My Happy Place

I've decided that I really like decorating & changing my blog, but I hate to write stuff. I've mentioned before that my life is so boring that there is absolutely nothing to blog about. And when I do write, I agonize and stew over every word and punctuation.

However, my blog is my "Happy Place." My little piece of the World Wide Web that I am in charge of. I have little clicky things that take me to places I enjoy daily. I can even tell which blogs have recently been updated.

It is so fun to learn new tricks to change the look of my blog. I usually see something I like on another site, then figure out how to add it to my site. Sometimes I amaze myself at the things I am able to figure out. It is fascinating to me that a I can take a picture as simple as this,

add its "secret code" in my HTML script, and it turns into my background.

I have figured out how to add widgets and gadgets and blinkees. I have even designed my own headers. With cool sites like this. . .

. . .and a that free Paint program on practically every computer,


I've been able to create semi-acceptable stuff. Imagine what I could do if I had a fancy graphics program and a some real knowledge.

So I will continue to decorate my Happy Place and maybe, just maybe, I will even write a post.

I've Decided. . .

. . .That I really don't like to write on my blog. I have nothing to write about. My life is boring. I go to work, I come home from work, I do the laundry on Saturday, I've given up on trying to keep my house clean. I'm pathetic.

"Enough" Already

I have decided that I would rather play with and change my blog design rather than "blog."

So with that said, I will try to leave "well enough" alone (meaning my blog design--but tell me what you think--Do you like it?), and I will attempt to actually post some of the ideas and thoughts which have been wandering in and out of my brain for the past few weeks.

Another "Time Waster?"

So I have decided that this blogging business is just another "activity" to cause me to waste more time. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy wasting time. I am the Queen of wasting time. I have been having lots of fun changing backgrounds and colors and adding widgets and searching for fun stuff to make my "Blog" cute.

The problem is . . . I could spend mass quantities of time making cuteness, but I really don't have anything to actually "write" about. Another problem is . . . I am NOT a Writer. I hate to write. I would rather balance my checkbook than write.

So why did I start this blog? Good question. Maybe, subconsciously, I want to become a better writer. I have enjoyed "blurking" other blogs for the past year and find myself saying, "I could do that."

This little blog will be my attempt to record the things that happen in my life--when I'm not busy wasting my time.
