Tech Top: Reverse Image Search

This was a great tech tip!  I have never reverse searched an image.  This might be ignorance though, because I knew it was possible I just never tried to find out how.  This will be a great tool for when I enjoy an image but it is too small.
My Larger Image of Buddha!!!

The picture is of Buddha.  I can't find more information on it, as all sources led somewhere completely different.

Future Reading

Week 9
The first set I am going to read is "Giant Crab" by WHD Rouse in 1897.  It is a bunch of short stories that describe the various birth stories of Buddha.  It looks really cute, and the description said it has fun illustrations.  I think this will give me a lot of leeway in my storytelling as well.

Week 10
The next stories I will read are "Indian Fables and Folklore" by Shovona Devi in 1919.  Apparently I am really into short stories.  We have read so many long stories lately that I feel like I needed a change.

Blog Post about Blog Posts (Blogception)... AKA Blog Ideas

The first blog I went to, the student had very soft colors with dark lettering for a great contrast.  I had the same widgets, but the font is what attracted me the most.

The second blog I liked had a weather widget.  I have not noticed one of these thus far, and I really enjoyed this!

The third blog that caught my eye had a lot of fun fonts that I did not expect to be as cute as they were.  The title was all caps with fuzzy.  The titles of the blogs were orange with white blog words.

Time Time Time

We talk about time so much that we waste it just talking about it.  I plan so many things to get done in a day.  Each one is based on a realistic time frame that I have pre-set.  Then real life happens.  The baby's running a fever, my husband building a mailbox (that is literally what he is doing right now in front of me!), or I end up in a never ending loop of netflix (see below -__- ). 


This semester, I have yet to have two consistent weeks, and I don't even mean in a row.
I set my schedule as two hours Monday, two hours Wednesday, and two hours Friday.  So far, the Monday and Friday have been pretty close to dead on.  Wednesday is my jumping day.  Sometimes I do four hours Monday and two on Friday, and other times just time opposite.  Tuesday and Thursday have come into play once or twice too!  Whatever I'm doing seems to be working because I haven't missed an assignment yet!

For the second half of the semester, I would like to finish things earlier.  Based on past experience, this will probably not happen.  Despite this, I will still try!
