Lifes Like That

Well I have a major job ahead of me today. I need to sort through all my crafting supplies to find some beads and wires. Last month I purchased some supplies to start making some religious jewelry to sell on my crafting site and for the life of me, I have no clue where I put them. So because I have so many supplies, it’s going to take me all day to go through them to try to find the supplies that I want to work with.

This always happens to me. I get it in my head to start a project. Then I can’t find the supplies I need to get started on the project. By the time I find the materials I usually have changed my mind about what I want to do. Not this time though. I’m going to find those supplies if it takes me all day.

Although it’s been raining, cloudy and little cold these past few days, I couldn’t be happier.  The excessive heat that we were experiencing seems to be gone right now and the temperatures are quite nice.  It’s not too hot outside and I have actually been able to get quite a bit accomplished outside and in because I can breath a lot easier.  The weatherman is predicting a hot and humid weekend, but since we will be camping, I don’t mind that it will be hot.  During the week I love it when it’s not so nice outside and on the weekend I love it when the sun shines.

The one thing that I have found to be a great source of free advertising is by participating in forums. They are an excellent way to promote any product or service that you would like to promote. I started one of my own a little while ago but it didn’t seem to take off. So I have been thinking about starting another one, but going in a different direction. Instead of going with a phpBB 3 account I have decided to go with foumity.com which is a Free Forum Hosting service.

Because it’s a free service, it takes the pressure off any admin when setting up their forum. They do all the work for you so all you need to concentrate on is advertising it and attracting new members. If you’ve been thinking about setting up your own forum, and would like free assistance in setting it up, why not drop by this site and see just how they can help you out.

It’s been quite a while since I last posted about Project Wonderful.  So I thought I would give you an update.  Last week I hit the $10.00 payout again.  So I requested payout and within the day I was paid and it was in my paypal account.  So this was the second payment I have received from them for $10.00.  I know $10.00 doesn’t sound like much, but…after you place the code you then can forget about it.  You don’t have to do anything extra.  So it’s really passive income.  Plus every $10.00 I receive from them pays for one year of hosting for one of my sites.

So…I guess what I’m trying to say is that I am quite happy with the program and will continue on with it.

Since we have decided to put our house hunting on the back burner for a little while we have decided to put an extension on our current home. It won’t be overly big, just enough room for a play room for the kids. It’s not like we will be able to fit any home theater seating in it. But with the extension we will be able to buy the kids an air hockey table which they have wanted for a very long time. We never had the room for any type of toy like this. So now all we have to do is purchase the wood and get building.

Just this past Christmas my youngest kids got  a play station 3 from “Santa”.  Although it was given to both kids, my youngest son gets the most enjoyment out of it.  He is constantly playing it and when he is asked what he would like for a present he always says “a play station 3 game”.

Well it’s broke!  It’s only 7 months old and right now it’s unusable.  As far as we can tell, he put a magnet to close to the system and erased the hard drive.  And do you think that we can find anyone around our area who works on them??  Nope.  Nobody in this area will touch it because it has a hard drive.  My husband did find a guy who is selling a used hard drive out of his system.   So he’s going to purchase it and hopefully fix it.  If this doesn’t work I don’t know what were going to do as this is a very expensive system.

If there is any gamers out there who have experienced something similar maybe you could give me your input?

Finally after months of whining, I took my computer into the shop over the weekend. I have finally decided to take the plunge and have my computer get a total memory upgrade. It will cost me a little bit of money to have all this done, but I honestly think that in the long run it will be well worth it. The only thing I’m not pleased about is that they plan to have my computer in their shop for most of the week. Having been without it now for a couple of days, I’m kind of going through “my” computer withdrawals. I can use my husband’s, but it’s not the same. But to have a better running computer, I just have to suck it up and make do. Then when I get the unit back, I will be so happy with the improvements that I will have forgotten all about my computer withdrawals.

After having the kids home 24/7 for the past couple of weeks I have so much to do around here that I don’t even know where to begin.  Having two little people underfoot constantly takes away from my day to day routine and as I sit here on my computer looking around my home, I can see my glaring neglect of my house.  Not only have I been slacking on the housework, but my computer and craft work has also taken a back seat to the kids as well.

This afternoon I need to drive them to their day camp for a few hours so I’m planning on coming back home and getting some serious stuff done.  It’s just at this point I have no clue where to start.  Thankfully they will be going to this camp every day for the next three weeks so that gives me plenty of time to get things done.  Now all I need to do is get a plan in place and follow it.

When I was growing up, I never experienced the horrors of acne that most kids face. I never experienced these horrors until I hit my 30’s. But my problem is getting better. I have been using some natural acne treatment products and I have to say that I am highly impressed with the results. Since I started this routine I find I have less and less acne visiting me every month and I couldn’t be happier. Hopefully if this trend continues, it won’t be long before I won’t be getting any acne at all. Here’s to hoping!

As I have gotten older I have tried to get into better shape and keep myself in shape. I have just resurrected my home gym and I have also been trying to eat better. So far I think my efforts have been paying off. I would really rather not have to start taking cheap Phentermine or any other type of diet pill if I don’t have to. I realize that this method of weight loss may be the right decision for some people, but for now I’m just going to try to continue to do what I have been doing and see if these methods improve my overall total health.
