Every once in awhile I like to see who’s visiting my blog and I’m always fascinated to see how far around the world my boring ramblings can reach. Brazil, Sweden, Belgium, Poland, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Lithuania and yesterday I even saw Croatia which is a dream and a goal of mine to travel to someday hopefully in the not too distant future. Do they really dress like this there?!
Anyway, if you stop back in please say hi and let me know if you have any travel suggestions for your beautiful country. My dream would be to see Montenegro and Greece also while visiting. And I have a fascination with castles so if you know of any great ones in the area please let me know. :)
I’ve also seen visitors from just about every state in the US. New York, NY and Brooklyn, Mobile & Montgomery Alabama, lots from Utah which I find very interesting. Fun places like Rancho Cucaomonga, CA and Goodlettsville, TN. At least they sound like fun places. :) I’ve been told I’m easily amused. :)
I’m behind on responding to some recent comments which I normally try to do by e-mail but this computer issue stuff has thrown me for a loop. So I thought I’d post a few responses here instead:
The amazing gifted actions I used on the photos a few posts back: they are the Totally Rad Actions (yes that’s the name, I wasn’t just trying to be cool) and you can find them at the Boutwell Studio website. Still lovin’ them! :)
On a possible upgrade to Vista: Thanks for the info Maegan. I think I’ll probably go ahead and upgrade now even if I get my laptop back with XP still loaded. I’ll definitely be checking out that thread over at DST though. :)
laptop for sale (as soon as I get my baby back, hopefully within a week):
Sony VAIO VGN-FS990 – Like new condition – asking $700
DiScTalk Radio interview: Deann was so easy to talk to and such a sweetheart. I still can’t believe she didn’t bump me for some new fresh face with twice the talent. I swear 90% of their listeners had to be like …. AuntiePea who??? I can’t bear to listen to it. Every time I hear my voice on a recording I feel like I should stop talking completely. It’s crazy to me because I hear myself talking all the time but somehow it sounds completely different when it’s on a recording. I don’t even have a recorded voice message on my cell phone. It’s just my name. I clearly have some hang-ups. Anyway, if you want to hear the interview you can check it out here. Thanks again so much Deann for the honor. Can’t wait to have a big glass of milk and coffee with you in person. ;)
Kay, remember this little idea?
The idea was that I would post this image each day that I actually did my pilates and I think I posted it once about 9 months ago. Well, I took a break from this long-winded post and did my 20 minute pilates work-out. Lets see if I can keep it up better this time. I might have that same stick-to-itiveness problem that my sister Manda has.
Believe it or not I still had tons more that I intended to post about tonight but I’m getting tired and this may already be a record-breaking long post so I’m off to bed. :)
Ummmm….I might single-handedly be responsible for many of those Utah visitor links. LOL
Oh, gotta run…looks like your interview just finished downloading. Can’t wait to hear your voice!! Miss you Love.
XO~
Croatia!?!?! Have I ever told you about the “Croation” (wait, this can not be the correct spelling – but just go with it people! LOL) FedEx delivery guy at my old office that was obsessd with me & was insisting I go to Croatia and marry him? Oh my *freaky* goodness! Now everytime I hear about Croatia I get a twinge of panic! :D
There must be a bumper sticker somewhere that reads: “Utah – Scrapbooking Capital Of The World”
Cousin Jen can tell you all about Croatia – looks beautiful! I hear ya on the stick-to-itiveness – just no good at it!
I’m going to listen to that radio interview. I just need to get myself in a mental state where I am comfortable with my manlyhood knowning I am going to listen to a digital scrapbook radio interview. *shakes head*
I know a few who travel to Croatia a lot. I have a 10 year rule…meaning I prefer not to travel to countries that have had a civil war in the past 10 years. That rule has been put in place since I saw Hotel Rwanda. I’m sure it’s safe there.
Also, why would you ever pay to upgrade to Vista?! The ONLY reason is because you like ‘new technology’ stuff. I know you too well, don’t try to tell me there is any other reason. $150 goes a long way for an IPhone. Oh, we forgot about that didn’t we? :)
Oh aren’t those actions just fab? I looove your interview! I think you are still a top scrapper S!!!
Hi from Connecticut! :) And I do believe all the UT visits are because there are an unusually high number of scrapbookers there! I have heard such great things about those actions, I may need to get them sometime soon!
Scrapbook-Bytes ~ LaWanna DesJardin Designer Chat tonight @ 9:00pm ET! 4-11-07
That is an email I just received. Seriously, I’m going to go and buy some Brute Cologne and do some bicep curls.
Well now I am just going to have to zip on over to DiscTalkRadio and listen to your interview. I had no idea. I must be living under a rock or something. Good for you!
Croatia is pretty-we are going for a week the begining of Aug-of course it’s only a bit of a drive for us :) I will send you a post card if you send me your address. Or I can hope to take some decent pictures and just post them to my blog when we return :)
Delurking to wave to you from Cape Town, South Africa. Love your blog.
Okay..I still haven’t had a chance to listen to that interview..I will have to when I get home from my retreat:) Can’t wait. Ahhh..I have been meaning to workout too…went on a 3 hour mile hike in Yosemite the other day.that will last me for awhile:) LOL
Hi! I’m another lurker. I just love your blog: the beautiful quotes, layouts & pictures. I’m from San Jose California. A lot of fun if you want the full metropolitan experience & incredible weather. But no where near as exciting as Europe. :o)
I was living in (continental)Croatia almost 20 years.I was visiting Montenegro(Sveti Stefan,Kotor,Bar,Budva) and Greece(Rodhes,Kos,Korfu,Lindos…)I prefer Greece!Rhodes – is best vacation in my life!The war in Croatia is finsh before 15 years.If you want to go in Croatia -recommend -Split,Dubrovnik,Pula,Rovinj and some islands Hvar,Rab,Krk.
‘Do they really dress like this there?!’No,this is for tourist!
