I have been so busy

this weekend. I pulled out my very old Incredible Knitting Machine to see if I could finally get it to work. NOT. It is still uncooperative. I just composed a letter to send to the Bond Knitting people to see if they will honor their lifetime warranty. I will let you know if I hear anything.

I have been busy trying to track down and eradicate those Phantom Power draws all homes have. I am putting in power strips that will shut off equipment totally when not in use. My home office is probably the biggest energy waster we have besides our old and archaic freezer. I have a whole bunch of doo dahs in here that suck electricity. I really should get one of those little line meters that shows you what kind of electrical draw each appliance has. Maybe next time I get out of town I will look for one. Better yet maybe I should research it online and just order one and save the time and GAS cost.

I was out in the storage shed earlier to get my rebounder (that is a mini trampoline) out and start using it. I read that the rebounder are an excellent source of excercise, low impact on knees and back and somehow stimulate all the cells in your body. Although I find that last part a little bit hard to conceive of the exercise won't hurt me.

Better run for now as I need to go take a nap, ahem, I mean sweep and mop the floor.

Till later

What Have I Done with My Time

I sure haven't done much crafting lately. I have been studying up on how to build web pages, hope to someday soon have an internet business that pays some real money.

There is so much information available online that it is simply overwhelming. Most days it feels like I am just chasing my tail. I go to one interesting web page, then find another link there that catches my attention so I go there and the process just keeps repeating itself.

My Favorites list drop down scrolls for miles with all the places I want to stay on top of.

Downloaded Nvu (a free web site builder)and it seems to be fairly user friendly. Has the same stuff as Word and Excel does, but when I started to play with it I realized I had NO idea what I wanted the site to look like. I did NOT have any instant enlightenment as to what I was doing so I sent a copy of that link to my desktop and it is still there waiting for me to do something with it.

All I really wanted to do was get a start somewhere to learn how to become filthy rich.

Am learning about new blog sites: Twitter, tumbler pownce and jaiku to name a few. Not sure what all of them do yet. Some are like MySpace.

I just need to stay focused on one thing at a time. I have a tendency to get sidetracked. If any of you have read my previous blogs you will know that I can't seem to do just ONE project at a time, I have to have at least 3

I will just keep trudging along cause I don't have a Computer Fairy Godmother to just wave a wand and make my web page for me.

Till next time, take care and rich blessings to you.
