Chicago and Snow

Well I did finally hear from Art about 30 minutes ago he is leaving Chicago soon. They just issued a snow emergency here. They do that so that people who park on the streets can move their cars so snow plows can plow the streets. Granted the snow emergencies are issued when there is 2 inches or more of snow. I have not heard an official total yet, but I am pretty sure it is a few inches because the street is covered and so is my driveway. Kwqc noon news just said 6 inches in some spots already. I am glad that I decided to stay home and not travel today. As I have said before, this makes me wish that I was back home down south in Alabama. Dad said it was in the high 60's and would be in the 50's tomorrow. Anything, to get out of this winter weather would make me happy. At 10:00pm last night the news said that some people in Hampton and Some in Rock Island had power outages. We have been lucky here at our house no power outage yet from this storm. Art should be on his way home now I anticipate that it will take him about 4 hours to get home with the roads being the way they are

Update: Art Made it home around 3:30 this afternoon.

Another company has entered the paid to blog community it is called Link From Blog. I have always liked the idea of paid blogging. Link from blog is similar to other paid blogging companies in that you bid for jobs and the advertisers will look at the bids and determine who they want to write the reviews.

Blog Anniversary Milestone

   It is hard to believe that I have had this blog for the last 7 years.   I never thought that I would continue to do it for this long.    I have taken breaks here and there but I always come back and post something.   Sometimes it is a few weeks or months.   I have gone as long as a year but I always come back.   Looking through my archives I found how short my posts were and how few and far between they are in some spots as well.  When my husband and I set up our blogs all those years ago not many people knew what blogs were.   Now everyone has one.   Okay, well maybe not everyone my parents do not have one nor do I see either of them getting one anytime soon.  It is amazing to see what people blog about.   I read a long list of blogs religiously but have never been able to blog what I would call consistently.   As much as I enjoy it it seems a lot of people get tired of...

Technology

Well where do I begin with this one.   It seems like technology has not been my friend this week.  I wanted to make some updates to my handmade jewelry store , but the internet had other things in mind for me.  Yesterday when our internet connection seemed to be working in my favor I set out to do the updates that I mentioned.   Well that did not happen.  The network storage device that we have for backup was not accessible all day long.  Last night after Art woke up he finally got the device working again.   Needless to say we just backed up the device with a portable usb hard drive.  I didn�t know everything had to be so redundant.  So this morning was spent making updates to my site and getting blog going for my handmade jewelry store.  Everything store related will be posted here.    I will occasionally mention it on this one but any changes I make or products I add will be posted on my jewelry blog.
