The updated update

I had my interview yesterday and it went really well! I'll be working at Curves. There are three locations I'll be working at in this area....and before you ask, yes there is one in beaumont, and no I will not be working at that one...thanks.

I'm really excited. The hours are almost perfect and they all seemed really nice. I start my training on Thursday and then its work work work! I'm not sure exactly what all my duties will be right now, but I will find that out on Thursday when I get there and send yall some more updates.

The best part of this job is...i get to wear workout clothes and a t-shirt, no makeup, and no desk to sit behind (thank god!)

Now aside from the job stuff....I am also working on a new site. Its going to be a vintage scrapbooking site. So as soon as that is live I will post here for you all to check it out!

The J.O.B. update

So some of you know but some of you don't, so I'm bringing you the latest news on the job search. I know I last reported that indeed I had found a job and would start working last monday (the 3rd). However, the bird lady had flown the coop, in a manner of speaking, (and thats putting it politely).

Sooooo...I have decided to pursue other things. I have heard back last week from one place that I sent my resume too and they are very eager to meet me. This is also a much better job, I might add, than the one I would have been doing (*coughs* tweet!)

I have an interview this upcoming monday (st. patricks day the 17th), so everyone keep your fingers crossed and wish me the best please. In all honesty, I just need some help getting my other ventures off the ground while still paying my bills. So, I really hope this works out and I can do that and also work at a job that a) i like and b) is just a really good job!

Whilst i was searching ebay....

I came across this listing....(click here)

Now your probably saying....why are you showing me this listing? The item is not important...I simply placed the her longest listing in the link so you could see it for longer (i think...not sure how that works...um..contact me if you try to see it and its gone...i'll send you another link).

What I want you to read is the listing itself....or rather her "warning." Its a bit long, but I promise you will laugh...at least once...if not more...and out loud too!

Enjoy!

Just really cant wait to see this one!

New additions to BIG Dream!

I know if you are getting these posts then you are probably subscribed and only getting them by email. I do, however, encourage you to stop by the site every once in a while to see how the site is changing and growing.

Here are just a few new things added:
Amazon. com Wish List
Etsy mini (a link to my Etsy shop and products)

...one last announcement that I would like to make. I have been working on a new website to bring all my projects together. It is currently in the development stage and there are several things that I am still ironing out, but feel free to go have a look to see the early stages of my site!

Yes we can video

Hey yall....this is something I wanted to share with yall. I know some of you will hate me for this lol...but thats ok. I came across this today after seeing the full video when it came out a few weeks ago.

I know some of you have already seen the full video but here is an explanation by Will.I.Am himself about how it came to be. I've also included another link below it if you want to see the full video. I highly recommend seeing it simply for the inspiration. If this video doesn't give you the tingles and make you a bit teary then I would suggest seeing a doctor very soon (a mental health professional!
lol)

New job and new opportunities

So as some of you know, I will be starting a new job on Monday. I'm working at an aviary, monitoring the growth of baby birds. I'm really excited, mostly because I wont have to deal with any people (hehe). Thats right...no more grumpy people on the phone to talk to all day. I am however keeping the job just for the time being to pick up a few extra hours on the weekends to supplement my income a bit.

Another exciting venture that only some of you know about: I've been working on my own website and creating a few products to sell and market through that site. This past week things have grown by leaps and bounds and I'm going to be announcing a few products that I've created very soon. You will all be the first to see them (with the exception of ebay and etsy users...so basically the whole world).

I'll be adding my listing to this page as well so you can have a look at what's available while you're here reading.

More news to come soon! Keep reading!

My latest project!

So, here are a few pictures of the latest book I finished. I'm currently working on another with a fairy tale theme. I will let you all know when it is available for purchase.

Internet marketing blog

so i started my internet marketing blog. i thought i'd share a little bit about it for those that dont know what internet marketing is. i'm very new to it myself so the purpose of the new blog is show my progress, share what i know and for others to leave some tips. so, of course, it will be in a much more professional format ( i used upper case letters *gasp!*) because i want to be able to publish some of the posts eventually in article directories and such.

so if you're interested in seeing what thats about, defiantly check it out. i'll post a link here on this blog too so you can visit it anytime from this site. enjoy! (yay! progress!)

baby steps

sooo i think its really time to start this new internet marketing thing. i'm fed up with my job and i'm really ready to make something happen here. this month i'm setting up my own scrapbook niche site. i'm really unsure of the whole html thing at the moment but i guess it will be a learning process. plus when it comes to auto responders, sales copies, writing millions of articles...i'm not too clear on that either. but...we will see how it goes...gonna build slow and of course keep you updated on the progress. check back here soon for an update and possibly a new site!

getting ready for Valentines Day

you either love it or you hate it. for the longest time i hated it. all those ppl running around with flowers and candy and me sitting at home watching tv and stuffing my face full of chocolates..that i bought for myself lol.

so i've decided this year to make the most of my alone time (even though i have someone....far far away...*miss you x*) and also to share some secrets with the rest of you.

for all those going solo this year....spread the love to your fellow singletons by sharing a smile. smilebox offers a free service that you can download and create ecards and slide shows that you can post on your own blog or even send to friends and family in an email.
the best part about this is that you can add your own photos to these ecards. so get creative! show how much you love or hate v day and then share it with others.


ok so now its the big night and you just want to get out of the house. whether you are married or single with little ones or pets that need looking after....the truth of the matter is...your gonna need a sitter. but its v day...so the kid down the street is busy tonight too! well my suggestion is to visit . they have babysitters, nannies, petsitters, housesitters, eldercare, and now tutors as well. so if you are a proud parent or 3 or the proud parent of fuzzykins, they have a service for you.
