To all my valued readers and subscribers, thank you for visiting.
My name is Jean and in my past life (before kids) I was a manager, executive secretary, a Consultant for an IT company, a Technical Writer, and a Business Analyst for a large company. In my childhood years I was mostly exposed to clerical stuff since my mom took care of the books for my dads business...so it became a natural to get into. I enjoyed it and was really good at it. The management team and directors *the guys who keep you employed* saw the talents I had and tapped into me for more than I bargained for. During this crazy phase of employement I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 
aka CFS...I thought my life was over and it really had just begun.

I had just gotten married and didn't know if my hubby would understand or be able to wrap his head around what my body was doing to me. I quit my job and spent many weeks trying to get myself together and put that nasty CFS into remission. It took many many weeks, but I was finally able to do stuff without having to take a nap ALL the time. I read books on CFS and attended seminars whenever they were available to educate myself on what this thing was and how to tame it. I changed my diet and changed my career to alleviate some of the stress on my body which really seemed to be key. So what did I get into next? I put myself through Dog Grooming School, registered with some companies as a secretarial temp while I got my mobile grooming business off the ground. After 6 months of starting my business I had a wait list two pages long and although it was a good thing, it was also a bad thing because I really didn't want to head back to 'bed' to recover from pushing myself. I kept the business up and running solo for 2.5 years till I found out I was pregnant..*wasn't supposed to be able to be..doctors were wrong! I ended up chatting with my vet and inquired about possibly offering my business up for his groomer. I didn't want to step on toes here! He was really cool about it and in the end she bought my business and I was able to carry on with life without sleeping.
Fast forward to today! I am now a wife, mom, housekeeper, gardener, handyman errr woman, taxi driver (depending on the weather it is either a Lincoln Navigator or a Mini Cooper), personal secretary, daughter, cook...well you get the picture! We took some time to add some furry friends to our family. We adopted 3 cats from shelters. Flour is white and Spice is black. We had 'Sugar' (she was white, too) but she died from FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis).
Why am I doing this blogging web site? To make a long story short..I have been researching 'work-at-home online jobs' for about a year and half and have decided that it is just not possible to do what I wanted to do or thought I could do. I found that you could make money blogging and I decided to give that a try. I read 20 plus books on HTML, web design, blogging and Learing Dreamweaver.
One of the best books I read that pushed me forward during all of my doubts was Who Let the Blogs Out?: A Hyperconnected Peek at the World of Weblogs
That brings me to right here right now. My nephew Stephen introduced me to Adobe Dreamweaver
. That is a fun software package and it does so much, thank you Stephen! I knew I needed some kind of template to startout and found Wordpress.org had many of the features that I needed to succeed and Wordpress is compatible with Dreamweaver 
There are so many new doors open since I have started this venture. I am excited about all of it and learning tons of stuff everyday.
I hope that you enjoy my site and that you will visit it often to see what's cooking and what may be going on in my corner of the world!
Cheerz 2 You!
