Typical Girl

I have to learn to pick one thing to research/do at a time, work on it until I'm either done or ready to shut that down and move on to the next thing.  I'm typical girl.  I have 546,348 things on my mind and it shows if you look at everything I have open on my computer.  Computers are supposed to multitask.  How bad is it when I confuse my computer?!

For instance... What is open right now?

- Tab 1- swagbucks.com playing in the background to earn points.  Essentially, this causes me to stop what I'm doing every few minutes to start a new video.  Distraction much?  That's ok, it's not as big of a deal when I am doing that and one other thing.

- Tab 2- Facebook.  This should really have subsections... but that'll just show my OCD/Nerd side, won't it?  Anyway, there I am keeping up with my personal page, keeping up with happenings on my Director's pages (uplines for thirty-one) with all of the Christmas/New Month, Booking/Hostess/Customer Specials announcements, and adding announcements to my closed Facebook page.  Oh, BTW, feel free to join my facebook page, Seren's Specials, if you're interested in keeping up to date with new product specials, give-aways, monthly customer specials, etc.

- Tab 3- "Tag Team" website.  Trying to learn  how to grow my thirty-one business via facebook!

- Tab 4- Pudding Cupcake recipe search.  I have to bake cupcakes for my Real Estate office holiday party tomorrow.  (Oh yeah, this reminds me... I still need to make a wreath for tomorrow too!  Gahhh!)  I made some last year for Hubby's work using peppermint-flavored cupcakes that got good reviews.  So of course I forgot how I did it and apparently did not write down the recipe.  Because... y'know... that would have made sense.  That's just not my way.  Anyway, I have a cupcake reputation to keep up, so I gotta figure that one out soon.

- Tab 5- Blogging.  This actually started as a FB post, then I was like "Hey, this could be a blog post!"  Yay!

I've also got a couple of word docs open too... also working on thirty-one-related things... like posts for my FB page.  So, I guess overall I would say the main subject for today is those posts on my FB page.  But then along the way, I end up thinking of other things I need to or want to do.  If I don't open up a new tab and at least get to a point where I will remember what the point is when I get back to it, I'll forget.  I had a couple of meal-planning websites open a few minutes ago, but decided they'd be handy to keep close by, so I added them to my favorites folder and closed them out.  I'll do those another day.

This doesn't include everything I'm intending on getting done today around the house... which desperately needs CLEANED and I eventually need to start on cleaning out what will be Carter's room and organizing things that need to move with him and pulling things back out to get our nursery ready for a new baby.  I need to work on getting things priced, photographed, and posted on the garage sale sites.  I'd like to get my house organized before too long. 

Then there's the thoughts of things I'd like to do besides even that...  I'd like to find a new theme for my blog... something a little less generic.  I need to look again for online teaching jobs, transcription/virtual assisting jobs, that sort of thing.  I need to work on invitations/letters for an Open House (for thirty-one) I plan on having and it sorta snuck up on me so now I realize I need to have it sometime NEXT WEEK.  What?!

All of this running around, and at the end of the day, how much gets accomplished?  A lot of times, I overwhelm myself so much that I end up not getting anything done because I just CONFUSE myself with what to do next.

Top priority is Organization.  Not only my house, but my mind and my train of thought.  Focus.  Hahahaha!  Funny.

With all that said, it's time to put everything aside and sit down with Boogie to get him down for a nap.

Pinterest- Nice Try.

I'm a Pinterest girl.  I love pinning.  My favorite categories are craftiness, health & beauty (because I swear one day really soon, I'm cutting my hair!), food, and looking for ideas for building my thirty-one business.  Occasionally, I try things out.  I thought I'd offer some feedback.

Obviously a health and beauty find... I found one that says to use baby oil gel to shave your legs.  I found there were some good and some very bad sides to this one.  Maybe it was just me not thinking (obviously), but I thought I'd offer a few words of advice.  It definitely made my legs smooth and I didn't have any razor burn (which is usually an issue for me, and never fun).  It also seemed to last longer than normal before it was time to do it again.  But maybe that's just me too. 

So what's wrong?  I got a call from my husband after he left for work to warn me to be careful in the shower because it was "slick as snot", and added he assumed it was due to the new addition to the shower- referring to the bottle of baby oil gel.  So, if you have a stand-up shower, you might want to think about maybe attempting this at the sink instead.  It would probably have a similar effect in the bathtub too. 

I do plan on using this method again, with a few changes.  I will probably sit on the side of our garden tub and use a small white foot tub (is that what it's called?!) to clean out my razor.  I'm just not talented at shaving at the sink... attempting to balance with one leg up that high.  Let alone the idea of a sharp object in my hand at the same time!  I can do it in the shower because we have a small foot rest that allows for a much easier time.

Anyway, perhaps give it a try.  I was satisfied with the effects on my legs, just not on my shower.  Just be careful and remember that baby oil is not necessarily what you want to have at the bottom of your stand-up shower!
