what's up?

I have been busy organizing. It all started out about a month ago when I got some extra time at school. I went through the filing cabinet and cleaned out files that haven't been used by me for a couple of years. I actually ended up with an entire file drawer that was empty! Then I headed for the cabinets, upper and lower, and cleaned out and reorganized--hopefully getting ready for the maintenance crew to install a sink. (We'll see.)

After school was out for the summer, I helped my daughter clean out her bedroom starting with the closet and ending with her "study". Ended up with about 10 bags of garbage and several piles of stuff for a garage sale. She left for camp and I started on the computer room, my closet and the kitchen drawers. I'm still not through. It goes a little bit at a time, mostly in bags or boxes for the garage sale.

Now, understand that I have never in my entire life done a garage sale and have no clue about pricing things. But! I have a friend who has and will hopefully have some time to help me out. Waiting till my daughter gets back to do that though.

I have also cleaned up my computer. Deleted programs I don't use. Consolidated some files.

Who knows what will come next!

Here We Go!

I have spent the entire day online either searching for things, creating new things, or playing. I have never spent this much time online. My eyes are showing it. My back is feeling it.
I have:

1. rearranged "My Farm" on facebook
2. installed "Google Chrome" on my home computer
3. created a blog on blogspot
4. tried several times logging on to my school website to update but to no avail
5. joined a new group on classroom2.0
6. created a page on K-12 open source community http://community.k12opensource.com/profile/DeborahHarris
7. stopped long enough to eat supper with my husband and watch our show on t.v.
8. I DID get a shower today!
9. talked to my Dad about his cell phone bill
10. thought about finishing a quilt top
11. didn't go outside for anything although the day was gorgeous

I am also trying to learn more about internet tools that can be used personally and in my classroom.

I think this is all I am going to ramble about in this post.
