Ice and Sleet

I am glad that we do not live here. Every time they report snow in other states my dad says to me I bet you are glad you don’t live there anymore. I spent 8 winters in places where it snows. When I was a kid I used to always want snow but after 8 winters I am glad that I moved back to an area that freaks out when they get ice or a flake of snow. We had a couple of rounds of sleet and freezing rain this morning. I decided to take another route since the road that I normally take has bridges and over passes on it. I put my car in 4 wheel drive and headed out but the further from my house and closer to town I got the worse the roads were. By the time I had turned around the elevated portions of the interstate that I drive everyday and the elevated portions of the parkway had closed because there were so many accidents. By the time I had turned around and headed back towards home they were reporting accidents left and right. The city that I reside the closest to reported 17 accidents and the city where I work reported 77 accidents due to the icing on the roads.

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.
