Saturday, June 21st, 2008The Deputy Headmistress has a post on multi-tasking that is worthwhile reading. I’m afraid that I’ve been proud of multi-tasking myself, but there is a huge demand for it from mothers since we wouldn’t get anything done at all if we didn’t multi-task. Since it is something inherent in being a mother. I’m [...]
Internet
Monday, March 31st, 2008Our internet was out since about 2 pm. I was working using my genealogy program tonight, and just as I was about to turn the computer off, I heard that wonderful signal of incoming email! I don’t know from first-hand knowledge, but was told that a cable was damaged when either a tornado [...]
Flooding right in our backyard
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Here are some photos from the flooding we’ve had. The first few are from the back of our house and the last few are from down the road but at the corner of our property.
Quilt Progress
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008Just so that people don’t think I haven’t made any progress on the quilt (you were all thinking that, right?), I thought I’d post the fruits of my labors even if it did languish here and there for the last three weeks or four… I included some of the surrounding territory to give a sense [...]
Internet
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008We have been without internet since we got up on Monday morning. We thought it was the ice caked onto the antenna (we get wireless internet via a tower in a nearby town.). So I’m at the library getting my internet fix. Today the ice was off the antenna and it still isn’t [...]
First Quilt Block
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008I know I haven’t made very much progress. I found that my cutting wheel was dull on my Olfa and had to wait to get one. Then I cut out all of one fabric which of course doesn’t allow one to put together a block. I cut out one of the other coordinating fabrics today [...]
New look?
Saturday, November 10th, 2007Since no one has mentioned the new look on my site, I wondered if I should suggest refreshing your page when you get here. And no, that’s not our property, but pretty close–within 1/2 a mile.
Ain’t it Purty?
Sunday, September 9th, 2007I know that some members of the family who haven’t been home in the last couple of weeks would not even know that this is indeed our fish tank. I bought five new fish: two turquoise guppies, two platies, and one algae eater. We already had one red-tailed shark. The lady at the store told [...]
Holed up in…er…on my computer
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007I’m pretty proud of my efforts over the last few days. I totally revamped my husband’s business Web site (it looks better in Firefox than in IE, imo) and gave my genealogy site a new look. The genealogy site was certainly functional, but I had used one of their templates and had never personalized it. [...]
Sticky Notes
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007A couple of weeks ago, EuroMom was talking about organization tools, and she mentioned sticky notes going with the Google Desktop. Since I hadn’t seen that, I did a Web search and found something else which I LOVE. They are electronic sticky notes that you put on your desktop. The “pad” stays in your [...]
