Last week
I was at the library and was going to tweak some of my pictures in my last
post. When I post from my phone the pictures are the wrong size and all
at the end and I don't like that. However, I couldn't find my post.... So
I looked at my blogger app....
And my
post from September 20th is still saving. And my post for FNSI failed to
publish. :(
This has
happened before and I can't access the post at all, not to delete, edit,
or retry. Since this happens regularly, I try to copy to the clipboard before saving
/publishing so I don't have to re type. Alas, I did not remember and
didn't even notice that it didn't work until days later.
Grrrr!
I was rather distracted when I wrote because I got to stay the entire week with
my kidlets and I remember thinking "I'll just post this real
quick" then had so much to write that it took the whole time and
then the troops arrived home and fun and chaos ensued. :) We did
have a great time and got alot accomplished for my sister. Then I needed
a week to recover - ;D
I
won't try to fit all that I have been up to in one post. Here's some
