Help a fellow blogger raise money for Cancer Research

by

Colleen from 3 Day Mom and Simple Kind of Life is busy working to collect donations for the Three Day Walk for Cancer Research that she’ll be doing in Tampa next year. She completed the Three Day Walk in Philadelphia this past October and she’s raring to go for next years walk.

Her goal is to raise $2200 in donations for her Tampa three day walk. Can you help her? Anyone that donates $20 will get a personal thank you and a write up in her blog, plus a link in her side bar for the next twelve months as a 3-Day donor.

If you want to help her, and or read more about the walk and her goals just visit her 3 Day Mom Donation post. I’m going to make a donation sometime in the near future, I just need to figure out my finances etc first, but I will. Why don’t you join me in helping Colleen with her goal?

If you can’t make a donation right now perhaps you could blog about her goal to raise money for the Three Day Walk for Cancer Research and help her in that way?





Will you vote for my friend

by

Ah, it’s that time of year again. Yes, the Weblog awards are going on right now. In fact, they began on December 7th, and will end on December 15th. I believe that there are 45 different categories this year. I was nominated in a few categories myself but I didn’t make the final cut. Oh well maybe this year.

I was hoping that my readers would do me a huge favor though. Would you please go and visit the Weblog awards site and vote for my friend Mrs. Lifecruiser? She’s the sweetest lady and I just adore her site. Her posts are straight from the heart and if you let them, her stories will reel you in and take you to whatever place she happens to be talking about.

Please vote for Lifecruiser in the Weblog category best diarist?

You can vote everyday and there’s still five days left. Vote, Vote, Vote.

Thank you!

I like reading celeb gossip – do you?

by

Occasionally I give my brain a break and just travel around to different blogs to read what they have to say.

When I’m in real relax mode sometimes I end up finding the Celebrity Blogs amusing to read. I kind of like Damn I’m cute because there’s so many posts it’s easy to find something of interest to read. The latest posts are a Nip and Tuck spoiler and Reese’s divorce, and some dish on Britney.

Yeah I know – how shallow of me to like these kinds of blogs right? Come on, tell the truth, some of you find celebrity news interesting too don’t ya? I don’t want to hear about it all the time, and in fact if I do hear about it all the time I’ve been known to complain very loudly, but every once in a while it’s kind of fun to read these kinds of blogs.

Busy week buzzing around the Internet

Thirteen Things about My internet activities this week

1. I’ve been having some fun visiting some of my favorite bloggers this week. Over at Doctor Mom’s I’ve been voting on her idiot of the week postings, and since I’m a regular poster there she’s going to give me a lot on her cul de sac (a permanent space in her side bar) if I’m the top commenter over there this week!

2. I’ve also been hanging out over at Zed’s this week too. Yesterday she had a Canadian day party. Blog parties are a lot of fun. I might have even had the most fun since I was the only Canadian there for the longest time!

3. Then there’s my visits to Pointless Drivel. A few of us seem to compete to be the first person to leave a comment when he puts his latest post up, then we banter back and forth. It’s kind of fun and it’s always interesting to see what Mr. Fab has to say about it when he posts his comments.

4. One of my favorite bloggers Shelli from Shelli’s Sentiments is on a Florida vacation this week. She got to swim with a dolphin on Monday! Lucky girl.

5. Today I spent some time trying to break up a fight that broke out on one of the mailing lists I run – The uromastyx Mailing list. Yeah, the lizard people were fighting! Go figure!

6. I made Mrs. Lifecruisers very special A-Team list! I’m so proud and that bribe I gave her certainly came in handy!

7. I’ve also spent some time in the past week promoting the FOUR blogrolls that I started. Mr. Fab and Mrs. lifecruiser also helped me with this task.

8. I might as well tell you about the blogrolls – since I’m sure you’ll ask about them if I don’t. You would wouldn’t you?

9. One of the blogrolls that I started asks for weekly participation. Anyone who has nice nature photos – be it landscape, garden, garden plants – flowers and greenery – that they are willing to post each Sunday is welcome to join Green Thumb Sunday.

10. The other blogrolls that I started don’t require any participation other than keeping your blog up to date by posting 3 or 4 times a week. One of those blogrolls is for photobloggers and it’s called Fabulous Photoblogs. I’m looking for true photoblogs to join this blogroll.

11. Another blogroll that I run is the I am Canadian blogroll. Other than posting regularly the only other requirement is that you are Canadian, whether you currently live in Canada or not.

12. The last blogroll is a little more specific. I’m looking for bloggers from the Toronto area (the GTA – If you are from the GTA you’ll know what that means) to join the Toronto Bloggers blogroll.

13. I’ve been pretty busy on the internet this week. Leaving comments all over the place and working on my little projects. I need a break!

Please only list your name if you have a recent Thursday Thirteen post. Links left by non-participants will be removed. Also, don’t link and run – that’s just rude.

Finally reviewed!

A very long time ago, ok maybe last May, I submitted my site to be rated over at Bloggy Award. Now, several months after I changed this blogs domain to feverishthoughts.com my site has been rated.

My site was apparently rated last Thursday, if you’d like to read the article and tell me what you think you can find it here.

I thought it was pretty good as ratings go. He must have gone to the original site of this blog (http://triciaswaterdragon.com/blog ) and didn’t pick up on the fact that it had changed domains when “it took him to a new domain when he clicked on a link”.

I can’t find any kind of link on the Bloggy Award site to e-mail him and let him know that the link should be updated to my new domain, and that my sidebars roll up now, so they hopefully look a little less cluttered. I just did that last week, don’t you think it looks a bit better?

If you read the article of my site come back and let me know what you think of it.

__________________________

I’m being stalked! No, no it’s not my old lady neighbor Sofie this time. Well, yes she still continues to stalk me by knocking on my door or calling me each day if she doesn’t see me at least 5 times a day. No this time it’s another blogger!

Shelli from Shelli’s Sentiments has fixated on me this week. I don’t know if I should be honoured or scared? I think I’ll go with honoured and pleased since she’s saying such nice things about me over there. You should check out her site if you haven’t been there recently. She’s really sweet and I love her site. She’s also the winner of the Compassionate Award from the Blog Emmy’s. She deserved the win!

Another person you should go visit is Doctor Mom. See that square thumbnail of her site in the left upper corner of the page? yep, she’s my renter this week. She’s renovating her cul de sac – thanks to someone called Mr. Fab who wants a bigger lot on the street, and she need a place to stay. The idiot of the week has been chosen. Go on over and see who it is, I’m sure you’ll get a laugh when you do, the photos are Hilarious!

It also turns out that she likes baseball – the Minnesota Twins I think. Speaking of baseball, my hubby and his dad when to the Blue Jays game last night. They beat Boston!

So go on over and vist Doctor Mom at You’ve got 2 B Kidding would you? Let her know that her favorite landlord sent you. I just know you are going to love her site.
