But my other passion is crafting. I’ve been a soaper for years, and had a company name that I got tired of. It had soap in title and really limited my product line. So after a lot of meditation and prayers, I came up with The Pampered Goddess. Registered the domain, got the DBA, then went to set up an eBay account, and it was taken, lol. So I added Magickal Shop, set up my wiccan blog up on The Pampered Goddess, and my store up on The Pampered Goddess Magickal Shop.

See, I believe strongly that all women are goddesses. And we deserve to be treated as such. It is one of the reason that I specialize in porn that has a lot of kissing, touching, licking and romance, but still leaves in the steamy sex bits too.

So I’m developing a product line that is a blend of all natural body butter, organic soaps, and will have essential oils for rituals, and dressing candles with. I also spent the morning shopping for stones, and I’m going to have some really cool rose quartz wands when they come in. I’ll have to take a picture of my office and post it some time, I LOVE crystals and stones. I have 5 crystals right now on my monitor stands, and the shelf behind me I bet has two dozen various stones that I’ve found or bought decorating it.

It is wonderful to be able to make money at what you love. I hope that everyone who finds my little corners of the world is so blessed in their life to be able to do that too.

Unfortunately, I got impatient and turned it up to high, and the milk separated from the tomatoes.  It was thin, so I just kept cooking it.  I cooked it on low almost 24 hours, and when I tasted it this morning, it tasted really good…it is just the consistency of hamburger helper mix, lots of little crumbles. (It is amazing I remember what that is even like, as it has been since 1983 that I had red meat, lol).

Next time, I’ll cook it just on low.  I think it also would have helped if I’d of had a juicer, instead of a blender, and didn’t have to add water to the fruit to get it to whip up.

My next project, sun dried tomatoes.  Just have to get a food dehydrator.

So inter spaced with my porn posts, I’m going to give you more of an idea of my life.

The day after the Dow Jones fell over 700 points the first time, my sales were about $5.00 for the day.  Now given I am 100% self employed, I panicked.  Unlike some in this industry, who have spouses who might have a job offline, I don’t.  My husband and I spread our time between our adult sites, and some craft things we do at local craft fairs.  $5.00 a day will not pay the mortgage, so I doubled up on the time spent on promoting my porn.

It has paid off.   My sales ended up in September being just slightly down from August despite about a week of very slow sales.  And so far this month, they are looking like they will be back on track to improve slightly over last month.

Porn, thankfully, is one industry that tends to be recession resistant.  When people can’t spend money on gas to take trips, and costs of everything is rising higher and higher because of transportation costs of getting your physical goods to you, porn prices have stayed stable, or gone down slightly.  So you are getting more bang for your buck in porn as an entertainment source, then almost anything else.  That is good news to those of us who make a living at this.

I’m not getting rich in porn, in fact I barely cover my bills with a little extra for food and necessary expenses.  I don’t live in a lavish home, or travel around the world.  I grow organic veggies in a backyard garden to save money, and ride a little 49cc scooter whenever possible to save on gas prices.  Splurging to me is being able to buy a DVD to watch with my hubby.    In other words, I’m like a lot of Americans in the lower middle class bracket who hope the next president helps us with health care costs, and reduced taxes.

So I wish to say for all the surfers who have signed up for adult sites I promote on my blog.  Thanks.  I really appreciate it.  Your support keeps me going, keeps food on my table, and gas in my scooter tank.  Support the economy, buy porn!

See all the thin-but-hot sex photos at For The Girls – top quality women’s erotica.

But some of the guys they have doing the landscaping and building are HUNKS.  In these pics, Lisa comes home to find the hunky landscaper shoveling gravel.  Hmmmm, shovel or hot sex?

I’ve never just had sex with a stranger, but I admit, it is a hot fantasy, and this hunky guy looks like he would have the strength to try all kinds of positions.  See all the hot pics in this series at our site Steamy Erotica For Her!

I squished my way through the clay soil and got it turned off, but wow did we have a lot of water.This is where the hose broke, my hubby had already replaced it by the time I got the picture taken.  As you can see we have a small hill between the garage and the garden (left over from when they built up the pad for the garage, which was built after we bought the house) and we had a mini waterfall over the bluff into the backyard where all my tomatoes are planted.  Fortunately, it didn’t flood them.  The part that worried me though was it flooded the greenhouse.  When I looked over and saw this, I was hoping it wouldn’t just sink into the ground.  See my part of the country is an old lake bottom, and the soil can settle, well, a LOT if you leave water on it like this.  The inside was pretty flooded, the water was about 3″ deep, but only about 1/2 way back into the greenhouse.  I’m planning on building lettuce boxes on the floor on each side, and I’m glad they were not already in place when this happened. 

