Something interesting happened today and yesterday that have something to do with each other. There is a slight element of synchronicity between the two events. Let me explain.
Just yesterday I was reading one of my fav. blog authors, Sherry of Sherry's Cherrys and she wrote a fantastic blog about blogging! Especially aimed at the newbies. I said it had inspired me to do my own post about the topic. And I also told her that as is my m.o., whenever I'm inspired by any of YOU wonderful people out there, I always give you credit. Just recently, I have had Polar Bear, CM and Secret to thank for a few of my posts! They were my muses of sorts!
So now I must thank Sherry! Although the post is not exactly as I had envisioned it yesterday! The direction will be different.
The other event was that another blogger asked me how I got into blogging.
So I guess that's the heavens telling me to write about blogging!?
Or is it that Mercury, the planet of communications is going into Gemini, the sign of writing in just a few short hours! But I digress!
So here it is...THE BLOG POST!
Thank you! Thank you everyone for being so nice! I've been doing this since Oct. 1st, 2006 and not once has anyone ever had an unkind word. (there was that itty bitty incident where I kinda' stood up too fast and got in the middle of someone else's fray and then ducked, ran and took a hiatus for several months but that's it! No scars! No gunpowder wounds! Hey, sometimes that happens in real life too, you kinda' show up at the wrong time and OW! collateral damage!
Thank you to the following for entertaining me, making me laugh, making me think, making me cry even, making me puke (you know who you are Misty! LOL Mondays will never be the same!
)
This is NOT a goodbye....just a thank you! And astrologically, this is the NEW MOON, a time when we start new things and send out our intentions into the universe so...with that being said,...my INTENTION is to thank those that add or have added to my days with their humor, their words of wisdom and spirit!

I have enjoyed reading your blog and to share in that part of your life that you have revealed to us. Thank you.
You my dear sir are both a scholar and a gentleman!
Your blog has entertained me just as much as it has taught me a thing or two or helped put a different perspective on a particular subject!
It is my honor to visit your blog (almost) every day! Some days get past me but then if you tried to read every single blog, every single day...well, I think someone would be in a straight jacket headed for the looney gazebo!
Michele aka pr
You need a bus to hall all your friends around and that's me
Nope...I stayed safe...most of the day spent at the computer! No bang ups, bruises, cuts, scrapes, poundings, slams, crashes, fires, tornados, bumps, accidents, casualties or tragedies...
Yes indeedy doo---Monday was good to me!
m.
How COULD I miss you!
It's not like I've never visited your blog after all...but you know how it is...soooo many blogs, so little time!
I'm making time for the BusMan! Itza' date!
I've included you on the blog list to the right there and I will frequent you a bit more often! HOW DARE I LEAVE THE BUS off the list...what WAS I thinking! LOL
Michele aka pr
Pretty Rubble mentioned me in her blog.....I'm Somebody!!!!!
I read Sherry's post just now too and it was very well written. Blogstream certainly has an appeal that no other blogging site has. I just hope it stays that way and they don't advertise the crap out of it and it turns into Myspace or something. You know: some things are best kept a secret!
Thanks for the post - keep on bloggin' sista!!!
I was gone for awhile and came back just to be finding a lot of new bloggers.
Part of your post was about blogging, I blog to met and see different people and places,
and most of all be kind and gentle, and have some fun! Party over at Big Al's
"thoughts of a drinking buddy"
My KIDS don't even know WHERE I blog...but then speaking of myspace..come on...they couldn't give a shit about Blogstream...it's so....old fart!
So the Blogstream secret is safe with me!
19 months and counting....shhhhhhhh!
m.
PS)guess who's over her you know what!! It came, it saw, it conquered
it left....
PPS) OF COURSE you got a mention...I know a fun blog when I read it!
Let's Roll!
m.
Uh, it's a wine people...I didn't literally get on board Busman's bus with a fish eye in my glass! Just wanted to clear that up fast!
Right this way to the red carpet AFTER PARTY!.....
m.
And YOU will notice that I"m minding my P's and Q's so no more damage comes from me.

