Kickin myself in the back side!

Well, my heart is always in the right place and you would think with the amount of time I spend on the computer that I could find 10 minutes everyday writing on my blog. Time for a big fat kick in the hind end for this momma!

Status so far is 8 pounds off, excercise regimen starting to come together, and while looking for work I am also looking for ways to make money from home. You never know what kind of gold mine may turn up. It could be a combination of things too. Selling stuff on Ebay, doing online surveys, etc. Who knows. I did find out that if I were to sell all of the china that I own at the same retail prices that Replacements.com sells for, I would be able to make $1800 from 4 small boxes. So, I am looking into selling all of my stuff at one of the antique stores in Snohomish. A friend of mine did that and ended up with over $2000.00 in her pocket. A nice tidy sum if I may say so. I have another friend who's sister does yard sales, estate sales, and thrift stores and sells stuff on Ebay at a pretty great profit and makes quite a bit of money. You just have to learn what to look for and what those items are potentially worth.

I certainly wouldn't turn down a great job if it is offered to me but I would sure like to work from home and set my own hours. That would be the icing on the cake and kind of a reward for the number of years that I have been working outside the home. Which is about 36 years. Been there done that.

So, we'll see how things go. Maybe I can make money as a writer. Here is an excerpt from the prologue of my sci-fi book.

"Ben closed the door to the cabin quietly. He did not want to wake Dani just yet. Looking out over the crystal clear water, he saw their destination. It was a large lodge style cabin on the other side of the lake. Smoke was drifting out from the chimney so he knew their host would already be up, preparing for their visit. He walked to the shore to see if the canoe that was promised would be there waiting. It was tied up to a small dock. Upon reaching the end of the dock and inspecting the canoe for the appropriate gear and supplies, he spied a note attached to one of the oars."

That's all you get to see for now.
