With zillions of blogs on the world wide web, I thought it might be fun to look at new blogs just to see what people are doing. For some reason, the blogs that popped up when I ticked on the "Next Blog" button were all very religious in nature, one after another. It's not that I have anything against religious themed blogs, but I worry about lightening strikes. I drink wine, I might curse when the Lakers are playing and the refs make lousy calls, and I go to Weight Watchers on Sunday mornings, yelling out, "OK, we're heading to church now!" in case a neighbor is out as I get in the car with my coffee. I think a few are suspicious.
Anway, I wondered what steers the path of the "Next Blog" button, and Googled for an answer.
What I found was appalling. Someone had a blog post about this issue. There is a place where blog surfers can fill in the blank, "I hate the Next Blog button because...." and some savage actually wrote "It only gives me "crafts" blogs by American housewives (I hate crafts blogs)." Ack! Is my blog a craft blog? I'm an American housewife. I'm feeling thicker skin, though, because I got a good chuckle.
The clouds are rolling in. I'm waiting for the lightening. ;-)
I am an Air Force brat, a self-taught artist, and a part-time mom these days. I work out my artistic demons by making stuff and trying to find the humor when things go wrong. I have a spouse, two grown kids and cats that barf and bring horrible things into the house, so things do go wrong. My youngest is in college and only home during breaks, so I'm almost an empty nester, alone more than not and trying to figure out this new stage of life. Time to make a mess.

Garbage Day Sunsets
The pattern took a while to notice. Garbage day always brings the prettiest sunsets. Looking through my file of sunset photos, there are the ever-present trash cans at the curb. Lovely. Perhaps I should spend a little more time familiarizing myself with the clone tool in Photoshop and reading the articles on how to remove unwanted images from a photo, but my eyes cross when the language turns technical! In the meantime, I can still appreciate the view and just had to share.
