I am Hip

Karma of JewBu Quest has bestowed me with the Rockin' Girl Blogger award. I rock. In other words, I am hip and awesome. ;)



Thank you, Karma. I am honored and humbly accept the award.

There are so many great bloggers out there that deserve this award. (Sorry, guys, it's gender specific.) I can only give out five. (Who makes these rules anyway?) All my readers rock.

I narrowed down the list in no particular order to (and it was not easy, because I would want everyone who doesn't have one to get one):

MrsGrumpy-I Promise Not to Laugh During the Séance

Jillie-NURSERATCHED

Beth-Blind as a Bat

Amalia-Caring for Bear-

Word Imp-Word Imperfect

I LOVE playing Word Imp's "fictionary" game. You get creative and make up a definition as wacky as you want. It's fun and you get to expand your vocabulary. She starts it with a word and gives her own "definition" of it. Then commenters give their definitions. The next day she edits the post to include the real definition. She also narrows it down to the top three and has everyone vote for their favorite definition. I used to play it all the time, but my creative juices get low some days. Other days I just get "busy", but I still LOVE her blog.

Keep on rockin'!! :)

Getting a LIfe

Lately, I have been reading so many blogs and emails. I decided to cut the amount of time I spend reading blogs everyday. I may read a few here and there and then another few the next day. Too much time has been spent keeping up with all the blogs and emails. I am just letting you, my readers know that I am still there, just not as often as before. No insult to anyone. I may post and then sign off or take turns reading blogs on alternate days. This is getting too addictive. I am sure we all feel this from time to time.

I had to add this picture below because I have two monitors next to each other like that. It's so nice to look at two different things at the same time. I still have to click on one to make it active, but it's really nice when I am doing research or looking up something. All I have to do is look back and forth.

The Switch

Today I made the plunge. As I hemmed and hawed, I asked opinions. Everytime I signed in to Blogger, it was staring at me in the face with imaginary neon lights flashing..."Switch to Blogger Beta," like a pesty reminder. The thing that held me back was that there was no going back.

So after much deliberation, I plunged into the Blogger Beta pool-head first. I also changed the template. It’s just more professional-looking. I am going to get used to it. I'll have to tread water for a wee bit to get my feet on the ground. I have my “HTML 4 for Dummies” book to guide me, the Blogger Help, and all of you bloggers and blogettes.

I didn’t want to be impulsive. I had to do some research. I know that, like any change, I will learn. I will learn to navigate “behind the scenes.”

Thanks to those of you who commented. Thank you. Cyber-hugs.
