Sunday random thoughts...

What a weekend, just doing NOTHING! Love it. Been able to catch up some things around the house and clean. Get organized for Jeremiah leaving. When he is gone,I need the house to be organized and fresh. No clutter. Been listing and selling on ebay and craigslist. Been successful. I also have sold some coupons. Yes, coupons...is that silly? Wait, is that silly or the fact that people actually buy them. The way I look at it, would you throw $1 bill in the trash? No...then why not sell it!

Even though I have a full time job that pays great, I stilllove coming up with creative ways to make some extra money. I sell on www.craiglist.org, www.ebay.com, blog on here (www.blogger.com), write for www.helium.com, upload pictures on www.leavethecamera.com, www.skillwho.com, write on www.greenthumbarticles.com, enter contests all over the internet, refer people to www.bondrewards.com, and try to sell my scrapbooking items on www.myspace.com. I love all this. It does not pay my mortgage, but it keeps me busy and energetic. Keeps me going. Love searching the net for fun creative ways to bring in someextra cash!

Jeremiah is getting ready to go away for some training and I want to keep all this up. If anyone has any questions about any of the websites, let me know!

Friendship

Oh, the joy of friends...you have so many different friends in different places for different things. I have my AMRY friends that have moved away, my ARMY friends here, my co-workers, my internet friends, my scrapbooking class friends. I love my relationships with them all. Some have been rocky and instead of looking at it in a bad way, I have learned from it. I have grown as a person. I value who I have become. I don't let anyone walk all over me and I need to stand on that. I have gone through alot with some of my friends and in the end we are still friends. That says alot! That says that I have built relationships with them to where they can handle speedbumps, roadblocks, stop signs, and U-turns...I treasure that. Sometimes I need some space to gather my facts and thoughts to bring to the table for discussion, but in the end, it works out. My friends accept me for who I am that is important. You need friends like that. You need to know that you are not out to impress them for any reason. Everyone of my friends comes from a different background and that makes us who we are, makes up our personalities, gives us our strengths and weaknesses, and our inner beauty. If we can not be ourselves around our friends, then who can we be??

Thoughts dancing around in my head...

Oh gosh, where do I even begin. I came home from work today and started cleaning. You know, the basics, load the dishwasher, gather laundry, tidy up, vaccuum, gather trash, put away some clothes. The whole time, I kept saying to myself, "STOP, and start your blog. You need to have that few minutes a day to where you sit and vent and tell the world your story". So I did. I took a few minutes, before Jeremiah gets home, while Jacob is watching Mickey's Christmas...(someone is ready).

Everyday at work I have these thought dancing around my head. I want to get a palm pilot that has internet capability so when I start thinking of something, I can log on and type it. Half the time when I get home, I forget it. I think of my job, cleaning the house, what I am going to do when Jeremiah goes in September to CA to train, starting my scrapbook store, page layouts, going back to San Marcos to hit it big again at V.S. to sell on ebay, and starting my weight loss for the Bahamas, selling pictures, and taking pictures.

Yeh, that is alot of thoughts to carry in one day. I love it though. It keeps me going. I love to think. I love to share my knowledge on things. I love to broaden my ideas. I love to share my ideas. I love when people love to listen to me help them with ideas. I love sharing with people what is going on with my life.

I also want to start this blog on my scrapbooking for my family to keep up with my pages. I recently entered the Memory Makers Magazine Master contest. I will hear something on August 13-15!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
