Yesterday was a busy busy day for me but I made sure that I got a quick post up about Squidtop at the Giant Squid Community Showcase.  I really love this place and I think it’s a great opportunity for all lensmasters, especially the Giant Squids.

And why was I so busy yesterday?  Believe it or not, I started yet another blog.  To be honest, this one should have been my first.  I have so many gardening articles from my days at Garden and Hearth that I can’t believe I didn’t think of doing this a lot sooner.  Some of those articles have already been turned into lenses but others were just laying around gathering dust so I decided to make a new home for them at  Fresh From Your Garden.  I’m not thrilled with the layout yet and I’ll probably end up changing the theme but please take a look and let me know what you think of the place so far.

I also added a post to Cabaret Squidoo.  This one is about my zucchini recipes lens.

I finished the lens about my great night at the Duran Duran concert.

Here’s a link:  Duran Duran on Tour 2008

As I was browsing AOL yesterday I came across an article about Oprah starting a new diet and I thought to myself, Who really cares?  Well, if you know me well enough by now you know that whenever I get a funny idea like that, I feel compelled to make a lens about it.  This one seemed perfect for the Hey Monkeybrain co-brand and so What Won’t Oprah Eat was born.

There are also two new posts at the Giant Squid Community Showcase that you should see.  One explores different ways of using the Write/Text module and the other presents this week’s winner in the Choose Your Favorite Giant Squid Lens competition.

And last but not least if you like pancakes and waffles, you need to visit Cabaret Squidoo because I’ve got a real treat for you there!

Yesterday I didn’t get very much accomplished as far as my Squidooing goes because I had tickets to see Duran Duran!  If you’ve ever taken a look at my list of Squidoo lenses, you know how much I LOVE THE MUSIC OF THE 80’s!   I never got the opportunity to see them back in the 80’s so I was really excited to get the chance last night.  The show was spectacular and they sounded every bit as good as they did back in the day.  The arena where I saw them was awesome too!  (My first time there even though the place is practically in my backyard.)

As you can probably guess, I will be making a lens to mark the occasion!  Stay tuned… I’ll post the link here once it’s done.

In the meantime, don’t miss bdkz’s latest post at the Giant Squid Community Showcase

I truly appreciate being given this chance to keep a journal of my Squidooings here at Squidtop!

rms’s Squidiary will be the place where I post all Squidnews about my lenses and blogs, including updates at The Giant Squid Community Showcase (where your  Giant Squid Community Organizers, bdkz, GypsyPirate, and I,  feature the lenses made exclusively by Squidoo’s Giant Squids) and Cabaret Squidoo where I feature my favorite Squidoo recipe lenses.

Yesterday’s post at Cabaret Squidoo, Perfect Party Dips and Appetizer Recipes, featured a couple of lenses designed to help you get your next party off to a great start. 

And my post at the Giant Squid Community Showcase, Giant Lensography Lenses, featured JaguarJulie’s tremendous lensography.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more!
