Photos still not showing shop

by Terry on Tuesday, March 31, 2009

For whatever reason, the photos are still not showing in my shop.   However if you click on the title of the beads, the photo will pop.  It’s very frustrating and if that bug ever shows up, its gonna be stomped.

I got a sale via my etsy shop the other day!  Whee, its been so long that I didn’t think I ever was going to get one.  Now if I can just get some more.

Month of household repairs

by Terry on Monday, March 23, 2009

March has been the pits.  First our outside furnace sprung a leak and it took 2 weeks to be repaired.  Then yesterday, the dh is looking out the window and asks where all the water is coming from outside.  I said, “What water?”  I got up and looked out my office window and see water sitting on top of the ground where the septic tank is.  Nooooooooo, not that!

I left a message for the septic guy last night and he showed up this morning and pumped it out.  It apparently is froze up because we lost our snow cover so early this year.  At least that’s what we’re hoping.  If its a blockage caused by something else, then that means the line has to be dug up and repaired!!!  So now we have to be careful with our water usage until the situation is cleared up.   Hopefully its just frozen and will thaw out in a couple of weeks.

I need a vacation!

Why?

by Terry on Saturday, March 7, 2009

Why do major mechanical breakdowns happen during the winter?  Our outside furnace just sprung a big leak!  Of course, it would have to happen at night, on a weekend yet.  We got it in the summer of 2001, 4 years later it sprung a leak in the same area.  At that time, it was in the fall shortly after starting up the fire for the winter season.  Of course, we’ve had a few days of 40 degree temps, but now its supposed to cool off this week back to winter temps…….argggggggggggh.

Invasion of the squirrels!

by Terry on Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Ack! I’m being invaded by grey squirrels today, they’re all over the place!  They’re snarfing up all the bird feed from the feeders.   Here’s just a few pics, notice on the pic with the wooden feeder that there’s a squirrel on the backside of the feeder pigging out.
