I never would have dreamed that my little Squidoo page of My Flower Garden would have climbed so high in Squidoo ranking! It has also been in Squidoo’s Top 100 lenses, and now it’s all the way up to #6. Really should take a copy of that ranking, as it probably won’t stay in that Animals & Nature rank very long! Are You Polar Bear Aware has had the #1 spot for a very long time, and is right on my tail, with the over-all ranking of #7.

I’ve updated the ‘My Flower Garden’ page to include a link to my RSS feed of my Flower Blog, which I just got done posting to, and a link to my Natural Medicine’s lens, since I really don’t have many ways to make a bit of money on the Flower Garden lens. Most of my afilliate income is from all the pages the Natural Medicine lens has featured.

I didn’t manage to sell my 20 dog collectible and dog lover gifts lenses at Squidoo, which meant that the Dog Collectibles HQ Group didn’t sell either, which is ranked by Google as a PR5. Oh well, have ta find another outlet for my much needed roof.

Better spif up the joint………I just noticed this blog got mentioned in the Squidoo Blog!!

I’d like ya’ll to know that I also have 2 other blogs, a really purty one I’m proud of, to use for natural medicine, vitamins, and health articles; and a colorful one to use for my passion of flower gardening!

What’s Happenin’ Today? Well, let’s see……..I’m sore as hell from working outside for the last 2 days. If you haven’t seen My Flower Garden photos, check them out……..that’s why I’m sore!

I’m prayerfully waiting on the possible sale of my 20 Dog Breed-Dog Lover Gifts lenses, and their Group lens. What could that sale mean to me? A New Roof for my home!

I got a reply to my email to another Squidoo buddy, everything is ok. I apologised to her for not emailing in the last 2 weeks or so. I told her that it has been particularly hard on me recently to try to portray a sunny disposition – when you live with pain every day – sometimes it just gets the better of you.

Simply put…..damn it, when you don’t feel good and are always hurting, sometimes you just can’t help coming off as a bitch.

If I’ve hurt anyone’s feelings recently……..I’m sorry.

Ending this post on a good note…….I was able, thru my earnings at Squidoo (all lenses & groups, royalties, & afilliate $) to not have to worry about making ends meet these last 2 months! I even had a little extra to give my son $ for his periodic company auction.

He spent less than $100, and I now have 3 new huge double pane energy efficient windows (valued at 3-$400 ea.) for my future indoor greenhouse (to put on my roof.) Plus he picked up 2 more smaller windows that I can use for the indoor greenhouse.

I will, at some time, insert the photos of what my family room used to look like, before needing a new roof for 3 years, which caused mold to form in the insulation, ceiling, and walls. We used to call it the ‘green room’ because of the furniture and carpet. Now it’s completely stripped, and will really be a ‘green room’ where I can grow vegetables in the winter.

Just finished designing and setting up the Natural Medicines blog. You’ll find a link to it on the right hand side. My ‘master plan’ is to divide all my Squidoo pages over 3 blogs, as per their topics. You lucky people are reading the blog that will be my ‘main’ hub. Little Debbies World will have articles about my other Squidoo lenses (that aren’t health or gardening topics), and my decidedly quirky opinions on my efforts to make a living online. Be prepared, many of those opinions may become rants 🙂

The DcInIowa blog is for all my Squidoo gardening and flower lenses, and in time, they’ll contain many articles.

The Natural Medicines blog lists all my health related Squidoo lenses, and boy, have I ever got a storehouse full of articles to periodically post to it! Bits, scraps, pieces of tidbits……..what the rotten FDA is currently up to, new health breakthroughs, bunches of stuff!

Now that I’ve just about got everything set up, I can start concentrating again on getting my Squidoo lenses up to par from the layout changes, and then post to each blog 2-3 times a week.

Been up all night, it’s about 6am now, and I’m finally getting tired. Hope I can sleep for more than 4 hours.

Had a really fun time tho, I found that I could use a widget….It’s farther down below, on the right. Shed quite a few tears going down memory lane while I was picking out songs for the widget. Only things not too cool about it is most of the tunes are not by the original artists, and I couldn’t find any of my favorite oldies, rock ‘n’ roll, or rock tunes. Didn’t get a damned thing done to any of my websites, but I must have needed the escape from them, as I thoroughly enjoyed finding so many REAL old Truck Driving songs, (my God, I found Phantom 309 and Giddy Up Go Daddy!) and lots of blues/rock that had me bobbing my head and chair dancin’. As I stated down there above the song player, I chose enough songs to have 4 playlists. This blog will only let me load one song player, and it holds 1 playlist. So if you become a regular, checking in to see what this whacko woman is up to next, you’ll get to enjoy (I hope) me switching playlists periodically.

Lata Gata,

I really NEED some beauty sleep!
