I got a code to enter here for my badge and it's not working so I hope they show us how in the next Bloggiesta challenge.

This was the first challenge I have ever taken part in as a blogger so I am not so worried about the next one and will be more prepared next time and hopefully do better.
Another problem-I am in SA and could not really work out what time 8 am Sunday was for me actually ok excuses excuses!!!

  4. Hey Hon..

    That's a hell of a lot.. I just went by the original list - as I was on top of a lot of things on my blog..

    But needed a regime to get me to finish up some things - which I did..

    I am doing a blog crawl to catch up on tip and tricks - you never know when they will come in handy..

  8. Hi Yvette, I'm tired just reading the list! I would have so many unchecked things for quite some time! I am amazed at how much you get done and you are still able to enjoy reading!

    On #4 is that Sybil the original book from way back when? I remember in Junior High my best friend and I were at the library and they wouldn't allow him to check out that book! Can you imagine! Now imagine what all kids can read today (like on the internet).

    I read Sybil and Fatal Vision and highly recommend them.

    I'm glad you put some links in that post...I'm going to check out some of them!

    Have a great day!
