In Case You Missed Me…

I've been keeping something from you. You may have noticed that I haven't done a daily to do list this week… There is a reason. Today my doctor confined me to this…

My bed. 🙁

I have pregnancy induced hypertension.. that is not responding well to medication. I'm not sure how long I'll be here.. but I hope it doesn't make me or my family nuts. 🙂

Happy New Year.. Or Something…

One of my favorite quotes..

New Years is a weird time for me.. I've always wanted to be a resolution kind of girl.. but I never really keep them.

This year I'm a little too superstitious to make any resolutions… It hit me yesterday that I was *REALLY* going to have a 6th child… Does a mother with *that* many children need to make a resolution? Does a soon to be mother of a newborn, with MY advanced maternal age need to make any resolutions besides.. SLEEP MORE?

What I'd like my resolutions to be:

  • Give birth and walk out of the hospital looking like a movie star
  • clean and organize the 2nd story of my house
  • clean and organize my kitchen cabinets
  • install the knobs on my cabinets
  • grade all my papers within 2 days of them being completed by my students
  • Iron The Man's shirts
  • Get all my junk on my website
  • Clean the basement
  • travel more

What's probably going to happen:

  • Give birth and leave the hospital looking like I looked when I walked in the place
  • beg my children to clean their rooms.. and they shove everything into the closet
  • Clean the junk drawer and realize this is just too much work
  • realize the holes aren't drilled and give up on this.. as I've done every year..
  • grade my papers at the dining room table.. at midnight before the semester ends.
  • iron one of his shirts on the 2nd of January and realize I was not made to iron…
  • See this blog
  • HA! Really.. this is funny..
  • All I need is money.. unless you are talking about traveling to the post office..

Category.. Categorize..= Vexing of the eBay Queen

I've own my domain for my web store for 13 years. It isn't until recently that I've actually started to "do something" with it. It's taken me so long to just get the nerve to work on it. That seems like a lame excuse.. but it's true.

I have over 250 items listed there now. Currently I'm being baffled by categories… I've never given any thought to how people have stuff categorized.. Needless to say the categorization of my store is quite vexing…

For example.. do I put Sunglasses in accessories? Do I make a category for vintage and new sunglasses? If I do that, should I categorize them between men, women and unisex? Should the accessories category be under clothing? Way to many decisions..

I'm probably over thinking this… so I'll ask…. Do you have a web store? How did you categorize your inventory?
