Life

I work a part time job but it gives me the interaction with people I need. I never thought of myself as a people person until moving halfway a crossed the country for the husband. I now have my Fb page which helps! I appreciate all the ladies who have joined. I have made a special friend there that I admire so much and wish I could help her as much as she has helped me! She has lost so much weight and is an amazing person! She home schools a child, keeps her house nice, and just makes my day brighter talking to her! I wish I could make her see how much just having someone to vent to makes life better...well for me anyways!  I just think Life is so much on what you make of it! I try to be positive! I know I gained a bunch of weight because I was so lonely moving here! So my tip of the day is just think of something good in your life! Smile about it mine is my chickens and animals! My mom who is going through Cancer! Just Smile!

Pampering Myself

Pampering myself usually involves some sort of indulgence...usually food..sometimes thrift shopping! So I have been trying to lose some weight doing a protein shake here and there instead of a meal. I have also been trying to not eat as much bad food for me! So tonight I took some garlic and olive oil and some salt and browned some boneless skinless chicken. I then picked some zucchini from the garden and cooked that up with some garlic! I cut up cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes put some salt on them and put them in the fridge! That is my go to treat it's healthy and tasty! Better then eating a bunch of fries anyways! What is your go to meal for healthy nights?
OK confession time we made apple sauce and it was so juice I saved some juice and made jelly...I did the less sugar recipe but it is still basically half sugar. That will have to be a treat!

Kittens

I have always been the type who drags home the sickly animals...growing up on a farm this wasn't so bad. Now I live on 11 acres with my husband who does not love animals as much as I do. He is ok with livestock but the cats he could do without! We seem to keep acquiring cats. I guess that is the downside of living in the country. I now have them inside to warm them up! Just don't tell the hubby. What do you do? I want to find homes and get all the strays I feed fixed which is why I am doing the party any commission I make will help pay for the kitty's.
 Party
Thanks in advance for the help!

My morning routine

So every morning I get up and pack the hubby's lunch and make him breakfast. The feed the chickens. Sometimes if I am really motivated I do some dishes! Then I have my me time. I usually do a couple surveys every morning. I really enjoy getting stuff to test in the mail. I also check my Listia to see if I have won anything! My husband laughs but I do enjoy making some money on the surveys every month! I also do saveup which is supposed to help you get your financial life straight and give you a chance to win some prizes everyday. One of my favorite surveys is ICS does it take awhile to get it to pay better yes but once your trust score is up you can make regular payouts FAST! I have also won the 50 dollar and 2 dollar draws! Plus I can basically guarantee my payout will be in my paypal account in less then 24 hrs! Ok off to do some dishes and then get ready for work! Yes my life is pretty exciting!

Working

How do you usually spend your days at work? Today ours was a bit crazy...to be fair Monday is the day we finish the paper and ship it off to be printed. Well to start it off one of the girls I work with is a bit twisted and always likes to scare the crap out of me. She waited for me to come out of the bathroom (small favors) and hid until I was close then yelled boo...and I jumped. Later after the paper was done...it really was...the boss came in and was like hey you need to see this bug! I was like is it orange and black? It was I had seen the same weird bug thing at the pharmacy! Well it turned out to be this creepy! Yea that is what we do at work...and we might or might not have brought it inside with pliers to try get a better idea of what it was!

Clipping Coupons!

I clip coupons to save a few dollars, usually on items I wouldn't buy. We try to be pretty thrifty with our money. Sometimes the husband laughs at my bundle of coupons and list so I know exactly what I can save money on. I usually print mine off...sometimes at work since the boss likes her coupons too! I hate when I have a coupon and the store brand is still cheaper this is when I set the coupon on the name brand and grab the store brand. Unless it is something that is soooo much better then the store brand. I like printing them off the computer bc from the two sites I use to print from I get points which I then turn into gift cards! I love it and the hubby then picks on me some more! Does my total ever end up being next to nothing? No but I do save some money the best day ever was when my friend and I went to Lane Bryant and save about 2 times what we spent! Yes we had coupons that allowed us to save much more if we combined our orders! Hey every girl wants some new bras now and again! What about you what are your ways to save money? If you want the two sites I use to make gift cards feel free to contact me!

A Day Off

What do you do on your day off? Today I have off from my part time job. So I am indulging in some Castle season 1, and hot pockets for lunch. I did have a fruit smoothie for breakfast. I am not sure that it evens out but yeahhhh. So today I am doing surveys for some extra cash, looking at stuff on ebay, and clipping coupons. I also am addicted Listia to since we don't have cable or dish or anything for TV I get a lot of our movies off of here. It is like ebay but you don't use money(except for some shipping) it is based on points you sell your items for points and then can buy other stuff with it. You also get points for signing up. My day also is going to consist of weeding the garden which will be tons of fun! Hey what is for dinner? I need to come up with something tasty...since after dinner I am going to convince my husband to fix the washing machine....
