Sometimes that path ahead is just too big to manage, even if there is a light at the end of it!!.

I set out to do five things with my blog site today. I half-accomplished one of them.


1) I wanted to figure out how to change my avatar. (no luck!)
2) I wanted to add a new box to my sidebar and incorporate a "saying of the day" in it from a site called "ThinkExist.com" (I had it working for a day or two a couple weeks ago, then something somewhere got screwed up, so I removed the code and it went back on my "someday" list). (no luck!)
3) I wanted to include a random "bumper sticker philosophy" bar that changes each time a page is opened. (no luck!)
4) I wanted to include a site counter like on "Decandent Tranquility's" site, that shows how many visitors from which country are/have visited the site, with a cool map that surfaces when your mouse drifts over the bar. (I got a page counter to work, but not like that). (half luck!)
5) I wanted to include a blog-clicker referral bar that gets more traffic to your site the more people click on it, like I found on "Drama Princesses" site a few weeks ago. (no luck!)

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the HTML code on my site. I spent some time reading various help pages and sites. I registered myself on two sites, which probably means I'm in line for some adware along the way.

I petted my cat and listened to music, and downloaded a cool screensaver of circuses and masks.

So, today, I didn't get to accomplish my tasks. But I got a lot done.

Instead, for your amazement, here are a few sidewalk chalk drawings that will blow you away....the artist is interacting with his own work, and the photographer's angle is part of the set-up. Cool stuff. And, of course, I've slipped in another couple of my fractals {grin} BTW, what does ROTF stand for in comments? I've finally figured out LMAO. I figure TF stands for "The F***", but RO????
