A “Smart Phone” and a not so “smart user”

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

my new phone…….let’s see if I can figure out how to use it….So far I managed to get my email working on it..
That took about 2 hours to get it working….hah….
My sons both told me I will hate it…That I won’t be able to figure it out….
.(something tells me they just want it and are hoping I will give in)
I will conquer it! I will! I will!

Libra’s and change..

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Somewhere I read that Libra’s need change…Which is weird and not so weird….I really dislike change in my life….but I seem to want change in my “online” life….

So my online life gets lots of changes…..Like this one…I have moved my blog over to …well…to here….
My other blog now redirects to this one…..but if you have my blog linked please change the link so it goes to this one..

I will be making more changes on this ..like…the “green writing” at the top really has to go….UGH! its awful…..And a new banner….(the one there is just a “for now” one…it’s pretty bad too…
When I have time I will play….till then….it will do…..I am happy with the change…for the moment…laffn..who knows how long I will keep it this way..

darn cold in Pennsylvania today…

-15 degrees out there this morning…..
no wonder Lucy didn’t want to stay outside when I took her out….
She did her thing…..in a hurry and ran back up to the door….
She usually sticks her nose in the snow for ten minutes before finding “her spot”
any spot would do today….the closer to the door the better for her!

I think staying in and packing boxes would be a grand idea today…
I will not venture outside in this……it’s just too cold for these old bones!

Stay warm and happy today…….later-

a little bit of snow and cold

The trip to town for some groceries looked like this…
The snow was blowing and the roads were awful…but this is normal for NW Pennsylvania in the winter.

Pic taken with a cell phone ….in a bouncing truck…..love that blur!
12 degrees outside..it was chilly!

12 more boxes to pack up and send out……20 to go to the PO tomorrow on the way to the doctors office for his appointment…
then more tests tomorrow afternoon….I am praying it stops snowing and they get the roads cleared up…

NEW items should be coming in this week sometime….yay!

I am off to bed…..warm jammies….warm blankets….and a little tv..
I am addicted to the ID channel…all those morbid shows…!
night night…..play nice..

emergency room fun

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I spent the day yesterday in the emergency room……no not for me….with my brother who it turned out has a blood clot in his arm …which is just added to everything else he is going thru….They took alook at that arm and said…”you will be staying” ….turns out he will be there 3 to 5 days…..getting IV antibiotics and blood thinners…..

The ER is not some place we go to…..in fact I don’t think I have been in one in a few years……..and there is a good reason for that…….first off ..you know it will be at least a 4 hour wait no matter what….minimum ….second……there are some really goofy people that seem to hang out there……You can tell they are there alot….and the goofiest ones always want to talk to me….what is with that? I sit there quiet….usually reading a magazine…and outta the blue….I am involved in a conversation I really don’t want to be in….I try to smile and nod my head and keep looking back at my magazine…but nope…that doesn’t seem to stop the convo…

I wonder how the people that work there deal with it…I know that I could not….I would go home with a headache every day….Thank God for the ones that work there…..They deserve a raise!!

catching up..

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Well now I know how much Chemo sucks! It hit my brother hard…and he was a train wreck for a few days! He was awful sick on Thanksgiving which made him have to stay home instead of coming to our house…It was not the same with him not here for a holiday meal! I saved him some and a couple days later he was able to have his “Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing”!

This week is already busy….My Etsy sales are really up…so I spend every free minute packing boxes…..relisting…..ordering…printing….and once in awhile I have to stop to grab a bite to eat and do dishes….Everything else is on hold till I catch up…

Two days this week will be spent running to the hospital for him to have more tests…..The rest of the days and nights will be for working..
I am tired…but still going….!!

New items are coming in this week…I hope ..as well as restocking some things….I hope to get them listed as they come in!

Ok….enough blabber for me….I am off to finish up a few boxes…then a shower…warm jammies…and some Tv for the night.
later-

ugh!

My poor baby’s new car….he went to the store after work…came out and found this…Hit and Run….
How unfair some people can be…just rotten…
welcome to being an adult D…this is how things go at times!!
The pretty little blur in the corner is my finger —- I always have it there when I try to take a cell phone pic…
I should really learn by now…but ….it’s there..again and again..

laptop crash …AGAIN

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

computer-crash

And once again my laptop crashed..I turned it on yesterday and nothing..no beeps..no sounds…no windows..
Nothing! So it got the boot! I went out last night with my D to get a new one..I decided that instead of putting alot of money into a new one.
.I would just go to wally world and get a cheap one. So far so good….but the reinstalling and setting up is really getting to me..
plus I lost everything again!..ugh…it’s just a big fat pain!!

sigh!

Why?

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Why do bad things happen in 3’s? It always seems to be that way…which is just scary when you know that already 2 things have happened…well what will be next???

I found out last night…..first my laptop blew its cork! …The next was the water heater….(thats two in 5 years for the water heater) ….then last night I put a load of wash in…and just happened to lay down for a little nap….when I woke…the washer was still washing!!! I couldn’t understand why…Did someone stop it and start it again? nope…..So this morning I again put a load in. Low and behold..its stuck in the wash cycle. Just keeps agitating …for ever it seems.! Its just not a good time to be buying NEW Water Tanks and washers and A laptop!  Geeeesh!

I feel like a little black cloud is over my head…!!! crys-

i.fib

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

I did say…I would not buy anymore!! Didn’t I? well I bought some paints the other day…before I said I would not buy….(got myself outta that sticky little fib)…I bought some of the Stewart Gills Metamica paints…just two bottles as they were expensive  (of course they were)…..I do love them but found that they were pretty much the same as the Jacquard Lumiere I already had! The Lumiere is cheaper and you get twice the amount of paint..!!! So if your looking for metallic paints…..I won’t tell you which to get….
(they are both awesome paints)
let your bank account decide…..

lumiere

metamica

Another purchase was the Claudine Hellmuth Studio paints…
Which I am just so in love with !!!
The colors are fabulous…the paint is so creamy and covers  really well!
just yummy! (I ordered some more colors today…ooops)

studio

ok…thats it for me tonight..I’m tired….and really need a shower…
I’m covered in paint….how I get it all over  is a mystery!
