November: National Blog Posting Month!

I know I said I wouldn't feel like posting for a couple of days because of my sinuses, but I was buzzing around others' blogs and I happened by Zamphir Panflutemaster's blog and saw that she happened upon a strange phenomenon. Turns out November is "National Blog Posting Month", and there's a movement of people who are pledging to post every single day in the month of November. Now, I know that I post most days, but then there are days that I don't, and as I have seen my world of bloggers turn upside down and fade in and out, I know it is hard for some of you... many of the faces I have seen since I have been blogging are taking "sabbaticals" and "hiatuses". It's understandable. This world around us is constantly pounding us down, or wearing us out. I feel like doing it sometimes too.

But I love to write, I love to talk back and forth with my "Blog Friends", and it's great just to write what you want when you want and enjoy for the sake of blogging for fun or relaxation, or whatever your reasons are.

I have learned from personal experience that it's very easy to step on toes, or to have misunderstandings about things and you can lose a blogger as quick as you found one at times... So as with the world, nothing is certain. Blogging is what it is, and that's a little different for everyone indeed.

Soooo, I am joining the ranks of the NaBloPoMo and pledging my 'Post-A-Day' through November... Let's see how I do... It might get boring, it might be maniacal, but ride with me and we can laugh and cry and sigh together. Come on! It'll be fun! Click the big seal to learn all about it!
WWAJD!?!?

very noble intentions, I know I can write a story a day, no sweat in that, but the problem here is that the previous day's post gets pushed down and people who read are always in a hurry, and people don't read daily either!

But a very nice idea really, maybe I'll give it a shot in december, right now busy with nanowrimo! :P

But I tell you i'll be reading you :)
Cheers!

I considered doing this but since I'm taking a whole week off the week of Thanksgiving there is no way I could anyway. I'll just have to read yours instead of posting on mine.

When Potato Salad Goes Bad

Image
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim...

Birthday Blast

Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await...

Thirsty

For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
