Tis the Season

To be planting! Specifically, tulips.

Why tulips?

Because they’re a great investment in next spring, because they’re the most popular bulb plant, because they’re pretty foolproof…

And because I just got my load of bulbs in from Holland for GoodBulbs.com! ;) So the bulb-selling season is here, as well as the planting season!

A Rainy Day

It’s rainy and dreary today, and expected to keep on raining all day.

Which is good. It means I won’t have to go out and plant! Or water!

That said, I’m not going to turn this into a do-nothing day like I usually would. I’m going to keep at that affiliate marketing sales site I redesigned yesterday.

I got the theme onto it, after messing with several different ones, which took longer than I expected. Red isn’t a good color for selling stuff, but when I tried to blue-en the template, it looked pretty bad, so I ended up with red for now anyway. At least with the new blog format, if I see a nicer-looking template available, I can put it on without having to redo the whole site!

In any case, today I need to write more sales pages. It should be interesting to see how traffic is affected.

Flower Planting…What Work!

August 16th, 2007 by The Capitalist

Current Mood:Meh emoticon Meh

As usual, I’ve only just started planting my garden. That’s because I’m usually asleep during the day, so I have to wait until one of the few times I’m not, to do it.

But it’s also w*rk. Labor. Effort. Or whatever euphemism for it you want to use. The fact is, I’d rather hire it done! But, the only one I know who plants annuals as a j*b, is the same nut I used to do empl*yment with years ago. And I don’t want to hire her!

So, that leaves me.

I know that when I get it all done, and the plants establish themselves, I’ll be glad I bothered. But I sure wish they could plant themselves…
