Lately G and I have been taking online surveys for cash. Palm Research offers daily surveys that pay at least $1.00, and while I don’t always qualify, we’ve managed to make over $15.00 as a couple in just the past week. Now, before you laugh and say that fifteen bucks is only a small amount of money, just think about the fact that it only takes a few minutes a day and sometimes the surveys can even be interesting. (Be sure to sign up via the link above if you’re interested in doing some too.) Plus, if there’s one thing…

It has begun. I’ve started dreaming about zombies now. It’s no wonder since NaNo WriMo starts this weekend. I’ll be starting a story that I have wanted to write for some time now. Pandemic is my title for now, and it’s about a flu pandemic that gets out of hand. When a vaccine is made, everyone at the heroine’s school is forced to get it in order to keep the rest of the teenagers safe from it. It backfires, of course, and when people start dying from the flu, it’s the vaccine in their system that reanimates them. Then Boom!…

When we are in Kindergarten, we are taught that the world is fair. “Share your toys. Be fair.” As we get older, however, we begin to realize that fair isn’t really a factor in the adult world. No one really cares about being “fair”. It’s a foreign concept. It’s a four-letter word, even. A curse. Fair? You want things to be FAIR? Who the FAIR do you think you are? When my mother was transferred out of the instructional technology coordinator position and forced to return to the classroom this year in her public school job, it wasn’t fair. Two…

To my horror, last night while I was playing Everquest2, both of my monitors just went all crazy colored. I have no idea what is wrong with my computer, but it was completely frozen and the images on the screen were barely visible beyond the colors. I turned it off, waited, then rebooted, praying it would be okay. More crazy colors. G worked on it most of the evening, trying to get it to work, but I am scared to try to plug it back in today. Right now, I have my laptop hooked up to my keyboard, mouse, and…

As our wedding count-down ticks over to 59, I find myself a little bit freaking out. Not over the marriage itself. I know without a doubt that I’ve got the perfect groom (and husband) for me. I just want to make Vegas the very best wedding and honeymoon that it can be. So what am I freaking out over? Two things. Money. And Weight Loss. Making a lot of extra money is not easy, and even though I’m looking around for ways to make more money on the side, it’s difficult and somewhat tedious. As for the weight loss, I’m…

Yesterday, I hit the jackpot when it comes to invitations. Since we’re not doing a traditional wedding, we didn’t want to spend too much on invitations or announcements. But at the same time, I want to let people know the name of the chapel and the online address so they can watch the ceremony online. Having invitations printed from an online boutique or even a discount shop means spending at least $60 on 50 invitations. Since we need at least 60, basically I have to order 100,. which was going to mean spending well over $100. Yes, I know some…
