De-Cluttering My Life

We are almost done moving, so maybe this weekend I will be able to sit down and type up all the things that have happened this week. I miss all my blogging friends, and even though I didn't think I would, I miss dropping ecards. I think when I finally find the time to get back to my old routine, I am going to clean up my computer, just like I de-cluttered my house when we moved. There are so many things that I can condense. For instance, I have several different emails. I have one for my crafts, one for facebook, one for each of the kids facebooks, one on aol that I never use. In fact, I think I started that one when my friend Nicole talked me into doing a myspace page, which I never go on. In fact, there is only one that I check on a regular basis, and that's my elephantlady one. The rest I can get rid of. I am thinking of checking out email hosting so that I can get rid of all of my email addresses, and put everything into one.

I just have to think of a cute address to use. I love my elephantlady one, but think I need something a little more mature, especially for my "work" sites. Maybe something involving my actual name.

I'll have to think about it.

Three Men On A Hike

I got this in an email from my dad, and think it's pretty funny...

Three men were hiking through the forest when they came upon a large raging, violent river. Needing to get to the other side, the first man prayed,

"God, please give me the strength to cross the river".

Poof...God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice.

After witnessing that, the second man prayed,

"God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river".

Poof...God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs, and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once.

Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed,

"God, please give me the strength, the tools, and the intelligence to cross the river".

Poof...He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one hundred yards upstream, and walked across the bridge.

Ha! I love it!

New Email Account

How many email accounts do you have? Are they all on the same site, or do you use multiple email sites? I will admit to having more than one account on more than one site. However, there is only one that I check daily, and I consider that one my main one. I have another that I use when I fill out forms for coupons and free stuff, and I have another I set up simply to use their instant messaging. The main email I use is on a site that is simple to use, but lately they have been "losing" some of my mail. People will tell me they have sent me something, but I just can not find it. I check the junk and spam folders, but never find what I'm looking for. This has led me to finding a new place to have email.
I wanted a site that is easy to use, and takes my privacy seriously. On the site I use now, I am constantly receiving emails from companies wanting to enlarge my penis and sexy girls who want to chat. I was not aware that I was a man, but whatever. I want a email account that I can trust not to put those things in my inbox.

I found privacyharbor.com, and am pretty impressed with what they have to offer. They have free email accounts, with the option of upgrading. You can see when an email you sent has been read, and you can retract massages you sent by mistake. It is easy to use, and they offer both phone and chat support if you need it. You can Get your Free Private Email now at PrivacyHarbor.com.

Tequila & Salt (or lemonade)

I received this from my sister in an email. Thought I would pass it along.This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it is 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received.
Forget about the rude remarks.A
nd always remember....when life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt, and call me over. (since I don't drink, I'll just make lemonade)
Good friends are like stars......you can't always see them, but you know they are always there.
"Whenever God closes a door, He always opens another" even though sometimes it's hell in the hallway.
I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm alive than a whole truck load when I'm gone.
