Llama Lu Lu uses Squarespace for her blog. She's 8 & already has fabulous taste. (Not to mention her co-blogger, Lisa...her mom.)
Okay, fine. Maybe Stretch Armstrong isn't on the market anymore. Or Cabbage Patch Dolls. Kids today are missing them too. On the other hand, the little girl I was back then would have loved to get her hands on a blog. Can you imagine?Tarah Rosendahl...

In praise of the anonymous blogger

"You are so good at blogging about the most interestingly random topics!"
It seemed like every hour or two, somebody was doubled over with laughter for yet another reason. Hanging out with Cindy Cage for two days straight was one of my favorite things about participating in A Bit of Indulgence last month. And her own laugh...
Tends to hide when overstimulated
Since going back to work for myself, there hasn't been a single event that's had me surrounded by people everywhere, with a hoppin' agenda in hand. Not, that is, until yesterday. There's more to be said about ConvergeSouth 08 - the sights, the sounds...
