  • The work

    Why do I feel so guilty? This focus on me. The work to become who I’m meant to be. Peeling back the scabs and reopening the scars What isn’t mine? What is of the stars? Underneath is an unbroken child True love and dreams She was born of the wild But the world told her…

  • Winterizing

    Holiday season is fast approaching, and we’re starting to gear up. First, I changed my blog theme. The old “springy” theme has lasted me almost two years, but I got tired of having to work with the set color scheme when designing headers, so I’ve chosen this neutral option. My current header is basic but…

  • Awkward!

    I’ve never liked being on video much, but I didn’t really think speaking freely about something of interest to me would be so dang hard to do! But this morning on the drive to work, I took my new Flip video camera, set it on the dashboard consule, and proceeded to take a dozen or…

  • So, here’s the deal

    Alrighty, then, Skyler is not quite in bed yet but her daddy is here now so he can work on that project while I work on this one – not that putting her to bed is much work – she’s so sweet when she says “nigh night” from her crib as we close the door…

  • Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy

    Any of my readers who may be on Twitter or Facebook may have noticed me doing a little “blog pimping” as of late. I’ve been trying to increase awareness of my blog’s existence in order to build momentum & traffic for some fun stuff I’ve got coming up. I’m still weary of mentioning too much…

  • Skillz

    I finally sat down and designed a new blog header, all by myself. It’s been so long since I’ve done any graphic design; it did not come easily! I still have such a different vision in my head than what came out, but that’s as far as my sad skills would take me tonight. I…

  • Where do I start?

    Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with all the possible posts I could be making! Again, this would be a fantastic time for someone to hurry up and invent the wireless-automatic-blog-publisher thingy so I could blog hands-free throughout the week, or at least get some posts drafted. First, I haven’t officially posted an announcement for fear…

  • Slacker

    I have so many things to blog about! Pictures and video from the last couple weeks, and lots of stories! But various things have hindered my blogging abilities as of late, two being the biggest issues: 1) I have limited to no Internet connection at home! It seems we might need a new wireless router,…

  • Better Photo Handling on Flickr!

    IMG_0535 Originally uploaded by lorikelley66 I’ve decided to quit using Photobucket to store my photos for the blog. It’s easy and I can easily order prints from there, but Flickr just works better. I can post to my blog directly from Flickr without having to login to both places and copy and paste image links,…
