Microblogging

I am enjoying microblogging with YouSayToo. Here you have the wonderful world of the microblog in the form of a "Buzzer". I love doing it and could make money, but I have no idea how to increase my traffic to this type of site. So, I am here hoping that you will want to go and check it out. There are a few that have to do with my life, but I am also doing a tip of the day, relaxer, and money maker each day. I am hoping to get a bunch of views and a lot of subscribers. I suppose we shall see. Any way...if you would like to check it out, visit My Buzzer. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

love2. The Texas Sunshine

We were Michiganders. We had lived there all our lives, and over 20 years apiece. Sure that isn't as long as some people, but it was the only land and whether we had known. Then we spent 8 months in Wisconsin. This weather was a little different, but at the same time very similar. Last June we moved to Texas. Since then we have made it through the hottest days of the summer, the fall, the winter, and now the spring. I love the Texas sunshine. There really is nothing that compares to its warmth as it seems to warm you to the bones. It is bright most of the days, even in the winter, and it makes for a great happy place to live. Additionally it is warm all through the winter and only really snowed once in the entire winter (at Thanksgiving time). We went swimming a few days ago, and it was wonderful, though a bit chilly. The air is often warm and even hot (very hot come summer), but it is humid and sticky like back home and is easier to handle then the humidity is.

All in all, I love the Texas sunshine, at least here in the dessert!

94. Hair Cut

Mom called me into here room asking for help. When I got there, she had chopped all my son's hair off. It is true that it was getting long, however I didn't want her to chop it all off. Additionally, she never asks she just does it. Today that meant interrupting my work schedule so that I could take care of him since she had decided to give him the hair cut. It makes me feel as if she has no respect for my work, my day, or my opinions and desires for my son. Now my husband is mad and planning on talking to her.

However, I am afraid that there is no such thing as talking with my mom. It will probably be a fight and something she complains to me about later. She already thinks my husband hates her and I feel that she hates him in return so it is such a grand old place to live.

While she told us she would be out by April, that isn't happening. The judge hasn't made his decision yet and won't until the end of April. The earliest she could get money is by the end of May and that has her moving out at the earliest at the end of June. We have months left of living together and some days I wonder if I will be able to handle another second of it, let alone months more worth of stress, the frustrations, and the fights that seem to be on the verge of happening. Plus, my mom is very depressed and unable to get treatment for it without a doctor. She can't get a doctor till she gets back on medicaid which can't happen till she is on disability. She often walks around crying and she rarely has anything good to say.

Some days I feel like saying, "Just shoot me now!" But such as life...

Rankrz

I have been working hard this month and one thing that I have become involved in is Rankrz. I am really hoping to see very good things from this program, but only time will tell. This site offers great rankings that you can do. (We all love setting up rankings). Then you can take these rankings and use them in your blog if you wish. But on top of that, whenever someone visits your page, you get Google adsense and Amazon impressions. So, you are making money as well as doing something cool.

This should be enough to get more people, it really needs to grow a lot more. But in case it isn't, they have started a contest. Now you get $100 for winning the ranking contest. I would have to say that it is definitely worth it. There are three categories:
The Best Blog Widgets
The Best Blog Marketing Tools
The Best Musicians.

Even if you aren't interested, I would love for you to stop by and visit my rankings, give me good marks, and great comments!

Oh, and additionally, you can put your rankings into your blog using this nifty widget.

So Much to Tell You

I have several posts that I am hoping to get down the next several weeks. I have been working so hard on the reward-athon that I have been neglecting all my blogs really badly. This isn't good and can't continue after I have reached my $1500 goal, which is coming up fairly quickly. It will all be over the 14th of April, as that is the last day for the reward-athon.

The only concern is how I am going to make near as much money as I have been with out it. I am not really ready to see a mega decrease in my earnings and right now my passive earnings aren't big enough to handle not having that three hundred dollars worth of writing each month. I can come up with some AC titles that I am fairly certain will be accepted and that will get me some money, but not as much as I need to replace. Other writing avenues will increase my earnings, but I just don't think I will make that much that fast.

On the other hand, my Google Adsense is growing slowly, but nicely. I was hoping for triple what I made last month, which just isn't going to happen (it would have been just over $14). However, It is reasonable to get twice as much as last month which is good as long as I continue in a forward motion.

I am hoping that I can win a couple of contests, but I will be making seperate posts for those!

Life is good, I just wish that it were a tad bit easier, but then I am sure that I am not alone!

Mortgages

There is a need for figuring out the best mortgages for you. This often varies from state to state. Having just moved from Wisconsin to Texas we found this out. Each market has different interest rates. This can be by the city, state, or other regional market. However, all this confusion about your Mortgage can now be handled with online advice. You can find everything there, even things as specific as Texas mortgages or Midland, TX mortgages.

But that usually isn't enough. What if you already have a mortgage, but are needing to think about better options for you? There are those available to. You can get information about Mortgage Refinance Rates. It is all here and all here to help you make informed decisions on things that will effect your life in a huge way.

Sorry About Being Gone

I know I have been gone a lot lately, and I really have to figure out a schedule that lets me blog regularly and write regularly while working around the house, taking care of our son, and all that kind of stuff. It feels like a lot to work on and with, but we rearranged our house and I should be able to come up with a much more effect schedule now. That is the wonderful thing. It won't be much to work with or worry about. But it will be good, it will all be good.
