Mrs. Lisa has a sweet puppy!

Apr 122007

You guys would just LOVE my puppy! I am so serious! Actually, though, he is four and half years old and weighs 100 pounds! He really is as sweet as he can be, though! I call him Baby Huey, because he reminds me so much of him.

I really need to go shopping for some pet supplies for him, too, now that it is getting warm again. We need a flea and heartworm treatment, that will hopefully protect him from all of these Alabama ticks – he got so many last summer! It was crazy! We were popping them off of him right and left! And we need some new doggy shampoo – he gets very dirty out here! He has so much fun doing it, though!

I sometimes wonder if we didn’t move all the way out here just for him, because he completely loves it out here! He is totally ‘in his element’!

Not much furniture in this home

Apr 122007

We recently moved into a new home, and along with needing a few things for my home office, we also need some other home furniture. We moved over 700 miles away, and our kitchen table wouldn’t fit on the moving truck. Isn’t that sad? It really was for me, because that table had been in my life for a very long time and I really, really liked it. It was very special to me. I think for my office, however, I might just need another table and an easy chair. We’ll just have to take baby steps fixing this place up! Sometimes baby steps are the hardest steps to take!

The home office of My Very Own Mail

Home, Mrs. Lisa's book fund, My Very Own Mail No Responses »

Apr 122007

My Very Own Mail is a business that is run out of my home, in my makeshift office, that is really supposed to be the formal dining room. I have a lot of plans for it, too. I know some of the things that I need to more easily run the business, and I know some of the things that I want, but, I can’t quite get a picture of it in my mind. I know that I need some special shelving. I need those little paper shelves like teachers have in their classrooms, because I use so much assorted color paper. And I need a table or desk that stays empty on top, for assembling the packages. I do already have drawers for all of the crafts and goodies and my business paperwork, but, I think I need a few more of those to really keep it organized. And the thing I really want to do is paint at least one wall, if not more, purple! Yes – purple! It is my room, office – and I know for a fact I won’t be able to win anyone over on a purple wall anywhere else in the house! And for just this little tiny room, the painting costs won’t be bad at all!

Surfing the Net with Kids

Family/Education Newsletters, Great websites No Responses »

Apr 122007

The first newsletter that I want to tell you about that I receive and just absolutely love is from Surfing the Net with Kids by Barbara J. Feldman, otherwise known as SurfNetKids.com. The site is chock full of website reviews for kids, teachers, and families. If you sign up for the newsletter, you will receive Barbara’s educational website recommendations in your email every week. I thoroughly enjoy reading the newsletter every week and I think you will really like it, too!

Another cool feature to the site is the daily widgets – I have been meaning to put one on the Bookworm Broadcast for a while now, but, you know how life gets busy! So, finally – today I put the Daily Factoid widget in the left sidebar – you should see it show up shortly. Sometimes WordPress is a little slow to show my updates.

Fantabulous newsletters

I get some really great emails that I have been meaning to share with you forever, and I just keep forgetting to do it. I also get some really rotten emails that I’m sure you don’t want me to share with you – like the four I’ve gotten for Viagra this week, that totally bypassed the filters and went straight to my inbox! What is up with that? Weird! The ones I would like to share with you, however, are really good educational and parenting resources. I find out some super cool stuff from them. I will have to start a series and start sharing them with you! Hopefully telling you about them will keep me accountable to stay true to my word and also start a fire under my tush to get to it!
