arrival of the avatar (completed thing 3)

Well, I'm not sure why, but I decided to visit my avatar one time before shutting down. I clicked on the image and it gave me the option to save it to my computer. After doing that, I loaded it into the blog gadget feature without using the URL. Miracles never cease!!!
good night - skyblue sue

Thing 2

Well I had a lot of fun constructing my avatar. I spent too much time going through each outfit and accessory, but I wanted it to look just right - HA!

I ran into problems exporting my avatar to my blog and have spent nearly an hour trying to do so.
I will try at school as I am not sure what my problem is exactly. I copied and followed all the instructions, but each time got the response of "invalid URL."

The name I chose is the whimsical ME. I love the out of doors and nothing makes me happier than a nice sunny day with a blue sky. I get cranky when I can't get out or when it is too gray or cold for too long. I am a seasonal affective disorder person - lack of sunshine takes it's toll on me - really!!!

So does my avatar look like me??? - well let's say it resembles me! When spring get's here, I may have to adjust my avatar's attire to the hawaiian dress and beach background. Oh would I love to be there now!!! signing off for now - skybluesue

In the beginning...

Well it is pretty exciting for me to have created a blog of my own.
Getting down to the initial purpose of this blog - an education requirement,
I shall address the assignment first.

Thing 1
The lifelong learner tutorial was very interesting.
The habit that is easiest for me was having confidence in myself and my abilities - habit #4.
The hardest habit for me is #1: begin with the end in mind. Sometimes I have a hard time "landing." By that I mean, it is sometimes hard for me to stay focused on an end goal because I get distracted easily and go off on tangential adventures. A learning contract is a new idea to me and will help pin me down to a plan. Flexibility is always an option but sticking with a plan is a discipline from which I can benefit.
