Moving in

Ok, I’ve just finished transferring all my entries and comments from my old LiveJournal blog. Let’s see how this one does!

For those who may be looking for my personal Web site, Peggy Hu’s Notebook, an explanation. Due to the recent closure of Geocities, which had been hosting my site for more than 13 years, I’ve had to transfer my files to a new domain. You can still read my old stories, book reviews, poems and other material on http://www.peggyhu.com/, but it may take me a while to make any updates to the site as I deal with technical issues. If you notice any broken links, please let me know!

 

Think Positive – Day 1

I just joined a LiveJournal (LJ) community called thinkpositive30. Members make a commitment to post at least one positive thought per day for 30 days in a row. I can’t figure out how to post to the community right now, so I’m going to list today’s happy thoughts here and hope some of the community members will stop by and say hello.

1. I got to sleep in until 10 a.m. today! This is a very rare occurrence because I have a 5-year-old son who gets up with the sun every day, if not earlier, and does not understand why everyone else around him should not be awake when he is. My husband was very generous and took care of him all morning, though.

2. I’ve made a good deal of progress today in customizing my LJ account. Figured out how to create a userpic within the specified 100 px / 100 px limit that isn’t too blah and upload it to the site. For those of you who don’t know how “graphically challenged” I am, this is quite an accomplishment!  Also found some nifty emoticon graphics to display my moods.

3. The formatting problem I’ve been having with some of my LJ entries seems to have sorted itself out. I don’t think I did anything to stop the automatic indenting, but I’m happy it’s gone.

4. A friend of mine commented on one of my LJ entries and notified me that she, too, has an LJ account. It was fun to read her blog and to see her comment. (I love comments; it tells me someone else out there is actually reading what I write!)

5. Tonight my husband, son and I went out to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. The service was really efficient, the food was delicious, and my son was well-behaved. All around it was a very positive experience!
