Wearing my "title" again.

Last week I gave myself the title of "Domestic Goddess". Well today I must dust the title off and wear it again. Once I eat my breakfast and finish sipping my coffee, I'll get my "rear in gear". With my trusty new steam mop in one hand and duster in the other, the "Domestic Goddess/ super cleaner" will once again reign! Dust and muddy paw prints be gone! It's amazing what the combination of rain and 2 dogs can do to your floors in a short time!
I must don the title again today because we are having company tonight. I do have one challenge though. Yes, our house will be cleaner. But, what do you do when you're going to have company and your husband waits until the night before your guest comes over to finally rip up the seventies style, god awful, brown and yellow carpet in your family room? We've been in this house for 8 1/2 years. I have wanted the carpet out ever since we moved in! Now, I think he could have waited at least one more night (he already waited 8 1/2 years! So whats one more night?!)oh boy!
Now instead of the tacky carpet, we have a gorgeous, cold, stained (from past "puppy accidents"),plywood floor in our family room! I don't think even my steam mop can transform it! I know our friend will just have a laugh and make a quick witted jab at my husband's expense about it, and that's fine, and even welcomed! I love my husband, but I don't love his timing! lol!
For now I'll tell myself that plywood is the "latest thing" in flooring and get my "Goddess" groove on!

Working hard

  I've been gone the past couple of days, but for good reason.  I've mentioned my older brother Mark in past posts, and he is the reason I have been absent.  No, he isn't here visiting (he says not even a sister can bring a "California boy" to some place named "Ohio"!), unfortunatle he'll probably never "grace" me with his presence out here, I love him though! 
  My brother has given me a gift.  The gift is a job!  He has owned his own company since 1981 (he works out of his house), anyway he has just hired me as his "executive officer"/ "webmaster" of sorts.  My first order of business is to completely redisign his company's website!
  I have absolutely no experience in web design, yet when he offered me the position I jumped at it and said "yes" immediately without realizing what I got myself into! OMG!
  In a way it's the perfect situation for me, I can work from home and set my own hours.  I get paid for the time I spend building and maintaining the site, and get a portion of profits made from the site.  Sounds great!
  The past 2 days, visions of colors, codes, templates, fonts, logos, products etc... have been swimming around in my head like fish in an aquarium.  My head is spinning!  I am making head way though! Yeah!
  I just keep thinking that working from home is perfect for me, and who knows, maybe I can start my own web design business!  It definitely doesn't hurt to learn a new skill, and I always like a challenge.  But, right now the sun is shining and while the day is young, I'm going to take advantage!  The computer will be waiting for me when Lilly and I get back from the dog park!
