I’m so sleepy

by

I’m not sure what’s going on.

Ever since this past Wednesday when I had that medical test where I swallowed the Camera pill I’ve been sleeping all the time. I spent most of the day Wednesday sleeping- except for going to hospital twice to swallow the pill, and then later to give back some of the monitoring equipment.

Then I slept a lot on Thursday and Friday too. In fact I slept so much on Friday that by the evening I was wide away and ended up staying up until about 8 a.m Saturday morning – then I finally went to bed, but I didn’t sleep well. I slept on and off throughout the day on Saturday and finally got moving at about 4 pm. Then again … I fell asleep on the couch by 8 p.m Saturday night and didn’t wake up until 11:30 pm.

My husband had been nice and made dinner – which of course I slept through. I finally ate it when I woke up and then it sat in my stomach like a rock for hours. Sunday was a bit better, but I’m still zapped.

I’ve had a lot of fevers this week too.

Somethings going on.





Free Crossword puzzles online

by

I used to love doing crossword puzzles online all the time. I guess you could call me a crossword puzzle junkie. I mean if I really let myself play all the time again. I used to do two in particular every day when I’d turn on my computer. Hmmm maybe now I can do that again.

If you enjoy playing crossword puzzles online you can at the Free Puzzle World. If you’re really daring you can even make your own custom crossword puzzles online. Then you can invite your friends and family to play your puzzle. This could even work if you were having a contest on your blog – make a really hard puzzle and the first person to prove that they completed could win whatever prize you are offering.

If you want to, you can place the code for your custom made puzzle onto your myspace page.

In the near future Free Puzzle World will launch a Free Crossword Puzzle Contest where the first person to successfully solve it will win great prizes. When they do begin their crossword contests you’ll have to register to become a member. You can also sign up for their mailing list so you’ll be notified as soon as their crossword puzzle contests start.

Have fun playing those puzzles! Maybe I’ll see you there.

Valentines day is coming

by

Did you realize that it will be Valentines Day in just a little more than two weeks? Have you thought about what you are going to do with that special person in your life? Maybe go out to dinner or take a romantic get away to a secluded cabin? At the very least I hope you plan on giving him or her some beautiful flowers and a card.

Dot Flowers has a beautiful selection of flowers, baskets and even gourmet gift baskets. They even offer same day delivery if you happen to forget that I just reminded you about Valentines two weeks in advance! LOL You’re not going to forget are you?

If my husband were going to order something for me from Dot Flowers I’d love to get one of their flower and chocolate combos. It’s the perfect gift. Everyone knows I love flowers- just read this site! Plus if you’ve been reading for a while you also know that one of my second favorite things is chocolate. I love chocolate. I think most women do, which is why I think the combo gift of flowers and chocolates would make a great gift.

Since they deliver all over the US you could get flowers for your mother or even business clients- although not necessarily for Valentines. Check out the site and see if I’m right about their lovely selection of flower gift ideas.

Waiting for summer

I’d rather remember the beauty of these “The Fairy” roses right now:

Instead of looking outside and watching the snow fall!

January Snowstorm Toronto

It’s been snowing here since Friday, and while I’m kind of glad that it is snowing and covering my plants – which protects them a little bit from the harsh cold, I’d much rather that it was spring or even summer right now.

Just look at those pretty roses! I can’t wait until spring when all my plants start to poke their heads up out of the earth or begin to grow new stems and leaves. It always seems like such a miracle after the cold of winter.

Free podcast hosting service with unlimited bandwidth

by

One of the biggest new trends in the world of blogs is Podcasting. Many of the bloggers that I know have experimented with doing their own podcasts. Some are commentaries on what’s happening in the world, others are about specific topics, and still some are very much like the persons blog – a commentary on their family life or what’s happening in their own world.

If you’ve been thinking about trying out podcasting on your site, or if you have been doing your own podcasts but you’re frustrated because the files are taking up your limited storage space, fret no more. Mypodcast is a new site where you can create a Free Podcast that will be hosted on the site.

Offering free podcast hosting, and unlimited bandwidth, podcast templates and help files and articles related to podcasting you couldn’t ask for more. Oh yes membership is completely free.

Why not visit the site to learn more about podcasting and their hosting services.

Please let me know if you try out their podcasting service- I’d love to hear what you have to say- perhaps even in your very own podcast.
