A New Love???

Even though I have just begun my whole "blogging adventure" I must say "I LOVE IT."

I have been reading tons of blogs and just get so caught up in everybody's lives.

Is this normal?

I read these blogs and feel like I could just call folks up on the "teli" (Cason's word he used for-ev-er when he talked about nonother than the telephone) and chat with them.

Over the next few weeks, I hope to take my blog in kind of a different direction. I want to learn as much as possible (i.e. how to use Mr. Linky, how to market to blog to get more readers {or does that just happen?}, followers). I don't want to be known as a "bloghopper" (sounds like a word we southerners like to use for a girl that has several boyfriends at the same time) but I love reading about other peoples lives, ideas and families.

The more I tell you there wierder I seem, RIGHT?

I am going to fill my brain with an endless supply of blogging knowledge...Ok I am sort of a nerd... Really try and not be, but always have kinda been. Just tired of living in denial..:-)

I'll try it out and if doesn't work, we'll go down another path.

Now on to "THE BLOGGING"... Andy and I will be volunteering at St. Ann Catholic School this weekend at thier Annual Seafood Festival/Community Yard Sale. I would put my friend, BamaGirlinAZ in blue letters about now, but I haven't figured that one out yet!

I don't normally HIT yardsales on a weekly basis, but reading her blog and made me want to go out and find treasures for under $10.

The St. Ann Yard Sale is HUGE... There should be 15-20 families participating and the neat thing is ALL the money is going to the school. The whole community gets involved so there should be lots of good stuff.

After the St. Ann YardSale/Seafood Festival it's off to Point Mallard for picnicing, waterslides and my favorite, the balloon glow...

Should be loads of fun for the whole family.

  1. I had no idea about the yard sale. I will try to come before the wedding! It's perfectly normal to read up on everybody's life. I do it all the time. I spend hours (more now since I'm done with school) reading everybody's life. If I actually had something interesting to say, I would update my blog more often hehe!

  2. I started blogging in January and I enjoy it so much, too. Love to see what other people are doing with the graphics and have met some really nice people. It took me several months of writing to "find my voice."

  3. Ok! I will give you your fist` bloggy tip: to put a hyperlink (blue letters) in for someone - as you are typing your post type what you want to be the link, then highlight it then click on that green earth-looking think with the clip on it and paste the link there (you'll either need to type it in or have it open in another window and copy and paste it in - the web address). See that is all there is to it! DOn't worry, took me months to figure it out!!

    I tagged you on my blog today!
