Crystal Clear

Crystal Clear someone is pretty brave...

...in handing me a spare set of keys to this blog!  muahahaha

Hi Crystal fans, I'm Beth from My VRWC and I'm here to give Crystal a hand while she's busy with the big move!  She must be desperate for help if she asked for me, 'cause I've been known to let a few zingers fly from time to time.  hehehe  If you don't already know me or my blog, well, you suck you will soon.  ;-)

Guess what though, I really don't have shit to say today.  My own blog is feeling so neglected that I had Eric from Vince Aut Morire toss up a few of his posts at my site!  Anyone wanna fill in the blanks at his site now?  (just kidding)

So, uh, how's the weather?

OK, I can do better than that.

Let's play a game.  Until I can get back to this tomorrow, I'm giving you all an ASSIGNMENT.  That's right, I'm bossy as hell and I expect compliance.  But you'll like this, I'm sure.

One of my favorite fun-bloggers, Michele Agnew, has this "meet and greet" comment game that I use at my site on occasion (ripped with Michele's permission, of course). 

How to play:

• Leave a comment here that says hello.
• Now, go visit the person who commented above you and say Hello, Beth (or Crystal Clear)  sent me.
  

Please play along.

Note to the first person commenting: go to Michele's blog and say hello (since this is her baby), or just say hello here to Crystal and me.

And YES, of course you are invited to play as often as you wish.

Come on, y'all, you might find some new blog you like!

Another Way to Shift Back to Regular Blogging

    Auguste over at  MalkinWatch seems to think I needed a change of subject from blogging for Terri Schiavo. So here we go...

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?

    I too don't take kindly to the burning or vandalizing of books and shudder even when I think of it so I will go with the interpretation of a book to be memorized, which I think off the top of my head would be :As a Man Thinketh

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Hmmm...Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind... I was 9 years old and I guess already falling for that naughty rascal type....Also Aragorn from Lord of the Rings trilogy

The last book you bought is:

    Why Not? How to Use Everyday Ingenuity to Solve Problems Big and Small

What are you currently reading?

    I too multi-task:

• Sign With Your Baby Complete Learning Kit (ASL-based Book, Training Video & Quick Reference Guide combination)
• Counseling the Gifted and Talented
• Counseling Gifted and Talented Children: A Guide for Teachers, Counselors, and Parents (Publications in Creativity Research)

Definitely anxiously awaiting  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) this summer.

Five books you would take to a desert island:

• The Bible...(No... I am not a Christian... I am a Unitarian Universalist)
• Will to Meaning: Foundations and Applications of Logotherapy
• The Way of the Animal Powers (The Historical Atlas of World Mythology, Vol. 1)
• Some book full of beautiful art
• Leonardo DaVinci's Notebooks

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?

1. Shirazi of Light Within because I am curious to see how a Pakistani answers and I always like to check in with him
2. Todd of Chasing the American Dream because he is one of my newest readers and I want to learn more about him and he is an author himself!
3. Grace of I am Dr. Laura's Worst Nightmare because she seems stuck in some kind of meme hell and I want to see if she can keep it up...

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

That is exactly the way I feel about Monday holidays. Jump back to last Thursday and I was happy because I had a four day weekend ahead of me. With Memorial Day on Monday I now only have a three day work week! Yippee!
If it seems like I am not updating this blog that is a false conclusion and you just need to jump to Crystal Clear Memes to see I am posting regularly. Initially today was interesting in that the PT and OT from Easter Seals finally came for the appointment. It ended up being very interesting because...

Saturday Slant Newbie!

I think it is inevitable that Blogs become another source of advertising and revenue for many. I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing, just the continued metamorphisis of the web. As a financially strapped single mom to two boys, I certainly wouldn't mind making a few bucks from my referrals to Amazon or other affiliates.... By the way I am a newbie to this meme and haven't a clue as to if I did it correctly or linked it up correctly so if you are here because of Saturday Slant please congratulate me or at least let me know I did something right today.

Baker's Dozen

1. Lactulose
