What I’m into this week

August 20th, 2008

Wide Open Wallet is my favorite site online right now to read, followed closely by Remodeling This Life and On Simplicity. I would like to absorb their skills by osmosis, but I know it’s not that easy. I keep telling myself that “when we’ve got our own household, then I’ll start doing this stuff,” which really is just me trying to justify my lazyness. Hopefully all the motivation I’m getting will start kicking my ass pretty soon.

Squidoo, Technical Problems

August 8th, 2008

I’ve had a couple days of technical problems, but now I’m back on track.

(”Technical problems” consisted of a day of not being interested in writing anything of value or interest to me, and a day of getting bumped out every time I tried to submit a new post.)

So I’ve been working to polish my skills on Squidoo.  It seems really cool, and while I will admit - I am partially driven by the desire to earn money, I also think it’s really cool that you get to donate a portion (or all) of your earnings to a charity.  I’ll lay it out right now, 75% of my earnings go to the Squidoo Charity Fund.

Okay, I’ll admit, my lenses may not be the best around.  But I’m definately going to keep working on them.  My goal? To be a Giant Squid by my birthday. Wish me luck, and if you like, visit my lenses and rate me, baby! (And be honest, because I won’t improve if I only get 5 stars because you like me.)
