redesign my blog

Redesigning my blog 4 years ago

Of course it’s a hassle, you know. Absolutely so. But in the end, after I’d changed templates, colors, widened margins, moved this and that around, I had more space to say what I wanted to say, and I was generally happy with the format. I’d only recommend such a task for serious bloggers, though. No sense in going through all that trouble if you’re not going to use your blog very much.

get up the first time my alarm clock goes off

Getting Up 4 years ago

I’m not a ‘snoozer’ and it pays off. Besides, once you get up and at ‘em, you’re less sleepy and you can move forward with you day. Why prolong the inevitable? Besides, in the grand scheme of things, what difference is 7 extra minutes of sleep going to make anyway??

Write & Receive really juicy love letters

Juicy Love Letters 4 years ago

All I can say is, there’s nothing like it. They are completely memorable, and absolutely wonderful to read after 15 or 20 years. Do it. Don’t wait.
