Good Morning! It's Good Friday, and I do believe it's going to be a great Friday.
We had lots of rain and wind last night. So much rain that the driveway is flooded. Now they say skies will stay clear until Easter Sunday. If it's going to rain on Sunday I hope it waits until evening like it did last night.

Yesterday was a busy day, today will be a busy day...so will Saturday and Sunday. It's all good, as I've smoked my last cigarette and I am bound and determined to keep it that way!
I've done dishes this morning, put pinto beans and seasoning in the crockpot to freeze portions for refried beans, and I have the eggs boiled for the kids to dye later.
Lots of housework to be done, things to do on the computer, crafts to get completed to mail to customers, the list goes on and on.

I did a bunch of posting on gather yesterday here and there. I am going to direct you to my post home page if you are interested. I wrote about my shopping, Jasmine's vegetarian meal, our walk and a couple of days ago about my Walgreens shopping. Marsha's Gather posts home page

No school for the kids today and I can hear from upstairs that they are already driving my mother insane....if they come down here they know they have to help me pick up their toys...they tend to avoid being down here when they know they have to clean up LOL I am going to get busy now on getting in clean...

Here's to a great start to your Easter weekend!

Good Morning!
I am alternating between cleaning and working on the computer this morning as I have the online party starting at Noon CST. My turn to present this evening and all day anyone who orders from me gets 2 prize entries instead of just 1. I hope that works out for me. I need orders!

I didn't make my goal of getting all the books listed yesterday, but I did get the ones listed that I wanted on blujay. I will work off and on getting what I can listed to homeschoolbuy today.

I woke up this morning realizing its the 6th and I have yet to update my Under the Rainbow gifts, Sample Gal, and Cello In A Box squidoo lenses. Well, I did update the Sample Gal earlier with a great special. I believe that ended yesterday so I need to take that off and change products around for this month. Maybe I can get all 3 done today around being in the party. Only time will tell at this point...can't predict the future for sure.

I got a post in on gather yesterday about my shopping on Saturday as well as my Budget Sunday Dinner post in. I've got to get better again about sharing links here to both my gather posts and my squidoo pages. It just seems that my days are so crazy with me trying to get everything in that I want to accomplish. I don't see any way to slow down though.

I am going to leave you with the link to the Under the Rainbow Spring Fling. This is the final day with extra prize drawings today as well as the grand prize drawing at the very end of the day. I truly hope some of you will pop in and at least chat for a bit today.

Good Morning. It's cold and windy out and they are saying chance of snow before noon. Oh boy. This is shopping day, but we aren't in dire need of anything so I don't think Jasmine and I will be walking today. I don't have my list and coupons ready anyway.

I felt so unproductive yesterday. I know that I got things done, it just didn't seem like I did. I hope to feel productive today. I've already gotten a lot of the housework done and out of the way this morning, but still need to clean under the furniture according to my cards.

I guess I am obligated to make a funeral home visit this afternoon, we have a cousin that passed away. We've found a ride to get there. The service is tomorrow. I do want to see the relatives that live out of state and we haven't seen for years. That's a sad thing to say in the matter of a death isn't it? Sometimes that's the only time you see relatives.

The Spring Fling day that was cancelled has been rescheduled to Monday the 6th. That is when I will present. Here is the link to my vendor table. My specials are good through Monday of 10% discount. And, don't forget, my craft pricing includes shipping. Gifts Galore and More Vendor Table
Tomorrow the Spring Fling also continues and I hear rumor that the Easter Bunny will be there to do the live prize drawings on camera. Speaking of which, I won a prize yesterday...a years membership to Send Out Cards.

I also updated my Sample Gal squidoo lens yesterday. She has an awesome special going until April 5. It's at the top in a black box, you can't miss it. Sample Gal

I think that is all of my news today. My mom just told me it is snowing outside. She also just turned off my lights down here like I'm not down here or something....mothers!
Have a great Thursday!
Marsha

Good Morning!
Amazingly, almost all the snow from the snowstorm over the weekend is now melted...all 18 inches! Jasmine and I walked to the store yesterday.
I was really disappointed when I went in to the Spring Fling yesterday to find out that it was cancelled....I had worked so hard preparing for it and advertising it, and well, was really in hopes of making some money selling things to work towards getting the van running again. But, the owners son was in an accident and family does have to come first. I've not heard anything yet on how her son is, or if yesterday will be rescheduled to another day. The Spring Fling is set for day 2 tomorrow, however, yesterday was the only time I was scheduled to present my crafts.

Tonight is bowling....just 2 more weeks after this week. I will miss my weekly night out, but at the same time appreciate the break over the summer months. Just so much I am trying to do.

I didn't really get anything done...a couple extra posts on gather, one to say I was going to have a busy day, then another one telling about the Spring Fling being cancelled. I didn't do anything on squidoo other than rate and comment on a few lenses of others. Can we say non-productive? I did finish the plarn shopping bag, and will get it listed in my blujay store today. I'm going to cut all my netting while working on here today to get as many dish scrubbies made as I can.

