About Me

My photo
Jacksonville, Illinois, United States
My husband and I have been married for 51 years. We are both retired. He loves to garden and read. I like to do those things too but still need to do something interesting and keep my brain active. I have been selling online since 2002. I really like selling over the internet and reading and writing on the blogs as you can talk to many nice people. I also sell in order to supplement our income as day-to-day living expenses. I have a grown daughter who owns a painting business, Painters Extraordinaire II, in Chicago, IL. I also have two dogs(Lady and Corky) and a cat named Bonnie.

Time goes flowing by...


Next month is quite full as we have our 48th anniversary and my 69th birthday in February. Boy, I can't believe how the time has flown. I remember when I thought 40 was old. I wonder what my young self would have thought about age 69. One more year until the big 70. Even now when I think of it I freak out. The time has flown but also seems like a long time. I know that's a contradiction but it seems to go slow at the time you are living it but when you find out how much time has elapsed it seems to have flown by. Of course, a week is nothing. I wake up on Sunday morning and before I know it It's Sunday again. Getting old is just plain weird. Better than the alternative though. Ha!

Man the last few days have been a real drag. Cloudy and cold - not my kind of weather. I don't know why I live in the north as I'm a hot weather gal. We haven't had any snow to speak of this year which is a blessing but it has been up and down temps. I need to live somewhere where the coldest days are high 60s at least.

I have been doing a lot of listing in my stores though so you might want to check them out. January has been a really weird selling month. A sale here and there nothing substantial. Oh, well, may February will be better.

Hope all is going well with you and that 2012 is a good year. Thanks for taking the time to read my little blog.

Until next time...

Clyde

Well Clyde has to take the hyperthyroid medicine for another month or two before we can really tell if the medicine is working. Right now he still looks just as skinny. Hopefully he will start gaining soon. I don't want him to gain the weight his little sister has as she is quite chubby.

I haven't posted for a while as I have been really busy. Every day there is something. Today it's getting my eyes tested. It is so cold here though I really don't even want to stick my head out the door much less get out and drive to the eye doctor. I can't wait for spring but then it's tornadoes we have to worry about. I guess you just can't win when it comes to Mother Nature.

I have been listing and listing trying to make more sales but it is really like pulling teeth. I have been having some sales but I need to make a lot more if I intend to pay bills and add to our little nest egg. I also would like to make room for the new items I am buying. Guess I will have to stop buying until I have more room. I hope you will check out my stores if you need or want something.

Our dog, Lady, is getting a beauty treatment tomorrow. We aren't going to get her hair cut much as she will need it if it stays like it is right now. She is so cute when she has a bath and haircut. Oh, she's pretty anyway but is exceptionally cute when she is bathed and cut.

Well, that's my interesting and awesome life. LOL Thanks for reading my posts and buying from my stores. I really appreciate it.

Until next time....

My Sister

Well, my sis is doing better. She got to go home on Monday and being home has helped her. She will do better and better.

Clyde my cat has been on the medicine for hyperthyroid for a month and still doesn't seem to be much heavier. I will have to call the vet next week to see if he should keep taking the medicine.

Man it has gotten pretty cold here but is supposed to warm up some during the next week. I want to move somewhere warm. I hate cold weather. Oh, well I'll survive it. I have for all these years so guess I can make a few more.

Have been trying to list more items and have listed a few but the weather has been cold and gloomy (until today the sun came out). I just can't seem to get motivated. I need to get more sales and that will motivate me a lot.

If you get a chance stop in and check out my stores. If not, thanks for reading my blog. I appreciate it.
