Well, it looks like the ol’ fever monster has finally released it’s hold on me. I’m still feeling a little weird and I’d like to rip my throat out to kill the soreness, but, hey, as long as that fever is gone, along with the chills that accompany it, I’m a pretty happy camper.
I’ve been a not-so-happy-camper here on the couch for the past couple days, though. My poor living room is beginning to show signs of being turned into a temporary hospital ward in which the patient is both her own nurse and a baby’s nursing mother. BUT, during my coherent moments, I was, in fact, able to do some things I’d been meaning to get done here on the bloggity. That’s a fun thing.
You’ll see (if you scroll down–next time I’m sick I’m setting up a third column. I think it’s becoming needed) that I added the Feedblitz “Subscribe by Email” option for those of you who have asked for it. This way, if you don’t use a feed reader, you can have new posts sent directly to your inbox.
I also embedded my Twitter updates. So, now you can have even more useless information about yours truly! EXCITING, I know!
Now I want to find out the same random info about what YOU are doing when you aren’t blogging, so go sign up. It’s fun. Lots of fun.
And, you know, it’s becoming the blogger’s version of the 1997 Tamagotchi Pet trend, which, of COURSE, means that if you don’t have one, you are certainly not going be, gasp!, with it. Nothing like following the crowd.
That is a joke, peeps. Really. You are cool and nifty and all that whether or not you use Twitter. I promise. Like, totally.
I crack myself up.
I actually set up an account several weeks ago, but never got around to really using it. The great and wonderful thing is that I was able to sync my Twitter account with my Facebook status, thus killing two birds with one stone… and also thus fooling my Facebook-y friends into thinking I actually sign in over there more often than once a week every other week.
Am I the only person left on the face of the planet who isn’t a pro at writing on Walls and leaving comments on pictures and adding applications and fielding five zillion requests for five million different things? Seriously now, I know I’m young and all, but I just can’t keep up. (Although Facebook isn’t just for the teens and college-age ones anymore!) I mean, give me some CSS or HTML and I’ll take care of that right quick, but set me loose on Facebook and I’m utterly overwhelmed.
Sorry, folks, but it’s all I can do to keep up with THIS internetty spot.
I think I’m part of a dying breed. “The Last of the Facebook Illiterate.” I can see it now…

Hey Ash,
Grins and giggles :D ;)
I have a question for you. How do you do that link thing with out copying in the whole https ? I looked it up on the dash board Q and A. It said to copy the whole thing. Yours looks so much better with just a couple words in a different color.

Ashleigh, hope you’re feeling better sweetheart. I’m assuming your mother is there by now, taking care of her little girl and her little girl’s little boys. After all, that’s what we mamas are good at, right?
I have a facebook too and am in the same boat with you. Overwhelmed and glad to keep up with my blogspot. LOL

*Giggle!* I thought I was too young to be part of a dying breed. Hmm … maybe not! I mean, I DO Facebook, but I don’t love it. It’s been a blessing in the past, but it’s way too big and overwhelming … the applications, especially … argh!! :-D
