Newbie Wednesday


Do you remember when you where a newbie? A newcomer to an on line Internet activity?
Like blogging or RMS or facebook or twitter?
So we all have been a newbie to something at one time or another. You all will be. I was once, as was everyone else.

Do you remember the first day that someone told you about Gollum? We all tried to figure out who this person was. Then we found out that she was an author of books.
And the pieces of the puzzle started to go together.

I love to learn from others and others experiences. We have a lot of experience here in blog land and so many talent people. Nothing makes me happier than feeding my sole with the chance to absorb new sites. I also hate being new at something, I want to be good at it, but I have very little patience for myself on the learning curve.
I am sure that I am not alone in this field of learning something new.

Stepping out of our comfort zone is challenging, it's something new, what will others think? I knew that is was time for me to move on from RMS and to finally address my fears and frustration of trying to blog.

Many nights I read, Design by Gollum, Tootsie Time, Between Naps on the Front Porch,
and all the gals that show up in my blog list. These are amazing gals that write beautiful blogs about themselves, home decorating,gardening, and recipes. I listen to their selection of music, toured their homes and got
to know some family members. I Became friends with some that called and I can't stress enough that blog family is like no other. It's made up of long distant friends, friends close and friends in other countries.

I stepped out of my shell and notice that others where learning and that they too made mistakes. This blogging is easy once you get the hang of it; but I am still going thu the learning phase. I would have crawled into a hole never coming out if I had not experienced the joy of blogging with others here in blog land. I got a new attitude with my re-found self-assurance when I began to leave comments and got answers back. I was on a roll and so excited. Do you remember?

So Today it is Newbie Wednesday! Please find a new blog out there in blog land and promote a newbie on Wednesday. If you are a newbie please link up to Mr. Linky so we can welcome you to our land of blog land. If you are like me I came across a new

Should I or should I not trade hubby's corvette in............

I told Tootsie that I've been thinking about trading one of my husband's corvette's in, I think now is most definitely the time and most assuredly the right vehicle.

The older I get the more I think about what we should be doing with our life before
social security sets in ( if we have any by the time we retire) and before we decide
that we better take what's left of our four o one Kay (401K) before the government and wall street have something else in mind for our money. We have lost over half of
what we have worked for all these years. so...........

I'm tired of paying mortgage bills, utility bills, property taxes.
I want to live more simply, pack up and move into a travel trailer.

And I don't mind being called "trailer trash", but I want to get all of your
opinions.


I ask myself is this trashy enough?

I know some of you gals out there have really nice trailers and campers; we met a couple on the beach last year and this is similar to there trailer. They travel 8 months out of the year in the warmer climates. And in the spring and summer that visit all their family. What a wonderful life. But our problem is how do you leave your children and grandchildren. We see them at least once or twice a week?

Hubby doesn't want to give his 66 Corvette up so I think I will have to look for something a little more our style of budget.

My daughter just bought this for her home office and it's beautiful. It has everything you need to set up a home office.
