So far I do like it - and my work is definitely taking a backseat right now. I am offering a new service - you can read more about it at www.cataluna.com/shutterfly. So far I have had just a little interest without me pushing it at all. Not too bad.

What will autumn bring? I do not know yet…but I will keep you all posted!

Previous QOTW

Have you heard of Cold Stone?  Have you tried it yet?

They are both important - but for different reasons.

Have you visited Plurk yet?  Please do so!  If you are looking for a friend you an always find me…!

Real life is not as easy as the computer world.  You can’t take things back.  And there are many times that you want to.  Maybe you added too much of an ingredient, maybe you said something that you shouldn’t have said, maybe you threw the wrong stuff away.  What ever the reason, sometimes you just want to back up.

The biggest one that I want to undo is the death of my grandfather.  He died a little over a year ago.  I happened to be thinking about him the other day and I immediately wanted him back.  I thought “edit > undo”!  Too bad it doesn’t work that way.

This is real life.  I am glad that we don’t have easy solutions and that we have to deal with our mistakes.

But I still wish tht sometimes we could just hit edit > undo.

Well - because of my interest in cooking I decided to break out my bread machine.  In November I was at a friend’s house and she made hot pretzels with her bread maker.  It was really easy so I asked my mom if I could borrow her bread machine.

It was sitting in my basement for 2 months.

So in January we broke it out and made hot pretzels…TWICE!  They were great.  I decided that they were easy enough so I would try and make more stuff.  Since then I have made:

White Bread - 3 times
English muffins
Pizza Dough - 2 times
Onion Rolls - I am making now (smells great!)

What new things have you tried to do so far this year?

You know how somretimes you copy stuff to CD’s?  You know how you can close the CD and have it readable by other computers?  You know hw when you cllose it you can no longer write to it?

I know all of these things.  So I kept the CD’s open so that when I made updates I could just get it from the disk and rewrite to it.  Therefore I could take the information off my computer.

BAAADDD!!!

I did not realize that if my writable CD-Rom crashed then everything that was on a disk and NOT closed I could no longer read!  AHHHHHHH!

Luckily I just found that out from a fellow web designer and everything I have is now closed and I do not worry about.  Thanks Dan!

The moral is:  make surre that your back up is full-proof and that you even have a backup!  Do you?

This may be seen as a negative beecause you feel you are losing an hour of sleep.  BUT you are gaining an hour of daylight at the end of the day.  This makes a huge difference with mom’s who have kids at home.  MORE DAYLIGHT!   Yeah!!
