How to type symbols with keyboard...Coffee, Keystrokes & memory loss...oh my!

I know that I am not the only person out there that thinks that they will remember something, only to be muttering profanities hours later. No stickies, no quick voice reminder, nope...it's gone...just until you're about to fall asleep & you remember. Oooooh, that happens to me all of the time. I debate for another 5 minutes about getting up & writing it down this time or stay comfy under the blankets & just go to sleep.

I'll set up a few of these for various topics & update/refer back as more items are added. This particular topic is keystrokes. No expert here, so if you see something that you think should be on the list...write it/comment/don't just sit there! I have a PC; MAC users speak up.

I was in two treasuries!


Okay, so I have multiple things to write about. I'll try this one at a time for the moment so I can finish up with laundry, clean up, etc!


Both of them are gone at this point & of course I didn't make a snapshot of the 1st one in time, but thank you to:

12MidnightOils for featuring the Ginger pendant & eklecticexpressions for featuring the Modern Alhambra pendant (pictured - top, center).

Yea!

My crafty & design-y life



So.....I don't believe that I've mentioned what I do for a living (aka --day job/only up & running on Etsy for about a month). I come from a family of crafters, however I was determined to turn my creativity into a "career".

I work at a hospitality (hotels) interior design firm. While it's not as glamourous (or easy) as HGTV would like to make you believe, it definately has its perks. I do get to spend my day around all of this:























Note: the blue/green carpet & fabric samples are sitting on what would be a table.......this table is generally covered like this with the most current hot button design project.

The widgets work!!!

Yeah.....complete geek! They work & I may very well be the only one to use them, but I'm okay with that!

Widgets......très cool or waste of time? Side order of Russian Speak.

So I am new to the world of blog. I only follow a handful & that 's only from the past 6ish months. I've not had much time for playing around with the various features; tonight I have a worse case of insomnia than normal, so play around I must. There are widgets for just about anything you can think of, but it serves me right that I find the ones that don't work!

Pardon me, I'm an absolute geek. I had a mother that praised everything Italian (we lived there until I was about school age) & shipped me off there for a summer when I was old enough. Architecture, languages, history, art, culture, oh my........yes I love it all. So, I think that all of these widgets showcasing these things are NIFTO & serves me right that some of them don't seem to work.

Please, if anybody reads this: Personal Service Announcement for Kat Request:
let me know if the damn "listen" buttons on these word of the day widgets work.

I think that they would be très cool if they did because I am horrible about breaking out the tapes & discs with the language books.




FYI: the two kiddie language CD's in picture are from a Chick-Fil-A kid's meal. Okay, I was excited. RUSSIAN. I think it is safe to say that for an average English speaking adult, Russian is a difficult study.....this CD was geared towards kids still young enough to be satisfied by 4 chicken nuggets & 5 waffle fries. We played both of these in the car after pulling them out of the kids meal. Spanish was cool; I was full of what I call "mommy magic" that day. Mom knew the Spanish equivalent before they spoke. Then the Russians came....& mommy was a jerk. "Uh....I'm not sure what they said". Repeat & spit out something that restores Alex's confidence in his mom.
