Saturday Musings
I've been up since 7:00 AM, my other site is down again, so I'm not in a very good mood this morning. One of the things I love about my Saturdays is being able to write in my weblog and catch up on my reading. This is the second weekend I've been unable to access my page, and when it's down I miss it terribly. Oh well. Hell. It's not like I don't have other things to do. If you could see my house, you'd know what I mean lol.
Playing a little Blogshares this morning. Can't seem to move past #68 in the rankings no matter how hard I try. Scott's creeping up on me, and I'll be damned if I'll let him pass me!
I had other things I wanted to say, but I'm holding back for reasons I won't get into here - and I don't feel any better for having done so. I'll wallow it in for a bit longer - at least until I feel confident enough to confront it.
So...happy Saturday and all that crap. Bleh.

Hideout
I haven't decided yet what to do with this weblog since my other blog is back online. I have another template I'd like to try out here just to see if I can do it. For now, though, I think I'll use this as my little hiding place. It's much more comfortable that that space under my desk.

Blogroll
I'll be adding links today as I have time using blogLinker. Blogrolling is not accepting any new signups just now, and I'm not moving my blogroll until I find out what's happened with my site. I know the blue and orange links aren't very frog-friendly, so I'll try to make some improvements later :)
Nobody asked me but...
This frog walks into a bar...
Bartender says: "What'll ya have?"
Frog says: "I'll have a grasshopper."

Tuesday Musings
May as well start off as usual here...
Although this doesn't quite have the same friendly feeling my other weblog has, I'm glad to have it up and running for now. Hopefully it won't be for long. I've even thought about keeping this even when the other one is available again - maybe use it to blog about Blogshares. I'm sure everyone who reads my regular blog gets tired of hearing about it all the time anyway...
I've tried to add comments via Haloscan, but can't get it to load. I'll have to work on that tomorrow. I did, however, manage to list this blog on Blogshares and included Joe's Shareblogs site. I'm just sorry I haven't been able to keep up with the gift-giving, etc. the last few days. It's troublesome to have to go back and forth to different pages to get the information I need. I'll probably list the players here as well since it makes everything so much easier in the long run. I'm really enjoying the game, and better yet, I'm enjoying the people :)
Changing the subject.....Carrie and Chase returned from their honeymoon Saturday night and came by for a visit on Sunday. It was soooo good to see them - I'd missed them!! They picked up the wedding pictures, too, but I haven't had a chance to look at them yet. I can't wait to see them, and Carrie says they're all very good :)
Dinner's almost done, and I must sign off for the evening. Cable is still off (sigh) and I think Becca has a movie we can watch tonight. That is, if I can excavate it from her bedroom...
Cheers :)
THE OPTIMISTIC FROG
Two frogs fell into a bowl of cream.
It was a deep bowl.
One frog was on optimistic soul,
but the other took the gloomy view,
"We'll drown he cried" without more adieu,
and with a last despairing cry
he flung up his legs and said goodbye.
Quoth the other frog with a merry grin,
"I can't get out, but I won't give in".
"I'll just swim around 'til my strength is spent
then will I die with more content".
So bravely he swam until it did seem,
his struggles began to churn the cream.
On top of the butter he finally stopped,
out of the bowl he gaily hopped.
What of this moral?
'tis easily found
If you can't get out, keep swimming around.
