A Meme about Blogging...
|
|
|
Sunday Stealing: The Pretentious Blogging Meme
(yeah, it's only saturday, but I wanted to get a head start)
1. How long have you been blogging? I started blogging in 1999 - I was 19.
2. What made you start? I used to keep a written journal, but felt that it wasn't all that safe -- what if someone found it... (that happened a lomg time ago and it wasn't such a good thing) ... still I thought the risk was worth it b/c I liked looking back on what happened in my life and what I was feeling at the time. It was nice to see myself changing over the years. Anyway, at the time, I had lived with my then boyfriend. I used to get bored watching him play Madden football on whatever game system we had at the time and hogging up the tv, so I resorted to entertain myself with the computer. I started at LiveJournal.com -- soon after starting my blog, I met some nice people within the LJ community. We used to meetup every night for webchat and became pretty close friends that way. It was like I discovered a whole other life out there. I was interested in reading about other people's lives and they were actually interested in mine.
3. Who inspired you? No one really, unless my boring ex-boyfriend counts... :-Þ
4. About how many hours a week would you estimate you spend on your blog? I'd say about 3 hours total. Quick blog entries here and there. And then there are times when I do a redesign (I have to start saving screenshots)... when I spend a LOT more time.
5. What kind of experience or background do you have with writing? Only my own personal experience. Nothing professional, can't you tell??
6. Talk about how you come up with blog topics. Where do you get your ideas? I usually blog about things going on in my life. If I have a thought I want to write about, I do it here sometimes. Photos are fun to write about -- Memes are good too :)
7. What or who inspires you and your blog? Me and my life!
8. Where and/or how do your brainstorming for your blog? I do all my brainstorming while I'm writing my post. I don't usually have anything set before I start writing. It's kind of just a really long rambling session.
9. Do you have any blogging rules or guidelines you follow? I try to make up rules for myself sometimes, usually as an incentive to blog more often. It doesn't seem to work though. Most things I try to do (like 100 or so words per post for 10 posts. HA!!!) never last. I am trying to use more photos in my posts... b/c I enjoy reading posts with photos, so I figure other ppl who stop by would enjoy those too.
10. Is there anything you will not blog about? I try not to blog about my political views. I don't think I ever really have.
11. Do you have any sort of a publishing schedule in terms of day of week or topic? Nope...it's pretty random.Labels: Memes |

Progress...

Let me start by saying that I SWEAR I am working on my desk -- cleaning it, organizing it, etc...
Right now, I sit at my desk ... it's pretty cleaned off. On the floor around me, are piles... piles of stuff that does not belong on my desk or in it... no clue where to put it right now, and I'm tempted to shove it all into a bag that I will forget about for awhile... Ahhh!!!
So, this has been an all day task for me -- b/c I've been watching tv shows and prettying myself up...
See??
Loooove this color, don't know why I've never worn it before!
Ok, photo of my actual desk to come soon, I rather take an after -- rather than an -in progress- photo... b/c I'm not proud as of yet. Soon enough!
Above is a photo of the piles that were on my desk, now on my floor.
Including the dog... see??
Going to take some more photos of random things to post, b/c photo posts are always fun :)Labels: beauty, house work, photos |

It's that time again!! Spring cleaning!!!
I know it's not spring yet, but with the high temps (40's), it sure is feeling like it.
Really, I just needed some justification to help me reason with why I want to clean. I NEVER want to clean. EVER. I am one lazy ass chick. No lies, no exaggerating. My hubby is very patient with me and my ... messes.
My desk, is destroyed. There is literally NO room on it to do anything. I hate it, it drives me nuts everytime I sit down at it. I feel like I get sooo overwhelmed and instead of cleaning, I just ignore it!
Here is the before -- and soon, there will be an after... If I don't post an after pic by the end of this weekend, then send help -- b/c this desk is NEVER going to get clean then.
2 - Crackers and some Pepsi Throwback - ate dinner up here tonight.
3 - A stuffed dinosaur that Dibs (#6) was mauling. You can see the stuffing coming out of it's head...Poor dino.
4 - My garbage can full of tissues. Gross, I know, but it IS a garbage can, and I had a horrible sickness that lasted about 10 days...This is about 1 days worth of snot-rags. Mmmm. It's done with now, so time to black bag 'em.
5 - A towel... b/c in the morning, after I shower, I come up to my desk to check my email with my hair up. And apparently, I leave my desk with my hair down.
6 - The Dib-ster and her favorite slipper. If you see pics of my house with random socks/slippers laying around, it's her fault. She likes the smell of my feet.
7 - A bag and a wire. I have random bags and wires laying everywhere. Usually I stuff crap into bags and then never get around to going through them. I need to change that. Do I smell a resolution???
8 - Paper towels and some Woolite Oxy Deep Power Shot -- what we use to clean up Dibsy's little accidents. The most recent one was by the desk. Ahh... puppyhood.
9 - Another small desk -- one I was planning on setting up as an arts and crafts table for my niece when she comes over... but it became a catch-all. There's a lot we can do with that little nook -- hmmm.. I'll decorate AFTER I clean .

