CountryMouse's Refuge

By doing some searching, I learned (way late) that the founder of Blog 365 dropped out halfway through the year and didn't bother to even let the rest of us know.

So now I don't know if we even get any kind of recognition for our accomplishment or not.

I posted in a couple places in his blog. I hope he feels at least some responsibility towards those of us who did this for/with him.

Sheesh!

ETA: He did acknowledge the winners on the official site and with a nice badge too--I'll get it up later today. :-)

you get in the habit of posting every day, and now it's hard to stop running off at the mouth, errrr fingers.

I just feel really ripped off, especially if he never acknowledges our comments in *his* blog, asking him to at least come back over to the Blog 365 site he started and at least say, "Job well done!" or something. We earned at least a little freaking graphic badge for this. If we don't get one from him, by ghods, I'll make one of my own. :-/

ETA: We *did* get a nice badge. All's well that ends well. :-)

NaBloPoMo. I don't know if I'll do *any* posts on the theme for the month (which is an optional thing anyway).

Okay, back to eating the rest of my breakfast--yes, I get very very distracted by the Internet. :-P

2008 was some kind of year, wasn't it? I mean especially the politics and the history-making events.

I'm glad I was blogging every day during all that. I wrote in my paper journal too. It's nice to have something to look back at and see what you did with your days and what things occurred. Time doesn't seem to have been wasted quite so much if you can actually see how you *spent* it.

The theme for blogging for this month at NaBloPoMo is "Change".

So okay, here is where you should go...and OFTEN: Change.gov

Of course, after January 20th (woohoo!!!), we'll all be going to The White House's official site!! YAY OBAMA!!

It's weird to feel it now, and after many years.

I have just now been reading back through January of 2002. I was finishing my radiation treatments then. I just plowed through that part and didn't really feel scared or anything (the radiation part--the surgery part the year before scared me). *Now* I have tears in my eyes.

I guess I'm feeling so thankful for the support Cat'r and Bunnicula gave me, also my counselor from Cancer Family Care, my friends on LiveJournal (I was still there, then), etc.

It's almost like I'm reading the posts of someone else and feeling sympathy for her. Is that weird or what?!

Yay! Here they are. Thanks!

I play Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii. I played a lot so far today. I'll need to go back after 5pm, since that's when Pete delivers the mail; and both DH and I ordered a lot of furniture for me from Tom Nook.

I got my basement this morning, so I am rearranging all my furniture in my house, plus decorating a new room. You can actually hang wallpaper and lay carpeting in the basement now! Yay for finished basements!

Also, yesterday I was gifted with one of the rare series of furniture: the Jingle series. I didn't go running around on Christmas Eve, trying to find Jingle, so some friends had an extra set they had gotten and gave it to me--nice!

Tomorrow Tom Nook is closing shop to renovate and expand his store. When he opens up again on Monday, we'll have a full-blown Nookington's in town! So no shopping or selling or ordering things tomorrow. I always hate those days when he's closed. At least we don't have those awful raffle days at the end of the month anymore like we did in the GameCube version of the game! :-D

What I have been twittering about today:

• 06:39 @KenyB Thank you so much, both of you! :-) I'll be rearranging furniture today--basement today! Yay! #
• 07:10 Feel like a chump. Did the Blog 365 Challenge for all of 2008--founder dropped out in June, I just learned. What a rip-off. :-/ #
• 08:32 @PragueBob You mean anyone over 32 shouldn't be on Twitter? What did we used to do before computers?! We had more time. #
• 10:02 @TrevorDickerson I was "condemning" because he abandoned us and until I and another agitated, we were not going to get a badge. #
• 10:06 @kamenlee came through and made a nice badge for all of us that completed the Blog 365 Challenge! I'll get mine up later today. :-) #
• 10:07 @kamenlee Geez sorry, but I was hoping to see recognition without our having to bug you for it. Thanks for the nice badge. :-) #
• 10:09 To all those who do not regularly follow me: I am not usually a b*tch. If you don't like what I'm saying, stop following me. #
• 11:41 @KenyB Well, yes, it's a personal quest. But I thought there usually is some kind of badge or something for having done it. :-P #
• 11:42 Here is the Blog 365 badge + a gift: tinyurl.com/7ddmxp #
• 11:46 @knittybob Um...heh. Actually...I am not following you. I cut back on some folks because there are so many tweets! #
• 11:47 @PragueBob Um, I think I understand...but...not? #
• 11:54 @TrevorDickerson Sorry, I can't find your reply. Point me to it? #
• 12:03 I need something else to eat...my blood sugar needs a boost. BBIAB. #
• 16:05 @knittybob ah, ok. :-) I was in confused mode this morning. :-D #
• 16:05 @CLIC6608 It all turned out all right after all. :-) #
