A Long Long Long Time.

Since I last post.   So here is a bullet point brief update:

  • I had been through 3 different potions, and am unemployed.  Two I left, most recently I was laid off
  • I completed my first year of grad school, and am just starting my second.  I am now dual concentrating in Marketing/Project Management.   I am eventually going to get either my DBA  (Doctor of Business Administration) or D, Mgt. (Doctor of Management) 
  • I changed gyms and I am using myfitnesspal.com to track my food intake. 
  • I am still madly and crazy in love with Jim.  He is truly my rock. 


It's been a while, and I wanted to revisit why I wanted to do this and make sure that with my limited time available that I was realistic with my goals.

So that being said, I still want to blog.   I still enjoy writing.  I think their is a lack of blog about adult mid-age married childless grad students.

I need to update how I am keeping track of the latest position search, as well as the rest that I have going on.  What my notebook looks like now, and my fitness/health goals objective updates.  It's evolved as I went through my first year of classes.  Which I expected.

But right now...  I am making my way back.

Things I do to save/earn money these days

Since I have decided to go back to school, I have also taken it upon myself to try and save money, and earn money. 1)  Survey Savvy is a survey company I take survey for. They actually pay in cash rather than redeemable points.   https://www.surveysavvy.com/?m=5669477 2) I am in the process of learning/relearning the art of clipping coupons.  I get a bunch of them from here:  http://www.coupons.com/ .   In addition to that, I am also clipping store specific coupons, like Target, so that I can "stack" the savings by purchasing items on sale, and using a coupon.   I also visit  http://coupondivas.com/  as well as  cartwheel from Target and I just got approved for a Red Card which offers a 5% saving each time I use it.  HOWEVER, it's got a 22% interest rate, so it will need to be payed off each month in full. 3) I am clipping coupons for stuff I know we will eat.  Menu Planning is not our thing, however if the house is stocked wi...

So this is Christmas... Preparation that is.

Well not exactly at this moment.  I still have to sit on the porch and hand out candy to any strange children that meander up the walk in costumes.   However, I just singed up to do The Christmas Pledge with this nice lady who runs this blog somewhere in Canada.  She does a lot of stuff.   Here's the link:  http://www.theartofdoingstuff.com/the-christmas-pledgetake-2/ So I am also annoucing it here, because maybe between the two place I have a shot in hell of getting it done.  So I can focus on my final for Statistics. Now I go hunt down the Holiday Cards.... ~ Jen

I've been sick, but this... this is sick the likes of which I have not felt in a while. My stomach has been in the midst of something. I am not sure if it was the new diet, the flu, or something that I have yet to figure out... but my word it was bad. At least I have a pretty bathroom full of ducks.  Though the art in the back moved to another wall. I love this bathroom.  The shelves are from Ikea, and are actually picture ledges. Which turned out the be the perfect size for ducks to sit upon and they are narrow enough that I am not constantly bumping into ducks.  Yes, we have duck current, but it's simple classic yellow ducks and yellow duck rings on the rod.  It's cook, it works, and it is so us. Speaking of projects, we re-purposed another Ikea item.  It was a DVD holder.  I cannot find these any more and I cannot figure out what their name was.  However Jim wanted to use it as a book case and I wanted to toss it.  When I suddenly realized...
