Snow, Ice and Chicago

   Well I made it to work okay this morning   The roads were slippery in spots but not a sheet of ice.  My driveway however was an ice slick.  I backed out of the garage.  I did not have my foot on the gas or the brake and the car kept going.  I called Art before I left work and suggested that he salt the driveway so it would not ice over anymore than it already has.  I got home and Art said that he walked to the mailbox to get the mail and the garbage cans and fell 2 or 3 times between the garage and the mailbox.   I told Art that I think maybe he should have salted the driveway before trying to walk to the mailbox not after.  

 I just got an email from Art about 1 hour and a half ago.  He made it safely to Chicago for his concert.  Tomorrow may be another story since the snow is supposed to be heavy at times.   We are supposed to get ice tonight and it turn to snow tomorrow morning.  I probably will not go to work if there is ice under the snow it just is not worth it to try to drive on ice.  Snow I can drive on and have before but, with snow and ice under it that is another story.

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.
