Getting my 'roosters' in a row! Wordless Wednesday

Today has been a crazy day! We are switching Internet providers etc and it's been on and off most of the morning until now. So that means I missed a webinar I was interested in but hopefully they send me a recap. I also had to handle emails etc with the phone and that worked out ok.

What did I accomplish with no Internet access?

A lot! In fact it's something I've been meaning to do for at least 4 years! I went through all my files and deleted what was no longer used or needed. I also got all the photos in named files rather than just dates. Thus I found my Rooster Shot taken when we were up in Sedona!

It is fabulous to be so organized - once again! I think it will be easier to keep the 'roosters' under control in the future as everyone now has a permanent home!

Goodmorning Sheila Anderson (or goodnight depending on where you are right now)! The store was kind of a combination of antiques and new interesting items. Right on the main drag going into Sedona. Everyone looks for the big rooster!

Anna- now that's being productive. From time to time if the internet is down or if I am watching something on television, I'll go through my photos and delete some and reorganize them. I used to have folders by dates but that was silly because who can remember when something was taken!

Beth Atalay you got that right! I've have gotten very good at disconnecting online and being more out in the 'real' world of which I love doing! It's interesting how much more I accomplish - with ease!

LOL Michael Jacobs you got me! Guilty as charged. I was always one of those kids that was organized. But when it comes to files etc that's not what I enjoy doing much - but do them I must as a broker. But now that it's all more managable it will be a breeze!

Good job, Anna. You sure did get your roosters in a row. I also love that photo too. You are a smart woman to take advantage of time well-spent when a normal option is not available.

Getting caught up with files and other mundane tasks with power out is a good use of time. Isn't it amazing how much time is freed up when the power is out? Time well-spent is never wasted.

I hope you have a great 4th of July!

Okay ... this rooster wants to know. Which internet provider did you switch to, Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886? We're experiencing internet issues often and no matter what they try, they just can't seem to fix the issue for very long. Thinking it might be time to make a switch too ...

Well it was a nuisance to not have the Internet but it turned out to be a blessing. Love that rooster - I’ve been to Sedona several times but have never seen it.

We have a huge chicken on the roof or a small market not far from my house in a main road - I have a photo somewhere.

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS not sure they still have that rooster. It was at a 'collectibles' shop right on the main drag going into or out of West Sedona (I think)! At first it was a big 'ugh' no internet but I got over that easily and went to work. It's GREAT!
