Taking a Break....

A brief respite from the story of my life....

For those who don't know what I do for a living, well, I sell on the Internet.  I have been doing so since May of 1999 full time.  That means every morning I rise, brush my teeth, wash my face, get into some clothes and walk the 23 paces to my workroom/office and turn on my computer.  From 10:00 am to 9:00 pm, most days, I am in this room either shooting pictures, cropping pictures, listing items, delisting items, preparing a mail, paying bills, crafting or placing orders for more inventory to sell on the Internet.  It's a job that I love but it IS very time consuming leaving little time for Blogging, Facebook, Twittering and Pinterest - frankly, it's hard for me to do all those things as I mostly do my sites (Ruby Lane, Etsy, EBAY and now, my website Robins Troll Market) before blathering on about me or my products.  Frankly, I don't know how so many people do it all but then again, they're probably not making a living full time from the Internet.

Working on the Internet, buying and selling, is a wonderful job and one I wouldn't give up.  But it doesn't exactly "feed the soul".  So I craft on my downtime and I will admit to the occasional trip to my local casino.  Yep, I love a good slot machine.  Having just entered the autumn of my life, I realize that feeding my soul is just as important as keeping a roof over my head.   

 

  

Well, welcome to the world of a middle-aged woman trying to make an honest buck!  It's certainly been a fun journey so far! 

Till my next posting.
