I hope you all had GREAT Valentine’s days…

My valentine was super sweet, as always, and made me something creative and wonderful.

In the spirit of V-day, I thought I’d elaborate a bit on how I met my hubby, as some of you asked about that story after my interview last week.

I was auditioning musicians for my live band, and needed a lead guitar player. My current bandmates knew of Daron, and so they arranged for the 4 of us to meet. When he arrived, I walked right over to him, and greeted him with a big hug. From what we’ve been told (by the other 2) we just started talking, and next thing we knew, the other two eventually tired of us talking only to each other and left.

I don’t claim that I fell in love at first sight, but I do admit that I knew, right away, that he would be a very important person in my life… maybe a best friend, maybe more… but I knew that we were connected.

Some time passed, and phase two of the “audition process” was underway. We met up with Daron at a rehearsal space, so that he could play for us. I asked him to jam with us, and when it came time for the break, to solo as he saw fit.

When he played that first guitar solo, he brought me to tears. He was so expressive, and the music he made was so beautiful… I was blown away.

A little more time passed, all the while, D and the band and me were still practicing and performing… he quickly became one of my very best friends… We were friends for some time after that, and one day… it was just more.

That is how I know he’s my lobster… loving him was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. There wasn’t any forcing it, fighting it… battling for attention, or honesty… it just was.

So, that’s my darling boy… he’s the best!

Blogging/Interwebs Public Service Announcement

Have you wondered how sometimes, in the comment area of people’s blogs, they have a spot for a picture, but yours is always blank? Have you ever asked?
-How do I get an avatar to show up when I post a comment on someone’s blog? or
-Why doesn’t my avatar show up on the comments area of that site, I have a blogger avatar? (or something like that)

I’ve been way more active in the blog-o-sphere, and was wondering that myself… well, I finally figured it out!

You need to get a GRAVATAR!!! That stands for Globally Recognized Avatar!

All you do is sign up, and tell it all the email addresses you use when you post comments (it doesn’t publish that information, and you can even assign different gravatars for each address if you want)

Anyway, now my cute picture lola made will show up by my comments.

So, if you want those ugly little blue men on my site to be replaced by your cuteness, get a gravatar.

Tomorrow, I’m talking about the FFFK and other things. Good night!
