Pin itWriting last night’s post made me realize that I really do need a blogging calendar, not just for setting up a blogging schedule but for regulating my social media time.

Pin itI don’t know why I didn’t think of setting up alerts before. Doh! I used to get them all the time when I was blogging about my life as Queen of the Histolibrarianivists. Speaking of which, I’m not certain why I stopped getting those alerts. Hmmmm…. I liked receiving alerts for my library blog [...]

Pin itWow, I cannot believe I haven’t written a Weigh~In Wednesday post since 21 April. What’s even sadder is that I weigh about the same thing. At least I’m consistent, right? Nor have I gained, so that’s even better. I haz a Weigh~In Wednesday happy! Two days ago I downloaded the My Fitness Pal (MFP) [...]
