• Giveaway Question

    Does anyone have a good system for keeping track of giveaways you’ve entered? Scrolling through the entries because my memory sucks takes forever!! I love Rafflecopter because it shows if you have entered… of course unless you use another computer (like when you are visiting Grandbabies in Michigan!)There has to be an easier way!!!  What methods do you use? If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.”Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos. I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate. Blog posts wake up looking underdressed, like they forgot their pants. Cue dramatic music. After the fifth “Where did that image go?” moment, I decided to stop fighting the paranormal and use it as an opportunity. If the ghost insists on rearranging my content, then I’m going to roll up my sleeves and improve my SEO score while I’m at it. Because if I’m re-uploading images anyway, they might as well have proper file names, alt text, and sizes that don’t make Google sigh heavily.…

  • What’s for dinner??

    This is an article written by Robert Krulwich: (I just want to add OH HELL NO!! NO NO NO NO!!! NOT even if you are buying!) There should be a law that says food on a plate shouldn’t move. Especially when you’re about to eat it. But this food in the video below? It moves. Oh boy, does it move. And thereby hangs a tale. (And before you watch, a warning: the squid you’re about to see is dead. Completely, totally dead, like a steak…and yet…) If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.”Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos. I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate.

  • Up all night

    Selena? Dan?? Why did no one mention to me you were doing a reality tv tapping at your house?! WHY!? If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.”Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos. I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate. Blog posts wake up looking underdressed, like they forgot their pants. Cue dramatic music. After the fifth “Where did that image go?” moment, I decided to stop fighting the paranormal and use it as an opportunity. If the ghost insists on rearranging my content, then I’m going to roll up my sleeves and improve my SEO score while I’m at it. Because if I’m re-uploading images anyway, they might as well have proper file names, alt text, and sizes that don’t make Google sigh heavily. Videos? Optimized. Old posts? Updated. Keywords? Polished like they’re heading to prom. SEO updates aren’t glamorous. No one brings a casserole when you rename image files from IMG_8472.jpg to ghost-proof-blog-photo.jpg. But they matter. Search engines like clarity.…

  • I did IT!!

    I made it to 7pm! I was unplugged all day! DH did the front yard, I cleaned up magazines and picked up the house. THAT was HARD!!  Is anyone else this addicted to being online?BTW… didn’t actually TALK to DH… but I think he left me an email.
