So...someone told me, "you should start a blog." I was honored, but still a bit skeptical. Me? Start a blog...no way! Then a little later, while I'm lying in bed, I'm thinking...Hmmm, start a blog, I can do that! How hard could it POSSIBLY be?? A few days later while I'm still rolling the idea around in my head, I make the mistake of telling Hubby what I was thinking about while we were having breakfast. "YOU??!! What would YOU write about??" he said and of course it hurt my wifely feelings a tad bit , as it should. "What do you mean ME?? Why I can write about LOTS of stuff! "Like what?" he asked. And I sat there, with my head hung down, looking at my coffee. What WOULD I write about?? And I'm thinking...and thinking. Finally I looked at him, while still pondering if I want to DRINK the rest of my morning coffee or see how nice he'd look wearing it and said " I'd just write about stuff... and things, but nothing that would interest YOU I'm sure!" So with the idea that I'd prove Hubby wrong, I head for my computer and Google "free blog sites", ( I got the freebie just starting out ). OHHHH, the choices I was faced with! So many sites to choose from, trying to decide which was the best, which was the coolest and so on. Decisions, Decisions!! After happily choosing TUMBLR, I make myself a name (after going through, what seemed like HOURS with the TUMBLR name~generator, to see if a name is "taken" already) and call it a night. THEN the next morning I wake up, full of piss and vinegar, as my Mammy would say, eager to get this ball rolling and what happens?? I forgot what name and password I used to start the account with...grrrrrr! So much for "how hard could it possibly be?" Anyone that knows me, knows I have absolutely NO patience at all, I didn't want to have to WAIT for the site to send me back the info so, I find ANOTHER blog site and well...here I sit....on my new Weebly blog site. There are a whole SLEW of intimidating-looking buttons and stuff that I'm suppose to use. I figured out the TEXT button of course. But I have no clue what those others are used for and what they do. Title, gallery, slideshow, embed code (I don't EVEN want to know what that one is, sounds way to complicated!)...and map...why would I need a map to blog?! By now, I'm pretty sure it would have been a good idea to watch that "Getting Started" video the site provided after all. I'm thinking this whole blog idea might not be as easy as it seemed! Like I mentioned earlier, no patience at ALL and this is the kind of trouble I get into. I'll see if I can add a few of my pics here, wish me luck!! :) YAYYYY! I did it! I GOT this :)
These are just a few mushrooms pics I took after we got a LOT of heavy rain the other day. I am totally FASCINATED by mushrooms. When I was a little girl, my mom and step~dad would go out "mushroom hunting". I can remember looking at what they brought home and there were SOOOO many different types and all different kinds of textures and to me, they were pretty. That's why I love taking pics... to take something simple, unassuming and and find the beauty in it. Kind of like life itself. It's just taking that little bit of extra TIME to stop and find the beauty that's all around us. It doesn't really take that long at all. I hope you all are enjoying your day and thank you for stopping by! Just MAYBE, if you come back tomorrow, I'll have more of this "blog stuff" figured out :) Be good and be pretty and as always.... ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ God Bless ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ |
