My newest newest blog.

For curious onlookers..

I have migrated BACK to wordpress. And will sporadically blog. Because as Emily pointed out: I just can't help it. I know this is not a good way to keep readers, but in reality I guess I blog as much for me as I do for  you. So, if you can still stand me and my wishy washy blog habits...here's a link to my

OTHER BLOG

:)

Here it is again. Me: un-blogging my life.

Hey folks. Shoot. I just have so much going on in my life right now, it's really hard for me to be consistent with this blog. It weighs on my mind, and then days go by and I don't blog, and then I just know that I've got bad blogger karma headed my way. I can't take another episode with a spricket or Cyrus going bonko.

I think I'm going to have to just make it official, and shut down this blog until I have a better clue about what I can realistically handle in my life. I'm sure that at some point in the future I'll be back, maybe not here but maybe somewhere else. Maybe I'll even have a focus other than the random crap I post lately. I don't know. Things are weird.

If anyone out there would like to contact me, I would be more than happy to hear from you. You can email me by clicking that email me link underneath my photo.

Thanks to all of you for being so good to me over the past while and a half. In my friendless world, you have been my friends, and I appreciate you all so much.

Ta ta for now, and don't be afraid to keep in touch. I am good at returning emails.

Best,

Chelsea

Update: I'm still alive, though absolutely deprived of restful sleep.

I've done a quick sweep for typos in last nights' post, because yeah. There were like twenty. You try typing one fingered from your iphone while fearing for your life.  And I've also found a picture of what Satan's little helpers look like:

Turns out they are called Camel Crickets, Cave Crickets or Spider Crickets by some, but people who know and fear them (which seems to be everyone) call them Sprickets. Ew. They got this name by having every possible creeptastic characteristic of a spider, with the ability to jump pyschotically far in any direction, with the added bonus of totally erratic directional preferences.

Usually, they just go for your face, no matter where you are or how fast you can bust out the bug dance. Doesn't matter if you're a super ninja with cat-like reflexes. Your face your face your face.  Get it offff meeeeeee! The only other universal nickname I found for these is Godammits. For totally obvious and appropriate reasons. Oh, plus they are huge. HUGE. Pretty much this photo is life sized. Unless you're looking from your iphone. Actually, if you have like a 30" screen, this photo will probably accurately represent the true nastitude of this hideous creature.

There are about three kajillion of these sickos living in the crawlspace under my house. They like it dark, hence the cave cricket moniker. Anyhow, why don't you just do a little Google search for either Camel Cricket or "creepy spider cricket thing" and you will see that I join pretty much every Virginian in blogging history in my deathly fear of this (harmless, apparently) Spricket of Doom.

This is Craptastic! I'm Smarter Than I Thought. Or Am I...? Drat!

Turns out vastitude is a real word! The Typepad spellcheck doesn't think so. Uncle Jim had to shed some light on that one. Time for me to make up a new new word. And then check to make sure it's not already a word.

Stupid Latinians an their Latinian roots.

I'M MIGRATING TO WORDPRESS.

I'm still trying to figure out how to import everything over there. Some of it went but a lot of it didn't make it in the transfer. All new posts will be at http://88words.wordpress.com Make a note of it! I'm doing this because the Modofly blog is at WP and I don't want to be bouncing back and forth between two different dashboards and confusing myself.

Also, my blogging needs have changed, and I don't really need all the fancy stuff that Typepad offers. I still love you, Typepad!  The new blog is super duper simplified, and when I get around to it, I will start adding my blogroll over there. If you want to be added, please leave a comment with your blog addy at the new 88words home.

Thanks for hangin' in there with me, folks!

Things are weird.More later.

Thanks for Playing.

It's been real. I'm out. This blog is now defunct. Not sure if it will be resurrected one day or not.

Cheers all-

We Have Signage!

WHOOOO! Just in time for All Wheel's Weekend, which is THE Dayton event of the year.  We really have a sign in our yard. Finally. Pray hard for a buyer people, PLEASE! We need to sell this house.

Now I'm off to see if there are any interesting cars rolling into town yet. Many women might find car shows boring, but I really like old cars and motorcycles and machines. They just don't make 'em like they used to. I'll take some pix this weekend and prove it.

Please visit RAVENOUS and tell me what you think of the TAMPON CRAFTING MAN.

Ravenous.

I've started a new blog. Please check it out and leave me a comment!