We are getting ready to go to a convention for 2 days in July, and we are glad this happend now, and not then.  I can’t even imagine how bad this would have been if it had gone a few days.  Our backyard is privacy fenced, so it would have had to flood a LOT before the neighbors even noticed it behind us, and we have no neighbors on either side of us for an acre.

Thankfully, this morning everything is ok.  I was able to walk in the greenhouse to water everything without squishing into the dirt (like I did last night), and the pond is gone.  Amazing how much damage can be done in a short time, and how quickly it goes away.

Compared with March a year earlier, Americans drove an estimated 4.3 percent less — that’s 11 billion fewer miles, the DOT’s Federal Highway Administration said Monday, calling it “the sharpest yearly drop for any month in FHWA history.” Records have been kept since 1942.

According to AAA, for the first time since 2002, Americans said they were planning to drive less over the Memorial Day weekend than they did the year before.

Personally, I didn’t even make it out of my yard Saturday and Sunday. I was too busy working on creating this blog, a blog on another site, and my regular work. (I work 7 days a week, what the heck is a holiday, anyways?). I thought back yesterday to previous Memorial Days, to the trips I went on picnics in the park, and realized I’ve become a hermit. The furthest I went was to my greenhouse to plant some more tomatoes in my garden.

My sister though, she is on her way to South Carolina to see a graduation of her step daughter from boot camp. When she called me this morning, she said that she had already spent $200 in gas to get from Michigan to North Carolina where they spent the night. No wonder no one is driving! Can you imagine if they had drove a Motor Home, or something that got worse mileage? It would have cost them $500 so far, and they are not even to their destination, let alone the gas for the return trip.

We are a sad country if we cannot get energy independant enough to not rely on oil. Ok this is a rant of mine. After watching how Brazil has been using ethanol and has been energy independant for YEARS, it makes me mad that we can’t as a country do this. When one of the top people from GM was interviewed about producing flex fuel cars, he said

we are ready for production. We have been producing them for Brazil for years. The problem in the US is there are only ethanol pumps in about 1% of the gas stations. The oil industries don’t want to allow ethanol pumps in the gas stations, and it has been a struggle to do that.

Of course not, why would they with record oil profits in the billions? Which all leads back to the average citizen can’t afford to drive on a holiday this year.

All I can say is, I am glad I work out of my home on the internet. I’m in a very small town 120 mile round trip from the nearest Costco or movie theatre. And about 1,000 other things, but I can tap into the world from my desk chair. My brother now works from home too and telecommutes. I’m sure more people will be doing so and spending quality times in their backyards this summer instead of traveling the US as in the past.

Enough of a rant! Have a good one all, I guess that got me wound up, lol. Have a good one all, stay home, and look at porn for women. Its what I plan on doing.

I also picked up seeds for a purple bell pepper. I’ve never seen them in the store, but the reviews sound good, and they seem to be very prolific as far as production, so I’m pretty happy on that.

Working on another new site for women too while seed shopping, so I’ll be putting a post up in the next day or so with links for that.

Now these trees have branches that are fairly low, so I was bent over going under the trees. I was practing safe weed wacking…had my safety goggles on over my glasses.

All of a sudden it felt like a cat jumped out of the tree, stuck all its claws into my scalp and hung on for dear life. I screamed, and started yelling “get it off me” at the top of my lungs.

MadHatter came running out of the garage, vaulted a rather large bush, and found me on the ground screaming and it appeard I was studying the motor of the weed eater REAL close.

As he came around he found the motor had sucked my hair into it, and was wrapped around the impellor. He had to go get sissors from the house to cut me loose.

So I went this evening and got my hair cut and now it is mid back and shoulder length in layers instead of down to my butt. It looks a lot healthier I admit, but I do miss the long hair.

So If you have long hair, and are going to use a weed eater…my advice is put your hair in a bun before you do because getting your hair cut by a weed wacker is no fun.
