Native North Carolinian

to tell you what happened, didn’t I? I logged in to make a post and found some weirdness. After I hit post, the screen just went blank. So I checked out my feed, and someone had put a bunch of invisible links in my first four posts on the home page. And they managed to fix it so that I could not edit the posts. Or create new ones. Or basically do anything else. As you can see if you check the source, those invisible links are gone, and I am obviously posting again. So. She who laughs last, laughs best. At least temporarily.

This is my personal chant to the folks who hacked my blog. In fact, those losers deserve every insult those “mean girls” in the video dish out. You do remember the movie “Mean Girls” don’t you? But enough about me and and my anger management issues. This post is about cheerleaders and cheering and a sweepstakes!

Here’s what you do: First, take a Look in side Squad 81 cheerleaders locker room! You’ll see a bunch of pretty girls in cute suits, holding signs. From there, you can shop for some stylin’ men’s clothes, enter to win a bedroom full of Squad 81 girls (you’ll have to decide what to do with them once you get ‘em) OR send a personalized cheer to a friend (or enemy) (just sayin’). Check it out and see for yourself!

And if you decide to send one to me, make it something snappy. I used to be a cheerleader, so it better be good!

Yep, another weather post. It’s just flipping from awesome to too stinking cold for proper words. In fact, the difference between Friday night and Sunday night this week was… extreme. And I know this to be so, because I slept outside both nights. Wanna see the camping pictures? Go ahead, you know you wanna!

So, I just typed in the addy to this site, and got a warning that this site might contain malware. Umm, no. No, it doesn’t. I may not have the best memory in the world, but I’m pretty dang sure I would remember installing some crap like that here, especially since I have to come here, too.

Just an aside: I’m pretty sure somebody has to report something somewhere to get that kind of warning, and whoever you re, whatever you did: I’m satisfied you’ll get what you deserve in the end.

I bragged yesterday that it was so balmy here and pleasant. Boy, did I get my come-uppance today. When I took off for my walk, it was grey and the breeze had kicked up, and it was almost cold! Seriously, my nose was running! I saw the funniest thing, though. Someone had abandoned a pair of platform slides by the road. Now, I might expect people to lost all sort of weird things by the side of the road here. I would not have been surprised to see a medical id bracelet in the grass, for instance. But a pair of shoes, looking as if someone had just floated right out of them?

And, yes! Tomorrow, I am taking the camera.

Well, it’s definitely spring here in Carolina! I was driving the other day, and admiring the pretty purple and green trees. Purple? Yep, the wisteria is really showing itself this year. Too bad it kills whatever it grows on, so that in a few years those pretty purple and green trees will be only purple.

I was looking at my front flower beds this afternoon, too. I remarked to DD that the weeds were taking over, and she reminded me that we had scattered wildflowers in that bed a couple years ago, and that the “weeds” were only in that one bed. Oops. Yeah, she’s right. The recent rain has made those flowers spring up even though they didn’t come up last year. Wild.

My azaleas on the other hand may not ever recover, and the one unknown tree we transplanted (I’m almost sure I showed you a picture) doesn’t have any buds on it at all, BUT there are new saplings coming up around the base of it. We may have lost teh tree, but the root lived, so that’s good. I’m afraid the dogwood is toast. ha–dry weather= toast for trees

Anyway, people are plowing and planting everywhere, and there will soon be fresh vegetables again. You know that’s why we need fewer colon cleansers than our Yankee Friends, right?
