Thoughts on Blog
Now that I have been posting for a whole 24 hours, I have complied a list of thoughts on the whole blogging process. First off, it is quite fun to write on my blog. I have to admit that when Julie told me about it several months ago I was interested but didn't really jump at the idea. My loss for those months I suppose. However, I do have some complaints to expound about the set up and use of a blog.
A) How on earth do you spell check on this thing? Some of us happen to type so fast that we can't be bothered by things like spelling a word correctly.
B) What is with the time zone problem? I figured out how to switch it this morning so it put me on Michigan time rather than Arizona time. That drove me bonkers for 24 hours.
Come to think of it, maybe those are just the big two for now. I know, I am pathetic, but I like my spell check, what can I say. It's the only way I survived high school and college English. Some of us were not created with the ability to spell well and in my case, God left that ability out entirely. :)
Life in Michigan today is hot, but not as hot as Arizona. Possibly more humid than Arizona which is interesting. My life today consists of curtain shoppping and cleaning hardwood floors. I know, it sounds terribly exciting doesn't it. Oh, thought of a third thing for my list.
C) How do you end a blog without sounding stupid? This is the same problem I had in school, I could never conclude my papers. I can't go back and write a conclusiong 2 days later when I think of one like I used to? So what do you say? Do you just babble on and on and on and on until the reader gets so bored that they just stop reading or do you just stop writing leaving the reader to conclude on their own?

Your blog must be appropriately titled. :-) What a babbler!
Spellcheck comes up automatically when I create a new blog - it's a little abc with a checkmark.
Enjoy curtain shopping, take pictures for me.
Oh, and read my email to Mom to hear about my bingo experience last night. Insane!

PS. You can also save a draft and come back to it at a last time.
:-)
That should give you enough "think-time."

Whenever I don't know how to end something I end it with "......"
Ex: So, that's how it was.......
See how effective that is? ;)
PS you spell-check with the little "ABC" Checkmark at the top of the post like by the bold, italics, etc.
