I love my blog!

My blog is too much fun! I love it! I love the nice layout of the pages. I love my little pinkish hedgehog that hops into the air and rolls into a ball. (I tried to add a llama but messed up the code -- I'll try again later.) I love how it takes my insane thoughts and makes them all sleeked up and important-looking. I love forest green. I love my little writing guy icon, though I still have thoughts of replacing him with a praying mantis, just for fun. I love getting all the goofy comments from my husband and posting them so everyone can see what a funny guy he is. I love slapping photos onto my articles. I love blabbing and looking so knowledgeable and smart, and the reader never suspects that I am still suffering, alas, from food poisoning! Did I say I love blabbing? Well I do twice over.

Maybe it's about time I lay down.

Hey Melinda! First, thank you for posting a comment on my blogsite. Second, you are the ONLY person I've ever known to have the same birthday as me. Happy belated! Third, LOVE LOVE your blog. I especially relate to your musings about re-reading your work that "sucks", then you fix it and it still "sucks" and then you eventually create something workable. I go through that every single day...the sucking part, I mean. So, it's nice to know that someone as talented as you goes through the same thing...there's hope for me yet!

Me, talented? I've just been doing this for a while. Time makes up for a lot of faults.

If you have the same birthday I do, then you might understand this: Easter has fallen only ONCE on my birthday. That was in 1972, and I was one year old, too young to appreciate it. But for the next 34 years, Easter has skipped around my birthday. I've found a calendar of Easter dates online that goes up to 2050 and we still don't get Easter! Oh, sure, it falls on the first a couple of times, but that's not good enough! Somebody notify the Pope.

Happy birthday to you, too! On my birthday, I saw Dave Brubeck in concert (he's 85) -- good; I got food poisoning -- bad; my mom forgot to call me and wish me happy birthday -- bad; my little girl made me a cake and drew me a card -- very good. So it sort of balanced out, except for general intestinal heck and angst.

I have heard the Llama song and my daughter likes it. But there's a little llama you can get at bunnyherolabs.com, the same place I got the hedgehog. (We do have one up on Sophie's page at http://melindacordell.com/Sophies%20pets.htm.)

They are so cute! If you want to put it up on Blogger, though, you'll have to whittle down the size of the box, or cube, or whatever a little bit. You might be able to look at the source code and see how I did it because I'm not sure I could tell you what I did to make it work.

Melinda,

Just wanted you to know that I created a Live Journal feed to your blog so that LJers can just add your syndicated feed as a "friend" on their friends list. That might save you the work of maintaining two blogs! People can find the syndicated feed here: http://syndicated.livejournal.com/rosefiend_synd/profile (or search livejournal user rosefiend_synd) Sometimes it takes a day or two for the new syndicated feed to get going.

Thanks Kim! I'll have to check it out. I still haven't figured out how to friend anyone, which makes me mad, I just keep going around in circles instead of getting anything accomplished. Also, having two blogs is (to me) a pain in the patootie. Thanks for your kind help!

When I get a little time this weekend I'll put up a link to your place at this blog.

Melinda.
