Which end is up?

You ever feel like that? I do, more often than not.

Help me out on this one...

Should this go this way?

Or this way? I really can't decide.

Our power went out for a bit this afternoon, just as I was going to blog. No, that's not my lame excuse. It really did go out.

• I figure it's a great opportunity to put a coat of sealer on the light switch covers I had started the other day.
• Ooop...it's actually not a very smart idea.
• No water to rinse out brushes=ruined brushes.
• I pick up my book to start reading.
• Then I remember I should be finding paper for a custom order.
• I started digging thru my paper, only to get sidetracked by some that would be perfect for coasters.
• (Every time I decide I'm done doing coasters, a set of them sells and I'm fired up to make more.)
• I spread those out on the floor with my drawer of embellishments only to remember that,
• I need to pay bills.
• I get the bills into mailbox.
• The power comes back on.
• I e-mail customer paper options.
• I start blogging.
• The power goes out again. (I hope my blog post is saved!!)
• The power comes back on.
• While waiting for my computer to fire up, I put a coat of sealer on the light switch covers.
• Log into my blog.
• Phew, blog post was saved.
• I sit here and look at my mess of uncompleted projects surrounding me.
• I need to start supper.
• I listen to the thunder rumble outside the bedroom window.
• I need a nap.

Which way is up again?!? ;)

Note to Self:

If you would like to fall asleep before 1 am, do not have a cup of coffee at 8 pm and/or do a tae bo workout at 10 pm. It just doesn't work. (The workout was totally worth it though!!)


I will be entertaining friends all day today so hopefully they don't take my yawning personally. I wonder what they'd think if I handed them a pair of blinders when they walked the door so they won't notice the mess? Sigh!! It's the story of my life!! As soon as I'm done here, I'll do the mad scramble.

After all...




Once I did fall asleep, my dreams were filled with magnets and light switch covers. Talk about sweet dreams!! I have a stack of each sitting on my desk waiting to be completed.

I woke up to find that these babies need to be sent on their way to Iowa.

I'm just about done slurping down a cup of coffee (with too much creamer, blech!) so I better sign off, lace up my tennies and hit the floor running!

You all be good today. Do something today that makes you happy!!

Well, there goes my day tomorrow!

I had planned on able mabeling it all day tomorrow until I was informed this evening that two of my husband's nephews are going to come over for supper. Hmmmph...what to make for dinner? I'm thinking along the meatball line. Either Swedish meatballs or spaghetti and meatballs. I suppose that means I better get my house straightened up and the floor washed, at the very least. I'd hate to have the walk in the front door and not be able to take another step because their feet are stuck to the floor. I know I don't have to fuss too much but how clean our house is still reflects on me. Who knows if they'd even notice but still I will.

I was reading in the forums tonight about how important it is to add tags to your blog posts. It's how the search engines find you. The thought of going back in and adding tags makes me tired. It sounds like work.

I got busted for blogging the other day about hubby hovering over my shoulder. He read it and then gave me grief. Guess I deserved it!

Tonight he hovered, watching me put together some magnets and light switch covers. This time I didn't get writers block (maybe it was because I wasn't writing anything.). I don't mind that kind of hovering.




I still get a chuckle every time I read this sign that JB made a while back. Me and my dry sense of humor.

Speaking of weight, it's time to go feed my husband his "fat pills" (the guy is skinnier than a rail!). A cup of ice cream with milk before bed. It's my turn to dish.

Sometimes the title fails me...

unless I have a good idea of what I want to write about. But today I don't so...proceed at your own risk.


I spent the afternoon yesterday taking pictures of light switch covers and magnets. We literally have a bucket full of each. I want to spread them out between our Etsy store and our Lollishops site. Can't list new products if you don't have the pictures to go along with them! Thankfully my camera battery died before my baby woke up. I guess 259 pictures wasn't so bad! Here are some shots:







I checked in on the treasury at about lunchtime today and noticed the number of lists were getting down there. I was thinking that I should attempt to get a treasury...turns out I was peacefully snoozing when they opened. Woke up and the number of lists were back to 600 something. Oh well, the nap felt great! (my baby has been a little fussy lately. I'm not sure what her deal is. Any extra sleep at this point is a bonus.)
