The Blogosphere is BIG.

By
I followed a fair few blogs back in our WoW days, but recently my feed reader has two, maybe three blogs in it. I just don't have the time, what with with being a mom, student, worker bee and oh hey, who's that man over there? Oh, right, my husband:)


In the last few days, though, I've had time. I went through three years of archives on one of my favorite blogs-Megan@sortacrunchy. Through her blog I discovered several others, including Brandy@marathonmom. And guess what? There's a lot more to blogging then taking a few moments and writing your thoughts down. I knew that, but I didn't quite grasp just how much more. And I'm totally inspired. That will last-maybe-until summer ends. I like blogging, I do. I like having a place to express my thoughts. I'm not sure, though, that now is the right time to try and revamp how I do things. School craziness and all that.

But it's been fun thinking about how I could be a cool blogger mom too. And the other ideas and stories, from OCM (Oil Cleansing Method for those of who, like me, aren't crunchy) to reading about a mother's horrific health scare , have been enlightening.

Now, however, I'm going back to scouring archives.

I've only been blogging since last summer. But I'm finding out how much fun it is. The majority of my posts are book reviews as I get them for free from publishers to review. But I've learned writing tips and things from the blogs that I follow. There's one blog in particular that has lots of writers that share stories and support for the unpublished.

I still have a long way to go, but mainly with technical stuff like how to change the appearance of my blog (yeah, don't know how) :)

I know how to change the appearance. But I had to read the blogger help forum to figure it out. LOL.

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
