Curious to see what that does. It was a wicked picture of Mick Jagger. I haven't been scared like that in a long time. And I like him!

Anyhow, I've been unbelievably busy. I finally finished up with my pending jobs at DueNow. My last client was a 10th grader named Chase, who will probably be dancing in NYC and the American Ballet this fall. He met Barishnikov too, and Misha offered to help him get connected. Wow! A brush with a brush with fame. I'm the one who wrote up his radish experiment!

I taught English for science, and I took vet tech courses, but I have been out of the science loop for awhile. I had to jar some brain cells, then I was right back at the yearly science fair.

As soon as I turn Ravi's notes, and conversation into paragraphs, I can focus on the article writing that already overdue. I rarely finish anything early. I'm trying to keep up with too many things. Now I understand why all the self-employed always seem a bit crazy.

I went website shopping crazy last week. I have a Yahoo merchant site now, but it isn't up yet at www.youwritinghelp.com.

I yearn for an Internet shopping card, with Pay Pal and credit privledges. I had that with one Yahoo merchant account, then I started looking into GoDaddy.com.

They were having a .99 sale on ".info"s, so I came up with a couple more writing sites:

www.writemypaper.info, and

www.helpwritingpapers.info.

I have to figure out about hosting, and several other things. My idea is its a long shot investment, as these domains have a monetary value for resale. Some of the writing name sites lthey listed for resale / sale from $600 - $1,800.

Even the ".com"s and the ".net"s for a year's ownership costs less than $10/year, plus all the registration fees that you have to add--like Private Registration.. I can tell it's like buying a computer that needs programs. Hungry web sites!

So, I've got three new web sites, with the intention of setting up a shopping cart and pointing Internet business to me for writing and tutoring, and then I snap that I can get a web site for cheap through Writing.com. The best ideas always come last, don't they???

So I got another idea for another good site to match my wage earning potential, and I came up with:

www.TutormyEnglish.com

(actually it started at "TutormyEnglsih" and I may go back and get that one. "Englsih" needs tutoring for sure, and how many people mistype when they search? Some percentage, because I know I do.

Before it was all said and done, I decided to get one in my nombe de plume, so I got:

www.PatriceLauren.com.

And by then, I was exhausted and went to bed for a day.

So now I'm recovered, or out of the web-daze--and I need to write several articles--www.classiclit.about.com, and one article to "spin" for another job--either from Malaysia or Canada . . . and web sites to set up--lots of Web sites to set up. There's a lot of construction in my future, and I'm excited

If anybody has had dealings with GoDaddy, and reads this, drop me a line of info, will 'ya? I jumped in before I looked real good. Oh I know I need more info.

I also have a 1800 FAX number thru them now. It's an e-mail program that acts like a FAX, and you pay for it by the month. I'm adding phone number to my business cards that are finally ready to go to print.

I started building a new business card from scratch with a copy shop that's been in business here forever, and the lady has great artistry to go with her experience. I'll figure out how to share the image when I get it in a week or so.

Middle of the night, or morning now--and I need to go to sleep for awhile so I can finish Ravi's couple of pages before noon tomorrow, today, Monday. I always think it'll take me lots less time than it actually does to write most everything. So I'm off to snooze.

Appreciate comments from other comain owners
