Ridiculous Thoughts

The ramblings of a slightly mad chick with far too much time on her hands :)

I haven’t written in a while

I’m sad to say this blog has sort of fallen by the wayside with the advent of things like Posterous, Twitter, Facebook and various other social media things I’m involved in. These days, when I have a passing thought I want to release into the wild, I end up doing it on Facebook or Twitter. [...]

Oh crikey

I just looked at the date of my last post here and felt an immediate sense of guilt. Sheesh
What’s happened since I got to hear my awesome daughter sing? Probably the biggest thing is I wrote a book. Yup! Years and years of wishful novel-writing and I finally stopped talking about it and [...]

Catching up

It occurs to me that I have been neglecting this blog. This blog that I have had since before Google owned Blogger. This blog that has been through so many changes, both cosmetic and in focus.
