Considering all things, today has gone rather well. I am primed to stay caught up on the various activities required of me as part of my business, the weather is warming up..again..without much of a cold-spell and my birthday party this weekend is shaping up nicely! My only real issue today was I got another hole in my head. Yes, you read correctly not A hold in my head but ANOTHER hole in my head.
As a person raised by great upper middle-class...
One year ago today, we added to our little family. A beautiful Spring day ride up Highway 99 for a couple of hours based on a photo seen on the internet. We were hopeful, so hopeful that we had already sent in our application to become parents. But which would be choose Otis or Scout. They both looked like fine fellas and would undoubtedly grow...
So most of the catchin' up has happened and I think I can finally focus on moving forward! So the next few days are about tying up loose ends and then.....(drum roll please)....I will work on CREATIVE stuff. Yes, crazy talk I know! Who would dream that you could spend time doing creative things when you own/run a knitting business. But yes, before the dawn of April -- creativity will happen! (At least that is the plan, assuming nothing gets...
Yes, the end of the tunnel is in sight. Today was the first day that I haven't worked a million hours (okay normally it is closer to 9 -11 hours, but it feels like a million) and I didn't get any further behind. In fact, I got all of the important thing done that needed to be done! Gotta love that! Also, after a visit to the printer tomorrow to pick up some much needed paper, I should be able to be caught up on the various mailings that I owe...
Today was not a day of knitting, but instead of cleaning. Something that has not happened around this place for some time -- too long actually. We had guests over for dinner tonight and needed to at least get a couple of the rooms presentable.
So we tried something new and it went very well. We served dinner out on the screened in porch that currently isn't screened in (see a couple post down). But everyone was cooperating, the weather was...
So I have just modified my class listing to include events, new classes , links to photos of finished items (where appropriate) and a link to an event/class only page for printing purposes. It sure doesn't sound like much when I type it in, but it took me most of the afternoon!!! Even so, I am much more proficient at this HTML coding thing that I was a few months ago.
Next thing is to work on some designs and get some new projects on the needles....
So I have decided that the blog universe is a very good place. Particularly knitters' blogs, since those are the ones that I am particularly interested in. I am sure there are other good, even great blogs out there, but it will probably be some time before I find them.
You see, my very small blog universe has it all. In the limited number of blogs I read, I have examples of something that I can really relate to in each of them. I want to...
The long awaited for moment has arrived. I have caught up on all thing things that should have been done a month ago!!! Now that is a load off my mind, but the even better news is the current backlog will probably only be another week or two. So the long and short of it is I am gaining ground! If I keep up this pace, I could be complete caught up by the end of the month and be able to take a day off around my birthday!!!
Well, time to send out...
This is what I was doing during this beautiful weekend:
We have this great screened in porch (currently without screen) that we are getting ready for the Spring and Summer weather. This is great news for me as I haven't been cold for over a week now. Something, just a few weeks ago, I feared would NEVER come. So the thought of sitting out there,...
So today was basically another good day for getting things checked off the list. I am no where near being caught up, but for the first time in more than a month, I can IMAGINE being caught up. I am getting big things checked off the list which is always satisfying. But even more importantly, I am not adding a tremendous number of new big things to the list. That will probably all change in a couple of days when I finally do some personal evaluation...
As is my normal practice before bed, I reviewed my favorite blogs, just prior to penning this. I was planning on extolling the virtues of my glorious day. I actually completed all the "A'' items on my "to do" list. But then I realized the true power of the blog.
While reviewing one of the other blogs I discovered why I had several channels missing from my satellite TV. Not something that I was terribly worried about, but happy to know the reason...
Before my head hits the hay tonight, the new and improve website will be uploaded for everyone's viewing pleasure. There are still a few little things missing or not quite right, but it has to be done anyway. There are folks out there just waiting for the newest version -- I am sure of it!!!
So another big item is checked off the "to do" list. However, there are still several biggies left to go. I still need to desgin, print up and send out...
So we are finally getting close to being able to publish our completely new and improved web site. We have been working on it for weeks and I think we are finally getting close. There are so many new pages to add and then everything needs to be proofed. So the list of things that needed to be done before the end of last month is getting shorter. Hopefully I can get it done before this month comes to an end!! I have great hope for this wee...
I know it is cheap...but I like the quizzes and this one was both fun a fairly accuarate!!
You are water. You're not really organic; you're neither acidic nor basic, yet you're an acid and a base at the same time. You're strong willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready to flow. So while you often seem worthless without you, everything would just...
Today was another day of progress, so this evening I thought I would take this time to introduce my puppies. Antigone (the old lady of the bunch) was part of a kid's program at our church called CATCH (Children At The CHurch). We talked about how we got to know one another and how we communicate since she cannot talk like Scooby-Doo (although she...
I have been complaining about the fact that my list keeps growing significantly faster than I am able to check things off, but today I actually made some headway! This brings me some serious joy! I have always been very goal oriented, and the appearance of loosing ground is not good for my type of personality. But today I gained a little. And tomorrow has some good prospects of gaining a bit more. I suppose I am most excited about the fact that...
