Update

Well a lot has been happening and I figured I would take a moment to do a quick post about where I am at today and where I will be going in the next few months. I have a lot of ideas and only time will tell how well they all pan out.

Helium Reward-athon-I neglected my blogs for just over three months to spend a mass amount of time writing for Helium. There they had the reward-athon where you could get paid 1-3 dollars an article (on top of the normal passive income) and make some extra dough. With one great effort I managed to write 480 articles for a nice sum of $1440. All in all, it was a good experience and now I feel ready to do a million and one other things working toward our goals.

Comments-I did a little comment moderation on my blogs and found a ton of spam. It is amazing how webmasters are getting more cleaver. Some comments sounded like real comments. Some were rude and criticized my opinion. Then I saw their link with porn clearly the point. Later, I found the exact same comment on other blogs. So much for them thinking I was dumb because of my opinion, they also thought my husband was dumb for his, and that one of my in-laws (a mere child) was dumb for writing a silly story about aliens. So, I spent an hour deleting about six hundred spam messages and leaving about a half dozen real messages.

Blogging-While most of my blogs make very little right now, I will be concentrating on building them up even more. I have some great ideas (at least I think they are great ideas) and am excited about doing a lot of new and interesting things. I am hoping to get some advertising on a few of them for a nice chunk of change and to develop them into something more. However, time will only tell what happens and where they all go. Write now I have nine blogs (including two very personal ones, such as this one) and maintain two more plus a hub site which lists all that we are doing these days. It is quite a bit, but with all the ideas going on in my head I hope to make it something huge!

Writing-Additionally I am writing for fourteen sites (though I am considering getting rid of at least one site) and have a wide variety of articles up there and about. I am working on building up a passive income and watching that grow with each month, which is rather fun to do.

Future Plans, Hopes, and Dreams-I am wanting to write children's books, and maybe novels. Additionally I would like to make money with the craft fair market. Actually come 2013 (which seems like forever away) I would like to make money blogging, writing internet articles, my own ebooks, newsletters, cafepress with my own t-shirt designs, books, and the craft fair market. It will be a lot of work, but me and my husband will be able to do it together and hopefully make a nice sum of money.

Well, it is late and I should try going to bed now (I couldn't sleep which doesn't happen much anymore!). Goodnight, hope to see you back here soon and often. If you are wanting to check out more of what I have been doing head on over to Falon and Aiden.

Microblog

I have found a few things that I love. I love writing, blogging, and making money doing the things I enjoy doing. But I also love the microblog. I have been working here at YouSayToo writing a small blog. Each entry is 200 characters or less. Here I share how I am, what I am doing, as well as a daily tip, a money maker, and a relaxer each day, or most days. However, I am in need of more traffic and not sure how to get it to the microblog. It isn't like I can social bookmark the microblog!

So, I decided to see if any of you would like to have a look. It might just be that there are a few people who read my blogs who would be interested. Of course, it might not be, but I certainly hope so. Without farther ado...My Buzzer.

Every Now and Then...

It all started the beginning of November 2006. We slept in our apartment for the first time and I had horrible stomach pains. They lasted most of the night, and in the morning I was fine. I wasn't sure if it was my stomach or my back that hurt at the time. I had it happen a half dozen or so times starting then. I thought it was my back, my lungs, and finally my stomach. It hurts where my stomach is and causes so much pain it radiates out from that spot. It hurts worse in front, but also in back and all the way around. A hot shower helps, while I am in there, but not afterwards. This always happens after eight pm and it often keeps me up in the middle of the night.

So, here I am in the middle of the night typing away instead of sleeping. I am bone tired. I was thinking that if I stayed up late it would be fine because tomorrow is the day my mother-in-law takes our son and then I could have slept in the afternoon if need be. Of course, I just found out that they are having car trouble and won't be able to take him. Such as life. I suppose. It always seems to work that way. Hopefully I will be able to sleep soon enough.

Well, thank you for listening to my troubles. Have a good night!
