Stupid Texter!!

Spell check?? Yea, spell check is not my friend when I’m texting or writing I end out with words I don’t mean to send! NOW I have to READ own emails for extra sentences!!! before I hit send!  UGH!! I am NOT an idiot stupid dingba never mind I am smarter than I sound honest!!!  Case in point….. I exchanged the nicest emails with Ferne over at The Purple Baby Brigade today only to go back and read MY email…… ummmm hummmm okay, so here is what I sent “But the guy in Nigeria is really going to I subscribe via emailme a million dollars right??!?! ; )”   WAIT… WHAT does that SAY!?  WHY.. wait… WHAT?!?!  Ohhhhhhhh Ummmm hummm okay so here is how me no talk right……. try and keep up.

I found this WONDERFUL tool called LifeHacker Texter this is the greatest tool if you like to enter giveaways. (We’ve already established it’s my favorite thing to do!!) Here is how Texter works….. Say for instance the giveaway asks me to add my email to the comment box. I type in the code I ear mark for email and Texter will take care of the rest! Here is my example…..
Extra entry if you follow by Google Friend Connect.  So I have Texter running in the background and I type: gfc and Texter types out: I’m a google friend connect follower

HOW cool is that!!!!!!!!  So if I type “mail” I get: I subscribe via email
Ummmm hummmm now it’s not only STUPID spell check! It’s stupid Texter too!!! You have to be VERY CAREFUL to read your email before you hit send!!
See the look on Eli’s face?? THAT’s the look I’m giving Texter right NOW!!!

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. Readers like faster loading pages. And apparently, ghosts like chaos.

While I’m updating, it’s also a great time to remind you about my monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway, where one lucky winner gets PayPal, Venmo, or a gift card of their choice. You can find all the details right here:

And because Google loves good neighbors, here’s an external resource I actually use when brushing up on SEO basics:

So if you notice posts looking sharper and loading faster, don’t worry. It’s not a haunting.
It’s just me, outsmarting the ghost… one optimized image at a time.
