Catching Up

November 19, 2008

Once I realized I wasn't going to hit my goal of posting every day this month I kind of drifted off on to other things, but that doesn't mean I'm still not here. I've got a bunch of things in the fire so I thought I'd just do a brain dump of everything here [...]

Maybe All I Need is Makeup?

August 24, 2008

As I am sure any of my readers who are blog owners can understand, I get a lot of spam. I have various methods to minimize it, but some still gets in. Sometimes I keep the comment but remove the link, but usually if it didn't get caught before I saw it, it [...]
