Judy,
I love those little windfalls. I put them in a change jar that counts the money for us (talk about lazy). We have a dream of going back to the Smokey's this fall, this is our "vacation" jar. So far, we've collected about $131 in change. All from windfalls or the change in our pockets at the end of the week. Saturday is payday for the change jar.
When I use a coupon, I put that amount in the jar, too.
I got paid from everybody today! So NOW I will recommend these sites for more money, but it takes 30 days to get payment.

I write for 4 different companies.
They pay me through PayPal.
sometimes the writing is sheer lies, like my book reviews.
They pay me.
freelancer.com
chacha.com
oDesk.com
keyforcash.com
They all pay differently depending on what you do.
If I write at the Master's level, I get paid lots more, closer to $100 or more a project. The best I was paid was $1,000 from an Australian university. The least is $3 for proofreading 500 words. I take it all. It adds up. cha cha pays 10 cents per answer...

Good Afternoon Ladies,
I am getting things ready to be successful this weekend at work. I have been to the grocery store to get my fresh veggies and some snacks. My weekend challenge will be the pot luck we will be having on Sunday. I am going to bring something within my healthy eating habits I am building. I will not let this defeat me. I have worked too hard now to quit.
Also got good news about dad's CT results, no cancer. Mom was worried his cancer had returned. Finally found the source of his chronic nose bleeds, he has a part of his septum that has protuded (sp?) out that gets excessively dry and starts to bleed.
I will not be on much this weekend as I work Saturday to Monday 6 am to 8 pm each day.
I have not weighed myself since I started on the steriods dose pak. I dont want to know, but my blood sugars ahve not been too far out of range. I am drinking plenty of water with lemon. I bought limes to use in them this weekend, wanted something different.
Have a great weekend all and keep up the determination to do what you need to to be successful.
:-P

createfourpaws, that's great news about your dad. I didn't gain much on my last steroids, so maybe you haven't. Have a healthy weekend.
The Purple Person Warmer is done! It got put aside for the garden, but it's raining today, so ta da..... http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-129488-1.htm
Now off to vacuum the walls and tub in the dog's bathroom. That's the only to clean up after the BC/Lab has a bath. Let the hair dry and vacuum it.

Well,I'm a webfoot,so am dyeing to know where you were at in Oregon.I really miss it too.But love it here also.Our home is where our heart is,right now it's here.[/quote]
Hey Xylie, first we landed in Ocean Park, Washington in our RV. It is on the Long Beach Peninsula. When we moved back, we ended up in a townhouse across the Columbia River in Hammond, Or - across the bay from Astoria.
I have a story similar to Missy's Harley Davidson rumble. The first time we pulled on to the Peninsula was the weekend after Labor Day. Unbeknownst to us, everything was booked because it was the "Rod Run to the End of the World"....classic cars everywhere.
Great memories. Where in the NW have you lived?

Glad to see so much chatter. Has not been a very good day for me. Maybe I worked too hard yesterday or maybe it is the heat - maybe both. I have too much to do to be so lethargic.
No ice cream for two days now. In fact, NOTHING that is not on my food plan. I would luv luv luv to be under 140 by my birthday next month. I just have to work it - I know it works for me.
Have a great Friday nite!

HI all Just got back a couple hours ago from a trip of 160 miles to see our son. I was a quick trip because the freeways on friday are like a parking lot. Not a good day didn't drink my water because of being in the car and did not eat on plan because we eat on the run. Dinner was a steak potato and carrots. I feel really full now so not snacks tonight.
Hope you all had a good day.
Irishrose love you quilt love the colors and the pattern
Mj so glad your doing better. Mind the doctor and your right Xylie is an inspiration to us .
Need to go clean up the kitchen and do a little quiltling.
I'll try to check in tomorrow.
Hugs to all
Gail

Morning all! Glad to hear for the most part everyone is doing good.
I stayed on my food plan yesterday and stayed under my calorie range. I did water aerobics for 1 hour and felt good afterward.
Weekends are always hard for me so say a prayer that I make it through without to many problems.
I've been depressed lately and have been sleeping more. I need to get over this as I have three quilts I'm working on and all have deadline.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Jeanne,
don't give up on yourself. take the projects in small goals. You might be a little overwhelmed with your commitments.
Journal:
Be your own best friend. Write in your journal about that one incident that haunts you. You know the one. Grief, guilt, whatever it is. Tell the story as you feel it. Then rewrite the story the way you wanted it to end. Be the friend that is needed, tell the story with a happy ending. Or resolve your feelings about the issue.
Motivation: Be kind to yourself today.
