Musings of a former hula hoop champion

Excuse me while I’m having technical difficulties.
I’m having a huge problem now, and I don’t know how to solve it. Awhile ago, whenever I tried to open an email notification of a person’s latest post on a blog that I follow or notification of someone who liked my post or whose comment had to be moderated, all I got was a blank […]
An Award is Better Than A Punch in the Nose
September 24, 2011
Nancy of notquiteold has nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. So I have to write seven things about me and then nominate 15 other bloggers. Here are 7 tasty tidbits about me: 1. I’m an only child. 2. I don’t ride a bicycle. 3. My food choices are on par with a five year […]
A Life in Posts
August 24, 2011
My first blog post. Tori, Tori, Tori. She’s one hell of a wordsmith, all right. Like Rapunzel’s hair, Tori’s words spill effortlessly out, seemingly without end. And they don’t even get split ends. So when Tori designated me as the “hilarious Renee Fisher” and gave me the 7 Posts Award: Share Your Best Posts With […]
Fat-Cat
August 22, 2011
(gratuitous use of a popular photo) I don’t think this is a post, at least not in the usual sense. It’s more like a question: Why are so many people on WordPress searching “fat-cat?” I wrote a post awhile ago called “Fat Pets and Fatter Wallets,” one of my numerous clever, enlightening, and ultimately […]
An Award, An Acknowledgement, and a Pope for Dinner
May 31, 2011
Territerri of www.intomystic.wordpress.com just gave me the Versatile Bloggers Award. Territeri is special for a couple reasons, the least of which is that she has a repeating name (think John John Kennedy). TT writes about her life in a way that makes me want to grab my coffee cup, pull up a chair, and join in. […]
Not the Oscars, But Sort of Better
May 25, 2011
This morning, after waking up, looking in the mirror and seeing two completely different people represented on my head, I began to muse on the medicinal uses of Spanx. It was then that my intellectual reverie was interrupted by being alerted that I had received a “Versatile Blogger Award” from Coming East. As the recipient, I must tell you […]
Young American Wisdom
May 7, 2011
Lucky me. The author of a new blog, www.youngamericanwisdom.com, commented on my post and so I checked her out. She quotes her kids, then riffs about the quote. This is a brilliant idea for a blog, and she does it so well. Check her out. (Note: I have received no compensation for this endorsement. Damn. )
Blogging. Clogging. Whatever.
April 5, 2011
I think I Googled “clogging” instead of “blogging” It’s been a great week in Blogopolis: I get a lot of positive comments from people in other countries that WordPress labels Spam. Some of them submit their comments in languages I don’t speak. Others submit in languages that no one on the planet speaks. And sometimes, […]
The Good, the Bad, and the Inexplicable
February 18, 2011
Whatta week in Blog World. First, THE GOOD: I found out that I was awarded the Style Blogger Award from Barb at http://www.cafetodaymyblog.wordpress.com. This sent me into a tailspin because 1. I don’t win things. 2. Even when I do win things, I’m not aware of it. Wendy at www.writerwoman61.wordpress.com told me she had given […]
My “2010 Year in Blogging”
January 5, 2011
I created my blog in April 2010 and wrote my first post in May. For awhile, I didn’t get much of a response, and when I did, I usually didn’t comment (I think I thought writers shouldn’t fraternize with readers.). In June, I started to get a couple comments. I responded. Walker (delicacies.wordpress.com) and […]
