Clock Gobblers

Since being unemployed, I have found various ways to gobble the clock (waste time). Most of them involve all of my hobbies; crafting, photography, decorating. Here are some of my favorites:

Cut Out & Keep It--This is awesome for folks that like to "repurpose" trash lying around the house. There are some great tutorials in all kinds of catorgories.

Travel IQ Challenge--I am hooked on this game. You have seconds to locate different spots in the world. High scores are based on speed and how close (in miles) your guess is to the destination. The Professor loves this game and I'm trying to beat his high score.

DIYPhotography.net--This site gives great tutorials on how to play with your cameras and photo editing software.

Microsoft Encarta Quiz Page--I am the best at these quizzes. My brain is a storage of random facts and I do really good at these quizzes.


Instructables--This is a website full of people just like me...with TOO MUCH time on their hands. They have used this time to create some of the oddest things, food, art, crafts, home.

Did I mention that most of the insane tutorials have

pictures to show you exactly how-to??

Wanna build a wheelchair for your dog?

Wanna make Doritos & Onion Pie?

Wanna grow a square watermelon?

That's enough for now, I'll post more clock gobblers another day.

BTW, the job search is still looking dismal. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Happy Birthday Sugar

Today 3 years ago I went to Petsmart to buy fish food and walked out with a dog. The Huz was talking about buying me a dog, and we had even went to the local pet shelter to search one out. They were all too big for our apartment or had too many issues. I was only in the store for fish food and was followed by a little fluff ball. Second Chance Rescue made weekend appearances at Petsmart with potential pups. After hearing My Sugar's story I had to give in....

Sugar was abandoned in Lousiana during Hurricane Katrina. The folks from Second Chance Rescue went and brought back animals that survived and nursed them all back to health. My Sugar was a lucky one. Sugar has a list of issues including she has to have her meals cooked for her due to her wheat & dye allergy and also has a severe flea allergy too. Did I also mention she has terrible separation anxiety and hates to be alone (must be a hurricane thing). She gets nervous and chews on whatever's close when she is left at home long.

3 years ago we adopted Sugar and ALL her issues and brought her home.

Happy Birthday Sugar!!!
We Love You!!!!!!!!!!!!
