My cousin-in-law-in-law has started a blog about what inspires her, everything from design to her son and gluten-free cookie recipes. The cookies are very inspiring and I think that's why I'm featuring the blog.
FRESH beckett. Read and enjoy.

Speaking of Tags....

Yes, it took a while. You're welcome.

I Love The Smell Of Marker In The Morning
I got tagged today. No, really, I was walking down the street and a guy came up to me with a Sharpie, and wrote something on my head. When I tried to protest that he was invading my personal space, he wrote something else. I Love The Smell Of Marker In The Morning
When I stopped off for coffee, I saw the markings of my ink-happy assailant on the barista and several of the patrons.
GRUMPY was scrawled on the boy who handed me a cup of latte. PIMPLES was also written across his cheek. I thought it best not to ask him to read my tags in case he wanted me to reciprocate.
I couldn't find anyone with less insulting tags, so I looked in the side mirror of a car that had ROAD-HOGGING DEATH MACHINE spray-painted on it and saw what the psycho thought of me.
It read ETTENURB in block letters. Not even a note of my new blonde highlights! Dismayed, I saw I'd been given a mustache of ink, which appeared to spell out YSOIN.
Ysoin? I'll give him Ysoin!

Thank you, President Obama, for encouraging everyone to get a mop, and for not quitting once you saw the mess you were handed.

Back That Thing Up
Did you know Blogger blogs can now be exported?
Say...for backup purposes?
Yes.
http://draft.blogger.com/ is some sort of alternate-reality Blogger dashboard where you can click on Settings, then right there at the top of the screen on the basic tab are options to import, export or (*gasp*) delete your blog.
You get an xml file, with everything--comments, layout, EVERYTHING (she says in her best Gary Oldman). The file can even be imported into other blogs, which is the kind of spiffiness I would have liked eight years ago. In my day, you had to save these things POST BY POST.
I backed up this blog, and it was easy. This entire blog comes in under 5MB. Wow. Such a drop in the digital bucket.

Ask Me Anything!
Yes, that's right, I'm tired of all the thankless thinking and writing, I want to hear from you!
It's a new year, and I have only two posts scheduled. So ask away! I'll put the questions and answers in a post as they come in and I answer them. The really good questions may get posts with long answers all to themselves!
It can be about anything, hence the word anything in the subject line.
