Stargazer00 on Squidoo

I first heard of Squidoo when BzzAgent buzzed it a few years back. I didn't get it. I even skimmed Seth Godin's book, Small is the New Big. I still didn't get it. What on earth did I have to write about? Why would I want to write about anything? I'm not really sure what made me take a second look and decide to do this, but here I am! Welcome to my Squidoo World!

Swimming with the Giant Squids

I want to be a Giant Squid!

For now I am still in the wading pool, but I want to swim with the Giant Squids! I thought it would be good to start my lensography now while there aren't too many lenses and then it will be easy to add as I go. I present to you my humble beginnings.

Update: On Oct 6, 2008 I was accepted as a Giant Squid! Yay! I get to swim with the Giant Squids! Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way, especially Thomas C.

Update: Now I am going for the 100 Club by March 31, 2009. It is January 3rd and I have 68 lenses.

Update: April 7 and I missed the March 31 deadline for Top 100. We'll see if I make it by June. I currently have 81 lenses.

April 30, 2009: 89 lenses!

June 30, 2009: 100 Club Member!

More than you ever wanted to know about stargazer00!

Welcome to My World

In a former life Stargazer00 was a roulette and 21 dealer. She was once a floral designer, and is a retired homeschooling mom. An avid reader, she loves nothing better than to settle into a good book series.

Food is high up there on her list of interests, especially rhubarb pie and macaroni and cheese. Having given up fashionable shoes for comfort, she has worn only Crocs for the past two years because her feet feel happy in them.

In her college days she went backpacking in the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico.

Stargazer00 has visited every state west of the Mississippi as well as Mexico and Canada. In Canada she discovered poutine which is available in every fast food restaurant across Canada and now on her list of favorite foods.

She kibbitzes every day with a group of online friends that she has known for twelve years, seven of which she has met in real life. Soon to be an empty nester, she has a wonderful husband with whom she has raised three lovable sons.

CafePress, Paperback Swap, Zazzle and Squidoo are a few of her online interests. Originally from Iowa, she spent many years living and working on the south shore of Magnificent Lake Tahoe but now she lives in the Pacific Northwest which she loves.
