• @penwriter Thanks for the ref to Blogger, but I’m sold on self-hosted WordPress. I never could get support responses from Blogger. :o( #
• Just had to block my first Twit. Got an ewww msg from him. YUCK. #
• @lalunablanca lol - I know just the "afraid to look down" moment you mean. #
• OMG - dIdn’t read my Bloglines feeds for a few days and returned to 2,117 posts. Super Skimming Powers, ACTIVATE! #
• @Sarcomical I did that too — pounded the hell out of my piano. Lessons for 9 years but can I play now? :o( #
• Logging off for the night. See ya in the morning, Tweets! #
• @jwsandersjr Hey, just saw your nice reply about the tweetups. Thanks! I’ll definitely show up at one. Maybe after soccer season. :o) #
• During sleepless hours this weekend, I figured out a blog posting schedule. Trying to muster up the energy to stick to it. Starting tonight. #
• I’m amazed to find that other blog hosts will charge me one rate for all my blogs + more bandwidth. I currently pay that rate for EACH. Duh. #
• Do any of you use DreamHost, MediaTemple, Blue Host, AN Hosting, or HostICan as your web host? Please direct message me! I’m comparing. :o) #
• @doshdosh Re site design: I don’t know what prior version was like, but this one is clean and straightforward and orderly. It appeals to me. #
• @rachky I like country music, bluegrass, & folk too, plus more mainstream music & indie stuff my 17yo passes on. My tastes are eclectic. :o) #
• @rachky Heh-heh. My husband acts like he’s dying every time I turn a country station on. But he endures it & the kids suffer along. :oP #
• @QueenofSpain re: man on the roof: That sounds like an excellent writing prompt. #
• @DadGoneMad lol — I had the same thought when I was working for a trade magazine and did a "feature story" comparing icemaker capabilities. #
• Awkward: You reply to someone you follow, he/she DMs you, but you can’t DM back because he/she doesn’t follow you. Weird system limitation. #
• @lalunablanca I only used GoToMeeting briefly but liked it better than Macromedia Breeze, which my office uses a lot. Breeze=not intuitive. #
• Bye, tweets. I was able to follow along while doing some light editing, but now have to interview someone. Later! - Carolyn #

• Late night on the computer: I’ve been comparing WordPress blog hosting plans and my head is REELING with options. #
• Worries: elderly mom, droopy elderly dog, depressed teen daughter, attention-starved husband, end of work fiscal year. I’m paralyzed by it. #
• I suppose staying up late and piddling around with the computer isn’t helping any of my worries, though! Going to bed. Nighty-night. #
• *stretching* Whoops, didn’t mean to sleep so late. That’s what comes of staying up late and fretting. How’s your Sunday, Tweets? #
• Well, I *was* hungry. Elderly dog who poops on dining room carpet = most EXCELLENT dieting aid. #

• Depressed daughter is bathing. Moping daughter whose 3rd soccer game was rain cancelled is online. Crazy grandma is smoking. Me? Online too. #
• BRB - heading to kitchen table for cereal and morning coffee. The excitement continues. #
• Back. Turning my attention to selecting a new blog host. Turns out, I’ve been waaaay overpaying. #
• @lisamariemary Only if there’s no roadkill stew, and they can make a proper glass of iced tea. ;o) #
• @bgsand yum, thinking fondly of a greasy jalapeno burger and sonic’s blasts. #
• Is there a name for online-only friends? One blogger calls her readers IIFs - Imaginary Internet Friends. Tweets would be a subset. Ideas? #
• @jchutchins Bacon people? You have my attention! #
• @bgsand OOOOH … unforgiveable for me to forget the onion rings! Enjoy! #
• Gotta run. Youngest is holding a huge bowl of kettle corn and waiting to push the ‘on’ button to watch Shrek 3 with me. Later, Tweets. #
• @bgsand YUM!! #
• Back … technical probs with pay-per-view. :o( #
• @lisamariemary Throw in a "rumpled jeans" dress code and I’m THERE. #
• Okay … folks are talking about housecleaning and making me feel guilty. Guess I’ll get out the 409 myself. Later, Tweets. #

I decided I have too many blog categories and am combining several of them. You probably won’t even notice, unless you’re looking for the Entrecard category. It’s now been folded into “Blogging.” :o)

Carry on!
