You Are NEVER Going to Complete Your To Do List →
Does your to do list beat you up just a bit each day? Or maybe you already gave up on to do lists because they were just one more stress you decided you could eliminate.

I Am MIA and Counting My Blessings →
I have missed you all.
Sometime early in the month, I think while working in the garden, I herniated a disc in my lower back. When I sit, the disc pinches my sciatic nerves. These are nerves that…
Turning the Tumblr Page Again
I have not really known how to effectively use tumblr. I set the account up and set it up to pull the feed from Laurel Plum Online per a suggestion I found somewhere and just forgot about it for a long time. You can peruse the original account. Maybe it will encourage you to stop by the site to participate.
Then I remembered that it was there and thought it would be a neat place to put all of the...

A Full week of giveaways!
Starting tomorrow March 16th I will be hosting a full week of giveaways! I am so excited and nervous. This is the first giveaway I have done and instead of doing 1 I go for a whole week! I hope I didn’t bite off more than I can handle. I hope this will be as much fun as I think it will. And I really hope the sponsors find it was worth their time.

Today was absolutely beautiful! A perfect 72 degrees. We opened all of the windows and now the house smells like Spring. We spent some time outside, not really doing anything other than just being outside.
The dogs are starting to lose their winter fur. One of them looks like it has some sort of disease because it is coming out in chunks and she is spotted and mottled all over. She looks pitiful...

Today was a very productive day for the site. I was able to quickly write two articles early this morning before anyone woke up and made a few banners and backend pages tonight.

Read E-mail. Respond to Urgents.
Work on articles.
