Somehow the google filter missed this one, but I'm almost happy it did:

If I only I weren't a woman, I could take advantage of this enticing offer....

the election is already driving me crazy!

There was a time that I longed for the days when I could escape the American election season, mostly because of the constant commercials. But, being in europe for this "event" is weird and carzy. Everyone here wants the inside scoop on what's going to happen. Apparently my NH-MA-NY-CA accent gives me special abilities to communicate with 50 million people about how they're going to vote! But, I understand, they have serious Bush fatigue (don't we all?) and the longing for change (no Obama plug, I swear) is palpable. Anyway, as my former roommates will attest to, I have an addiction. I have to see all the election night results come in live. Girl on the Rocks had to pry the remote out of my fingers and send me to bed during the 2004 elections. And do you know what the time difference is between here and Maryland? even worse, Washington ? Super Tuesday I went to bed at 9 so I could get up at 5:30 to see the California results come in.

Do they have rehab for this?

Instructions for my mom: how to post a blog and add pictures

In this post I am explaining to my mom, 5000 miles away, how to add pictures to her blog from her computer, or from flickr. Okay, first let's start a new post:

(we'll pretend like we can't see that I'm severely impaired when it comes to maintaining up to date posts)

next step, add some text (shown here), and a new picture.

To add the picture, click on the button to the right of "ABC".

A new dialogue box will appear.



If you choose to upload your pictures from the hard drive, choose the picture from your file directory, then hit "Upload images".


Wait for the files to upload (this can take a while with a slow connection, or large files).


click "done" and repeat, until you have all the text and pictures you want uploaded. You can move pictures by simply copying and pasting around the text (using the "Compose" window) . Then hit Publish Post.
OR, you can direct Blogger to upload pictures directly from flickr. I will show you how to do this next time (I'm tired of taking pictures of my screen and waiting for them to upload !)
