G is for Granny
G is for Granny squares (and sometimes circles).
One of my current crochet projects is a year-long mini granny square blanket. By the end of the year, I hope to have enough squares completed to cover my bed or at least enough to cover myself.
I really do hope I finish my mini granny square blanket. My track record on personal crochet projects is not very good.
You see, a few years ago...
Okay, I will just say it. Back in 2010 (that's 4 years ago people!) I started crocheting a granny circle blanket. I'm still working on it. Well, that is if you call sitting in a bag in the back of the closet, working on it. Then yeah...I'm working on it.

E is for Explore
Are you familiar with Flickr? It's a photography website.
I guess now-a-days it would be called a social media site, but I have never thought of it that way. I first signed up for an account in 2004. Back when I first started this blog. Did they have social media back then?
Every day, Flickr selects 500 photos to showcase in what they call Explore. It used to be the top 500 most interesting photos, but over the years the criteria to get a photo into Explore has changed. Thing is....no one has ever known what the original criteria was or what the current criteria is. The only thing that is known for sure is that the criteria has changed.
Six years ago, I got my first photo in Explore. This one right here. I was really excited about that. I still find it exciting.
Fast forward to last week. After 6 years, I again have had a photo make it into Explore. I am super excited but I have to admit I have no idea how it got in there. It's not a particularly great photo. Just a quick shot I took with my iPod for my photo of the day.
But thanks to the Magic Donkey that is Flickr's Explore, my kitty photo has had up to 5,362 views as of this post. Yay!

A is for Anything
It's that time again! Time for this year's Blogging from A to Z Challenge. YAY!
I am not your typical A to Z blogger. I am not a writer.
When I first did this challenge back in 2011, I winged it and didn't have a theme. Last year, my theme was All About Me. Oh, that really sounds conceited doesn't it?
This year, I was really leaning towards posting only photos for the month, but I wasn't too sure if I wanted to have a specific theme of photograph. Plus, I couldn't make up my mind if I only wanted to post photographs and nothing else.
I debated having NO theme. But in the end, I decided that a theme was really important to me and so that theme would be...... Drumroll please......
ANYTHING.
That's right! I am going to post about ANYTHING. ANYTHING!
However, that being said, my posts will most likely be more photo than text.
And since I chose to write about ANYTHING, here’s a picture of my cat that I find to be Amusing. You know, just because I can. Because you see, my theme is ANYTHING.

Spring is here!
After one of the warmest Winters on record, Spring has arrived!
Technically, Spring isn't until March 20th, but the Desert has never been one to follow the rules. Spring actually started arriving last month, in February, and every day there is something new to look at. I love seeing all the green! It's all so pretty. I will have to make some time to get out and look around because soon, it will be too hot and nothing will be looking very pretty around here.
How is the weather where you are? Has Spring arrived?

bad clusters
I had big plans to post a new blog post last night, but something kind of came up.
"Windows replaced bad clusters in file." Many many bad clusters and scan is only at 24%. sigh.....

Windows has now replaced bad clusters in one of my personal picture files. It's getting serious now. 25% complete....
— Stefani (@dreamsofnyssa) March 12, 2014
Good-bye many many picture files. I will miss you. Still holding at 25% complete. :-(
— Stefani (@dreamsofnyssa) March 12, 2014
Windows, you leave those Depeche Mode songs alone! Scan disk 26% complete.
— Stefani (@dreamsofnyssa) March 12, 2014
The scan was still stuck at 26% when I finally dragged myself to bed last night. Or should I say, early this morning. I don't yet know the extent of the damage, but at least the computer turned back on this morning.

Currently...
Saying... goodbye to my Big Orange Purse (BOP). I am so disappointed. This is the most expensive purse I have ever owned and it didn't even last 10 months. The stitching on the handles started pulling apart after just a few months of use and then last month, one of the handles ripped apart from the body.
Loving... my new LOVE necklace.
Organizing... my new Raskog cart. My first ever IKEA purchase. I have never been to an actual store. I finally bit the bullet and placed an order online. This cart is just so cute. I am in love with the color.
Looking... at all the Spring!
Tossing... around (in my head) a few A to Z post ideas. I plan to participate in this year's Blogging from A to Z challenge. The challenge doesn't start until April, but placed my name on the list and signed up back in January. This is the earliest I have ever signed up. I usually don't throw my hat into the ring until the night before or maybe even the day of. I have done this challenge twice so far. Once back in 2011 and then again in 2013.
