I don’t post very often, because most of what I have to say can be said in 140 characters or less, and if it takes more, it’s still usually short enough to fit as a FaceBook update. However, I don’t wish to inundate my FB Friends or Tweeps with too many blatherings, so I figured I’d foist it off on you guys.

Besides, I have way too many posts to write on my niche sites and I’d rather procrastinate.

1. Since I can’t concentrate in absolute silence OR with something interesting on the TV, I’ve taken to turning on the virtual fireplace screensaver on Comcast OnDemand (go to TV Entertainment, scroll down to the bottom- TV Screensavers). Every time my husband walks into the room, he goes straight over to the TV and warms his hands by the “fire”.

2. Am I right in thinking that any keyword where the first result in the search engines turns out to be Mahalo (another search engine of sorts) should be really easy to dominate?

3. I’ve discovered that I’m not as big of a fan of Sauvignon Blanc as I used to be, but I never get tired of smelling it.

4. Prescription drugs aside from for short term issues like a nasty cold are the tool of the devil. I’m pretty sure anyway. Since I went off the Metformin and hubs went off the Simvastatin, our health and moods have been exponentially better.

5. I totally love the word “incontrovertible”.

6. It’s a good thing that I’m too laid back/lazy to do anything with my opinions, because I often find that my opinions are wrong.

7. I have a new site for historical reenactment costumes, and have found that researching posts is waaaay too distracting. Simple shoe sites turn out to be pack with period information, and while researching renaissance shoes, I found out just how dang easy they are to make. Now I need good needles and imitation sinew so I can try it out! Unfortunately, my interest in medieval and renaissance shoes is distracting me from the more profitable Civil War shoes post that I want to promote.

8. I can’t concentrate to work at all when I’m at all hungry. This does nothing for my health or profits.

9. I’ve found out that I make an awesome chicken corn noodle soup from scratch. I’m only a little miffed that hubs can’t tell the difference when I substitute Maneschewitz’s chicken broth for my own home made stock. (I’d be more miffed, but opening a can is a LOT less work)

10. I totally want this Lunchin’ Ladies lunch bag tote from QVC in the patent burgandy or that cute plaid. Yanno… my birthday’s coming up (not that I’m hinting or anything).

11. I’ve also just found out that Monster Energy Drink hates America, or at least American small business. This is what I hate about corporate America. First they’re not satisfied with their profit margins when hiring, oh, their customers? So they ship as much of their work over seas as they can. But that’s not good enough, nooooo. They also have to take out anyone who is competition, or who could some day become competition. Monster is suing a small brewery in Vermont because one of their beers is called.. get this… Vermonster. Because, obviously Vermonster is a play on Monster’s brand and not, oh, a play on the state of VERMONT. See, companies have been doing this to website owners for years, but this is the first that I’ve heard of a huge company trying to destroy a little one with absolutely no legal leg to stand on. You know what they did. They obviously did a search for all drink companies with the word “monster” in their name and sent out form notices. I’ll bet they don’t even know who this guy is! That’s what they do with websites, why would it be any different offline? See my full rant about Monster Energy Drinks by clicking that link.

And now, my brain has officially checked out, so… that’s it for probably another month or two.
