It's time to look back at February. First, how are my resolutions holding up?
- Be 17% nicer.
- Be 22% tougher when it comes to standing up for myself.
- Continue making progress on anxiety issues.
- Work towards better health.
- Support Joe as he supports me.
- Consistent writing/blogging.
Word for 2009: FOCUS
- Once again, being sick hurt my ability to focus but I soldiered on and did alright. It was a conscious effort for sure and there's definitely room for improvement.
As for the blog, there's been a few changes. Starting today, I plan to change the banner on the first of each month. Also, I finally managed to buy my domain name, showmyface.com, a week or so ago. I'm still trying to figure out how to get showmyface.com to work with blogger (in addition to http://www.showmyface.com/, which is working). If anyone has an ideas on making the "naked domain" work, please drop me a line. I hate that I totally know how to do this "for real" but since Blogger has control I can't make it work.
Interesting search terms? Still many references to cat scurvy, fat ass soup and angry neighbor. In addition, I was amused by:
- what fits my face
- apologizing protects face
- how should someone react if a sister-in-law called my family sick and crazy
- fur pile groupies
- mmmm daniel craig
- reasons to skip out on family vacation
Sorry, it's hard to pick a favorite from that list. In fact, maybe I should turn a few of those into future posts when I'm hard-up for ideas.
So here's to March. And Spring. And many new bloggy adventures with all youse guys.

Good luck on the flight home tonight. It will be alright.
I love the new banner and all your new stuff on the blog. Clearly, I need to get my shit together... :)
Sorry I can't help you on the technical blogger stuff - I can barely get blogger to do the regular stuff.
And, good work on those resolutions.
"Fur pile groupies" - I love it!
My favorite visitor this past week got to me by searching Google Korea for "What make are good teachers?"
(I personally think good teachers come in all sorts of makes - Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW,... - but definitely not GM these days.)
One more thought: Enjoy your vay-cay! Hey, BTW, I'm giving away an actual PRIZE for Sx3 today...come play along!
Don't you just hate being sick? Totally ruins any efforts of working out and eating right. Blah. Hope you're feeling better now. I still gotta get me one of those wii fits.
Pamdog - yay for being first! And yay for visiting. Vacation has totally amused me. Return trip weather? Not so much.
Snarky - yes, get thee in gear. ;) I wanna know what you thought of the actual Oscar wins!
My Teacher Hat - no, definitely not the GM teachers recently. Thanks for stopping by. I'll come visit you soon but it may not be until I return home.
Melissa - I'll try to make it over there before we bail. I'm packed and antsy to get to the airpot even though it's ridiculously early.
Yaya - WiiFit is so much fun. Being sick, not so much.
Hope your travel home is safe! Here's to March!!
Happy March! Have a safe trip home.
Hi Cate,
I think you're doing well with your "blog consistently" resolution. I don't post often (I'm new to the Web 2.0 world, and still at the bottom of the learning curve!), but I have you in my Reader, and I see updates just about everyday. I can't keep up with that, but I'm going to try to write on my blog at least once a week. :)
I'm sorry I missed Six Word Saturday (all-day moving adventure!)--looking forward to it next weekend!
The new banner looks great! I love all the smilie faces and the flowers are just extra happy.
ooooh.. I love the new header! Cate you make me want to be a better person..
not really, but one of these days when I get my shit together, I'm gonna use YOU as my example! :)
Sounds like you're doing really well on the resolutions.
I'm sorry you've got a mean sister-in-law. I wish we could sit around and have hot cocoa & chocolate chip cookies. If it's any consolation, every family has a mean ___-in-law (fill in the blank). Mine is a mother-in-law. She's the MIL from hell incarnate. Just remember we can't control others, just ourselves. That's all we're accountable for in God's eyes.
I always enjoy your blog. Have a happy day! :o) ♥ ∞
The new banner is so springy! It must have been the Florida. :) Hope the flight home is/was uneventful.
I do love your google things - they are always so funny. A testament to your posts, of course.
I wish I could help! I'm not sure what to do. Good luck on your new goals!
Excellent month in review - have a safe, anxiety-free, trip home.
Angie - in like a lion, out like a lamb, right? Yay March!
Juliet - I still owe you questions. You'll have them tonight.
Michael - I've blogged each day but not the night before at a set time like I had been. Good luck with your blogging!
Tiffany - that's what I was going for. Happy!!!
Kimber - yeah, nobody has ever accused me of having anything together. Being an example is scary!
Sparky - my SILs aren't too bad. And they're many miles away which is awesomeness. But MILs? Yeah, mine's a piece of work as well.
Ryan - Florida is a good influence on banner design.
Blonde Duck - thanks!
Blognut - safe and anxiety-free enough. Also, they threatened to divert us to Pittsburgh. Ugh, really? No thanks!
