Have you seen that commercial for the cell phone with Meatloaf?
Hubby & I were watching TV the other night when it came on. I turned to him and asked, “When did Meatloaf get old?”
His response: “About the same time we did.”
Ouch.

Before the Wee One, my best friend used to tell me how much being a mom changes you. I only half believed her because I was already a mom. Sort of. That’s not to say step-moms are not moms. They are. It’s just different.
But then I had my own kid and my heart opened even […]

I’m trying to get out of the house every day, or at least every other day. That probably doesn’t sound that hard to most people. But right now I work from home. And with an almost-5-month-old (!) to care for, it’s not easy for me to leave. Not without great effort.
Laugh at me if […]

My son is discovering his hands and it’s a fascinating experience. He gazes at them, turning them around, wiggling his fingers. You can almost see his mind working. “Wow, these are so cool!

Between the new site design, new version of Wordpress, and finally getting my domain name pointing correctly after way too long, I believe that blogging is finally fun for me again. Yippee!
I’m really just a big dork and new toys are always great fun for me. Oh, look! Something shiny!
Yeah, it’s kinda bad. But at […]

I’m about 1/4 of the way into the SEO Bible by Jerri L. Ledford. I’ve been meaning to read up on Search Engine Optimization. While I know some of the basics, there’s a lot I could learn and do better. And I think Ledford’s book will get me there.
She starts out by explaining SEO, what […]

I lived in the Midwest until I was twenty. I have many fond memories of that time. My family, the people, the gorgeous, green landscape. I lived in the Ozark hills (yeah, that makes me a hillbilly). If you’ve never seen it, no description of mine can do it justice. Rolling hills, acres of trees, […]

I just installed the newest version of Wordpress - 2.5. At first, I was a little confused and didn’t know where to find things. But now I’m digging it. It’s a cleaner design and actually easier to use.
I still need to figure out where everything is, but in the long run the simplicity will be […]
