So I’ve been battling some emotions lately, some stress, and like an idiot, I go and read the newspaper today. Apparently, Atlanta-area lakes have reached critical point and the Army Corps of Engineers is partially to blame; they found a new dinosaur (well, his bones anyway) in Argentina; a street-racing 15-year-old killed somebody in […]

I just performed a security upgrade of WordPress. Please let me know if you run into any problems on the blog.
Thank you.

Especially in this case.
Yes, the blog layout is slightly different. Call it tweaked. Call it improved. Call it whatever you want, but I’m finally calling it finished. At least for the next few days or so … not so sure I like how the date is displayed on this layout.
We’ll see. […]

To celebrate (1) popping my submission cherry (to be crass); and (2) my kids finally going back to school, I’ve updated my website with a whole new look. I’m also trying out a matching layout for the blog. I’ve tested both as extensively as I could in Firefox and IE without going live, […]

I’ve just upgraded my WordPress installation to version 2.2.2. Please let me know if you run into any problems.

I’ve recently updated because of problems with the blog, and this is a test post to find out if the problems persist. Please disregard. Thanks.

Yes, the blog looks funky.
I tried to post, and it wouldn’t let me in. After some brief experimentation, I figured it was a change made in the recent Wordpress upgrade. So I tried to upgrade. I haven’t been fully successful yet.
Please please please excuse the mess while I try to fix […]

I’m feeling ambitious today, so I think I’ll try and cover a couple things.
First, I updated the music in the sidebar player. Only one of the CDs has changed (and I haven’t brought it into the house and ripped it yet, so there’s no clip from that disc), but I went ahead and uploaded […]

FYI, some of the CDs in the truck changed today, so some of the song clips in the sidebar have been updated.

I had lunch with Tess Harrison today. Matter of fact, I posted about part of it on my MySpace blog — something to do with coffee-flavored dessert and orgasms.

My thoughts are a bit disjointed right now, so this post probably will be, too. Consider yourself warned.
I’ve been all over the board today writing-wise. Worked on those edits for BMO. Worked on a website for a friend (yes, that’s writing-related since she’s a fellow author). Worked on a crit. […]

I’m still working hard on retyping (with mild editing as I go along)

One of these weekends, I’ll get to sleep in again. I know I will. I’ll have to, or I’ll go crazy.
Unfortunately, this weekend won’t be that weekend. (Wow. That sounded confusing.)
Tomorrow morning, LittleDude tests for his Tae Kwon Do yellow belt. Yes, there’s excitement in my household. LittleDude’s been […]

For the sleep-deprived, catching up is often easier said than done. Luckily, I think I’m finally up-to-date. On my sleep. At least for today.
MiniMe had a soccer tournament this past weekend. I still don’t quite understand how the first three games of her season could be tournament play, but I suppose […]

This isn’t my post for the day — :twisted: — just an FYI. A warning.
I plan to update to the new WordPress Security Release (Version 2.0.4) later tonight, so the blog will be down a while. My fingers are crossed, though, that for once the update will go smoothly.
I’ll let you know once […]

There was a major drive failure at my webhost this morning. If you’ve tried to reach the site today and got a 404 error. I apologize. Looks like it’s back up, though, although they did the restore as of Friday evening. I’ve reposted Saturday and Sunday’s posts — they appear […]
