Gmail Made More Templates? What About for Blogger?
I think that's great, but what happened to the template I chose for this one? I ended up with the old, plain, basic one. Which is fine, it'll work, but I clicked on another one. I had chosen 'Picture Window' by Josh Peterson. But unless you're seeing something else, there was a glitch somewhere. I'll figure it out. 'Picture Window' wasn't one of the five new ones in the post I read, though, on the Gmail Blog, because it's for Gmail, not Blogger. But out of the five they listed, I think I like the last one the best, if they made it for Blogger (hint hint) but that would be for another type of blog (not this one), like my son's homeschool blog (that I desperately need to post in, by the way). Very 'unprofessional' as they wrote, but I think it's also very cool, very artistic, and very outside the box. Perfect for our homeschool. So how about it? Can we ever get the same themes for Gmail as we do for Blogger, and vice versa? Please?

My Latest Take on Working from Home
Providing guided tours in Bolivia is my latest idea. It's something I can tailor exactly how I want, and from my state, Indiana, there is no licensing. I don't have to register anything with the state, and when I turn a profit, that's when I get to file taxes on it. Until then, it's only a hobby. I'm a single mom, almost 44 years old, and have already been to Bolivia once. The first tour I am giving will cover the same route my son and I took ourselves. It was an absolute thrill to be there, and very liberating, on many levels.
I guess this post is two secrets in one. With being a guide, I'm going to make some mistakes, I know I will, but I'm willing to try. That is what so many posts I have been reading about on Bnet have been about lately. Go out there and TRY. Even if you fail, you've still learned, as long as you kept your eyes open. One post was about how you can't really have success without having at least some failure mixed in. I think that's true, but I still want to keep failure to a minimum, a very low minimum, I might add. The other secret is that I'd like this first trip to be mainly women, or couples, single moms, older women like me who don't feel it's necessary to 'grow up' to be mature and responsible, younger girls who want to do something before college, or while taking a semester off... Those early grads are quite welcome, too, by the way. This would be a great vacation alternative to Florida, even though we are leaving from Miami, a nice little trip way off the beaten path, and yes, it is safe there, no more unsafe than anywhere else you might go. You do have to take in the fact that the USA government is upset with Bolivia's Evo (the president there) position on growing coca, which they've done for forever, and don't see a reason to quit. The USA government isn't too happy about it, and it shows.
Like I said, I'm almost 44, and going to Bolivia was the most fantastic thing I've ever done, besides having my kids, of course! We loved it there, and we'd love to show others how beautiful 'somewhere else' can be. If you are interested, you can look at our other website here.
