I thought it might be interesting for everyone to come in and give a short description of their latest post. That way it can give other NaBloPoMo members some ideas if they get a dry spell, and it's a good way to generate traffic on your own blogs... just don't forget to include the link!
For example, my Thursday post features a commercial that is pure poetry in motion. As one of my commentators said: "If all advertisements were of this quality, life would be more fun"
That sounds so touching. I want to go check it out but no link.. guess I can find my way there.
My blog post today is called A Passion for Mandalas. I did an short interview with the mandala artist who's work is featured.
I blogged about traveling across snowy West Virginia to tell stories in Virginia . And I wrote a short thank-you to those who read my blog. It's the curious thing about blogging that we often do not know who comes by and reads, and yet somehow I feel connected to the hidden readers.
Tonight I'll write more about storytelling, and about making fruitcakes with my seven sisters. We're among the small number of people who actually like fruitcake! My cakes are sweetly soaking up brandy as I write (the sherry went into the mix)--they'll be ready to eat in a few weeks.
I hardly know anyone who likes fruitcake which I find surprising because I love it and would have it all the time if it weren't so fattening. It always amazes me how much range blogging allows for, from fruitcake to traveling in snowy landscapes... wonderful having so little rules and all that room for creativity to bloom.
I admit it, I like the different fruits within the cake (and putting it together), though I still have fun at the cake's expense, too. Yes, it's delicious and fattening treat. That's why one can only have it once a year. :D
My husband loves fruitcake. I told him that I'll make him one, though I don't know if I know how to just make one. Or even a small one just for him. I'll have to make like 40 mini-loafs and just pass them out to people.
Today I blogged about my son coming home from Iraq tomorrow on leave, which made for a weird Thanksgiving, and also posted a lot of photos of our trip last weekend across West Virginia--some pretty, pretty places. And about cutting the last roses in my garden.
Quirky Jessi Last night I blogged about an animation of a spinning girl.....if you see her spinning one way, it means you're right-brain oriented, and the opposite for left. Check it out to see which one you are. It's kinda freaky when you can't see how others could see it differently....or even worse, when you can make her change directions!
I saw that! That was so cool! I was really frustrated at first because I couldn't see her spinning in the other direction and I thought it was a joke, but I tilted my head and she just... switched somehow. Fascinating. I already spent too much time staring at her. But I highly recommend the experience.
