Time Flies

It’s not just a saying ~ it’s really true. It’s been an exceptionally busy week here, but I’d be hard put to track all the hours.

I finally entered a few sweepstakes this morning before they expire. It’s evident I haven’t been entering many this week. My total count has dropped from an average of 2,500-3,000 (listings, not entries) to less than 1,500 I’ll have to get on the bandwagon soon if I want to win anything. I’ve also been bad about even marking off entries on an easy-to-use daily sweepstakes checklist I created.

I wanted to close out the year organized for a fresh start, but that didn’t happen. I’m still trying to “get things done” so everything else just falls into place. So I can have a simple schedule, follow it, and be happy I’m always coming up with new “projects” though and they all seem to take an inordinate amount of time

This week I spent alot of time updating spreadsheets for wins in 2005 and 2006. I’ve posted them, but I’ve already got a few ideas to make them a little bit better and will post more updates sometime soon. I’ve almost completed my spreadsheet for 2007 wins and I’ve started 2008. When those are done I’ll go even further back … I’ve actually got a huge stack of papers for really old wins LOL.

I spent most of another day looking around at graphics … one of my favorite things to do. And I dwindled the HUGE piles of paperwork and things scattered on two downstairs desks. Hopefully I can sit down and work on mail soon. That’s something else I’d like to get in the habit of doing regularly instead of letting it pile up.

I created a couple of playlists at Project Playlist. Eventually, I hope to replace most or all of my hard drive tunes with streaming music. Hard drive space isn’t at a premium ~ I just prefer to do everything online that I can.

The last couple of days have been spent tweaking my computer … cleaning things up, reorganizing, finding better ways to do things.

This weekend I’ve got to make myself sit down and clip a ton of coupons. Most of the ones in my extra-large coupon organizer have probably expired. Our newspaper subscription expired at the end of the year and we probably won’t renew it. Scott’s parents pass along coupon inserts from the Sunday paper and just between the two of us, we really don’t use much more. So many of them already go to waste and I can find valuable printable coupons online.

Gotta squeeze some dishwasher and laundry time in too.

I’ve neglected MySpace this week and hope to return to it soon. … ONE DAY, I hope to digitize many years worth of photos!

Hope everyone has a good ~winning~ weekend!
