So, I've decided to keep blogging at bluehost.com. Hey, I've got an entire year pre-paid. I've lost my history of 3 1/2 years (not funny), but it's now 2009 and I'm starting off fresh.

Where to Start?
The past month hasn't seen a whole heck of a lot get done on the house. I did manage to finally install the towel bars and the medicine cabinet in the lower bathroom and I got the carpet squares installed in the crafts room upstairs. The floor covering in the crafts room is an awesome thing for me and I'm thrilled that room is finally a place I can do something in. My next goal for this room is to find some cheap base and wall cupboards (about 8 ft. of each) to install on the south wall. This will give me much needed additional storage for all of my crafting stuff. The closet off of the room is good, but I have piles of scrabooking paper that would benefit from bins that they could stand up in and be placed in a cupboard to keep from getting dust covered.
I'm still smarting over the loss of a $9.99 solid oak library table I missed at Goodwill. It measured about 6'x3' and was very old and in good shape. Someone snatched it up because they were the early bird. It would have been perfect for the room and had a great overhang on all four sides which would have made it optimal for chairs and people to sit at. Oh well, if one came through, another will, I just need to make sure I get there when they open at least twice a week. That does seem to be when the best bargains appear.
The weather has been bizarre. yesterday it was about 60 degrees. It was so balmy we wore nothing but T-shirts, then the 50 mph winds showed up, a dead old tree on my back fence broke a limb and it's now perched and will need to be cut. When it gets warm I'll take out the sawzall and get to work. It's now in the 30's outside and the wind has finally let up after a solid 12 hours of assault.
It feels great to be back online!

Finally, I'm Back On
I have been using Wordpress for the past two years. I keep an account at Bluehost.com and received a notification saying that my blog had been hacked and that I would need to update my wordpress install or they'd end my blog. The simple script they set up did not work for some reason on my blog and the whole thing was hosed. I can no longer log on or anything and frankly, I'm heartbroken. I have been using that blog for more than three years and it is stuffed full of my history. So much so that I don't even want to go into it here as that would be too exhausting and it just makes me more pissed to think about it. When I tried to get help at Bluehost, I was told to go to Wordpress. How disgusting. So, I made a back-up of my blog, saved it to my local HD, and will let my account lapse in September and not renew it.
I used to have no trouble there. I could get on Unlimited FTP and move all the files I wanted until things worked, then, all of a sudden Unlimited FTP no longer worked. I couldn't connect, no matter what I did. Bluehost also would not help me with that. Instead, they told me to call ATT and check my connection for FTP there. I should be a web host, I wouldn't have to do jack!
