Getting something done! Ok not really!
I guess that since they are prosecuting users of Kazaa and other Peer2Peer users I need to quit downloading music. I Know I know there is a very very large controversy about the whole thing. I am not downloading music to burn and sell, I am not downloading any full length CDs I am not downloading movies. Just songs from here and there ones that are on the radio to play while I work on my computer. They are for my personal use and I would in no way shape or form went out and bought them, I just like the uninterrupted music that I can�t get on the radio. I hate "talky" DJs they drive me up a wall I will listen to advertisements and the weather but other than that if you aren�t telling me the title & artist of the song "shut the heck up I say!!" It is the stupid DJs that talk about their cats and just stupid stuff that drive me nuts if I wanted to listen to people talk then I would listen to talk radio. HUMM now there is an idea. So I download MP3s to burn to cds to toss in my computer or dvd player to listen to uninterrupted music. I am not even listening to stuff that is real current some of my stuff you can�t find on the radio anymore. **they took that nice station off and put a hard rock there� grrrr..*** ***Now that was a rant!!*** The whole point is I tried to burn a cd today and can�t for some reason I am getting errors and I don�t understand why. GRRRRR!! I thought I burnt a cd it told me I did then it wouldn�t play and of course another lesson learned the hard way. I had already deleted all the waves and mp3�s of those songs before I realized that I didn�t actually burn them. Sooo those are now gone, luckily I realized this before I deleted the next set. I�m not sure what to do these particular errors are telling me that the device is having trouble. I am thinking it might be a hardware problem. Which scares me. Right now it is holding the cd I have in there hostage and won�t let it out. HUMM it will shut down if I reboot. I guess it wouldn�t be a big deal if I had enough hard drive space to keep all these just to listen too. Boy do I want a new computer I wish Dell would come up with something worthwhile as a freebee.

Alrighty enough ranting, I could whine all day like that, but since I am trying BUILD my reader list I think I should move onto something more productive. **which brings to mind house cleaning and finishing the data base for the shop.. ohh wait this is my day off am I supposed to be productive???**

You would all be very proud of me I have decided that since I have been losing client info cards left and right I need to get them all into an easy to use database on my computer to have access to them when I need them. I have been just thumbing through a stack of index cards that are about 4 in thick to find who I am looking for, they weren�t even in alphabetical order or anything, as a matter of fact some of the people who had more than one card they got separated. Which is very very bad, since I hate guessing what perm or color to put on the person. So since I only had a couple people on the book in the afternoon I began to enter all the data in my new data base. The more I think about it, I am thinking this will be absolutely lovely to look up names and phone numbers. Whaa who!! I have it almost finished I still have a stack of cards about three/fourths of an inch thick to do but I hope to get those done today. Then I have a nice easy access information. That is all I did yesterday. Yikes! I am not sure I could be a data entry person 40 hr a week. I was amazed at how tired I was when I got done about the time my clients got here and I had only been at it for a few maybe 4 hours.

Today I had planned to get some scrapbooking done, and I still might since this is rather early for me. I never went back to bed after the kids got on the bus, instead I called my friend who I have talked to for ages. She is soo busy working two jobs and is not home much. We had a nice visit.


Yesterday my sister in law called and told me that she passed my condolence on to a high school friend who�s mother passed away last weekend. As we were talking she found her name phone number and address so I could send her a card. They, her and her 3 siblings, are now orphans. Funny you don�t think about being orphaned at 30 or 40, or after you are out on your own, but in reality when your parents pass on you are indeed an orphan.

We were talking about this, and she said that was something that she thought when her mother had passed away a couple years ago. She said she felt alone and disconnected, I am sure that is exactly how a child feels when for whatever reason they don�t have their parents anymore. I am thinking I will feel that way when my mom goes since we are so close. Speaking of that I had a good time just spending time with her last Monday. It will be sad when I can�t get those warm and fuzzy feelings about the time we spend together when she is gone. Like they say enjoy what you can today and worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes.


Today is a beautiful fall day, I am thinking I might get out there and do some work in my iris bed since they need redone cause they are too full. I don�t know where to put them though since where the extras are now they will have to be moved since I am planning on tearing down Nite�s old kennel. So I am at a loss as to where to put them. I suppose I could advertise them in the paper and see if I can get any bites on them. They are beautiful hybrid giant bloom flowers. If anyone would like some just let me know and if you�ll pay for shipping I will be happy to see what I have to do to ship them to you. I am not sure I posted a photo. Here is one just in case I didn�t.

This is ever toward the end of the season. They seem to multiply like weeds. My mom and cousin went together to purchase 12 original bulbs and I remember they were really expensive so they each got 6 and now we have more than we could ever want. They are peach, and white and light blue. I don�t know what to do with them so if you want some you will get them the way I did.. hehe as they are not knowing until they bloom.

I guess if I do plan on getting something done today **now that I am inspired** I should get off my duff and get busy.


Always remember and never forget� you can�t get anything done if you don�t start it.
