(lovely art, titled ‘Regret’, found here) and would like to never do again.  I saw this over at Suebob’s blog, and I thought it was genius.  So here goes…a list of things I’ve done, and would like to NEVER do again.  Warning.  This may get gross. Get a bad perm Vomit in the bathroom of a bar Fall down while pushing my car, which was out of gas, and get dragged (drug?) across the street by said car, finally stopping when my car crashed into another car, and looking up and seeing that the car belonged to a guy in my French class.  Thankfully, his car was a beater, and…

Any readers who access my blog via Google Reader have surely noticed an abundance of prescription drug ads in my posts lately.  It appears my blog was hacked.  Joan told me about it over a week ago, and I looked around but the power was out that day and it seemed like a Google issue, so I forgot about it.  Then today, Michelle emailed me about it, and I thought, hmmm, maybe I should look into this some more.  So I searched around about WordPress/Goodle Reader issues, and found a page with some solutions, but they were above my technical ability to execute…so I asked Ted’s friend, Rahul, and he…

Hi All, I don’t use a reader, I’m old school and click the blogs I want to read from my sidebar.  One of my bloggy friends, Joan, told me that my blog is coming up in Google reader with a bunch of pharmaceutical drugs next to it.  Once she clicks the link to my blog, all is well… Has anyone else had this issue?  Any idea of how to fix it?  I’m on WordPress, but hosted on our own domain.  I updated to the newest version, but it made things kinda wonky, so I reverted back to my old version of WordPress. Help?  Anyone? UPDATE: It looks like this is…

C from Random Thoughts and Musings from the Island gave me this cheery little award a few weeks ago, and it’s about time I got around to passing it on.  I’ll admit that I wonder if perhaps it mutated somewhere along the way, because it’s a Kreativ Blogger award, but it doesn’t ask you to choose creative people, or talk about 6 ways you enjoy being creative, or anything like that.  Hmmm.  But it’s a fun award, and the perfect way to start out the weekend, so I’ll bite. The rules are that the recipient is to list six things that make him/her happy before subsequently passing forward the glee…

My blog has been acting weird lately, and we suspect that the template that I’ve been using isn’t completely compatible with the newest version of WordPress.  Every few days, I get completely locked out of my blog.  And then Ted has to go in and fix it, because I haven’t asked him to show me how to do it myself.  I was locked out on Thursday or Friday, and vowed to get to it over the weekend. But I spent my weekend bike shopping, reading, watching BSG, watching the Super Bowl, gathering tax information together, putting together girl scout cookie orders, grocery shopping, reading some more, watching Big Love, and…

(monkeys found here) Yesterday was Blog Comment Day, and the assignment was to leave at least 5 comments throughout your blogging day (I always do anyway), and that two of these comments should be to blogs where you have never commented before.  Rather than doing a random ‘next blog’ type thing, I decided to mine the blogrolls of some bloggy friends.  I popped over to Red Stapler, and picked two blogs from her blogroll with tantalizing names. I visited Godammit, I’m Mad!, and commiserated with her frustration at people feeling pretty high and mighty about buying the Starbucks coffee that donated $.05 to AIDS relief on December first. I also…

(picture found here) Stupid head cold.  Came in and decided to stay a little while.  With it here, I’m having trouble thinking of things to write about.  So too bad for you, this is all you get. I finished another book, but haven’t taken the time to write about it yet.  Maybe next week. I didn’t watch “No Country For Old Men” yesterday, because we couldn’t find it on our OnDemand.  Guess we missed that boat. I’m behind at work, because of being sick, so now I have to get caught up. I only have one book left to read of my 2008 challenges, “The Pillars of the Earth”.  I’ve…

(cute graphic found here) If there’s an award given out to NaBloPoMo participants, I say this year’s should go to Chrissy over at Random Thoughts and Musings from the Island.  Chrissy is was pregnant, and started out the month with the best of intentions, but then was rushed to the hospital with a thinning cervix…she continued to blog every day, telling of her experience, and EVEN TODAY, after giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, born at 28 weeks.  So I’m guessing she’ll be in the hospital for the next few weeks, keeping her new daughter company, and who knows, may miss a day or two of blogging…but if these…
