Thanks Gomedome and Friar_Tuck for the pointers
Gomedome has a blog about Business now and I read it constantly. Friar_Tuck has his helpful Tech Blog and I am reading it lots, too. I'm also reading Guerilla Publicity by Jay Conrad Levinson, Rick Frishman and Jill Lublin. Very useful. So, I followed the friarcito's advice and went to check out MSN's new Blog Spaces and started a mirror blog which mostly will hold content from here, some that I especially like. Let's see if I can send you there. I posted lots of my artwork photos there, lots....

OMG, ONE DAY left on My First Auction and No Takers !!! Sigh.
Another opportunity to pay the rent passes. The African Nativity on eBay has less than twenty-four hours left to go and it hasn't reached the Reserve Price yet, so it may not sell. Now, why won't this link work when the exact same html in the previous post does work? I have re-written it four times to make sure that it's right and NADA.............friar, see??? I live in Acceptance and reality rules. I have forgotten from one day to the next how to write the proper code. It looks right to me,...

Running in Place and Laughing, What the Heck !!
Another day of computer wrestling to get my second nativity, a more traditional, Middle Eastern themed nativity, up onto an eBay auction page. Remember, you must scroll down the page to the Items Selling area at the bottom of the page and then click on the Item Number of the second nativity to see the latest one. ONLY if you want to, otherwise, not. I haven't figured out how to do direct links to the selling page. They always fail me. Let's see if Abuelita can remember how to make a link, which...

In Battle of the Wills, Abuelita Wins, darned old computer !!!
Miss Me? I missed you, only logged onto Blogit one time in the past week. Withdrawal hurts. Another fabulous gang of bacteria attacked and left me low. But, I’m out of bed and posting an auction on eBay again, so things are better. It’s been very cold. My dogs are only lumps under blankets on the futon now. I rarely see anything but an occasional nose or paw. Even the neighbor’s dogs, who sleep here until 2 a.m. nightly have joined the lumpy dog blanket group. I wonder how they sleep at home...

Writing Bug Attacks Elderly Woman Causing Excessive Blogging
If you click on my benzinha name at the bottom of this post, you will see that I have been writing in many more blogs again, those which I had previously abandoned. Dunno why, just gotta talk, talk, talk I suppose. I may abandon them again, so go read quickly about grandchildren, pets and politics and beliefs and business. Gosh, somebody stop me. Is there no cure for this massive word spill? Deus me livre, as we say in Portuguese.

Overwhelmed, Over Gifted and Thankful that It's Over..............
It was a lovely and quiet Christmas. One sister was in London with her husband. They were babysitting their grandson, born in England, while his mommy delivered their second grandchild, a lovely new daughter. Two grandchildren born in the Motherland and in need of future Americanization. Another sister took her family to Las Vegas so that they would get in closer touch with each other by isolating themselves into a smaller, contained unit. We shall hear later about just how successful this plan...

Zen Breathing and The Wonder of Air and Lungs
So, children and grandchildren and parents and friends have yelled at me for years, since I was eleven years old and I was first caught smoking, to quit this habit. Well, the grandchildren weren't yelling at me when I was eleven, but their great grandparents and great aunts and uncles were yelling at me. I stole Dad's red packaged Pall Mall, filterless cigarettes and forced the smoke into my lungs, I had asthma at the time. I would sit with my twelve year old girlfriend and she would smoke her...

A Christmas in the Desert, What a Show !!
First, let me say that my lovely daughter lied to me, telling me to be at her daughter’s elementary school for a 6 p.m. Holiday Show. I raced to get there early, at 5:45. No one was there. I sat in the second row and saved three more seats, reading Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich. I bought the book for my second sister’s Christmas present, she'll read it on the jet to London to witness her newest granddaughter's birth. I was wearing the lovely earrings and necklace purchased for my fourth sister’s...

Tiiiiiiiime is No Longer on My Side, no it ain't........
Time, the most valuable commodity and most wasted of our precious resources. We either waste it by not using it, or by using too much of it in the improper areas of our lives. I say, "Profound and wise, Abuelita, and Ratz!!" to that. Blogger Friar Tuck received my cd rom of photos of my work and wrote nice things to me. Maj did, too. I haven't had a real minute to write to friends and to thank them for their kindnesses. I have been following the Tony Robbin's cds and doing his CANI instructions...

Ruandan Heroes, Clove Scented Clouds and a Dejected Count
Well, the Sesame Street Count could have gotten up to, "Five, Five Days Not Smoking!" and then his shouts would have disappeared in the smoke of the cigarettes which I confiscated from my son’s room. I had told him that I was trying to never smoke again and then he said, "So, I had better not mention that I bought my first real carton of Djarum’s?" I can avoid my own precious cigarettes like the plaque when into self denial and self torture, but I can smoke other people’s cigarettes if they are...
