girl-crushing on

Ree of Confessions of a Pioneer Woman and to a lesser extent her husband Marlboro Man. I have my own cowboy husband but I do totally enjoy the way she is OVERWHELMINGLY in love with her man. I started looking at my man and my family through the PW lens. And guess […]

feeling a little freshmanish

Remember how there were those couple of girls that you thought were just oh soo incredibly cool and you would do just about anything to be friends with them?
Ok, I really only felt that way my freshman year of high school with a couple of senior girls. Other than that, I’ve been pretty good […]

enabling spam prevention

I feel like I’ve been initiated. I had been receiving some annoying but not too bad spam. No prob. A quick delete and all’s good.
But lately I’ve been getting gobs of disgusting spam. Blech.
So I trudged into the underbelly of my blog to fiddle with the workings. (which by […]

a smilie fool

I smilies. I can’t help it. They are so darn cute.
I find myself depending on them to express myself online. They have been sorely lacking from this little piece of blog heaven.
I get when I can’t find the right smilie to express what I want to say.
I […]

up in the middle of the night and finding cottage inspiration

You know, I often wondered about those blogsisters who say they are up at like 3 am working on some project. I mean, really? Is it all just a ploy to make the rest of feel like slugs for slumbering away in our cozy beds?
I can’t answer for the rest of them (but […]

I wasn’t really paying attention, but now all my bookmarks are gone! All my RSS feeds too!
I feel lost. And a little surprised at how upset it made me. It feels like I just lost the addresses of friends old and […]

..thankful for her webhost

You may have noticed the missing images. If not, my blog is usually MUCH prettier.
Anyway, I know just enough to get me in trouble. I contacted my webhost and they are looking into it for me. I am impressed. My previous host would have just told me to contact Wordpress support. […]

..joining works for me wednesday…

Shannon at Rocks in my dryer, came up with a great idea.  Everyone shares their best tips on Wednesdays.  So today, I’m playing along.
My tip is for reading all the great tips if you have dial up.
I use Firefox, but I guess it will work with IE too.  Just substitute “window” for “tab”
1 - open […]

..confused but happy

I’m not sure what I did.  I think I just changed the way my permalinks are handled by checking a different box.  Anyway the comments are working!  Talk to me!  I am feeling lonely!

..frustrated by the comments

Again with the comments.  Why do they hate me so?  Is it because they know I get incredibly insecure when no one comments on my blog?  Are they just mischievious (which I’m sure I didn’t spell right)
Perhaps I am giving too much credit to the comments?  Maybe they are just as sad that they aren’t […]
