I’m ready to write on this blog again. I realized this morning that I didn’t think I had anything to say really. But as it turns out, I have plenty to write about. I keep struggling with this.

Well, I tried to log in this morning because I actually had something to write about–or at least thought of something. Then I couldn’t log in. I forgot my password, and I have spent the last couple of hours unsuccessfully logging in. So I decided perhaps I should upgrade Wordpress. I’m not sure that I like the new look, but the upgrade went without a hitch…other than not being able to log in. The upgrade didn’t fix the issue. So now that things are working again, expect me back.

It’s the day of the to-do list. I have created quite a list. More will be added as the day goes on. I finally got the first draft of my novel printed off so I can do some editing on paper and others can read it. I can’t believe that I’ve had requests to read it. It’s quite rough, but that doesn’t stop anyone. That would have been one of my to-dos today, but I took care of it yesterday.

Oh, I just noticed that I have reached 502 posts now. Wow!

I know. Lots of quizzes. I can’t possibly have an interesting enough life to post every day. At least I don’t think so.

Guys Think You’re Easy to Be With… But Not Easy

You’re definitely a flirt - and a good one. But you also know that you shouldn’t make a move on any cute guy who passes by. You save your seductive moves for someone who already knows the real you. That way, your sex appeal is just part of the whole package.

It’s a good thing I don’t actually make resolutions…

Your New Year’s Resolutions

1) Get a pet rooster 2) Eat more gummy bears 3) Travel to Switzerland 4) Study Latin 5) Get in shape with midget tossing

What Should Your New Year’s Resolution Be?

I signed up for Blog 365. I must have been insane when I did that. Now how am I going to fill 365 days of posts? I haven’t been very good at posting every day for the last six months. I’ll have to see how it goes after celebrating New Year’s.

I needed a quiz to tell me this?

You Are a Life Blogger!

Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary.If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.

What Kind of Blogger Are You?

I thought this would be cuter. I am a life blogger, as if you can’t tell by reading. Although I haven’t written much about my life lately. The new year is coming–sooner than even I can get a handle on. More flogging  blogging to come. I promise to make it more entertaining than I have. It may be time to put that morass in my head on the blog. It worked for the novel. It certainly kept me entertained.

I added an iTunes widget to my sidebar. You have to scroll down…way down. It’s even interesting for me to see. It scrolls artists that I listen to and own. Even I can’t believe all the different names and different music.

You will have to let me know if it says anything about me.

Wow! A whole year of blogging. Not quite daily though. I restarted my blog a year ago today. I have a total of 390 posts. Then I was using Blogger with my own domain. I have been on Wordpress for more than 6 months now. I hardly remember when I changed over. What a pain! What a relief!

While reading blogs this morning, I came across this story by Kristin on her life in France. (If you like interesting stories or France, I highly recommend this site.) Her story about the roofing guy who did his work in a Speedo made me wish that there were more characters in my neighborhood to right about. It has been extremely quiet this summer. Not even teenagers walking down the middle of the street or doing the things they normally do when school is in session.

My neighbors were making quite a bit of noise this weekend next to our fence. It was making the dog crazy for about 20 minutes each morning. For some reason they are digging up the rocks and plants next to the fence. Perhaps they are going to put concrete next to the fence–extend their sidewalk that is already there. I didn’t get a chance to ask.

Is it possible to create characters in a neighborhood? In spite of the heat here, the contractors don’t work in Speedos. In fact, hardly anyone wears them in public (the traditional bikini) except Europeans. Speedo makes large swim shorts for men as well. I’m also reminded of porn stars, but I don’t know where that association with Speedos comes from.

I’m off to the hair salon today. It’s a Monday, so it won’t be busy. There could be a few characters there though.
