Life on Florida’s West Coast

Snowboarding Memories

Sports are a particular kind of thing. I think what you prefer to play and even watch (on some level) can tell people a lot about yourself. Most of my friends are the types who ride snowboards, rather than traditional skis, for example. I suppose I attach a youthful daredevil sensibility to snowboarding. There is something delightfully off-center about my friends. I think you can see a parallel here.

Now, you might guess I do a lot less in the area of winter sports now that I live in Florida. You would be correct. I left my very pretty, girly snowboard in West Virginia with a friend back when I moved down here. I figured I would only need it when I made it back up that way. I was right. :)

I found a luscious board on Christy Sports website and it has me remembering taking off after work when I lived up north so I could go with a couple of friends and hit the local runs. I miss that kind of last minute fun.

And so, the frustration continues…

It has now been two weeks since the person hosting my first two blogs pulled one of my blog offline and slapped me with a two week suspension. Actually, by the calendar, it has been two weeks and a day, but I just wait for two Fridays past the ban.

I wrote the individual late this morning. No reply, of course. Despite her insistence to her mother that she has replied promptly to each of my e-mails, nothing has hit either my inbox or my junk filters. Of course, you would expect her own mother to believe her. I’m a mom so I get that. Nonetheless, it’s a naughty thing to fib to your own mother.

And so, my Plus1 blog is still down and my rejections for paid work are still rolling in. It’s a sad, sick commentary on the reality of using fee hosting for a blog or website.
