Been there, done that.<br /><br />Way cool that you were a juggler. I can barely juggle two things. Any more and it's a disaster. <br /><br />I really love the way you came up with the name of the blog. My sister in law, Pooh, started one. She did one post. And it's just sitting there. Once in a while she will make a comment, but....<br /><br />I, too, tried to think of what described me.

Actually a lot of bloggers these days may have a story like this.<br /><br />Alex -- An heart pumping tale like this needs a good cliffhanger!<br /><br />Shannon -- Thank you for letting me know!<br /><br />StMc -- I've never been one to cover up the truth, no matter how ugly it may be. Besides I think I've been keeping some pretty good company. By the way, I revived that dormant thread you started on Amazon and Valerie Henshaw popped in to tell me to tell you hello. Check the link in my post if you don't already have that link. I was looking over those posts again and it's amazing how many deleted entries there were that came from you. Sad. <br />As far as the future, I never know where I'm going until I get there. I may not toss anything out, but I do need to curtain this blogging stuff some.<br /><br />Kittie -- Thank you for your kindness.

I've been thinking about that template change for a few months but it seems like I'm always so busy with the act of blogging that maintenance and change gets neglected. <br />So far I've still been eligible for unemployment benefits that keep me afloat. I write a lot but no money yet--that's why I need to curtail my blogging activity--so I can write to seriously try to make some money from it.
