I still have this little blog! ::shock!:: I updated some things in the sidebar. If you're looking for me, you'll find me most often on Twitter and the other places listed. Hope to see you in one of those places! :-)

I've been doing the NaBloPoMo thing for three months now (and Blog 365 all last year!). I'm tired. I don't want to post every day now for a while. Some days I just don't feel like I have much of anything to say or even feel like turning on the

Well, it looks like the creator/owner of the Blog 365 Challenge punked out halfway through 2008 and didn't bother to tell us on the official site. I just found out today. And I actually DID post 365 (well, 366 in my case) days of the year! So I guess there won't be any award or prize for having gone the distance.Soooo I just joined NaBloPoMo. I'll get the badge/widget up soon. I just can never

This is what I started working on last night while we watched Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews & Co. reporting on the Indiana and North Carolina primary returns. This is a scarf pattern, called a Garter Ridge Stitch, suggested in the book "Knitting for Dummies"--stupid title, good information. I love this yarn, but I had to try to manipulate the colour in PaintShop Pro to get it to look like it

I haven't been able to post to my main blog, CountryMouse's Refuge, which is at InsaneJournal. This has to do with the move to new servers over the weekend, and some leftover stuff needing to be done.Today: lazy day. Did a little knitting. I worked on my pink scarf that has a cable running down the middle. It's from a pattern in the book "Celebrity Scarves 2: Hollywood Knits for Breast Cancer

(cross-posted from my InsaneJournal, CountryMouse's Refuge)I'm going to be doing a couple or so backdated entries for the 15th this evening [in my InsaneJournal].

I am looking into how to do voice posts. Utterz looks like it might be the answer. I would love to add that to my InsaneJournal (entitled CountryMouse's Refuge, for those of you who are keeping track). But if that's not possible now, I will do it here.The reason I want to do voice posts is that I need that as a backup in order to post everyday for the Blog 365 challenge. We are thinking of moving

I'm there! As far as I can tell, all my old LiveJournal posts (sans comments) have made it over and are archived. I will, within the next week or so, check against my LiveJournal, to see if anything is missing and fix that. :-)Okay, this will sound melodramatic, but it felt like I was running away from an oppressive regime, coming to (the idealized) America. I could see the Statue of Liberty and

(cross-posted from my Blog 365 blog)I have been trying to find out more about what's been going on at LiveJournal this past year. Well, I finally am getting some answers and they're scary. Censorship like crazy.A long-time friend on LiveJournal told me about InsaneJournal, which uses the same Open Source code that LJ uses. I went there and started up an account tonight. I looked at their TOS.

(You Don't Know Jack! reference)My main blog is CountryMouse's LiveJournal [EDIT: Nooooo, I'm on InsaneJournal now! All my LJ archives are there too! See you there, I hope!].

I wish I knew how to make this blog look "cool" with all the things that other women bloggers put on the sidebars of theirs. I just don't understand the code, it totally throws my brain for a loop. That's one of the reasons I have never done much with this blog. I think that this could even be put onto my own site, but I just feel like it's a beast I don't know how to handle. So...I leave it

Heh. Looks like I might be using this little blog off and on after all, because I just joined THIS:So this is one of the places where I might end up posting!

I can't believe I have this many blogs. ::sigh:: I might need this one someday (???), so I guess I'll keep it. But my main ones are on the right sidebar: CountryMouse's Diary (on my site), my LiveJournal [EDIT: now my InsaneJournal, with all LiveJournal archives there too], my Yahoo! 360* blog. I have a couple others, but they are a secret--shhhh! :-PWe are stuck in the hot summertime right now.

Here are three FO's I did in the last few days. I especially like the white hat in the middle--you can vary its look with bows, barrettes, pins, whatever!

Long time, no post. Should I turn this into a knit/crochet blog? Naaah. I like things all melting together, like they are in :cough: Real Life. So you will see things about knitting and crocheting and TV shows I like and places I go and stuff going on in my life all mixed together in both my CountryMouse's Diary and also my LiveJournal [EDIT: now at InsaneJournal, with all old LiveJournal

Not only that, I already have, besides my LiveJournal [EDIT: not anymore: I'm on InsaneJournal now, but all my LiveJournal posts are archived at InsaneJournal also], my old and ongoing CountryMouse's Diary, on my own website.So, I may fill in the Interests thing etc., but I can't see posting in this very often.

Um....I think I fell into this the same way I fell into LiveJournal years ago: someone I know posted something I wanted to reply to, and in order to do that I needed to register and get a blog. So...here I am. Eep?
