Well most of you know by now, that the funding on my grant finally ran out.  What does that mean, well it means I no longer am employed full-time.  So what have I been doing with my days?  Well, I tell you there are busier than when I was working full-time.  It's CRAZY!  The good news is I've had a steady stream of web design clients.  I'm also working on another project, the site should be ready in the next day or two... so stay tuned... I know can you believe it, two blog posts in one week!

Adjusting to having to manage my own schedule has been interesting, you would have thought working from home for so long I would have it down pat.  Nope... I spent several weeks bouncing from one thing to another while trying to figure out what I was going to do until... I found Remember The Milk .  Wow what a lifesaver, now I can easy keep up with what I need to do each day.  This may not be the best thing for everyone, but I spend A LOT of time at the computer.  It easily integrates with my gmail window.  Yes yes, I know that gmail has a task feature and I was previously using it, well sorta.  So, why is it different, it lets me have tasks that repeat, gmail does not.  This may not sound like a big deal to some of you, but I have tasks I need to do every day.  You'd think I'd be able to remember them, right?  Well no... they've gotten longer now and with Maddy spending time in my office with me, I need to really have a check list.  Otherwise it just doesn't get done.  This works great, I can check it off, then it just moves it to the next day.  How cool is that?

I'm hoping to bring to you each week at least one cool site or neat thing I use or found.  I'm really trying to get into this blogging thing.  It's just hard, because I have to so many to keep up with.

I'm hoping to give the site a fresh look in the next few weeks, you know if my free time.  So if you come by and it's down, you'll know why.

As we were cleaning out stuff in Granny’s house the part that really got to me, was that we didn’t know why she kept something or who’s it was.  Well, in the scrapbook world there are many, many projects you can do all year long.  This year, Scott and I (yes, I said both of us) are going to do a project together.  He’s going to do the journaling part and I’m going to scrap everything.  At the end of the year, we’ll have our memories captured.  Even if you don’t scrap, I encourage you to play along.  You don’t have to scrap, you could write the prompts for a week and stick your photos with it.  If you’re interested in playing along with us you can find more about the project here , along with all the information you need to get started.
