It never fails to hit me square in the face, just how much I don't know! At 18, I was sure by 45, I would know everything there is to know! There wasn't that much left to learn after all, or so I thought.
Now as I sit here, typing, my mind racing over the day, the past few days and thinking about the days to come, I realize just how much I have yet to learn and how much I want to learn! I have taken on so many new endeavors just by leaping right in and not thinking. Normally, I don't think I am the type of person to do that. Maybe I am wrong in that thinking OR, perhaps it's just that these things happen to be things that I love doing. Or think I would anyway...lol And, now that I have a chance to actually do them, I am running and jumping at full speed ahead and damn the consequences!
I have taken on Blogging for Money, Scrap Set Designing/Selling, Creating a Website, a Personal Blog, and new list on AOL, and opening an online T-Shirt Design shop. Those are in addition to my already overloaded schedule of home, work and online duties.
Do I regret it? Not for a minute! The only thing that bothers me about it is that I don't know all I want to know about all of it! I want to know it all and I want to know it right now! I simply have no patience. For myself or others, much to my regret.
So, the bottom line is, I will blunder through it all, learn as I make mistakes and rely on my friends to help me out. Works for me!
Why is it that as our lives move into the middle years and edge into the end years, we discover just how much life and the world have to offer? When we want to know, learn and grow, our bodies are just starting to rebel and wanting to slow down. Our minds start to say, "Hey, I want to take a nap now!" but, our drive and lust for life just starts kicking into high gear! Seems hardly fair at all. I believe the only saving grace in that is when we get to Heaven, we won't have the restricts of a worn body or mind, we will finally get to live the life we want, in our own rights and according to each his/her own. As for me, I plan to have plenty of chats with God about his/her sense of humor and a few other sore spots and then, leave me to my country cottage while I create, read, love, laugh and live!

Bloggin for Money!
As you know and as I mentioned earlier, my blog got approved today. Well, I didn't really explain that too well.
I signed up with PayPerPost, a friend had a link in her blog, and I got curious. She also had a little siggy in her email signature that mentioned she got paid to blog. Well, I just had to find out what was going on. So, I clicked on one of her PayPerPost boxes and it lead me to the sight.
I was MORE than ready to join! I wanted to make some extra money, who doesn't these days. I signed up, really not reading all the details, just jumped head first into it. That's what I do. I also jumped right into PayPal cause that is where the sight lead me.
So, I signed up at http://www.payperpost.com/ and got ready to start. What they do is, review your blog and when you get reviewed, they present opportunities for you; things you can blog about. That is what I have really liked so far. They don't tell you what you write about, you get to choose from all the opportunities. You can choose what interests you! At first, the opportunities are some what limited down but, when you see the large listing they have, and you know that you will have all those to choose from, it's very exciting.
I look at it as a learning opportunity as well. You find something you are already interested in in the list, you select it and go to that site to do your research so, you learn all kinds of things in the process! I can't wait to see where this all leads and in my mind, PayPerPost has presented us all with endless possibilities!
Another plus that I have found in signing up with PayPerPost is that they give you the opportunity to correct your posting should it be rejected. They walk you through what you did wrong, tell you how to correct and then you get to resubmit it again! That is a huge plus for us beginners!
I hope that any of you out there that have been considering trying to earn extra money by blogging will go to http://www.payperpost.com/ and check them out! They are well worth the few minutes you spend.
I signed up for payperpost and you can too!

Finally Friday!
Wow! After a long and tiring week, it's finally Friday! And a 3 day weekend to boot! Those are few and far between! I am really looking forward to it even though it is shaping up to be a really busy one!
We have plans this Memorial weekend to go to the Notre Dame yard sale. It is HUGE! They say that it is all the stuff that the college kids have left behind and that it gets totally wild! It really sounds like fun but, to be honest, I am not sure these ole bones can handle that many people and craziness. We are planning on going with my son, his wife and the kids. We have to be there at 5am! Did I mention it was a little bit crazy?! LOL I will be sure to let you know if we go and what happened!
We also plan on cooking out on Sunday with everyone. We usually spend our weekend together but, this will be our first cook out together since moving back here.
Other than that, I am really hoping to get some rest time in as well as some time on the computer to research and stuff. I haven't been able to create in a while or finish a scrap set I am working on so, I am planning to do some of that and looking forward to it more than anything.
Well, what are your plans? LOL
I hope to get some pictures in too soon. That will be something new for me to learn as well.
So much to do, so little time!
Till next time....
