Awesome finds!

Found this really cool idea in one of my magazines, loved it! Haven't used it yet but I'm planning to. I wouldn't suggest all the liquor but the idea is super cool.
It's an old yard rake repurosed for all sorts of tasks, pretty nifty and thrifty!

Okay so another, remember the postcards I was buying and selling to make money to take Dear 'ol Mom to the northwest to see the Sequoia Trees, well I'm on my way. Actually the postcards didn't go over great, I did sell a few but barely broke even. I have recently started buying and selling pins, like lapel pins and you wouldn't believe it but there's a market for those little thinggys. Here are a few I found and sold.
Loved this Stan and Oliver pin with their names in Croatian. Also Olympic pins sell pretty good too. Here are a few I found and sold. Actually the Mom fund is up to about $50. I know it's not a lot but it's a start and I have a year and half to make more before furlough.

Hey look what I found at the open market. This handy dandy little cabinet. It's the perfect size and is gonna look super cute when I finish sanding and finishing it and add the new pulls I got at IKEA. Not sure if I'm going to stain it or maybe paint it, can't decide. Anyhow, not to keen on the glass, printed doors so I'l still thinking about those.

Other than those, I haven't found too much more. Did find a lady with tons of antique laces and trims for dirt cheap but I haven't used the last meters I bought for dirt cheap so I resisted.

Anyhow, I still have the wonking big closet in the garage that needs to be done and now I have added my little cabinet, I better get busy!

Multi-tasking!

You know what I have always been handicapped in; multitasking. I just can't do two things at one. Either I thrive doing one or I totally neglect the other. Some people can get ten things done at once, I don't know how they do it, how they keep everything lined up neatly in their heads to make sure that each task is finished correctly. I dunno. I wanna multitask but it's so dangerous to try. I mean really, cutting bread while talking on the phone could potentially be a bad thing. Cutting my family's hair while pruning a bonsai tree could lead to disastrous outcomes. I try not to drive and paint my toenails at the same time, for fear of the messy purple outcome.

I realize that I can not multitask, I don't know why I was shorted in this area of my concentration but I know I was. I am embracing my singleness of mind but sometimes it gets in the way.

For example: Blogger and Facebook. The most detrimental enemy of Blogger is Facebook. Do you know how many single-taskers there are out there in Blogville like me? Really, you're reading your favorite blog and one day the posts just stop. You wonder to yourself, maybe there's trouble in the family, maybe a physical ailment, who knows even death maybe. Nope, mark all those out, more than likely it's FACEBOOK.

I was invited to FB and joined to keep in touch with family and friends, little did I know how it would effect my life and least the blogging part of it.

So there you have it, my excuse for my long absence. All the fault belongs to Facebook. I'm pretty innocent in the whole ordeal. I am going to try to multi-task at least in this area of life. It may be a bit reckless so bare with me, it takes time to learn a new skill and this one is definantly new to me!