I did get a chance, kind of when I choreographed a song from Pocohontas. It was with a bunch of 5-9 year olds, what was the song...(Rubble puts on thinking cap.)..."Colors of the Wind" And I had a coworker from my preschool that signed, teach me a few lines and I taught the little girls. It was so pretty and they did so well...(but then they started actually dancing and the ballet went downhill fast!) Oh well...they LOOKED cute all dressed up like little Indians!
m.
You might be thankful for many here, butchaknow? Many of US are thankful for YOU too, Rubble!
A BIG thanks to YOU for the inspiring YOU do. I don't think there's been a time when reading your one of your posts or comments, that I haven't taken something away from it.
Keep doing what you do!!!
....you are one of the sweetest people (and busiest moms) I know here in the Stream!
OF COURSE you get a mention!
m.
....out of the winter doldrums and open up the windows of my blog, pull back the curtains and shout to the blog world....THANK YOU!!!!!
And sometimes I've read your posts and you've gotten my parental blood stirred up! LOL
Take Care and again, thanks for being out there for me to enjoy reading!
m.
So many different flavors of bloggy ice cream to choose from...no wait...it's like a veritable buffet...you got your steak, your chicken, your sushi....your salad bar...your soups...veggie platters, pastas etc... So happy you are all out there for me to pick and choose from, nibble and scarf, taste and savor!
Thanks for stopping by!
m.
You are a sweet
m.
PS) what the hell does Ps and Qs stand for? Hmm..gotta' do a google on that expression!
You know where to send your questions to!
Your friendly, neighborhood Blogstrologer!
m./pr
Thanks for being wonderful YOU!
Bear Hugs!

I thought I'd stop by to say hello and it's nice to see you excited about blogging. I have been here since the end of July 2007, and had been welcomed by many. My hubby Shadow joined not too long after I, and had his 2 blogs and was greeted very kindly also. I have seen within the last 2 months, the stream has been very settling and calm waters flowing. People getting back to really posting like everyone was in Dec 2007, solidarity is a good thing. You know that, I've seen you really good posts and all the people who come into comment. I hope you're having a good night. Thank you for stopping by my place with such kind words. I do appreciate that.
take care -
blogging- I just started ....
is that ok?????????
Pretty Rubble - I will never forget your first visit to my blog with the bubble gum birthday salute!!!!! TAke care - June
MUSE POWER!!
Much love,...
m. aka pr
You....a "novice"???
Seriously....if daughter and I lived closer...I would definitely be on your couch...
I, uh, might have another issue to chat with you about in a few days....we'll see how it plays out...
Gawd....who knew I'd have such questions 10 years ago when she was my "right hand gal".....
UGH.....parenting...from a distance....is tough....
Anyhoo...I'm so glad you are around....to use and abuse ! LOL
Sometimes it's the weirdest little thing that just hits home with us!
But Tink...keep writing....because obviously...something you write about resonates with me...and no doubt others!!!
Human nature...it's a bitch...but sometimes it's soooo cool! Especially when we "connect"! For example....you write about your stoopid job...I say, "I wish you didn't have to deal with it"
....there's a connection!!! ....I think...'I never had to deal with such a f*cky job, why should MY BLOG BUDDY TINK!'
.....So I'm hoping my itty bitty little humble prayer that you find better circumstances develops into fruition.... isn't it amazing how life works!!
m.
You are such a sweet woman June....usually 4 out of 8 blogs have been visited and blessed by your visit!
I just came up with 4 outta' 8 because well...I'm bad at math and it's almost 1:30 am my time and it sounded about right!!!
Tee hee!
Thank you for allowing me to "use and abuse" your hubby! He gave me some good advice with my oldest about a year ago...and I might need his "counseling" again!
She's 21....enuff said!!???
*sigh!! Oh to be 21 again myself...hmm...on second thought...I WOULDN'T want to be 21 again...it seems all cool when you are that age but looking back you see just how messed up you were!!! Oops, maybe I'm wrong...maybe that's just my impression!?
m.
Here's to karma and dharma!.....mostly DHARMA!
(((hugs)))) and (((((( big ass tips!!!)))))
