Hey Folks, 

to blogspot. I have caved to peer pressure. Actually there wasn't any pressure I just happened to check out other servers after her and her switched theirs and well I was persuaded. So visit me here and don't forget to switch the address on your readers and list.

Posting at www.renderingrisch.wordpress.com

was too temperamental so it had too go. I don't do well with high maintenance. So I thought I'd try this one out. However, it doesn't want to post my poll so it's not showing signs of a lasting relationship.

Should it stay or go?

I will be taking polls/surveys every month about my readers (you). Feel free to voice your opinion or give your vote. To participate just click the box to the right of my most recent post. Its located right beneath the "subscribe" button.

At least not a blog snob. With all the recent updating on my blog I lost a few widgets. My "people I spy on" list was one of them. So if you used to be linked through my site or if you want to be linked through my site just let me know! I have a TERRIBLE memory and I am trying my best to recover my list. Also I would love to connect you to my site if you have a blog of your own and have never been on my list. Just let me know your out there. You can email me, my email is listed under Me.As.Risch or you can just comment under this post.

For the next few weeks I will resign myself to generic photos and such due to my camera's deterioration. There have been many ideas I've wanted to share since my last post but I insisted on waiting for my camera to revive itself. After a few "laying on hands" attempts I have finally realized my camera is dying. However, I refuse to let my blog die along with my camera. This shall be no Shakespearian situation with that said the blog must go on.

My apologies for the boring images to follow.

There was an "incident" with my template formatting so until it can be amended I will be using this basic layout. Boring but it does the job.

I'm suffering blogger's block. I have a so much to say in my head but can't seem to get any down in a blog. I suppose I could use some help (in so many ways).

I'm not sure that I've ever given credit where credit is due? Tepid Coffee and Stale Muffins is my buddy and he often comes to the rescue when I'm in need of computer guidance (which is often).

Do you?

• enjoy sarcasm
• find simple explanations of computer stuff helpful
• think the male perspective on parenting is interesting
• need more witty conversation in your daily routine

Then you need to check out Tepid Coffee and Stale Muffins it's addictive. Shoot I'm even a subscriber!

RenderingRisch is still under construction so hang with me. I will eventually get all the kinks worked out, till then just grin and bear it.

I lost some of my fellow blogger links in the midst of all this, so if you were one please let me know or if you want to be added let me know.

Thanks
RR

So my dear friend who just started blogging happens to have a husband. One of the most sarcastic peeps I know (probably why I appreciate him). Go check this skipper out HERE! Seriously Micah, with a blog name like that your just opening yourself up for comments! I'm presently biting my tongue and refraining my fingers from typing...

So one of my dearest friends finally started blogging. I knew she would succumb eventually and she did. Go check her out HERE! Now!!! I mean it!!!

I have "intended" to close my account on another web space for the last year now, however something always deters me (new old friend, noisiness, boredom, etc.). Well not anymore. As of tomorrow my other space on the www will be gone. This will be the only place you can find me jibber-jabbering. I don't know why I chose tomorrow? Perhaps, it the allure of having something to look forward to or the procrastinator in me. Either way it's done! Myspace has been one of those addictions due to boredom for far too long. How about you? What things do you do when your bored that annoy you? huh huh...

RenderingRisch turns 1 this month. Technically, my blog turned 1 on the 2nd but whose counting? wait I am.

So this may be the biggest communicative commitment I have ever made and kept. For being a Communication person I really suck at staying in constant contact with people. I try but not well. I struggle to stay in contact with myself. Hence my dusty journal placed beneath 3 books on my night stand.

I'm a "really bad memory gal" so if I don't verbally regurgitate I forget. Ask some of my dear friends who often experience the random "krystin call" which consist of random thoughts from through out my day. My poor friends.

Thus to have managed to quasi maintain a blog for 1 year is huge! This is my journal (explains the randomness, doesn't it?). So there you have it! I'm not expecting to keep this up for another year. nor am I making this some kind of resolution. I am merely stating the obvious and giving myself a pat on the back for actually blogging for a year. perhaps I will do the same thing next year.

So my blogging has been sporadic at best lately. Well there's reason for that and it's not my laziness. I usually blog from my PC (yes I said pc). I am a mac owner but I find myself blog'n from the PC more than the mac (yikes). Anywhoo, my PC is technically challenged as of late and so is its owner, which makes for a really bad combo.

So I've been unable to "connect" to the WWW for about 2 weeks now. grrrr. Then came Brandon. I begged or asked (depends on how you interpret it) and in the kindness of his sarcastic heart he "hooked me up".

I am slowly becoming firefox friendly now and I have a connection that works (joy). So my blogs are backlogged and I will be overloading you with blogger-ness for the next couple weeks. You've been warned.
And as for my tech hero well my gratitude really goes to his wife b/c she waited and waited around with a very tired 1 yr old while he worked his technical genius. But today I'm really grateful for the connection so thanks Brandon!

So I was commenting on a buddies page, as is appropriate to do on ocassion. When of course it asked for me to verify my comment as to insure I am not a robot. This is what I was asked to re-type:



SERIOUSLY???!!!
So I don't claim to be brilliant but I'm pretty sure this is unfair. So I made what I thought was the appropriate reply only to be asked to do it all over again b/c I was too stupid to get it right the first time.

Ego = Crushed

I appreciate communication in all shapes and sizes and after much deliberation I have chosen to blog. I'm not one for trends but I am one for experimentation when it pertains to various forms of communication. I'm not much for writing unless it's required and even then I hate it and I hate being graded. However, I do enjoy sharing and the opinions of others, so I thought I'd give blogging a chance.
I realize I often lack insightful commentary (I find I repeat brillance from other people) and original thought is not my forte. "So what does that leave?". Well I suppose this blog will contain simple commentary and plagarism (okay I may have original thoughts now and again). You are welcomed to check the site for updates on the family and the random queries pertaining to anything and everything.

Ultimately, I would like to end my relationship with another site that begins w/ an M and ends in a SPACE. I'm thinking I'm not alone.
