Well, I keep saying that I'm going to get back into the blogging habit, but I just haven't gotten back into the swing of things. Mostly it's because I either haven't had the time or I haven't had the inspiration. As of 2 weeks ago, I no longer have "no time" as an excuse. Like so many other victims of the current sluggish US economy, I got laid off from my job. They told me the "position has been eliminated due to financial reasons."
Major bummer! I really liked that job too. The Winebow website was my baby for nearly 5 years, and I fear what will happen to my creation now. Not much I can do about it though, so it's time to move on. If you know anyone who wants to hire a web designer - I'm available. I'll be posting my resume shortly.
I'm working on my website - Home of Cyber Kat and a couple of other projects. I started put up some photo albums thanks to a nice little application called Photostack. You can find them here.
I'd like to thank all of the people who have been reading through my archives and took the time to leave a comment. I have received the most comments about the Big Red Spider story. Apparantly a lot of you have had encounters with these creatures. Sorry, I don't know what kind of spider it was, and since I can't even stand looking at pictures of spiders, (I even closed my eyes during the spider scenes in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!) so I haven't done any research on it.
A reader from Texas wrote that it might be a spiny orb weaver. Could be, but I couldn't work up the courage to visit the link she so kindly provided.
That's all for now, but hopefully, I'll be back with more.
