KIM'S WONDER - BLOG -- EVER WONDER ?? !!
Archive - October 2007

~ Happy Birthday ~

My Jarrod is 23.

To My Son, I Love You.

It seems like just

a very short while ago

you raised your tiny head

and smiled at me

for the first time

and I smiled back with tears

It seems like only yesterday

I tiptoed into your room

while you slept, just to

watch you breath and know

that you were strong and healthy

I loved you so much then

you were my baby, my joy, my life

Though you are older now

living your dreams

pursuing your own goals

I still only have to look at your beautiful smile,

with dimples winking, 

to know that things are all right with you

 I am so very proud of you

and I love you even more

than you can ever know

more than life itself

You are my Son, my joy, my life

HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY SON !!!


~ I am proud of the Man you have become ~

~ I LOVE YOU ~

MOM

Multiple ID's on eBay

Multiple ID's on eBay ?? ..... Lately, it seems, the question pops up quite frequently ......

Wysecw posted a blog last week pondering why some people had multiple ID's on eBay ....

Many business people/seller's have multiple ID's on eBay ... you just probably don't realize it.  Wysecw pondered that someone with multiple ID's may be motivated by social or economically unacceptable reasons.

Many times, a blog post is all about chatting with other blogger's .... other times a blog post has nothing at all to do with chatting with anyone.

I saw and answered her post late ..... if other's were also pondering as well .... here is my answer to that question .... of course I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but this is the reason I have more than 1 ID on eBay.

Amazingly enough .... My picture is either used as the avatar for  or is on the 'About Me' page of each of my ID's here on eBay .... I  want customer's to put a face with the name ... having multiple ID's, at least for me, is not about hiding.

I can't speak for anyone else ... but I have multiple ID's because :

1. ID # 1 : started buying on ebay (did not know how, just looking for a wonder woman Barbie .. LOL )..... then selling (again, just learned to put some things on I didn't need anymore)... then blogging (woo hoo, what fun)  with one and only one ID, gathered a 'following' of some out of control blogger's who never purchased from that ID (or any other ebay ID of mine), just wanted to cause drama and hate, LOL resembling stalking, I now only blog and buy under that ID. I do plan to do some Charity Auctions with that ID in the future.

2. ID # 2 : Started a new company ..... sold the product under the original eBay ID, the company grew and while discussing and planning the development of a  new website for the product ...I I was advised to have an ebay ID the same as the website for search engine optimization. Yay for marketing.

3. ID # 3 : Made ID for a friend who is technology challenged ~ helped her sell, buy & blog for a bit, she did not care for the electronic world of selling .... she now works for the company of ID #2 and her ID is now a registered trademark (brand) for that company. Again, blogging under the ID is for search engine optimization. Yay again for marketing and advertising.

4. Another ID for general selling on eBay, antiques and things that are not produced by company of # 2 ID, so just don't want to list them with the products of ID #2 , not  appropriate for people who come to ebay through the website looking for a specific product to have to wade through other things.  Much easier and customer friendly to keep seperate.

Simple and Simplistic ....no socially or economically unacceptable issues going on with either ID .... LOL ... it's mostly motivated by good marketing / advertising practices.

Just sayin'

Have a wonderful night ~ Kimberley (aka WonderWomanKim)

Good Night & Sweet Dreams

Good Night and Sweet Dreams to all who wander thru my blog !!



BlogAdorn.com

I know it's early .... but last week was so hectic and busy with the property closing and the weekend was pretty hectic, fun but busy ....

I'm off to bed with a cup of Chamomile/Lavender Tea and a book and Sweet Dreams.

Hope you all have SWEET DREAMS as well !!

Kimberley (aka WonderWomanKim)

p.s. Remember .... I'm drama free (see previous post) LOL


LOL ~ Drama Free and Lovin It ~ LOL

Hello to all who wander thru my blog !!

I just logged back on after being out and about for some appointments outside the office.

LIFE IS GOOD !!!

Lawd, Lawd ....

I returned to 5 messages from blogger's that someone was mentioning me in some drama ... evidently accusing me of being some 0 blogger ... I do have multiple ID's but none of them are 0's .... and amazingly enough my picture is either the avatar or on the ME page of each of my ID's ... so I'm not hiding anything from anyone.

Let me be totally clear ... I am Drama Free !!

LOL, Sorry to disappoint, I have no clue who I was supposed to be (some 0 blogger) or what I was supposed to have said .... or what it was supposed to be about ..... and you know what ??   I really don't care.

I am Laughing Out Loud at anyone who thinks I am going to squat or stoop down to the level of blog drama.

Have all the drama you want, I just won't be part of it nor the subject of it !!

LIVE LIFE and ENJOY ... it's too short to do otherwise.

Kimberley (aka WonderWomanKim)

Good Evening !

Good Evening to all who wander thru my Blog !!

Whew, long day today ... just got home ....

Lot's of fun today on the Volleyball Court ... one of the schools at the tournament was Vassar, that was pretty thrilling !!

I am planning a vacation/holiday as soon as the NCAA season is over ........Woo Hoo !!!

I was thinking of choices while driving home from the tournament ..... Thinking of:

1.  Caribbean --- My favorite resort in St. Croix, Just relaxing on a white sandy beach, with a book, looking out at the Tourquoise water !

2.  Scotland/Ireland --- Tour of some wonderful castles and estates.

3. Bermuda --- Relaxing in a pink hotel!

4. Cruise -- never taken one, always just fly to destination and stay.

What do you think ??? Which sounds best to you ?? !!

May do some listing ..... mmmmm.... how tired am I ..... Gonna sit for a minute and decide to list or not to list .... or maybe just go to bed !! LOL

So ..... I had an epiphany while driving across the mountain and thru the Cumberland Gap and back again.

I will write that out and post tomorrow !

As I mentioned, it has been a long and emotionally draining day ..... I am hopping into the tanning bed and then off dreamland.

Sweet Dreams, Kimberley (aka WonderWomanKim)

Today's Card for me !

Just wanted to share my Daily Tarot card I receive from a site.....