I'm a busy little bee... blogging it - for the record -.
Sundays - Chamber Orchestra Rehearsals - afternoon
Mondays - Pottery (Handbuilding) - evening
Tuesdays - Wind Ensemble Rehearsals - evening
Wednesdays - Viola Lessons (3hrs) - evening
Thursdays - Symphony Orchestra Rehearsal - evening
Fridays - Free!
Saturdays - Free!
Throw into the mix a full time 8-5pm job Mon thru Friday. Practicing (on my own) the viola and alto sax and spending some good quality time with my husband and furbabies. Oh and maybe a few minutes here and there for social networking ...
To be this busy, I am grateful ... albeit extremely tired. |

Mobile blogging

Dear Android,
I <3 U. Thanks for being there when I really needed you. Like when I'm waiting in line at the grocery store and need a game to play ... like bejeweled. I am addicted to you...i'm an android market shop-a-holic. And you are so affordable...almost every app is free and the ones i have to pay for, are few and far between. For you, though, i dont mind shelling out a few bucks. If it makes our life easier and better together, then im all for it.
And now..a decent blogging app... oooooh how i needed this. You've inspired me to take a more active approach to that part of my life. Social networking is always only an arms reach away from me, everywhere i go....
I <3 U
I also love how i can tether my cell phone to my laptop for internet access on the go and FOR FREEEEE! And... a BIG AND... i can talk on my phone while my laptop is connected ... for that, i thank my network - T-Mobile. Ive been a loyal customer for almost 8 years.
Here ends my letter to you... **kisses**

Obsessions
|
|
January 18, 2010

I thought I'd give this little dozer a try to get back into 'it'.
Instructions: Answer the Current Obession category and then explain WHY you chose that response. Easy enough?
Book: Travels in Alaska - by John Muir. After a recent trip to California and Muir Woods I have become obsessed with this man.
Snack: Golden Graham cereal - dry. Never eaten this cereal before ... my first box, and I'm obsessed. It's amazing with milk, and a simple satisfying snack without.
Restaurant: Right now it's the Montville Diner, b/c they have the best Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad (minus the Caesar dressing) with Balsamic Vinaigrette and the best buttery croutons ever.
Beverage: Pepsi Throwback, they really need to keep this shiznit ON the shelves. Not just for a 'limited time'. I mean, it contains REAL SUGAR!!!
Decor: Japanese stuff. Don't have a lot of it yet, but slowly accumulating.
Actress: Sandra Bullock has been redeeming herself lately in movies such as The Blind Side and All About Steve...but I'm not yet obsessed. I do enjoy movies with Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Katharine Heigl, Kate Hudson & Scarlett Johansson. However...my fav is Nicole Kidman, for years now.
Movie: The Hangover! Ah! A movie that IS NOT a book made into a movie... but if this was ever a Movie made into a Book that would make for a very interesting read
TV show: Glee is AWESOME and so is Cougar Town. My FAV is MadMen!!!
Hobby: Playing music, again. Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursdays I don't make it home until around 10pm b/c of rehearsals...(hence the lack of blogging) I love it though.
Band:
Song: Flightless Bird by Iron & Wine -- Been obsessed with this song for MONTHS!
Meme: Eh -- don't have one.
Blog: Kevin&Amanda!! Amanda is soooo creative. I look forward to her new posts everyday, and if she doesn't have one, I'm bummed out. so, yeah, I'm OBSESSED.
Lover: It would be totally wrong if I didn't say 'My Husband'.
Friend: Not obsessed with this friend, but it is the friendship that obsesses me, in a way that I'm in awe of it still, to this day. Though it's been more than 5 years in the making and having met once during that period and still we keep on goin. I'd count her as one of my very best-friends in life....Check out her blog, and make a friend!
Quote: "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." - John Muir (of course)
Peeve: Ignorant People!!! I was at the airport a few weeks ago and my husband told me something that really just PEEVED me. He told me that there were these 2 guys that had just gotten off a plane and were walking by laughing and pointing... they were pointing at a man who was on the floor on his knees, praying. What is wrong with people?!
Sport: I enjoy watching Italian Soccer!! But I'm not obsessed, since I rarely ever catch a glimpse when I'm out and don't know what channel it's on at home... LOL
So, I'm on a kick, and going to visit blogs again, and from those blogs I will visit the links on their sites and hop around the bloggernet to find new blogs to follow. I purged my bloglines account of all the blogs that either haven't posted in like 6 months or, that I really just don't care to follow anymore. Time to add some new ones!!!
Peace out, cub scouts!
