It is a lovely day here. The sun is shining brightly and the temp right now is 52 degrees to get up to mid 70s today. It doesn’t get much better than that. I have already been out today in the sunshine to the pharmacy. Do not go to Walgreens when they have Russell Stover dark chocolate marshmallow covered pumpkins on sale for 29cents, limit 6. I can’t resist those even though I know I shouldn’t and then I happened to purchase something that gave me a $5 store credit. Guess what, I went back and spent that 5 bucks on some more marshmallow pumpkins and a bag of Reese’s peanut butter cups. You may all come trick or treating as I have a big bowl of candy now, all hid away except for 1 marshmallow pumpkin covered in dark chocolate. Ramblin’ I will trade you one of those for one of the cutie pies.
My niece is on vacation this week and she is coming over for lunch and to watch Y&R with me today. Just sandwiches, so you all are probably not interested in that. I asked my daughter to come over too but she doesn’t like Y&R as she is hooked on Days. Ham and cheese sandwich anyone???
I have been working on my recipe space on word press and another one that I had transferred over. I didn’t think I would ever say this but there are actually some features that I like at word press. If you can figure out how to get over the blahness (made up word) you can fix it up where it is not half bad. I tried and tried but I could not get live writer to accept either one of them. However, it is not too bad as it is easy enough to make the post from your blog and thanks to Pen and Jude I am learning a few things. It is also fairly easy to insert a pic. One thing I do like is it is easy to go back to an old post and insert a pic in it.
http://bethmarie8457.wordpress.com/ is my other word press blog.
Well, enough jabbering on for today. I have sandwiches to make.
Beth
My sweet tooth didn't know about those goodies and prices at Walgreens. I've been hooked on plain old marshmallows lately. Enjoy your lunch and Y&R with your niece. Nice weather here too.
ReplyDeleteAnything dark chocolate is a weakness of mine so I try to avoid those sections.
ReplyDeleteI'm with your daughter, I too watch Days as do my daughter Darla and a sister.
I haven't done the word press thing yet but did remove my pictures from spaces, so it won't be long now I guess.
Ham and cheese?? How did you know I was munching on grilled ham and cheese as I was reading this? Glorious day here, as well. As soon as I finish lunch I'm heading out the door to shoot a few dozen frames.
ReplyDeleteBTW; there are things I like about WP, as well. I'm thinking about using one page for writing about historical sites in Virginia, another for photography and a third for things that Frankie could probably use to have me committed to a mental hospital. We shall see......
I did the WordPress migration thing with the more recent posts that I still had left on Spaces just to test it out. http://gerrya2u.wordpress.com I think WordPress is good in general, but not as good for more social blogging because of no Followers/ Friends gadget. Blogger is more customizable without having to pay for upgrades. A lot more people use Blogger, but more professional sites use WordPress. They both have their place and I think it's good they're not clones of each other.
ReplyDeleteI use both places and have used Wordpress a long time. I like some of the stuff at blogger better though. Who would have thought we would have to transfer so many blogs..I guess we wouldn't have started so many.Lol..As for that candy..never did get the hang of the dark chocolate but I do love those peanut butter cups etc so save me one. Going to bookmark the other blog..thanks for the addy to it. Take care and ENJOY this lovely break in the weather it is great!! : )
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the soaps in many years. Too much drama and life is not like that heh. I love ham sandwiches! I'll bring the miracle whip and ah head of lettuce. Sorry no tomaders. Ok enough now I gotta get back outside an work. It's hot out there! I am wondering where you hid the candy!
ReplyDeleteDid you have chocolate marshmallow pumpkins for dessert? Your lunch sounds very much like mine.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why chocolate is SO tempting? I can turn down just about any candy except chocolate! So I won't buy chocolate for my trick-or-treaters,cuz I'd make myself sick!
ReplyDeleteSure, I see how it is, I go over to Africa but I can't avoid the temptations of chocolatey goodness...even if it's just here on your blog making me hungry! We won't be home until the first of November so maybe I won't be able to eat anything too calorie filled this season. Bless you my friend, I've sure thought of you!
ReplyDeletehi beth,
ReplyDeleteOh I will be glad when we are all finally settled - I dont know whether to downland what is left of my space to wordpress, so I have it there if I want to refer to it. I have so many photo albums on live spaces and I dont want to lose those. going to pop over to your word press now to have a look. have a good weekend, hugs - nita
Ohh I just love the reeses peanut butter cups. For a very short period after grocery shopping I would buy this little bag of bite size brownies. Well I had to quit that. I would eat the whole bag on the way home and have such a sugar and chocolate high for hours. Each time I would say don't do that again. Oh I can't believe how spread out everyone is getting. but with word press it isn't a problem for me to get e-mail updates for people I want to stay connected with there. will have to go have a look at you new place there. Hugs Carrie
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie...I cant believe I found you. I cant believe I can find anyone. Gosh what a hard time I've had.Your place here is gorgeous.This thing is really hard to fiquire out. Anyway just want to say hello..and take care bye for now.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, To use live writer with word press, you need to download the lastest version. I think I read somewhere it's called live writer 11?, but that could be wrong. Either way, you need the latest version to be compatiable with with press. I have no idea what those yummy treats are that you're enjoying, but I'd sure love to taste some. We had a huge downpour last night, some areas are flooding, and we're in for a wet weekend and into the first fews days of next week. Hey see our Aussie dollar against the green back. Wow! It went over the 0.99cent mark last night. Apparently, everything over there is way more cheaper than here, and with the good dollar value, people are travelling there and buying up big time, also websites are doing very well too with sales. If I had enough money I'd fly over in a blink to visit you. Well off to do some more space hopping. Have a great weekend! With love and care from Kerrie. xOx
ReplyDeleteNow I need some dark chocolate. :-) Sounds like your weather is similar to what we've been having...just lovely fall weather.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late commenting but I had a 'procedure' at the hospital and it took up a chunk of my day. Was good new tho!
ReplyDeleteThere is a brand new Walgreen's around the corner from me so guess where I'll be going?
Hope you had a fun time with your niece but I'm sure you did. LOVE ham and cheese sandwiches!!!!
Have a Great weekend Beth and take care.
Bob
