Back to Reality

Well, Mr. Grump and I have arrived back from our buying trip, er… vacation. Arriving with a large load of things to throw up on eBay and some new ideas for our other ventures I am looking forward to this next month or so.

However, the restaurant didn’t schedule me for work until Saturday night, which means at most I will probably work three days next week. Well, I guess I needed a small kick in the pants to get to work on our other ventures and get out of the (relative) security of the restaurant. But really, I’m glad. I feel like I was beginning to rely on it too much for my weekly income. Time to get my butt in gear.

We’re currently waiting to find out what our payout for Squidoo is, it seems they’ve been having some server issues the past couple of days. But our affiliate earnings through our lenses are up to $23.00, and we earned $50.00 this weekend while we were away on a couple of our other websites. Pretty exciting! Now, only $327.00 to go for the rest of the week. I better start listing…

Reason #564734 why it is good to have a (large) reserve and not be in our position of trying to get out of debt:

It looks like our roommate will be moving out into his new home by the end of the month. Looks like that little bit of income will be gone now. Le sigh.

We had to decide to not go to New Orleans for our school’s homecoming this year, despite our strong desire to do so. I guess I am growing up now or something…

Also, between the fiance needing new glasses, both our cars needing their respective check-ups, and the dishwasher kicking the bucket, we are digging into our savings. Well, the good side is that we’re NOT using our cards.

That check from the Antique Booth will be AWESOME. Now, to move onto work…
