» Out of Energy & Inspiration Tonight!

I have tried to write a note here three times tonight but I am just not satisfied with anything that I have done.
I did not do anything special today to tell you about. It was a six-parcel eBay day, that is a fair day considering I have been doing too much editing of [...]

» Lost (and Found) and Back Again

Wow, new look, more learning…
I just spent several minutes trying to find this page where I can write, manage, etc. my blogs.  I finally found myself by entering Susan’s Squidoo Diary and clicking on a comment I had already left there. Is there not an easier way to find oneself from the main page of Squidtop?

» The eBay Song

In response to popular requests, I have jazzed up my lens, Treasures By Brenda. Now it not only includes MORE pictures but it also includes a link to a humurous YouTube Video of Weird Al Yankovic’s eBay Song. Naturally, around my house people found it particularly funny.
