Pondering Moving House, & A Favorite Thing!

Current Mood:



Alright, this gal has been pondering leaving Blogger and after what just happened.... my mind was made up for me. Last night, without warning, my blogs were all blocked to me. The only reason I'm able to post now is that I caved in and did Google's Voice Mail verification.

I know this isn't a popular blog - which I prefer, as I like having a smaller circle of blogging pals and I'm weird like that - but if for no reason at all you see my blogs as having been removed...... it wasn't me that removed it.

I'm just glad that I copy/pasted the posts from some of my other blogs the other day. (This one I haven't saved at all). I had a hunch the other day, and thank goodness for that! That's all I saved though - the posts on just a few of my other blogs - as the next time everything goes haywire I'm certainly not creating a new Blogger/Google account. I think I'll give Word Press a go next. I'll have to read up on it.

In the meantime, I might post here sporadically. (If they'll allow it). I'm all for protecting my account from spam and hackers with no life, but I am not a fan of having to use my telephone number to verify who I am. I'm not liking that invasion of privacy at all.

And what's up with my Follower's lists? Why is it showing me following myself? I didn't do that. Why the heck would I? Color me confused.

Since it started doing that, I realized that the photo which shows up on the feed are my Current Mood Avatars which appear all blurry and larger than they really are. I find that annoying and just plain u-g-l-y to look at. I guess I'll stop adding those little avatars, but that feels so strange to me; like walking out the front door without any shoes on.

And FYI -
If I don't return any comments, it's only because I'm being careful. I was returning comments when my blogs disappeared last night. I'm not being a blog snob or ignoring you, I promise. I just feel like I need to be very cautious for the time being.

Replying here on my own blog seems to be working fine, so I think I'll be doing that for a while. I want to reply to everyone, but I'm limiting myself to replying to only 3 or 4 at a time. Just please understand that I DO appreciate the time each and everyone of you take to leave a comment.









One of my favorite things has got to be this sweet little bell with the Yorkie pup. I found it at the antique mall for only $1. I fell instantly in love with it because it reminded me of our little Yorkie that we used to have. Her name was Tinkerbell, and there her likeness was on a little bell.

I thought that a fun little coincidence.

And years before, my mother bought a painting because it reminded us of Tink. Hmm, I'm sensing that even in the afterlife our little pup is still a diva demanding attention.

1. You don't have to be the owner of such a boring blog. Your old blog wasn't like this.

2. But it's the muse's fault that I'm so uninspired. If she weren't so busy on the piazza sipping cappuccino's and flirting with hot Italian men that love their Mama's, I might be doing something constructive like writing a best seller.

3. Basically I'm really stuck lately, not knowing what to do next that will make me happy.

4. How I interpret a good day is as follows: I didn't run into any walls or stub my toe... had a good hair day... didn't wake up cursing the alarm... got to cuddle with the furkids.

5. In this way, I'm pretty easy to please and lack imagination and a sense of adventure.

6. I believe it when my results to the Meyer's Brigg's test keeps saying I'm an INFJ. That's 1% of the world's population. I always knew I was different. A 'square peg' person in a 'round hole' planet.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting my time on the exercise bike over with, tomorrow my plans include forcing myself to be creative by making another necklace and Sunday, I want to wake up realizing I'm a Texas lottery winner!
