Tired of waiting for work

by

Does anyone else do work on the internet to make some extra cash? I do, but you know, sometimes I find that it’s a big waste of time. I love getting assignments and being able to do them when I want to. I can whip off a lot of work in an hour or two when I just sit down and do the work.


However, one of the companies that I do work for is basically first come first served and while I don’t sit here staring at the computer screen all day waiting for work, I do keep the site open from the time I get up, to the time I go to bed at night, watching and waiting for good opportunities to come up. The work I do for that company, when I get work, amounts to maybe an hour or two worths a day, but when you add up all the time throughout the day that I glance at the site hoping something will come up well … I waste an awful lot of time on it!

Yep, I love my reserved work, and of course the money I make just by putting code up on my sites such as for Google Adsense. Speaking of Adsense, I should put some on this site too I think.





Time to start making fruit smoothies again!

by

I’ve been so tired the last few weeks. I don’t know if it’s the Crohn’s or just that I have a horrible sleeping pattern. I think I’m not only going to attempt to get my sleeping pattern back on track – again, but I’m going to try to get some more fruit into my diet.

Our strawberries are flowering in the garden, and our raspberry plants are already four feet tall! However, they don’t yet have any fruit. I do have quite a bit of frozen fruit in the freezer though – some from last years crops, as well as fruit that I bought when it was in season – peaches! – and froze. So I think I might pull out that lovely Magic Bullet Blender of ours and make some fruit smoothies. I call them my Energy Drink because they are just so loaded with vitamins and other goodness.

Do you have any creations of your own that you make when you need a pick me up or when you are dieting?

My maturing garden

Muscari or Grape Hyacinths:

Muscari

I can’t believe how much all of the plants in my garden have grown this past week or so.

I’m starting to think that it’s not just the nice weather that we’ve been having, nor the fact that our winter was fairly mild. No, I think it’s because many of the plants that I grow have been in my garden for four or five years so they are maturing and have good root systems so they are just growing in leaps and bounds because they are so strong.

The photo above is of Muscari. Yes the closest one is a bit blurry but you try taking photos of flowers in my windy backyard garden and see how you do! LOL I took that photo about two weeks ago. The muscari is pretty much gone now – gone to seed actually. I have to go out and cut off the old flowers so that they don’t drain the bulbs strength.

How’s your garden coming along this year?

Upgrade computer or buy a new one?

by

I think it’s time to upgrade our old computer that we keep upstairs. I think we bought it in 1998. Maybe we should just scrap it instead of putting money into upgrading it? I don’t know.

The only reason we are keeping it is because we occasionally take on a boarder and when we do it’s nice for them to have a computer in their room. Even if it is old, clunky and slow! Plus, if the boarder or guest were to do something to mess up the computer I’d rather it be the old one that I don’t really care about rather than one that I use daily!

If we upgrade the computer we definitely need to get some more memory for it. We need to get IBM memory since it’s an IBM computer. Arghh … It also needs major software upgrades, but because it has a slower processor we can’t upgrade the Windows XP any further than we already have, and I’m sure some of the other software that we could upgrade on it won’t work either.

It really is sounding more and more like we need a new spare computer doesn’t it?

Yes I know, this site isn’t officially part of Wordless Wednesday yet, but I wanted to post this photo! I just love it!

I didn’t take the photo of course. I only wish I did. It has to be staged and photoshopped. If it is, I wonder how many times they had to drop the cat into the fish bowl before they got the photo they wanted?

Have a great Wednesday
