OK, I like this stuff

Scoop it!! I had no idea what this was and I love it. It's kind of like a Pinterest but with a flare. What I found interesting was how easy it is to "scoop it" and publish it in mere seconds. No need to make sites complicated if you want people to simply enjoy using it. Sometimes I can imagine people creating sites and while trying to come off as very smart, they create so many problems for the user, it becomes a chore that users will try a few times and delete it. Yes techies, we mere mortals have no patience for over the top programs that causes more grief than finding a fly in our soup. Make it simple and interesting and you've got a winner.

This was suppose to be fun but it's not. Why do they make this so complicated. I use Wordpress and it's very user friendly. This blog site, not so much. I am almost struggling through the last weeks of this assignment (I call it this because it's really a job that I have to finish and feel obligated to do well) I am trying to catch up after being off for the last 6 weeks on sick leave and maybe I am out of the loop. This weather is probably not helping my mood today so it is what it is. No one can ever say I don't speak my mind, because I do. I am going to add this photo of a beautiful sunrise over Varadero to help calm myself..and breathe....

Winter blahs

what a winter...Surgery with 6 weeks recoup and the worst wintry temperature ever. Cold, ice, snow and no signs of ending. I guess you could call me a typical maritime girl but enough is enough. I took myself down south about a week ago for little sun and relaxation. It felt so good to put on my sandals and sundress. I loaded up on vitamin D and also had a few cold drinks to make all the wintry thoughts go away even if it was just for a little while.
 Here I am back home fighting to get to work through the slush and snow. Oh, please Mother Nature, we've had enough, whatever we did wrong, we apologize. Bring on the sun and the heat, I'm ready for it.
