I have been having problems with this blog, hence the almost 2 week hiatus. I have been having so much trouble logging in!
I do most of my blogging at work. Yes, I know, I should actually be working instead of blogging but I take these moments to break from the grind and escape. I actually need it more than I think but I can never come up with something witty and creative to write. It isn't like a whole slew of people are waiting on my every word as it comes across the internet as if it is a royal proclamation. But as I said in the beginning, even if I am the only one who reads this, so be it.
So my frustration started last week. For some reason when I went to log on, Blogger immediately went into a beta version and told me to go through my Gmail. Well, even though I have a Gmail account, I don't use it nor did I put it down under the registration for this. So, a friend suggested I may have a cookies problem. Not a bad problem to have when you are talking about soft chocolate chip cookies but can be a problem when they are computer cookies. (Check your TCP/IP address? Yes Ollie. Enable cookies? Yes, Ollie. Want this dog? No, Ollie - Family Guy). Sorry, tangent...I deleted my cookies and temporary internet files. Still can't get on!
After the weekend had gone by I decided to try again. The Blogger finally fixed whatever problem they had and I was able to log on in either Gmail or user name. So, I tried the username part and it said, my password was wrong. Funny, I know my passwords and what goes where. So I decided to have my password emailed to me...nothing. After another week of frustration I decided I really want to post something. So I played around today and it said my username was wrong. What the heck?!?! My username is on the stupid blog, how can it be wrong?!?!?! So I decided to log on with Josh's username. Logged right onto it, no problem.
I figured the best approach to this would be to just take a deep breath and reanalyze the situation. After a few moments, I realized that I actually have a different username for this account and I logged right on.
The moral of this story is that it is sometimes necessary to take step back and look at a situation from another angle and realize how much of an idiot you really are.

Next time it doesn't work, KICK IT! :-)
Uh, just so you know...I check this almost daily waiting for your next blog.
The Family Guy reference was gut-busting. I swear as you said cookies, I could HEAR that clip playing in my head, and a split-second later I'm reading it from you.
Much love.
Just so you know, I subscribe to your blog feed via Bloglines. So I can know exactly when you post (and don't have to stalk--uhhh, check--here every day).
