I posted this in my photoblog so you can clicky to see this a little bit larger (as intended). I didn’t want you to miss this one, in case you’re not a subscriber to my photoblog (ahem), so I’m doubling up the postage.
I only snapped three photos of this guy before he flew off yesterday afternoon – the first two were total blurs. This one? I am happy with. To say the least. Enjoy!
Queue On-hold Music… er, Bunneh. Your new Hostess of the Holding Pattern, Dusty, would like to amaze you with her crazy ability to stand and walk like a human! Yes, she can! Especially if you have a grape.
Do you have a grape? Everybunny should have one.
My post count was at a very icky number. Now it isn’t.
And, just to have a point to this post, I did fill up my store with original paintings and some custom portrait packages available for purchase, so you may click here and go shopping, if you’d like.

Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh-in #7!
Here I go again with another update, another loss this week although it could have been better, I’m okay with it and I’ll do better this week. Next week I should have a nice pretty picture of a (faux) gold 10% keychain for you. 🙂
The last week was hurried and rushed and I ate out twice – even though my choices were okay, they could have been better and I probably sabotaged my own goal of getting to 10% this week. I feel as though I completely failed myself the whole week in both my weight loss and my own personal goals, and in turn failed everyone around me. Not that you guys even know what my goals were, but that’s just the kind of pressure I put on myself. I need to learn to let that stuff go.
I did get a couple of things accomplished already this morning, trying to make up for my personal failures last week, so any absence here on my blog will definitely not be indicative of me being lazy. I have a lot to do to get things where I expected them to be, I just hope this week is clear of the hurdles I encountered last week.
Getting caught up on e-mail is on my list of things-to-do, too. I hope you’re all doing well, and thanks for standing by and supporting me!!

I ran through several of my blogs yesterday and upgraded them the latest version of WordPress. (Hey, I was waiting for a client to get back to me. I had to do something.) I get asked a lot about upgrading people, and it seems the majority of folks are afraid of messing things up. I’m here to tell you – that’s hard to do. Really. If you can install a plugin, you can upgrade your blog.
I’m giving you a step-by-step tutorial so that you can upgrade yourself. Really, there’s no reason to not be using the most current version, except that it costs money unless you’re willing to do it yourself.
For versions previous to 2.7: There’s a plugin for this, as well. WordPress Automatic Upgrade is available here. Be sure to read through all of the instructions before use. This plugin DOES THE BACKUP FOR YOU. I recommend you proceed with “manual” steps in the plugin so that you can download the backup to your own computer. 🙂
Without further blab, here’s how you do it (manually):
Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh-in #6!
It’s that time again, time for my weekly edition of “Holy Hell My Pants Are Falling Off”. Today marks the end of my sixth full week eating foods on the Core food list (ahem, no, you may not count the Domino’s as food.), and I even managed to surprise myself this week.
10% target: 1.8 pounds away.
So, uh, yeah! WoOt! Holy wowzeroonies, I don’t know what happened! Well, yes I do, I ate a lot more fish this week than I normally do, ’cause I found this phenomenal Coconut encrusted tilapia with papaya and mango that I couldn’t resist. Other than that, it’s been a relatively normal week with the fruits and the vegetables and the proteins and the brown rice and whole grain high fiber bread. These are things I’m used to now, and obviously they work – so I don’t intend to change my ways any time soon.
I cleaned my drawers out yesterday, went through my shorts and jeans and ended up with a nice stack of relatively new stuff that is too big/baggy to wear. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that.
For those of you thinking this is my first go at this – it’s not. When Hubby left for Iraq, I weighed over 200 pounds. I dropped 55 pounds while he was gone, gained about 20 back after he returned, lost the 20 again and held for a year. Now I’m going for the gusto – down to my pre-pregnancy weight from 12 years ago. Since 2004, I’ve lost 65.6 pounds, not counting the 20 I gained back and lost again. I have about 10-15 pounds to go before I reach my own ultimate personal goal, but I’ll keep eating this way because I feel better.
I have to say – this is a nice way to start the week. If the rest of the week follows suit, I should get a lot accomplished. Wish me luck much productive time!
Lulu moved to her new domain from WordPress.com. She’s hosted with BlueHost and for the life of me – I would love to know why on earth they won’t allow their clients to have their own ding-dang favicon. It’s supposed to be there, but NooOOO, all I see is a stupid blue box thing. :grumble: I made one. I uploaded it, BlueHost. Leave her favicon alone!
Did I say that out loud?! Wooops.
So, Yes. She moved to her new domain, and I installed WordPress, of course, and then imported her posts and comments with WP’s cool export & import tool – then stocked her installation with fun plugins for stats and comments and headline images (oh my!). I also imported her blogroll, another fine feature of WordPress – so she’s got all of the features she’s used to, and then some.
Lulu was also kind enough to really point out all the little details that make her design so special to her (and me, yes, me. It’s special to me, too. They all are.), go on over and have a look! Even her error page is cute, people. And the footer? heh –
Ready to Fly
I’ve been trying to open the door
To the secret of my destiny
And every new road I think is the one
Seems to lead right back to meI’ve looked for a way to be wiser
A way to be strong
Now I see the answer was hiding
In me all alongChorus:
And I’m ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I’m ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I’d find something to lift me so high
I’ve always had wings
But I wasn’t ready to flyRestless, hopeless, and misunderstood
Like so many others I know
So busy tryin’ to keep holdin’ on
When I should’ve been letting goI was given the gift to find it
The spirit inside me
But I never really imagined
All I could beChorus:
And I’m ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I’m ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I’d find something to lift me so high
I’ve always had wings
But I wasn’t ready to flyThe answer to all of my wonder
Was right in my hands
Now it’s time for me to discover
All that I amChorus:
And I’m ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I’m ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I’d find something to lift me so high
I’ve always had wings
But I wasn’t ready to flyI’ve always had wings
Now I’m finally ready to fly~Richard Marx Site

because you will not be able to eat just one piece, and letting it sit to room temperature or chilling it is just, well, an absolute cryin’ shame.
