I have been hard at work on the office, moved a book case to shift the encyclopedias into the basement library and put my old secretarial into the corner at the head of the stairs to act as a center for my tax stuff to be stashed and worked on. There are a few more things I have to do, but it’s starting to come together nicely. Right now I am in the process of cleaning the mess that moving everything caused.
A Cowboy’s Wife is having a contest on her food blog! You can win a Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer and she’ll ship anywhere so everyone is eligible!
Check it out, because even if you don’t win the mixer, it is one very cool site for anyone that loves to cook. I love getting a chance to visit My Wooden Spoon, because it has some really great recipes that I can’t wait to try. Tonight I am going to be making the Flour Tortillas that she has up there (look under the bread category in her courses) .
So, I guess now you know what my procrastination was for today, but I think you can agree, it was a good cause - especially if I can win that mixer! 
Okay, I knew when I found them this morning that I would LOVE LibraryThing, could not wait to write a blog post about it and share the discovery, but oh man… I went to see what their groups was all about and found this group:
Bloggers (549 members)
If the first thing you did, when you heard about LibraryThing, was blog about it, then this is your place. …
Then I found one of the error messages for the site:
Error: Rampaging elephant error. Hide the peanuts and try again later.
I really like this site. If you have not yet checked them out, go check out www.librarything.com. Very kewl site for anyone that loves books.
There are some days when I just want to collapse and not do anything. Okay, there area lot of days like that. It seems like most of this month has been like that. I can’t believe that it is the last week of January already. I am just starting to get to some things tonight that I had wanted to get done back January 1st, still have not sorted out the paperwork for the taxes that I was to get done the first week of January, and I need to get started on my parents taxes, which should have been mailed by now.
2008 is building up to pass just as quickly as 2007 had. I’m not ready for that. I am ready for the winter to pass, but not the year. Maybe it’ll slow down when summer gets here? Right now I just need to make a list of everything I had wanted to have done in January 2008 and get busy. I have one more week to get it done in.
I have been a little busy keeping up with my websites now that they are all back up to working and getting some articles written. Seems like I have to steal free time to spend with my friends, but I have been making some time for that since it is important to get in some relaxation as well as work. Trying to spend all my time working is a sure path to burnout, I know, I’ve been there and done that. So I am taking it easy this week and just fiddling on the websites where they need some tinkering.
And speaking of needing tinkering. I am going to be trying to work on some articles for this site, and maybe doing some tinkering to the theme I am using on it. Not sure exactly what to be doing yet, so feel free to offer up suggestions and input.
