Frustration

ENTHUSIASM GONE CRAZY

(When has your enthusiasm not helped you?)

I wanted to declutter my house, though it is overwhelming and I could never get myself to do it for long.  Then about 2 weeks ago I decided that if I blog about it and get some friends and strangers rooting me on I would be able to finally accomplish it.
While taking hours and days to figure out where to blog and then figuring out how to set up my blog page I noticed I was eating less.  Ummm, I thought.  I wonder if decluttering will help me lose weight, I decided to kind of keep track of my weight in a blog and see if there is a correlation.

Since I was just starting to blog maybe I should blog about starting a blog?
But there were real life situations that will come up and since my site is titled ‘Inside Diane’s Life’ maybe I should blog about my life also.

Am I taking on too much?  Losing focus?  Getting distracted?   Sounds like how my regular life goes.

I am going to try to mostly focus on decluttering, but take a break off and on and blog about the other topics.  I also just decided I want to make some projects out of wood and may start a blog.    I have gotten out of control.

Stay with me and see if I can manage my enthusiasm.

Simple Mistakes Cost Time

(What was the most frustrating thing to you while setting up your blog?)

Today I was trying to figure out how to set up the menu on my site.  It took forever or what seemed like forever.  It actually took about an hour.  I am reading two different instructions to try to understand the concept.  I thought I did it right, though after pressing the add to menu button I head to my website and nothing has changed.  I go back and read some more and try again.

Nothing happened.

After making frustrating noises and gestures a half hour later I finally decided to give up and work on something else.  I go to leave the page and it says that I will lose my work because it was not saved!        I FORGOT TO PRESS THE SAVE BUTTON!!!!!

My husband who programs computers really gave me a hard time.  He saw how I struggled and all for not pressing a save button.

Have I mentioned that computers and I are not the best of friends?  Well, I am going to do this blog and not give up.

The feeling of success is WONDERFUL.  The part of the menu I was fiddling with is working just like I imagined it would.  I am so proud of myself.
