In case you gotta pee…

When you visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so
you smile politely and take your place. Once it’s your turn, you
check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied. Finally, a door
opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.

You get in only to find the door won’t latch. It doesn’t matter.The dispenser for the modern “seat covers” (invented by someone’s
Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door
hook, if there were one, but there isn’t - so you carefully but
quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you
put it on the FLOOR!), yank down your pants, and assume “The Stance.”
In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake.

A reason to toast!

One of my most wonderful, talented friends has just sold her first book, affectionately called McWife. Stop by Anna’s Blog and congratulate her.  This is one of those sales that made me shout, smile, dance and cry. Anna’s one heck of a wonderful person, a kick-butt writer and sensational friend. (okay, I’m a little excited!)

 

Here I am again…

September 25th, 2006

Just bouncing back in to make sure I haven’t crashed anything. I’ve been toying with a “home” page, but need to work on that a little more.

I’ve done zero writing this weekend. Shame on me. I’m gonna give myself a couple more days to get this straightened out and then I’m gonna find a story to write.

*reminds me… I need to find smileys… SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Um…. am I here?

People who sorta know me call me determined. People who REALLY know me call me stubborn and bullheaded.

I’m beginning to agree with the latter. I’m a challenge whore, I’ll admit it, and when faced with the concept of saving a few bucks and doing something myself. (I will say I had the knowledge several of my friends did it, so I figured it was this side of impossible AND I had somewhere to turn and beg, plead, bribe for help…)

So here I am. The templates not permanent by all means (don’t get lost in the endless sky, Montana this is not…) but it’s cool enough for now. Eventually I’ll get book pages and a cool home page and stuff, but right now, I’m gonna figure out this wordpress bloggy stuff and relish the fact it’s even ONLINE. *eyeroll–’tis wasn’t easy, mate!*

So… I’m posting just to make the blog look less like a template and more like something I have a hand in… Someone wanna post a comment so I can see how this works? lol.

 Edited to add: just switched templates and added a pic in lieu of the graphic. Whatcha think? I’m still working on it, but I like how it’s going!
