US Postal Service

Our mail carrier is usually very early. When I say early I mean he is at our house like clockwork between 10:30 am and 11:30 am. When I arrived home today the garbage and the recycling people had been but no mailman. I just went outside to bring the garbage can back into the garage and check the mail. When i brought the recycling bin into the garage I noticed that my neighbors flags were still up on their mailboxes. It is now 2 pm still no mail carrier in sight. i usually hear cars on our street and check to see if it is the mail carrier. I am not expecting anything in the mail but, yesterday was a Holiday and then the mail carrier is a slacker today. Boy I wish I had a job like his where you get all the government holidays and then you get to be a slacker and get paid for it the day after the Holiday. I know I am on a rant here but I hate going to the mailbox 20 times a day in the winter why can't the mailman be regular this week.

On the other hand I was reading the news yesterday for Huntsville and noticed that they had a brief hailstorm. Those little stones can do some serious damage to cars and houses.

Update: The mail carrier finally showed up about 15 minutes ago

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.
