Changes to My Blog

I asked for feedback on my blog and I got some really good suggestions (both public comments and private emails). John Savo recommended that I change the my comment name from “admin” to my name…done.

I added the “Bald Beauty of the Day” to the bottom of my posts, and I now have Comment Luv (which I love) and a “share” button to each post. So what’s on my list next? I don’t want to make too many changes to the blog, and I have grappled over making changes to the home page, but a suggestion that I got from two individuals got me really thinking.

Since the home page isn’t a “traditional” looking blog site, and I have truncating posts, it was suggested that I should think of going to a more “bloggy” type format. As much as I didn’t really like that idea, it made sense to me. With my homepage set the way it is now, it’s difficult to put things in the side bars without making everything look really crammed and “busy,” and I am looking into affiliate sponsors, which left me wondering where the hell I would put them? SO, in the next few days, there will be minor changes to the look of the home page. Basically it will look like this with the featured picture slide where it usually is. I have gone back and forth in my mind about it, so I guess I will wait to see what you all think about the change too.

OK…

On to other things.

I was surfing through Craigslist again for my daily chuckle and I actually thought this little beauty was just too interesting to pass up without writing about it.

So what is it? Well, for $150.00 you could own this “mid-century” beautiful state of the art all-in-one dazzling efficient stove! I thought this was so cool. You can cook, wash your dishes and refrigerate your left-overs all at the same time! How awesome is that? They say it actually works AND it is a whole hell of a lot cleaner than the house it’s dwelling in right now.

Anyway I thought it was blog worthy. Has anyone else ever seen anything like this? If I had a really small apartment, I would probably be a sucker and purchase it, although I would probably need a hazmat suit, a mask and goggles before entering that rat hole! I’d rescue this fine mid-century modern marvel…how about you?

Bald Beauty of the Day

My Husband Cyber Dissed Me!

I’m flustered! I’m aghast, perturbed and grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Today, my incredibly sexy man calls me to say hi and see how my day is going and as we are talking, he says the funniest thing to me:

“One of my friends on Face Book loves your website.” At first, I thought “wow, how cool is that!” but then I couldn’t stop blinking and my mind went blank. Why, you may ask? Well, in that moment I realized my own husband dissed me on Face Book! I was silent for a second, and then for two, and he asked me what was wrong. I started grinning and said “What do you mean one of your friends on Face Book loves my website? How long have you been on Face Book?” He starts laughing and said that he told me all about how he signed up and found all his friends…UH, OH NO HE DIDN’T! OOOO! I told him that he said no such thing to me! He knows I’m on Face Book, so I asked him why he didn’t add me as a friend? Now he is laughing wildly, and me…I’m still grinning from ear to ear. I wanted to hear his defense.

Why didn’t he add me? So then I asked him this next question…”Did you add your mom to your friends list?” He paused for a moment and said “My mom is on Face Book?”  Oh, his brothers and ALL his friends from high school and college are on his list (even old girlfriends)…but not me or his mother? What’s up with that? Here is a screen shot after I went to Face Book to look him up:

Nervously he is still laughing and confessing that he has no idea how he could have let this slip by. I told him there was only one thing I could do about such a major slip…exact my revenge on him in my blog!

When I couldn’t hold my laugh in any longer, I let out the most sardonic laugh and he knew in that moment that I was actually going to write about this little “incident.” I razzed him for a while about it and he was relieved that I thought the whole thing was hilarious. I wanted him to stew for a bit, thinking that I was really upset about it, but he couldn’t see my face on the other end of the phone line! I couldn’t stop smiling. It was such an innocent mistake (or was it? hmm? LOL), but I wonder how many wives who’s husbands are away for long periods of time would look at it and wonder if he was trying to hook up with an old flame, or find a nice warm body in his area.

I trust him with all that is in me, and one thing that I know about relationships is that it is important for our mates to maintain good solid friendships. He actually has quite the social life out there in Maryland, going to concerts, hanging out with friends at the bar, meeting up with long time friends and I wouldn’t have it any other way. He was feeling guilty last week because I am all alone out here with no support system, friends or family. Then he asked if I had a problem with him going places and doing things with his friends, I said “Oh hell no, are you kidding me? Someone in this family has to go out and have some fun!”

I adore that man! YUM!
