Auction it Off!

Okay, so I had decided that I would make jewelry and sell it online as well as maybe doing a few home shows...so I go to etsy and find that there are more than thousands of people selling stuff on there and not too many of them get very consistant orders. It is possible that they are getting business from buyers off etsy but selling off site. Anyway, then I go to Ebay and there's even more of them but the stuff people are making to sell there is pure crap! I mean really, who can't pile some beads on a pin and attach it to an earring wire?! The worst is that they bring down the "market" by doing this because they're selling these ugly beads on a stick for like $5.00! It's ridiculous. I'm doing my homework though and seeing what other free online auctions there are out there. I'm hoping at least one of them gets decent traffic and doesn't have all the fees that Ebay does. There's one that's called Webstore.com that kind of looks promising but I have to check into it more.

Dumb Farm Games...

OMG, I'm totally addicted to all the stupid game apps on Facebook. It's to the point that it could be my full time job! I sit down to work and the next thing I knjow, I'm stuck clicking on some virtual farm or something (could be a restaurant, I have one of those too). LOL! I've always been addicted to games but normally it will pass after some time and I go about doing something else. Not this time. I've been stuck on there for months and have yet to come off because I keep finding some other game to play after I've hit the last level or gotten bored. Currently I will have like 5 tabs open in my browser, all on different games. BTW: That's "me" on one of my farms...I'm such a loser. LOL!

PC Problems

My laptop is seriously starting to get on my nerves lately. I've only had this thing for around 8 months and already it's slowing down a bit and sounds like it's being over worked when I'm not doing anything at all. Okay, I'll admit it...it has taken a few hits but nothing major. I've thought about getting an external hard drive or something just in case but I really don't want to have another thing to store and I'm supposed to have more than enough memory on here to begin with. Ugh, I wish I knew more about this stuff. I may check out one of those online backup services or something but until then I'll just keep having to deal with what ever is wrong with it because I doubt this is serious enough to try to take it for warranty repairs.

Eating for Cheap

This has become the center issue in our house being as broke as we are. It's been such a long time since I've been able to see the walls of the fridge and it's pretty sad. I used to take pills for energy not extreme weight loss but I think that it may come in handy to have best diet pills to keep myself from starving to death. I've already stocked up on some heavy energy bars that keep me going through out the day but I can't really eat those forever, can I? LOL They do become pasty in your mouth after a little while but hey, it's food. Ground beef has never looked so good because we've been eating some form of chicken almost everyday for months but I really miss having fresh food. We did try to grow some of our own but not nearly enough thinking that things wouldn't be this bad. I think it may be time to seek out our local food pantry. :o(

WOW!

I'm watching Holmes on Homes on HGTV and I'm totally speechless. This episode shows him going to help out a woman who had leased a home to people that ended up being professional marijuana growers and they totally destroyed the house. You hear about these kind of raids going on but you never fully understand what happens to the victim/landloard afterward. The house ends up condemned from the mold and foundation damage, the insurace company ends up dropping them, and no one else will help. I would assume it's like trying to get treatment for terminal cancer without having insurance. Imagine trying to get covered for that. I love this man though and wish there were more professionals that cared to do the kind of work he's doing. I would really love it if he would come fix our house with our constant leaks and holes every where.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Everyday has been its own rollercoaster and I'm totally fried. The funny part is that when things finally calm down a bit, I'm still full of anxiety and I can't calm down. Every now and then I find that I'm not breathing properly and it's hard to catch my breath after that. My face totally broke out and I'm just waiting in anticipation for the day that I need to run our and find best wrinkle cream to put myself back into decent looking shape. Things have to get better soon, it can't last much longer can it?!

Water, Water Every Where...

it's hard to believe that we have two water filters in our house and both of them need replacing already. We really could use a new MWF filter in our fridge but the filter that we have at our kitchen sink drives me nuts with it's constant beeping reminder. It would be really nice to replace our sink too but that's another story that I'm sure you've already heard. LOL! The filters are pretty costly so either we'll have to find some at a discount or use a pitcher type of filter for the time being.

Can You Hear Me?

Well, since the incident, DH has been talking about walkie-talkies and satellite radios in case of our phones not working or some kind of massive force of nature. I think that it's probably a good idea so that we can all get a hold of each other but right now we can't afford it. I told my friend about this and she laughed because to a normal person this kind of thing is totally not needed but for me, well...LOL I might as well have one planted into my shoulder knowing that something totally off the wall will happen to me or some one I know.

911

I've been super stressed lately about DH's well being. Last week he went to a picnic and while getting out to get gas he was jumped by two guys and stabbed by one of them. It was really scary because he wasn't in the right frame of mind and ended up totally losing it so I had no idea what really was going on until the next day.

How really do you handle something like this?! I mean, it's really just crazy and random. You never think that this kind of thing will happen but in my case it's almost expected. I have this weird thing about me and the people that I know and I end up encountering almost every statistical thing you can think of. My dad was murdered and a few of our friends, I had a child really young, etc. You name it, I've probably been through it.
