About Me

Clovis, NM, United States
I live in a rural area with no professional job opportunities. As a result, several friends and I have recently started trying out a variety of work from home projects. This blog is about our experiences.

Brownies Anyone?

Elanna got her last set of immunizations today. Well, technically she has to get another set when she's four, and who knows if we'll have to give her a swine flu shot, but for now she's all caught up. As usual, she got mad at the poor lab tech, grabbed her owl in a huff, and stormed out of the office. Poor lab tech; no one ever appreciates him or his job.
We went to the Commissary case lot sale afterward. If you've never been to one, it's like a Sam's that let's you use coupons. I now own 18 pouches of brownie mix (it cost me $8 after I used the stack of coupons they gave me). I guess Dan will be eating a lot of brownies soon.

New Haircut

Elanna just got back from nursery school. According to her teachers, she's adjusting really well. She just shows up and plays with toys and reads books. Today while she was in school, I got my hair cut and my nails done. I haven't had my nails done since before I got pregnant, so I'm getting used to having long nails again. I forgot how hard it is to type with them.

I found a new website that is publishing some of my work. Check out Sarah Heller on www.factoidz.com. So far I've only used them to publish some of my older srticles, but if I'm happy with them I might start putting some new stuff on there.

Tongiht Dan is supposed to be able to use Skype to talk to Elanna and I, so hopefully we'll be able to see him soon.

Updating My Article List

I am in the middle of updating my list of articles. In order to reach my goal of $30 for last month, I had to write a lot, and the list was getting to unwieldly. In addition, the e-how articles I wrote are no longer available because the website is experiencing some major problems. The site is having some problems with keping people's accounts open, so I took down all my articles. If e-how manages to fix their site soon, I might repost them, but in the meantime I think I'll just try publishing to sites that pay more.
Speaking of which, my newest article "What are the New Superfoods?" got rejected by yourchannel.com. I did get it published on healthmad.com, but I was hoping to get a little more of a payday from it. Oh well. Better luck next time, I guess.
