Oh, Fun…
My site was moved from one server to another a few days ago. However, no one noticed that some of my domains (including this one and the one I use for my MT installation) were still pointing at the old server for the past 2 days. My e-mail was going off in to [...]
Today’s Public Service Announcement…
If you are using MT with the default login information, please stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW and go change it. If your username to log in to MT is “Melody” and your password is the same as the one found in the MT installation instructions, do not do anything else before you change [...]
Happy Anniversary to … Well, Me!
I love having the “on this day” stuff on my sidebar, although I don’t always remember to do it. I actually read the links yesterday, and thanks to that, I discovered that it was the 2 year anniversary of the day that I launched Blogomania! Wow, 2 years. Hard to believe it’s been that long. [...]
Protected: My Surreal Life…
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Don’t Believe a Word She Says…
Warning: If you are way behind on Sex and the City, there is a spoiler of sorts in my post. (No finale episode spoilers in my post though.) I’ll warn you when I come to it, so you can read the rest of the post without reading that part. Also, no guarantee that my comments [...]
Life in a Spoiler Free World…
Tivo is wonderful because it is so easy to record a show and then watch it later whenever you want. There is a down side to that though – sometimes it is really hard to live in a spoiler free world.
I still have not watched the last two episodes of Sex and The City. [...]
All About Cake…
Found in today’s e-mail, from my Dad:
How come when you mix water and flour together you get glue…
and then you add eggs and sugar…
and you get cake?
Where did the glue go?

Welcome Back, Freak…
My little troll freak was back this morning. I’ve deleted his comments (again) and banned yet another IP for him. So if you suddenly can’t comment, please let me know. I guess you’ll have to use e-mail – Christine at this domain.com will get to me.
Bridal Update…
Done this weekend:
- The wedding cake is ordered from The Cake Lady.
- Kymberlie’s royple colored bridesmaid dress is ordered. Yes, royple – it’s royal blue and purple, or a very dark periwinkle which rocks. (It is this color, only it is a satin A-line skirt, not the sheer chiffon fabric shown.)
- I’ve picked [...]
Show Me Where I’m Going…
As much as I love MT, I’m annoyed by one of the new features of it. I hate that it hides the URL’s of the people that leave comments. When I surf, I use the status bar a lot – so I’m always mousing over names in other people’s comments to see if [...]
Missing the Point…
I just had to ban another IP from commenting on my site. That makes a grand total of 5 IPs banned for one weird random reason or another. This particular jackmonkey, “shagnastysolo”, decided to be a completely ignorant troll on a post from last December about my move from Sprint to Cingular. [...]
Simply Delightful!
I love my blog.
I have been thinking about that for the past 24 hours, and I just had to say it. I met Mike because of my blog – along with a lot of other fantastic H-Town bloggers. I’ve made close friends that I adore through my blog. And the latest? [...]
My Dress Will Not be Featured…
Whoo hoo! While my dress will *not* be featured there, I am happy to see that the Ugly Wedding Dress of the Day site has returned! I think I found some in my bridal magazines that I need to scan and send in to them! [via Vanilla Flavored.]
The Wedding I’ll Never Have…
Mike is in an a cappella group, the Lager Rhythms, and we were discussing whether or not they would be performing at our wedding ceremony. (Minus Mike, of course.) They just did a wedding in January, so we were talking about what music they did for that wedding.
Then I had an idea – [...]
Just a Bit Excited!
The more I thought about it, I realized that I’m a “get along” type of person – I want to get along with everyone I work with, I want everyone to get along with me. I’m all about keeping the peace. From everything that Leslie told me earlier about her company and the [...]
Full Circle…
Years ago, I temped for someone that was on vacation at M.D. Anderson in the department that handled the writing and editing for a lot of the doctors there. I loved it, and I was so good at it that they actually offered me a part-time job working with the department that handles promoting [...]
Is it Just Me?
Earlier, thanks to J-Mo Jen, I started browsing through the Well-Designed Weblogs Volume 2. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some really nice sites on that list, and I am sure they have great code integrity. (Something I plan to getting back in to over the next few weeks.) However, I [...]
I Have a Confession…
I have a confession. I hate audblog posts. I probably wouldn’t mind them quite so much if people came back later and included a written version of what the wrote, although I realize that would defeat the purpose. I surf in silence – my favorite laptop has one speaker and it’s on [...]
I Guess I Need to Go Back to School…
It’s the last weekend before Science Fair (yay! It’s almost over!) and the projects for this “phase” are for Jason to write his speech and put together his backboard for the fair on Wednesday. After going back and forth about the speech, we moved on to the backboards. We printed everything out, [...]
Just to Make You Jealous…
I would like to point out to those of you living in the really freakin’ cold states up north that I have not turned on my heat yet this winter. Not once. Not at all.
Originally, I didn’t turn it on because the weather was bouncing from cold to hot – so once I [...]

Cookies on the Side
Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
