>I kind of just gave up last month, now it is December and I have renewed my commitment to post every day. Even if its a short post, like this is a short post. I also rejoined Twitter. I don’t have a widget yet but if you search for Bella Foxx you’ll find me. In other news Em has been in Florida since last Thursday and it is driving me crazy! And the kids are losing their minds! But she comes home tomorrow and has been keeping track of us on Facebook.

>today, just cleaning. Yesterday was a total bust, Tigger bailed on me going to the city. He insisted all day that he was too sick to go. Bah!
The fight is still going on. I keep saying he just didn’t want to go with me ’cause I said we weren’t going to do any shopping. He insists that he would have been perfectly happy just taking pictures.
This morning Gwen and I were talking about blogs, she hasn’t done much on her’s lately, she wants me to help her, by telling her what she should write about! I can’t do that, its her blog. Anyway, then Tigger decided he wanted to make his own blog, Stitch suggested the title Ramblings of a nutcase which of course he liked and is using. Then after saying he probably wouldn’t post anything beyond the first post, he has posted 3 of his stories. Gwen of course went on her blog The continuing journey of the Voyager Princess to tell everyone about it. Then I posted my own little comment.
If you have a moment, you should really check them out.
Today is my Blogoversary and as promised, there is cake.
I started blogging 3 years ago today. I can’t really say I started this blog 3 years ago since it had a different name and sign in and everything. After a while things got too complicated so I started a new blog. Then I tried to make my blog 3 columns and ended up not being able to post new entries. So I started this blog and discovered that I could import my posts from the other blogs. So I did that and this blog has all my posts from the very beginning.
I also decided that I needed a separate blog for my book reviews (since people were sending me books for review, except I haven’t done any in a while, I am getting back to it though, now that November is almost gone) and for my crafts, except I haven’t done any in a while. Something else to get back to.
Anyway, its been a fun ride and a learning experience and I couldn’t have done it without you. So thanks to all my readers, there will be more fun to come, I have lots more to say!
2 days until my blogoversary. I was going to have a contest and giveaway, but I lost track of time, November has never been a good month for me so I didn’t do anything. I might be able to have cake though, …
On another subject, I was thinking how I still had the same picture on Facebook, so I changed it to this picture. I kind of got this by accident, I just held up my cell phone and snapped it. The angle and composition turned out really nice, I like it. After putting it in my Facebook profile and Twitter, I decided it was time to change the picture on my blog too. So here it is, don’t know how long it will stay.
You can see my new lipstick that I tried to get a picture of before.
>Friday was the first game of the ALCS and I missed part of it because I had to go up to get new shoes. I needed to wear shoes Saturday to the city and all my shoes hurt my feet. Em said I probably needed bigger shoes, which doesn’t make sense to me. Target didn’t have any that I liked so I went to DSW and found pair of Skechers. I bought them in a size larger, mainly because I couldn’t remember the size I already had. They are called D’lites and are black and pick and are lightweight.
Em had a nail appointment, but she was worried about the rain. We went anyway, the weather report said the rain would come later, so we went down after having breakfast at Panera. I had remembered to charge everything so I had my book and my music. The little dog Angela at the nail salon was a wee bit upset I was sitting on her couch. She kept coming up to me and looking at me.
Then we had lunch at the diner and did some shopping. We bought some stuff at Express. In all a good day, and we got home before the rain and in time to watch the Yankee game. And my shoes did not hurt my feet.
Now if you want to know about the Yankee game, check out my new blog The Foxx Loves the Yankees.
>Internet connection was acting up all evening. I wanted to check out the MLB blogs. Thinking about starting one there so I can go on and on about the Yankees. But no time now!
There were more things I wanted to do on Facebook and I kept getting an error message. Other sites I wanted to check in on and not happening. So now I am just popping in here to say “HI!” Then hitting the sack. Don’t want a repeat of this morning tomorrow morning. I woke up this morning when Stitch sent me his text about getting up, which made me late.
So far, the Phillies are ahead of the Dodgers. Hope they keep it up.
>We’ve been working hard for the past few months with our friends at RightRides on a new generation of Hollaback. We want to create an online map where women can “Hollaback!” directly from their cell phones. Quick, 140 character stories can be submitted through three easy portals: a) text it, b) tweet it, and c) submit it through a “Hollaback” mobile phone app. Once we launch in New York City, we want to take it worldwide.
What do you think of our idea? We need your help. Click here to tell us: http://bit.ly/14Egc2 and vote for our idea to make it happen.
Once you are done with that, spread the word to your networks. Cut and paste this to your facebook, twitter, Myspace, and LinkedIn pages: Vote for Hollaback 2.0 http://bit.ly/14Egc2 then repost to end street harassment!
>So here I am on Sunday night, when I really should be sleeping, trying to watch NCIS. I was at the concert on Tuesday so I missed the season opener and it is not playing on my computer. I am a little bit upset. If I have to buy the episode from iTunes I will not be happy.
I left all my buds on Facebook so I could watch it, well, O.K. I actually left them to come blog, I will give it one more try then if it doesn’t work, just go to bed.
>I posted about the sidewalks near my office and someone asked, “If that is NY, where are all the people?” Something that I never thought about, but where I work, there is not a lot of foot traffic. Not like Time Square or Madison Avenue or even inside Grand Central Terminal or here!
This is the Farmer’s Market at Union Square. As you can see, it is very crowded. For good reason too, there is a ton of stuff to buy. Produce, flours, whole grain bread (including Spelt rolls!) and some interesting things which I can’t really describe and couldn’t take a picture of cause Em wouldn’t stop walking so I could. Well I could stop, she would wait for me but I am usually so busy trying to just keep up with her I don’t think of it.
We got a late start, we missed the train, so we didn’t get to the street fair. We went to SoHo to Marie Tash and had reservations at The Russian Tea Room and walked through Central Park. I will have to post the details tomorrow since it is very late now.
>When I have been thinking about a post all day, then I get here and its gone. The only thing I can think of is my new camera and the pictures of my new earrings, but there was more, I just know it.
I am finally caught up on all my review books. I think I am taking a break from them and reading my true crime and challenge books. For details, you can check out my book blog here.
