None of that worked out

-

 In last week's post I talked about doing some things on weeknights and some things on weekends and keeping track of it all in an undated planner I have and yada-yada-yada.  Yeah, none of that really worked out for me. The undated planner is a smallish weekly one and I just want to track things done or that need doing: social media posts, postings for websites, etc. Brief things so I know when things were done. I need to get through my courses and be ready for the new year. I have done some stuff, but there is so much more I need to do. I will be spending my break getting all this set up and ready to run. We go away on New Year's eve and don't return until January 2nd that I have to have everything done and ready to go by then. Whew, lots of pressure and lots to do. I can do if I focus and stick to it. 

Today I'm going to work some more on my Etsy store and I think I might dip a little into my Shopify store too. I want them to be consistent so when someone goes to either one they don't look so drastic and different. I am NOT going to work on creating anything this weekend, even though I want to. I'm going to focus on learning. Working on my stores. Figuring out some collections I can develop. Things like that. I want to have a solid plan in place before the new year starts. I want to know what I'm doing, when I'm doing it and not leave anything to chance. I do not want to walk around here going 'what should I work on now?'  I want to have a product plan and a social media plan. I need to have everything in place for the entire year. Okay, I don't need to have the details for the whole year, but I do need to have a map to follow. I want to also release some collections for designs. That requires double the work. I need to create the designs and then make the item. But I can do it. If I have a plan and I know where I'm going and what I'm doing, I can totally do this. Also, the collections do not have to match. So if I'm doing a Valentine's day collection on my one site, I don't have to do it on the other. I could focus one something else. So, yeah, I need to figure out what will work best on each site. Also, do I want to focus on holidays or do I just want to focus on collections. Some people do both. They have a couple of holidays they do during the year, but then they just focus on different kinds of collections. I could do either. There is just so much to figure out and decide on. And I just need to decide on it. Once I decide and have a plan, I will be a lot more settled and it will be easier to switch things up as I go. 

So this is going to take a lot of brain power that I'm not sure I actually have this weekend. I will do some classes though, I can follow along pretty easily.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
