You’re Not Seeing Things

July 5, 2009 by WendyB

Since I launched the redesigned blog, I’ve been using a word-verification program that allows me to enter my own words. When you see things like “bikini” or “WendyB” — yes, I picked them. (The program came with “Ikea” for unknown reasons.)

I’m not sure if I’m going to keep this particular word-verification style. I prefer random letter/number combos myself. Enjoy it while it lasts!

And now, for no reason at all, here’s a photo of Henry the dog, taken at the dog park yesterday.

Henry is happy.

Henry is happy.

    Hi Wendy:

    Just some late night insomnia surfing. I was hoping you’d be up and bored and on Facebook. Instead, it’s just me and the World Series of Poker 2005. lol

    So I just poked my head in here to see what’s up and I love the new redesign! I really like that your jewelry is up on the top. Looking at it reminds me of how smart you are as a designer. I really appreciate all the thought that goes into each one of your designs. Very very good work.

    I hope you are sleeping soundly!

    Deirdre

    Is there some reason why I always get the anti-spam word “beyotch”?

  33. enc says

    July 6, 2009 at 10:56 am

    I love those word-verification choices. I’ve had a few chuckles entering them.

    Henry is very cute. And very dignified!

    Miss J has been enjoying WendyB’s amusing word verifications… She will be sad to see them go.

    Love your blog! just discovered it today!
    Do you guys not have IKEA in the states? it is a very, very, very popular shop here in the UK and Europe.

  43. WendyB says

    July 7, 2009 at 6:18 pm

    Thanks for stopping by, Shopaholic. We do have Ikea…I just am not clear why the name would be automatically included in the word-verification program!

  44. Shopaholic says

    July 7, 2009 at 6:18 pm

    Ok! I’m posting again, my word this time was cadbury, that is a very very very popular make of chocolate here in the UK โ€“ I think the programme must be British! If you ever get corblimeyguvnor then you’ll know that it is ๐Ÿ™‚

  45. WendyB says

    July 7, 2009 at 6:20 pm

    Shopaholic, I confess to adding Cadbury. Maybe I’ll add your suggestion and really shock all the U.K. readers! ๐Ÿ™‚
