Blog Posting as Self-Discipline

My goal is to post Monday through Friday here. Short or long, whatever comes to mind. Sometimes about my shops. Sometimes about my life. Sometimes about whatever. I don’t have much to say today, but I thought for the sake of self-discipline, I’d write whatever comes to mind.

That said, I don’t have a lot to say today. I had to get some lab tests done and I already wrote about that on a group blog for dieters that also design for PODs. It is called (….drumroll……) dietersbydesign.com. I pretty much blew my big adventure of the day there.

OK, well, I did buy a new 500 gig external hard drive today. My designs have outgrown my 37 (?) gig old external thingy. So, there goes $80 I would have rather spent on something else.

And, last, I had to search one of the big box stores (did I mention I hate big box stores) for a new pancake turner. I melted the existing one yesterday. No, I do NOT know how that happened. But it IS melted and it won’t turn things so good in that condition, so I had to go buy another one.

Good day? Bad day? Well, I didn’t get to eat anything until 2PM or thereabouts because I had to fast for the lab tests. I had to get stuck with a needle (actually, two, but read my post at dietersbydesign. I don’t want to ruin anything for you.

I had to spend $80 I didn’t want to spend.

And, I had to go to the big box store to get one small thing.

So, you figure it out. Did I have a good day or not?

Oh, yeah, work, what did I get done there…see above about all the non-work stuff I had to get done and add the waiting in line and looking for the stuff I needed. But I will post one thing here now just to make me feel like I accomplished something.

Day 3

It is 7:17 AM my time and I haven’t yet been to bed. I’ve been working. Not a lot to report. But I did get this blog set up so that there is a link to the Twitter account and the Facebook page in the sidebar.

Oh, and I FOUND MY SHOP ON ZAZZLE. I don’t know where it disappeared to, but it wasn’t showing on any of my Zazzle shop lists. So, I just sort of hung in there till it decided it loved me and wanted to live.

My other blogs are all for the purpose of selling my designs on products. This blog will be about whatever I feel like writing about AND about my designs. So, I might as well share one with you.

This one is at ink.laughstuff.com I made it many years ago and it is in many of my “LaughStuff” shops. I just like this shop best today. 🙂

It has a picture of a pilgrim in the crow’s nest of the Mayflower, yelling, “HIAWATHA! I’M HOME!” You can buy this shirt for Mother’s Day or anytime by clicking here or on the image below.

That’s all for now. I’m going to bed.

Getting Started

Whew! Was up till almost 6:00 AM this morning setting up all of Auntie Shoe’s accounts…

Blog…check
Pinterest….check
Facebook Page….check
Tumblr account…check
Twitter account…check
Polyvore account…check
CafePress Shop (just the shop, no products, yet)…check
Zazzle Shop (just shop, no products)…nope, isn’t there and doesn’t work. DRAT…

I managed to get the things I could in various shades of pink, because they have to match the shoe AND still be noticed. You know, that takes while because:

1) You NEVER get it correct the first time. NEVER! Trust me.
2) It is rarely correct the second time.
3) The third time is often the worst.
4) The fourth time things start to look better.
5) By the fifth try, it is usually OK.
6) The sixth try stays (unless of course it looks reeeeeeeallllly iiiiiiickieeeee).
7) If God rested at His 6th try, why can’t I?

All in all, I can proudly report that everything (except the Zazzle shop that seems to have disappeared from my account completely) works even if isn’t quite finished. Oh, and the best part is….I STILL HAVE HAIR! It didn’t all fall out in clumps as I pulled at it. YEAH!

Today, I have to work on other things, but so far so good with most things in regards to Auntie Shoe.

Hello, from Auntie Shoe!

This is my first post on my brand new blog! Just want to say “howdy” and let you all know that there will be much more soon about all my shops and other stuff.

Thanks to my cousins and “Shopaholicchick” for their advice on my new persona of “Auntie Shoe” as well as the logo.

So, HELLO, WORLD, and LOOK OUT, Auntie Shoe is here!
