I apologize for my blogging absence. For the last months I have been living a life of chaos.

Rebutting the rebuttal
Miss Bimbo is an online virtual fashion game. It was developed by Blouzar Ltd., London and the subject of a great deal of controversy last year.
If you recall I wrote a blog post (Boycott Miss Bimbo) back in March of 2008 stating that I hoped they closed the website down. I wasn’t the only one. The Women’s Forum Australia condemned the MissBimbo game, calling for the site to be shut down. (Controversial website.)

You may have noticed my absence. I apologize for not blogging. Things have been more than hectic and I just haven’t had the time to update things here. It is nice to see that some of you are still with me and welcome to my knew readers.
Last week my husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. It’s so hard to believe that many years have gone by.
We spent the afternoon at “Presqu’ile Provincial Park.” Presqu’ile Provincial Park is located in the town of Brighton.

Last week was the anniversary of my father’s death. My dad passed away 21 years ago.
Sometimes it all feels like a weird dream. The time spent with him in the hospital has a permanent home in my memory. It is like looking an old photograph.

Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays.
I remember as a child how excited I got when Easter came around. I loved decorating eggs and the big Easter egg hunt Easter morning.

I realized today that I have a lot of “how to posts” on this blog regarding Blogger, but very little tutorials for Wordpress.
I was “twittering” last night and a fellow Twitter asked “how to add an image to her sidebar in Wordpress.”
Many Wordpress users use Widgets to customize their side bar. I don’t use widgets. Instead this is how I add an image to my sidebar.

Do you have what it takes to change the world?
