Monday Meme: Blogger Spelling Test
Ok…Mom, stop laughing. I really didn’t cheat…but it’s multiple choice and I can identify incorrectly spelled words, I just don’t often spell them correctly myself. LOL Plus over half of it is more about proper word usage than spelling. Take it yourself and see how you do.

Meme Monday: Life in six words or less
My mom tagged me for a Meme, so here it is:
Life in six words or less…
Here’s how this one works:
- Write your own six-word memoir.
- Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
- Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
- Tag five more blogs with links.
- And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play. (This last step is optional.)
So here’s me in less than six words:
Expect the unexpected.

Happy Blog Day!
Happy Blog Day! Today, all around the world Bloggers are posting links to some of the blogs that they have recently discovered. Its a way for non-mainstream blogs to get some traffic, and for blog readers to step outside what they normally read. Learn more at Blog Day’s website.
Why a ‘Blog Day’? Because…
BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.
I know you are dying to visit some blogs…so without wasting anymore time, here they are! I found these recently, and they look to be interesting. I tried to find some diverse stuff, but I am just a geek at heart and tend to gravitate toward geeky sites. I also shied away from blogs that had not updated in the last 2 weeks. Have fun exploring!:
- Tech.Life.Blogged – I found this blog this morning searching for help to set up a portable version of Windows Live Writer…This blogger happened to have great step-by-step instructions. Looks like I have a weekend project hee
- TameBay – Looks to be a good informative eBay blog from the UK. Since I’m just a sometimes eBay seller, I like finding blogs that are written for us. The bigger ‘make money on eBay’ blogs often have more information than I need. This one seems to focus more on general eBay selling news.
- DavidGraham.org – this looks like a neat blog about a techie environmentalist. I like them, they are kinda like me. hehe
- FoxAttacks Blog – I had heard of Fox Attacks, but I didn’t know they had a blog until recently. a great place to counter the spin that Fox churns out.
- Indexed – A great cartoon site. Written on index cards, cartoons are relational graphs, and often poignantly funny. Charted reality. hee
These do not stray too far from my normal reading, but are ones that I’ve found only in the last week or so. They are worth a look. Happy exploring!
If you want to play too, go to BlogDay.org to learn what you need to do.

I did have a hard time crossing out books, because even if I have no interest in it…if it falls in my lap and there’s nothing elese to read, I will read it. Hee
Here’s a few books that I have read recently that I think should have been on this list as well:
The Assault on Reason (Al Gore)
Across the Nightingale Floor (Liam Hearn)
Eragon (Christopher Paolini)
The Golden Compass (Philip Pullman)
His Majesty’s Dragon (Naomi Novik)
Do you have any books you think should have been on the list? Share, please!
I got tagged!
Mom tagged me for a meme, so here it is…
Here’s the scoop: I write 8 random facts/habits about myself, and then tag 8 people. We’ll see if I can come up with 8 friends w/blogs to tag hee
1) I’ve had knee surgery 3 times
2) even though I removed the ring, my naval piercing did not heal over while I was pregnant…2 weeks after my daughter was born, I put a ring in during the day, and took it out later because it was bothering me…THAT NIGHT it healed over and I cannot get anything thru it anymore.
3)The only place in Mexico I really have any interest in going is the Baja…everything else sounds like its been americanized too much
4)Hubby & I got married at John Denver’s ranch in Colorado
5)There are more computers than people in my house (3 people. 5 ‘puters)
6)Since ISPs came into being, I have never paid for my home internet service (I’ve paid for about 4 months of AOL total)
7)I wanted to work with cougars when I grew up (or at least have one as pet hee)
8)I have a closet addiction (well, ya its out now) to Star Trek books…I read them on my palm so people can’t tell what I’m reading lol They are sloppy, short and geeky. hee
Ok there they are! Now for tags…hmmm…let’s see Mika, Kristi, Amy, Paula (Surf Mom)…ummmmmm, shit, seee…I need more friends with blogs rofl…hmmmm, oh ya hubby, BT, Tina, and Janille. I hope some of you will play
