Silly Weather, Writing & Wii

Today is another dreary day...the clouds have rolled in and the wind has picked up again. We are supposed to get a little more snow over the course of the day. I am so looking forward to Spring! I am tired of having to bundle up just to go outside...I long for the days I can just step outside without it taking five minutes to get ready. (Update about ten minutes after I wrote this paragraph I looked outside to see a full blown snow squall...I do hope it doesn't last long.)

I have been writing and submitting articles on Triond, Helium, HubPages and Wikinut over the last few weeks. I am enjoying writing more each day, and am starting to see results of my hard work. I have also applied for a few different positions on oDesk and LiveWork. I am enjoying being at home for my family and spend the days juggling writing assignments, meals and housework. I also fit in errands and Livestock chores.

Yesterday I did something I haven't done for over five months...I pulled out my Wii Fit. It told me I gained weight (already knew that) and that I was 45 years old (so not true). Today, I stepped on it again and was told I had lost .2 pounds and I was 37 (also not true, but much better). According to it, I am five years younger than my real age. When I was diligently stepping on it every day, there were times when it told me I was in my low 30s...even high 20' a time or three. That is a good feeling! The Wii has been a good investment. I do however need to be a little more disciplined about using it. It does no good when it is not turned on.

I will try to post more regularly here and on my other Blog Crafts, Quilts & Books. I am starting to see very positive results with my Blogs and articles and anticipate earning a modest income within the next six months. This is the beginning of my plan to buy the Home Quarter of land I was raised on from my Dad. It has everything I want in a piece of land...hills, trees and water. The house is no longer inhabitable, so I will need to build. My long term goal is to be settled in by the time my daughter graduates from High School...which is three and a half years from now.

Until next time, have a great day!!!

Almost Spring?

The weather has been wonderful the last couple of days! Once again, I know it is just a teaser. It doesn't make me enjoy it any less though. It won't be long before it is really Spring, and I will be so very happy! I do have to say the warm weather has melted the snow enough so I can once again see three of my solar lights in the garden.

I am always on the lookout to find a way to earn some extra money from home. I have an Alpaca package I am trying to buy, so any extra cash is welcome. I came across myLot today and am anxious to see how it works out. It is supposed to be a good site to earn money at, just by interacting with fellow members. I will see and let you know. If I post one day all excited over my new alpacas, you'll know my writing and myLot has worked well for me.

More samples of my writing can be viewed by clicking on the Triond Widget to the right of this post. I love writing about subjects that interest me, and try to make them educational and entertaining. Please feel free to click on the widget and see for yourself.

Have a great day!
