Tough Times Out There

So it has been tough trying to find a job. Who would have thought it would be this hard but I will keep at it.

Things have been quiet otherwise on the home front. Zach is doing okay in school, his grades are fine but his attitude sucks! My husband is still working and no signs of lay offs at his job, (knocking on wood) so that is a plus. We have been lucky thus far, no car issues or computer issues. I do wait for the day my computer craps out! It is a few years old and you never really quite know what will happen. Unfortunately I depend on my computer for way to much! As long as I have plenty of computer memory all will be good!

With that said, I am off to iron some clothes for my hubs...

To Return To Work or Not

I haven't yet decided what I want to do yet. I would love to be my own boss and have a business. I know the economy is really poor right now and that is what keeps me on the fence. I have this new passion and it is making diaper cakes and baby shower gifts. I would love to be able to do this on a full time basis. But can we afford for me to do it?? There is alot that needs to be done, licences to obtain and of course a website. Right now I have been listing on EBAY but because of the economy I haven't sold them for very much, I want to be fair to people, but I want to make some money too. I also just found Etsy.com...they have much lower fess than EBAY, which is awesome. They are more for people like me who make crafts and who offer supplies. I have opened and Etsy store as well. I hope to one day stop using EBAY as my main source of sales.

If you want to check out my store, click the link on the right called Diamondssaphire's Diaper and Baby Shower Creations. Check back often too, I just started yesterday and have a few things up and will be adding more..

Gone in a Flash!

Income tax check came in handy this year. I wanted to save some of it, but my husband wanted to get stuff with it. We needed a new bed, no doubt about that and we did get one. It is nice, I haven't slept so well in such a long time. We also got a new tv, we didn't need that but my husband really wanted it and for once in my life, I gave in. We are now the owners of a 42" Plasma HD tv..ugh. I could care less about the tv. Yeah it is bigger and nicer to watch, but I am not into materialistic things, so it really doesn't phase me. We did not get the plasma mount, we almost ran out of extra money and my SUV needed new tires. We got those too..I had withdraw some money from the savings account, but you gotta do what you have to. So all in all we got what we needed and something we did not need. Next year, I get a laptop! (that was my compromise!!)

Life is Okay

So not much is changing on the job search. This week I am off to unemployment for a class on WIA funds. The said "Be on time, if you are late you will not be allowed in." Well, there are no issues with my ability to be on time..I can't stand being late.

Today I am supposed to go shopping with a friend. She is getting married and wants to pick up a few things..UGH. I really hate shopping. One of the things she wants is a corset so I told her to check out Shirley corset. Seeing it is an online store, she wasn't to thrilled about that. I was just trying to get out of going shopping. I mean, not like I have extra money to spend!! But I am going to go, I said I would and it will be nice to hang out with her since we don't get to do it that often..
