Great New Toys and Theories

Ok so this software is the shit. I am able to post to my book review sites with no problems as well as being able to multi post from one nifty little software. I highly recommend Zoundry Raven for anyone who is actively blogging ;)


100_7473.JPGAnd Just for Fun This is a picture of my Boxer LeiLani and my Desert Lynx Flip.. One Brave Kitty to sleep so close to a boxer butt ;)


Ok So its 6 am. i am wide awake - up since midnight. I am gonna go get some more work done then curl up and take a nap. I really am starting to turn into a vampire lOL ;)


Huggles


Falla

New Toys and Fresh Perspectives

So I think I have found the solution to my posting needs. This software Zoundry Raven is great. I can do all I need to do for the YGR site and can still play and post on my own blogs. and I can post to multiple blogs at the same time..


If this works as well as I think it does I am going to be set.


Totally Awesome ;)

Testing

Time marches on. Thought I still ache every day for him and miss him every moment I breathe, it is getting to the point where i am getting back to living again. I am working - freelance writing with my dear Carmen. I am spending time with good friends who have helped me more than i could ever thank them for. Roger is moved in and we actually make a really good team. I am glad to have him here ow that Cheyenne is attending school out at Missouri School for the Deaf. I would probably go nuts if I didnt have someone here in the house with me. Well I guess since this thing is working I need to start posting more. Of course I also need to get back into writing for fun too. I think tomorrow is going to be a day for fiction writing and cleaning up the corner of the livingroom. Yea that sounds like a plan.


Love you all and I promise there will be more posts in the future. :-)
