La Pájaro: Puts the Bird in Birdie

The real question is: What WON'T I eat?!

In the course of uploading a new cam pic for the blog, I accidentally clicked on the "Show Blog Stats" button. I don't think I've ever clicked that crazy link for this site. I regularly check my stats at Beauty Dish, as I want to be sure I am meeting the Google needs of Avon customers and reps alike. But this site is my secret place, my comfortable blanket with the frayed edge, the place my hommies roost, ya know? Doesn't seem to matter how people find me here, as long as they say Hey when they do!

So imagine my surprised to find that two of the Google searches that brought sure-to-be-disappointed souls this way were:

"the size of Jaworski's big arms"

and

"What will Birdie eat?"

Um. Do my arms look that fat? Guess it's all the stuff I eat!!

She's baaaaaaaaack!

After suffering some complications after minor surgery to remove a big, fat dermoid ovarian cyst, I'm back! You can expect me to ease my way back into blogging over the next week, slowly but surely. Thanks for your patience and all the kind emails and phone calls! It will take me the week (or two) to return emails/calls in kind.

Campaign 2007! Get Out and Vote!

Well, stay in and vote...

I had a difficult time deciding on the ten finalists in the tag line competition! I pasted them into one document where I couldn't see the contributor and made my final list. A special Honorable Mention goes to Meg for her marvelous Mark Twain quote:

She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.

It's much too long for a tag line, and I wanted something original, so I had to eliminate it from the contest, but it's so damn perfect! I will use this on the back of special Calling Cards I'm printing for my blog. Thanks, Meg!

You may vote for  your three favorite selections. The poll automatically ends at 7:14 am Saturday morning. Winner takes all!

Frozen Bird?

Is anyone having troubles with my site freezing your browser? Matt has reported problems with La Pajaro and Safari. I'm on Safari, too, but haven't had any screen freezes. Please let me know! I'm worried it's the art widget!! Say it ain't so!

9 is over the flu, I am not, 11 is now 12, and I am in bed, writing, writing.

Ace of Spades

I have over 800 backlogged emails to wade through. I have a hundred telephone calls to make. I have a hundred thousand messes to clean. So go away! Let me work! Go visit a few of my friends while I rebuild this sorry house of cards:

Bonnie's Year in Review, complete with bunnies.

Rick paints a profile of madman and painter Joachim Probst.

Go give Jonah some love. He's wrestling with those damn demons, just like me.

Meg gets a sexy haircut!

Mike hitchhikes cross-country.

Matt waxes poetic.

Jack gets published!

Oh good. Now I can retire.

My blog is worth $6,774.48.
How much is your blog worth?

Oh, Snap!

I added yet another widget....

The Snap widget allows you to see little pop-up windows into the links I have posted here and there. For example, scroll down the list of mis amigos. If you place the curser over Rick, see what happens!
