Above you see my business card that I actually designed. It was fun to create and choose my own logo, font, colors, and design to match my site. It was quick and easy, too. First, I chose the image I wanted to create. Then I chose the logo design from a wide selection of logos. I simply typed in the name and words I wanted on my card and arranged things where I wanted them. There was so much flexibility in the process. I changed my mind several times until I got it just the way I wanted it and ended up with a quality design that suited me.
Anyone involved in blogging is probably interested to see what their Alexa Rank is for their blog. The rank usually updates weekly, and I’m always curious to see my rank every week.
I feel that I have neglected my site a little since Christmas. There are so many ideas I have in mind for my blog, but other things keep coming up that I have to do and they distract me. Hopefully, things will settle down and I can implement all my ideas soon. I have just started adding pictures and hope to keep including pictures in some of my posts on a regular basis.
I had a message that was left on “Contact” up at the top of my blog about how to make a comment. There may be other people, too, who aren’t sure how to leave comments. Below each post (article), there is the word, “Comments,” written in blue letters. Click on that word and it will bring up a comment box where you can type in your message or opinion. After typing the comment, then click on the word, “Submit.” I appreciate comments and hearing from you, so please leave a comment if you have the time. 🙂
Marriage is a total commitment, a commitment based on love. TV would have us think that if someone gets tired of their marriage or their marriage isn’t working, then they can just simply get a divorce and find someone new. That’s not what marriage is meant to be. It’s design is that it lasts a lifetime, that it’s based on unconditional love (the type of love that says I love you even when things aren’t going so well), and that each person gives 100%…not just 50%. When each person commits to giving 100%, then on a day when things aren’t going right and one person only gives 50% or less, then the other person makes up for it and vice versa. It works both ways. Each gives the other some slack and tries to be understanding. And on days when each is giving 100%, then those days are truly what marriage is meant to be. It takes commitment and work to make a great marriage. It doesn’t happen without effort. And anything worthwhile is definitely worth the effort.

HDMI splitters, HDMI switches, adapters, couplers, “HDMI to HDMI,” and “HDMI to DVI” are products a lot of computer techs know about. I’m sure my husband and our son-in-law know what they are, too. But I don’t know anything about them. That’s why it’s so nice to have relatives who know so much about computers. I actually have three relatives who I see often or on a regular basis that help me with anything I need done on the computer. And that’s really nice since I’m on the computer every day. By the way, if you are needing any of the products mentioned above, then you might want to check out Firefold whose top priority is customer service.
This is good information to have written down for a babysitter:
Vat 19 has “curiously awesome” products that you don’t find just anywhere. They sent me some samples of a few of their products. One product called Insta Snow Powder, my favorite, is pretty cool. All you have to do is add water and this white powder expands and really looks like snow. Kids of any age would love it! I also received an Ambient Fire Video Fireplace DVD . It makes your TV screen look like a fire burning in a fireplace. That’s neat for those who don’t have fireplaces. The third thing I received was gourmet-scented-pencils which smell like cotton candy.
If you would like a “space efficient electronics charging valet” that is an electronics charger stationwhich neatly hides cords for charging adapters, then check out Vat 19. It will hold three adapters and charge them while concealing all the cords in a neat little station. It also has a surge protector and a little drawer to hold small items.
I can’t believe this year is almost over. It’s not many days until the new year, and I guess people will be making New Year’s resolutions. I imagine a lot of people will have on their list of resolutions to lose the weight they may have gained during the holidays. I know that will be on my list. Some will be taking bodybuilding supplements, and some will be exercising more, and some will be dieting. I plan to try to eat healthy and exercise more!
Family traditions mean so much, especially during the holidays. I can think back to my childhood and visualize our Christmas tree with our family around it. I can remember being with relatives at my grandparents small, two bedroom home, all of us crowded in there having the best time telling stories of long ago and laughing and eating the most delicious food. One of our food traditions that we have now during holidays is a simplified version of a strawberries & jello dessert. When our daughter was little, she didn’t like the sour cream in it, so my mother made a special version with just strawberries, strawberry jello, & Cool Whip. We still make it 20 years later, and I think of my mother nearly every time we make it. She passed away several years ago, so that simple recipe is a special family tradition. When Baby J is older, I wouldn’t be surprised if he likes “Mema’s Strawberry Dessert.”
Jude has some good thoughts about family traditions. Click here to read more.
