I've been busy trying to get myself better organized. I've started work on my control journal and card file. I've also been messing around on my computer, getting it the way I want. Le sigh. I recently had trouble in Media Player-it would play songs, but no sound. Royally sucked. I installed a bunch of codecs, uninstalled iTunes, etc. I have no idea what I did, but it started working again. I had burned all my itunes music to CD and ripped them in Media Player as MP3s @ 320Kbps which makes them sound really nice. I also listed CDs we own so I can replace them as a lot of them are scratched up.

I've been reading a lot of blogs lately and I'm planning out some things I can do with this blog in particular, which ties into my organizational push-I want my basics in a routine so I can concentrate on my novel writing, my self-education, my daughter and my husband without worrying about the state of my house.

The Unofficial Paul Krugman Web Page
I read this and I had to agree with Mr. Krugman's points. Currently I'm unemployed and I haven't had hardly any luck in finding a job. It is very hard nowadays to live on one income. I have office skills and computer skills but a lack of paid work experience using those skills, which makes it difficult to get a position. Not to mention a learning disability which makes things interesting work wise in getting my tasks done on time and properly.

Cat Vacuuming: Where one tries to find something to do other than actually writing.
EX. This post. I'm trying to avoid writing the pro's of a Flat Tax. ECCCH. Here are some links.
Should We have a Flat Tax?, Taxes
and Flatten It, Already.
The first link is an accountant's view of the flat tax proposals, the second is a index of articles about the flat tax, giving information to both sides, and the third is a proponent of the flat tax.
