Summertime

Can you believe it's here already?   So what are you doing to keep the kids busy while you work?

I was soooo prepared this year!   I bought a laptop, I spent weeks learning all about wireless cards and plans and how to make myself mobile.

I yelled at the phone company for not shipping my card overnight when they were supposed to.  I spent hours on the phone with tech support to get the card working.

This was two weeks ago.   I have had the laptop away from home maybe twice in that time frame! 

The idea was that it would make me more mobile.   My daughter could go to the park or the pool and I could still get work done. 

This is still the plan and we have a long summer ahead of us but all in all.   I had no need to be in such a hurry!   Still... it's nice to know we can pack up and go whenever we want! 

What have we been doing instead?  She has had friends over every single day.    Yesterday we had two friends over.. today we just have one.... tommorow.. Im hoping for the park myself!

Keeping up to date

This is probably one of my biggest pet peeves and one of my own downfalls. 

Do you keep your websites and blogs up to date?   Do you regularly go through and check all the links to make sure they still work?  

How often do you update your blogs and your refresh your advertising?

I am really trying to get better about that this week.  Of course right now I have some motivation and incentive to get to work and get things done but wow.. there has certainly been a lot of time in between my getting updated and my being lazy.

I really hate nothing more than going to a website and clicking a link only to find that it no longer works.  I also hate going to a blog or a message board and seeing that nothing has happened in months.   So guess what I have been doing?   I've been letting this happen to my own sites.

Last week a nice person let me know I had some dead links so I immediately stopped and fixed them all.   He was so impressed that I would actually clean things up... Personally.. I was embaressed that I had links that were dead! 

Sooo the moral of this story is let's turn this into clean up your websites and add to your blogs week!   Anyone want to join me?

Selling on Ebay

We have touched on Ebay as a work at home business in the past and lately Im seeing it come up a lot again. 

If you want to work at home and start making money right away, Ebay is definately the way to go.

If you have a home, you probably have items that can be sold.   If you really don't want to part with any of your things you can always go out to the second hand stores and yard sales.   It never fails to amaze me how you can place something as innocuous as a deck of cards on ebay and SOMEONE will pay $10 for the privelege of owning them.
