For 4 weeks now, there has been a weekly article (in Hebrew) focusing on FLYlady, and last week I decided to set up an email account (hakolbseder1@gmail.com) and post it into the comments section. This week, I was the first one to catch the new article (I was up at 330 am this Friday) and posted again.
Meanwhile, on the advice of a friend, and until I can get a decent site going, I also started a blog, Simple Efforts Deliver Extraordinary Results (Check the acronym!) Friday morning, I also linked to the blog in my comment. After I got back from my Agility exercises (going great, by the way), I decided to add in a site meter, and in the space of 3 hours, I had 21 hits, and by the end of the day, 72! This moring, it is up to 177!!!! Wow. Unfortunately, only 2 little comments, but it is exciting non-the-less. Babysteps!!
Now I want to start working on a decent site. I have forgotten pretty well all the html i learned 2 years ago when I worked on the IGSCB site (which has gone nowhere in 2 years...blah!) So far, this is what I have. I am not sure if i will stay at this webhost, I still have to work out things and see what I can do. The format/design is a standard one, and I don't really like it, but I figured it was better to jump in and start SOMETHING than do NOTHING and take too long to make decisions.
Since there seems to be only one person who reads this diary on a regular basis, this is just to update you on things that are keeping me busy.
On other notes, by the way. Bardot is home and will go for U/s around the first week of November. Did I mention the guy (Bardot's trainer, for some of her bad habits) that was in a horrible accident??? I feared for his life. I had a great suprise to see that he was up and around and visiting the IGDCB last week, so he is well on his way to recovery.
Spider solitaire, and my awful addiction: I am desparately trying to ERASE the program from my computer, and CAN'T!!! What gives? I take it to the trash bin, empty the trash, and there it is, back in c:/Windows/system32/Spider. However, just read this interesting article on soft addictions. This is truly what I have, especially this section:
Hiding the behavior. Beware of habits that become guilty pleasures you seek to hide. Covering up the amount of time you spend on an activity or lying to others about how you frequently spend your time or your money are signs of soft addictions. In other words, you feel ashamed of what you're doing and that's why you want to hide it from others.
Well, it doesn't tell you how to overcome it (I guess you need to buy the book.) But sometimes defining your problem helps. Actually, I have tried substituting Spider (which I can just keep playing ad infinitum for a game of Literati, instead. Usually, after one game, I am ready to move on, especially if I have won. It's also more educational.
OK, I am off to work on my blog now, or, if the rain has stopped (pouring this morning!!!), take poor Bardot, for her poop walk!