I guess that's about all my news for today folks. Have a great Tuesday!
Marsha

Good Morning!
Our church services were cancelled this morning due to the amount of snow we got. Unfortunately, we weren't going anyway due to the van being down. I sold 2 plarn shopping bags yesterday in blujay! All online sales profits are being saved to get the van running again. I about have all the plastic bags cut and made into plarn to crochet my next plarn bag.

I'm pretty much going to take it easy today. It is supposed to be my free day after all. I've done my dishes "share", made my bed and the other little few things that are done daily around the house.

Today's high is supposed to be 53, which should melt some of the snow, however with the amount we got there isn't any way to melt it all in one day. I think tomorrow high is a little better, but Tuesday's forecast is calling for a drop again, but rain instead of snow. Oh pleasant spring LOL

Don't forget, the Under the Rainbow Spring Fling starts tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the day that I present as well. It's always a good time.

Good Morning!
I've gotten some of my cleaning done. Today is the big cleaning day for here in the basement.
We didn't get the 3 inches of snow they predicted here...yet. The winter weather advisory continues throughout today. We have the winds that they predicted right now and it's mighty cold out there.

Yesterday I worked as hard as I could on here on my earning. I posted 6 posts on gather! I updated 2 squidoo lenses. I got the book Superdove listed on blujay. I dug around and found a few more things to list on blujay. One thing is a lot of 4 Peter Pan peanut butter lids from 1952 and 1953 that have Peter Pan movie characters on them.

I know around the cleaning I won't get as much done on the computer as I did yesterday. I won't hardly get anything done tomorrow as I've agreed to work 7 hours doing child care at Headstart. I am kicking myself for agreeing, and stressing out over being away from home 7 hours but I know I need to do it and make the extra $50. I don't come anywhere close to making that on the computer. We need money now to get our dog out of the animal shelter as well as to get the van running again. Money...or the need of it sure is an unending thing.

Here is my book review of Superdove on squidoo. I put a sticky note in the lens with the link to it for sale on blujay. Superdove Book Review

Here is one of the posts I did on gather. My grocery shopping trip on Wednesday. Grocery Shopping 3/25/09

The Under the Rainbow Spring Celebration starts on Monday. I present on Monday as well. I hope some of you can make it and check things out. I've been doing this for about 5 years and it's a lot of fun. Ralyn goes all out to put on a good online fair and the prize drawings are even done live on her webcam.

Good Morning! I haven't been on the computer much this morning, concentrating more on the housework and now ready to start schoolwork with Jasmine.

On the way to take the girls to school Elizabeth had to call us. About half way there that rod went all the way out on the van. Now it's still sitting down there and I have no idea when we can get someone to pull it home for us. I also need prayers on coming up with the $300 we need to buy another engine for it.

I posted a book on blujay yesterday and have another one to post today. Both are new books that I've written book review squidoo lenses on. Yesterday's was With Violets

I didn't get anything extra into gather yesterday other than an article on the van breaking down.

I'm sad that we will have to now miss the Lenten service at church tonight, and once again I have to call and get a ride for the girls to Awanas. I think Jasmine and I will walk to the grocery store this afternoon for a few things. I think the weather will hold out for us today, but tomorrow is a real cool down with a chance of rain....Friday they are calling for even more of a cool down with a chance of snow. Oh boy....

I guess that's it for today's news. I need to check real quick to see what's supposed to be good deals at the grocery store. I looked at the ad but didn't see anything exciting.

Have a good Wednesday!
Marsha

Good Morning!
I kind of took the day off yesterday, didn't even post my blog. With the file system Sunday is one of the free days. I just felt lazy as it was and didn't even concentrate too much on my online earnings...mostly played some games.
Today is a moderate cleaning day on my schedule, with that cleaning being done upstairs. I've already done up a bunch of the dishes, but I really don't look forward to sweeping and mopping the kitchen at all. Mom's kitchen is such a cluttered up sloppy mess I just can't stand it! However, I'm the only one who sweeps and mops.

Yesterday I did post a Budget Sunday Dinner post on gather. And, around my messing I still managed to get over 100 pts with gather yesterday. I need 1,080 more points to make my goal to cash out for both a $25 and $50 amazon by April 1. If I can keep getting points like I am now I should be able to make it! Here is the link to yesterday's post. Budget Sunday Dinner 3/22/09

I didn't do any updating of squidoo lenses...I told you I pretty much took the day off. Not even sure which one or two I will try to do today.

Today's plans other than the cleaning include getting my mom to a dr. appt this afternoon, watching Guilding Light upstairs so I can answer the trivia at vocalpoint, and visiting my son this evening. And, after visiting my son sitting upstairs to watch the season finale of The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It's sad to not have a tv down here right now for sure. I plan to work on my coupons while watching shows. So, there goes a huge chunk of my internet time. Just reading my own plans is making me tired!

Guess I better get up to that kitchen. Here's to an awesome start to your week!
