post.
Hmm. Here’s what’s on my mind today. I [...]
I do. I really, really do. (*Sally Field voice* … and while we’re on the subject, have you seen her? It’s enough to make you want to start taking Boniva. Or slathering it on as night cream. Or something.)
Anyway, I do love interviews. I didn’t grow up wishing I could be an interviewer someday, but it’s a [...]
I have to admit something to you, because they say that is the first step. The first step in what? I don’t know. But I’m sure it’s important. So here goes:

Although I know enough about gardening to read the back of a seed packet, I wasn’t entirely sure I had planted the right varieties. Thanks to Amy’s blog, I discovered that most of my choices were good. Yay! (Note: If [...]
Charmian Christie Charmian Christie has a delightful blog about the goings-on in her kitchen – food she’s making, gadgets she’s trying out, and even a dramatic saga about whisky called “As the Barrell Turns.” (How does she get her friends and loved ones to pose for those cute pictures?)
I don’t consider myself much of a [...]
Because of the proliferation of online networking, it seems everyone has a profile bio these days - a 20 to 40-word description that encapsulates who they are and what they do. (Some clever folks have done it well in 6 words.) I know I need one too, but I’ve struggled to concisely describe myself (probably because I’m just too close [...]
There was a comedian on Comedy Central (sorry Bub, I don’t remember your name) who made a joke about the Pearly Gates in Heaven. He said something along the lines of “Am I the only one bothered by the idea that Heaven is a gated community? Yeah, it was a big deal getting these gates [...]
