Thanks for stopping by! The Social Network is one of the few movies I rented recently. I don't see near as many as I used to.

I've been blogging for a while. Nothing of major interest, but I put what I'm working on and such, and in hopes of gathering legions of followers...or maybe a few..er, a couple..one would work. But, yes, I have to agree, it was a way for me to just stretch out and write, and it was scary thinking people would read it. But, it has brought me way out of my comfort zone, and into a world were I'm hoping people will actually pay to read what I wrote, and I no longer have to chain them to the chair and put a screen in front of them for me to get a hit. Keep on blogging, and we'll keep reading. And, if your curious, I found your site on 'myguestblog.com.

I enjoy your writing, Patti. You do have a gift. I've often thought about blogging, but, like you said, it's really putting yourself out there. It is scary! And I think, why would anyone want to read about what I think? Maybe I should just take the leap... It's a leap every writer must make. It's not just about having the talent, it's having the talent AND the balls to actually put it out there! But you are right...we all have something to say. Something worthwhile.

I'm so glad about that! I should have learned patience with Lost. I'm just glad I can watch S2 now on my laptop.

Hey Patti! Thanks for stopping by! Looking forward to connecting with you throughout the year with A Year of Mindfulness: 52 Weeks of Focus! Thanks so much!

No, that's not too much to ask. I found that when I ask for something, especially from people who are "in the boat" with me, someone is always there to help. I'll stop by and share some encouragement when I can. Thanks for stopping by too!

It's hilarious, but I didn't make it. I'll post a link to the creator & some of his or her other work when I find it. I need to leave a comment to tell them it's awesome! Cute kids get me every time anyway.

Good luck right back! I promised myself I wouldn't put up something sub-par just to be posting something every day too. That's going to be the real struggle for me - keeping the quality of my writing up. I look forward to reading yours.

Hey there Patti!

Been meaning to get over here and comment every since you visited my blog. I, too, am taking the post every day challenge. Maybe I am crazy!!! so much that i had planned for myself. But I really want to commit to sharing my life, my thoughts and establish a blogging community. I need the people to lift me up when it gets hard. Maybe that's too much to expect from the online world. I don't know.

Anyway ... just wanted to say thanks for stopping by and for commenting. going to go explore your site a bit more.

Grace and Peace!

That's even funnier than the original. Good job.

Yes, with oysters it's a texture thing. I just want to put that behind me. If I try them and really don't like them, I won't bother withthem again.

With submitting my writing, I may submit a short story of mine to one or more magazines that publish them, or enter a contest or two. Who knows what might happen?

I scribbled my response elsewhere, but I quite enjoyed your post and your rationale.

I like your list, and I share a lot of the same things I want to "try." Oysters is not one of them, lol. I do however join you in the desire to overcome my fear of rejection and submit some of my writing to magazines. I have a list of publishers, too, mama. You're not alone.

Best of luck!

I'd rather be the bus driver for a rock band! I think it'd be more fun. There would be more people to talk to anyway.

Re: Welcome!

Patti B. — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:24:16 -0000

That's great! Although I have to say, in my experience, it's a pretty sucky birth date to have. I was always getting "combo" gifts, and I rarely had a birthday party around my actual birthday because everyone was either going to holiday events or out of town because their schools were on break. I often considered having an "unofficial" birthday party at some other time of the year, but I never did.

Another tough one! I think I'd rather opt for the 10 large rats who scramble out then disappear behind stuff. For one thing, they'd be easier to catch or kill than 100 spiders, and they'd be less lethal if they bit me. Of course, if either one of these happened to me at work, I'd probably leave and never come back.
