5 Thoughts for the Day

First, I was in the Dollar Tree yesterday, and I was walking down the cleaning isle. As I passed by an elderly couple, the man says "This one should work". The wife replies, "yeah, it'll work - if I work". :) I thought it was just the cutest thing ever.

Second, I found a great new picture to put on my blog profile, but can't figure out how to get it to work. It says enter URL address, and it's on my C drive. A little help from a willing computer geek would be much appreciated. :)

Third, I was shopping yesterday with Natalie, and I'm gonna post this 'cuz I don't think she will. The kids were playing with 2 plastic cups, and pretending to pick strawberries and fill their cups up. Then Mel sounds like she needs a little help with the situation. "He has all the strawberries and he won't give me any." And Robbie just grins a little. It was just too adorable. Then Natalie explained that you can't run out of pretend strawberries, unless you pretend them away. Isn't it funny how someone can be so persuasive and believable? I wonder if I ever think my cup is empty, when really it's overflowing - maybe I just needed to look at it from another angle.

Fourth, I'm going to set up another blog about my medical condition. I searched for achalasia, and came up with a couple new sites - got me thinking - maybe I could be of help to someone else looking for support or answers. I'll work on that next week.

Fifth, goodbye. I have an overload of housework that went from a quiet whisper in my brain to a piercing shrill.

You have to upload your pic to a photo hosting site, like photobucket or flickr or something. I'm so bad at explaining these things.

Good idea on the second blog. Go for it.

oooh - maybe i can help with the picture thingie...this was from a fellow blogger and she helped me get my image up with these instructions:

For the picture of your profile, go to the dashboard of your blog and choose edit profile. You will then be able to post a url for a photo of your choice. If you don't have a photo on the web to link to, then upload a picture into a new blog post, and then choose the Edit HTML tab and you should see a url. You can then save as a draft if you choose or delete it. Copy that html code into the Photograph url section of your Profile settings.

good luck!
