What a Start to the New Year?

   This January has been quite an interesting one so far.  First last week we had ice and then 6 inches of snow. In fact most of that snow is still in my yard piled up.  Today we had ice again.  Tomorrow we will have a high of 45 degrees and you guessed it plain old rain that will turn to snow late tomorrow night.  Last night Art and I went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner.  When we were driving home it started raining.  I was glad that we made it home before it started freezing on the roads last night.  You see we have to travel to Iowa to go to Outback Steakhouse.  Iowa is not that far but, we have to cross the Mississippi river to get there.  Normally, crossing the Mississippi does not bother me that bad but in the winter it does.  2 Years ago just before Thanksgiving we drove to Iowa to eat at Outback Steakhouse.   On the way home that night it started to snow and the bridge was starting to get slick.  The car in front of us lost control on the snow and ice and spun around.  Then the person behind us could not stop so we were rear ended.  So now if there is any hint of ice in the forecast I do not like to be far from home or sitting on the I-74 Bridge when it is freezing rain.  I did not post about this last night because when we arrived home I was busy watching the new season of 24 on Fox.    All I have to say is Kiefer Sutherland rocks.  More later.

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.
