Well, since I have a million things to do to follow up from our trip, I did something else.

That's typical me. If one thing is overwhelming, I warm up on something else, or work on something different until I can wrap my mind around the overwhelming.

I'm not much into political blogging, but today I designed a new theme for my t-shirt and sticker shop.

You can see my new
Disappointed Republican
shirts and stickers
now at Impecunious Impressions.

I'm not trying to push my politics on anyone, I designed the shirt for me.

:oP

I just figured there are others out there...

Anyhoo, I also uploaded The Calhoun Chronicle web site for this week, including our monthly recycling column which I mentioned in KentuckyPine's blog about recycling.

You can see Judy's piece on recycling in the garden here..

Again, not trying to self-promote, but since everyone seemed so interested in recycling...

I think I'll split my time between two specific tasks next, working on the West Virginia description for Intelliguide (Due June 6) and sorting through all the photos we took over the weekend. I hope to post some here, but haven't quite mastered the html yet and I'm a little nervous to try it.

In the meantime, here's my response to the latest meme. And I've edited out the questions I didn't like. Sue me.
