Started a new garden blog

Like I need to be on the computer more.
I needed an outlet for my gardening rants once in a while and to dispense some observations and such in a different venue.
As for my other stuff... hanging on by a thread. Going to go into the the apartment office and see what my options are for staying or moving. The ultimate plan is to move out, but if it costs me more money... what other choices do I have?
As I suspected, since I mentioned Amber and Dan's possible apartment situation, that fell through. Going to shut up about stuff like that from now on. So if I start talking about nothing happening you know something might be happening. I won't break any news until it's on paper.
I started a new online shop as well, similar to the one I have over at Etsy it's called Artfire and I like it better. It costs $12 for an 'upgraded' account that includes a bunch of bonus avenues for advertising, including sending it out to google searches. I haven't made anything on it so far, obviously, but since I only had one sale online of my stuff in two years... not too concerned. It costs me 20 cents on etsy to list an item and then they take a commission on top of that... so in order to list on Artfire, it's free to list items and no commission to the site. I keep all the money I would make. And if I cancel the upgrade at the end of 30 days, it costs me nothing but time to list items over there.
Going to spread the word myself this time to various sites and see if that gets me a little more traffic.
I can't really make anymore new ideas but it's hard to shut off the creative side of my brain. I got three ideas just yesterday and had to write them down to not forget them. that way when I can afford to implement them, I have a record ot it to follow.
It's drizzling here today, actually started around ten last night so it's wet outside. Going to call into work and see if they want me to come in later, I doubt it since it's still 'spring' and we may be busy.
A friend suggested getting one of those 'netbooks' that are being sold at Target and Fry's for just under $300. Just as soon as I get that much extra in my budget to spend.
When I do move out I will only have access once a week or so to do updates, but that usually is enough at this rate.

Oh, comedy break here to finish out.
Carlinism:
How come when you don't care about something you don't give a crap but when you have to do #2 in the bathroom it's taking a crap? Interchange shit with that and it's the same thing.
Not enough of it around so we just recycle it? Or is there too much and we don't want it to go anywhere else?

(I thought of that one, but it's something that George Carlin would have said. RIP)
