Forty Dollars

That’s about the extent of our flea market experience. We made $40. And that’s NOT profit. I’m talking about forty bucks total… then subtract $20 for the entry fee and another $8 for the table we had to rent, and we have only $12. I don’t even know what all the materials cost for the stuff I made and took out there, but that’s not really a loss if I can try to sell it somewhere else like ebay or whatever. Of course, then we also got some food while we were there, since it was six a.m. when we…

Flea Market Crafts

This weekend G and I are taking the leap… we are taking some of my hand-made crafts to the flea market! In a desperate attempt to make more money, G and I have been working on various craft projects and cleaning out our closets. On the craft side of things, we have been painting wooden letters that my father cut out with his machine (don’t ask me what it’s called). Also, I have hand-painted flower pots, beaded jewelry, and decorated clipboards to sell. Of course, I have NO CLUE what to charge, especially at a flea market where people are…

Wedding Invitations

I’ve been thinking about our wedding a lot lately and wondering what to do about wedding invitations. With a wedding for two in Las Vegas, we aren’t actually inviting anyone to our wedding. On the other hand, we probably will be choosing a chapel and a package that allows people to either watch the ceremony live or either watch it for a short period of time after the wedding online. G expressed his desire that we choose a place that archives the wedding so that he doesn’t feel like everyone is watching him at the moment we get married, so…

Sex and The City 2 Filming!!

Yay! The first images of SATC 2 are starting to explode across the internet, and I can’t wait to see more! Carrie Bradshaw is the only one spotted so far, and man does she look HOT. Wearing Christian Louboutin gold sparkle heels that cost more than my engagement ring, Carrie was seen sauntering down an NYC sidewalk.So far the biggest gossip going around is that even though Mr. Big has been seen during filming, there have also been scenes where Carrie is not wearing a wedding ring. Personally, that has been the main thing on my mind as well. To…

Cooling Down

September is here and, like a miracle, the cooling down has already begun. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, but after August’s hundred degree heat, I am so ready for some cooler days. Getting up this morning, I could tell it was already a little cooler, but when I walked outside to feel the cool, crisp air on my skin, I was amazed at how wonderful it felt. Sixty-five degrees out this morning, and it’s perfection. I looked at my weather channel desktop and the high is only 76 degrees! Very little chance of rain today like there was…

Extra Money Blues

When we started thinking about our wedding, G and I decided that instead of taking out a loan or taking money from savings, we were going to pay for our wedding out of extra money that we made. I was able to get a job teaching private music lessons and between that and google adsense and EQII. we were pulling in some extra money. Somehow, though, along the way, we’ve managed to spend it. Every month there’s been some extra expense like a cousin’s wedding or a trip home or… for example, Christmas (which is insanely expensive these days). You…
