OK. I'm down with that -- as they'd say in the hip circles. Yo.
"What should I put in?" I asked.
"I don't know," Karen said. "Like a picture of a plant or something. Anything."
I suggested some stop action pictures of me chasing off squirrels, and she said that would work, too. Anything to break up the long passages.
All righty. I can handle that -- plus it allows me to be more creative. And so I offer you these.
I can't give you a filmstrip or video of me chasing of A. B. Squirrel, but I can give you this in its stead:
It was the best I could come up with at the moment.
I do have some photos to put in of my garden, but, at the moment, I'm too lazy to get up and attach my camera to my laptop...I will do so soon, I promise. Plus I may just wait to get things a bit more robust out there...or perhaps some pictures to show progress would be wanted.
And since I don't have -- well I do have...I just don't want to get up -- a picture of my terrace to share, I give you this, something that sums up my feelings exactly of always trying to eat right...sometimes I'm with this guy, wanting to just have junk to eat. But, then...I suppose my waistline wouldn't really appreciate that all that much.
I totally agree with him. I'd much rather have cookies. Especially chocolate fudge chocolate chip cookies. Dark chocolate. Mmm...chocolate. (Sorry, Jane!)
Why...in taking Karen's advice (and no, I am not making fun with this blog -- I actually really do like the idea of putting in more pictures and videos!) I could be informative, a la Monty Python, and teach you how to recognize trees at great distances. And so I present to you --
THE LARRRCH!
Though...I supposed that's more of a near distance.
Anyhoo. I will see about "interspersing" some "creativity" throughout my blogs more often; I agree that it does make it a bit more interesting. I won't go so far as to start programming in Java scripts or Flash. At least -- not yet. Though I do know my brother, Andrew, is somewhat anti-Flash. Or perhaps even very much so. I know it, at one time, drove him crazy. May still.
Though that wasn't what drove him crazy in the first place. Having known him since I was eight (oh, those eight wonderful years of being an only child...an only child....*sigh*) , I can attest there's long been that personality trait.
And, yes, Andrew -- I suppose it takes one to know one.
Birds of a feather and all that!
(Though I'm sure Andrew would rather have it be opposites attracting...he still swears he's adopted. To that -- my father once said, "Okay -- either you're adopted and Heather's your sisiter, or you're my son." Andrew looked rather cornered at that choice. Ha!)
So...I will see about how I can spruce up my entries. I do enjoy the creative writing side of it, but I think I can also add in some illustrations....
I do suppose this way I can also share funny pictures I come across -- like this one:
And so, to appease Karen -- I now give you a picture of "a plant or something":
Later, all.

P.S. Was this sort of what you were thinking, Karen -- ?

I've got no idea what the first thing is, if it's a video from youtube, they've blocked it at work again. Seems they block it and facebook every so often for a month or two and then they are back. But yeah, that's kind of what I meant. Though really I was talking about pictures of what you're talking about, cause you talk about all these things on your terrace but few people have actually seen it. So not random pictures, but things that go with it. Makes it more fun to read, cause really we're all 5 and still like picture books :)
I like you blogs and the pictures are fun. I agree with Karen in that it would be nice to see your garden and more pictures of the things you blog about.
