Is anyone out there?

Ok, I know I am new at this and don't have a lot to say yet, but is anyone out there? I would like to think that someone is reading this, but I'm not getting much feedback. Tell me you love it, tell me you hate it. I don't care, just keep it clean.
Later.

New Template

Well, I decided to change the look of my blog. It looked a little dark before. Since my writing can sometimes be a bit dark on it's own, I thought I should lighten it up a bit. I have become fascinated by the HTML that sets the template up. How can I change this? Personalize it a bit. I don't know, so I will buy a book about it. Any good reason to buy a book, right? Maybe that's just me.

Charmed

Since we moved three weeks ago I have been only marginally successful at unpacking. Tonight I am simply charmed.
Not only did I make excellent progress in one room, I also found at least half a dozen things I needed. I even managed to make an organized to-do list of a few improvements that need to be made over the next year.
So, for at least one night, it is I who walk in pixie dust!

Once upon a time...

Well, this will have to be a good post because everyone knows all good stories start with once upon a time. Except one I read recently. It was very short. This is a lot of pressure to be under. Ok, here goes...

Once upon a time a housewife was bored.
So she started a blog.
Then she kissed her boring husband,
Who turned into a frog.

So where is my happy ending?
The wife began to cry.
And that is when her husband,
Ate a big fly.

Ok, so maybe it isn't the greatest story ever told, but it is a bit funny.

This is the coolest quiz ever! It got my age just right!

Check it out!
Blogthings - You Are 27 Years Old

Sun Bathing

Today I wasted forty whole minutes laying out in the sun. Now this is something I haven't done in several years. The "experts" are always warning us about too much sun exposure being bad for you blah, blah, blah. I guess they know what they are talking about, but I am tired of looking as if I have joined the ranks of the undead. So, I figured I would use moderation and just get a little color. It has already perked me up considerably. You just can't feel bad after catchin' a few rays.
Soak up the sun everyone!

Darkness

Surrounded in darkness,
The color of raven wings.
Alone and tired,
A place where no one sings.

Where am I?
I feel like such a mess.
It is familiar here,
A place called loneliness.

Piggy Doodle

I found this site through another blog. You draw a pig, then see what it says about you. My poor pig didn't even have a tail!
Have fun!

On Being Blonde

This morning when I checked my email I was faced with yet another dumb blonde joke. Why are there so many dumb blonde jokes anyway? Why not dumb brunettes? I have known smart blondes, and more than a few dumb brunettes, so why pick on blondes? Because we have more fun? If you think about it, most blondes are brunettes with bleached hair anyway. Being a natural dark blonde (I refuse to use the term dishwater blonde), I feel the dumb blonde jokes are unfair. To make it worse, most dumb blonde jokes are aimed at women. There are blonde men out there too, I have seen them. So why is the dumb blonde in the joke always about a woman? Well, there it is, my complaint about the unfairness shown to blondes. Later.

Chat Rooms

One lonely night, not too long ago, I decided to try a chat room in search of intelligent conversation. I chose one from my age group in the peers category. Once there, I was totally confused (even more than usual). Apparently chatters have their own little shorthand and lingo. Being a chat room virgin, I was lost. Even the user names were odd mixtures of characters and letters. So much for for interesting conversation on the internet. Being fair, I only tried a handful of chat rooms before giving up. I suppose if I looked long enough I would have found one for me.
My endless searching of the internet is what brought me to blogger. Here is a place I can express my Thoughts and Reflections into the void of the internet. No worries whether anyone reads them. I have expressed, and that is the main goal. That's all for now.
Later Void.

My First Post

This is my first post to my first blog. I ask only for patience while I get started and figure out what I am doing. I intend to post something everyday. My biggest obstacle will be coming up with something interesting to say everyday. Today for instance, the most interesting thing I have done is pack boxes. We are moving in the near future. So my introductory paragraph will be short and sweet.
