back in the saddle

I know I haven’t posted in quite a while.  First I was busy, then it just became habit not to write.
But lately I’ve been feeling the itch to write again.  So I’m going to try to post more often.
Quite a bit has happened since my last post.  Lets see, what to start with….
I lost my [...]

this just blows

WordPress is now blocked at work.  Which totally SUCKS!  That’s where I did most of my posting from.
I could just do all my posting from home, but my time is always limited at home, which is why I started posting from work in the first place.  I’ve gotten used to posting something whenever it pops into [...]

a little pissed off right now

I order a LOT of stuff online.  Where most people check out stores for stuff they need, my first reaction is to hop online and see if I can find it.  The result of that is that I receive a lot of packages, so I’ve gotten to know the shipping companies pretty well.
There are three [...]

Computers

My laptop has been giving me some problems.  It is my main computer, so it gets used almost every day.
First I had a problem with a new software that I installed, which apparently had a conflict with my anti-virus software, and caused the whole system to crash.  After a lot of work, and much pulling of [...]

Catnip Experiment – Week 5

Preparation:   I mixed up a batch of both Baking Soda and Catnip.  I’ve found that I get the best results with the catnip when I take the time to shake it when it’s still hot.  Here’s what I do:  I put the hot water in a plastic container with the catnip, screw on the top, then I [...]

EbN Updates – My Store

I’ve added three new pages to My Store.  I’ve decided to separate the items by their design.  So I now have the Magic Square, Pentacle, and Wheel of Being pages.  You can go to the My Store page to see the designs and go to each of their pages.  On the individual pages all you have [...]

Ponytail Haircut – A How-To

I’ve talked before about how I cut my hair with the “ponytail” method (posts are HERE and HERE).  Which is basically an easy way to give yourself a layered haircut.
I was asked to show a pic of how I cut my hair.  My camera is on the fritz right now, so I can’t do an [...]

Conditioner Only – Week 6

Routine:  I loaded my dry hair up with Pantene’s Texturizing ‘dish and left that on for 15 or 20 minutes.  I got in the shower, rinsed it out, and applied a mix of the ‘dish included in my hair color and the Pantene Replenishing Mask.  I kept that on for a while, and then rinsed [...]

Conditioner Only – Week 4 – part 2

Routine:   Applied ‘dish to my dry hair for about an hour, then I got in the shower and rinsed it out.  No second application.
Results:   My hair seems to be getting drier and drier the longer I use the Mane & Tail ‘dish.  It seems like if I leave my hair up all the time it’s fine, [...]

sleep, finally

I was finally able to get a good night of sleep.  I was so tired that I went to bed at 9:30 and slept right up until my alarm went off at 6:30.  A blessed 9 hours of sleep!  I did actually wake up at 5, and I was afraid that I wasn’t going to [...]

super speed!

I’m having cable internet installed this friday!  After deciding that I was frustrated with dial-up, I made the appointment to have it installed.
I have a laptop, so I can’t just hook up the cable to it.  So I had to go out and purchase a wireless router/modem.  Then I realized that I also needed an [...]
