All quiet on the birthday girl's front (not back?)

I know, I know… I haven’t been around. But I’ve got good reasons!

I got hired almost 2 weeks ago (pretty much when I last posted here) to work with a brand new health website. I’ll be moderating forums, blogging, and compiling newsletters, as well as other duties. The site is getting ready for its launch, so I’ll let you know when it’s live and ready for the deluge! I’ve been working a bit behind the scenes with the other staff members, and since it’s a full time gig, it’s been keeping me quite busy!

I’ll probably post again early next week, as I’m starting to get the hang of my schedule with working and freelancing. I’m still working from home with this new job, so that’s great. And it’s doing what I love!

I’m also going to be taking an online class starting next week. It’s on web writing and editing, and will mostly be a brush-up class for me, but it was a good deal and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity for networking and sharpening my skills a bit.

Oh, by the way, MONDAY, AUGUST 20th, IS MY BIRTHDAY!

And while I’m excited about that, we’re also gearing up for more storms here, and the possibility of a hurricane. We just had Tropical Storm Erin dump lots of rain on us these last few days. Hopefully we won’t have to evacuate like a few years ago.

That’s the quick update for now! I’ve been collecting some fun and informative links, stories, and videos, and will start sharing them again next week! After my birthday. And as long as my computer can stay on during the possible storms. But soon!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Let them eat cake… and spam?

So, I'm weeding through Akismet on my All About Musicals site, and what's the latest spam going around? Cake. Seriously... I'm getting hundreds of spam comments (Akismet is catching them!) all having to do with cake mix recipes. Red Velvet Cake, Pound Cake, Strawberry Cake, Wedding Cake, cake molds, even a cake recipe using Diet ...

I'm Back!

Don't worry-- I haven't disappeared. I returned from our trip to New York on July 28, but became ill the last day or so of our trip, and the chest cold part of it has stayed on throughout the last week. I'm finally starting to feel a bit better, but between the exhaustion from our trip ...
