Basement Finds

Gail — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:18:36 +0000

One of the best things about our house is the full basement that is dry and warm and perfect for storing stuff. I have been spring cleaning the main floor of the house and started a couple of boxes of junk that I didn’t want to toss out but want out of the way. Too much clutter makes me nuts. So I took two boxes of junk down to the basement and put them on a shelf.

Of course, once I got down there, I poked around and looked in a few of the other boxes that were down there from several months ago. I found a couple things that I’ve missed, but to be honest, most of it is just “stuff.” I’m thinking we need to have a yard sale in a couple weeks and turn some of that stuff back into cash.

Putting Them Down Once and For All

New Year’s Resolutions have never really been my cup of tea. But this year I am diving in, head first, with the promise of putting down the smoking of cigarettes that I have been participating in for way too long. The price of tobacco products has just gotten crazy and I’m tired of paying the high prices for something that is totally unhealthy for me. Wish me luck!

More and more people are turning to alternative methods to bring in some more much needed extra income, my one sister has emailed the family, shared her enthusiasm concerning her newest economic adventure with an online company that will assist her it the hosting of a silver jewelry home party. She is going to try it and if she likes it she will consider continuing on with their hostess offerings.

She is a people person and likes to be the social butterfly at all of the important parties and functions in and around town, she has a great network of people that she can draw on and would most likely do real well with a Sterling Silver Jewelry Home Party Company. She loves entertaining and is willing to travel, within reason so this could really be a good opportunity for her, she will have a blast, while helping pay some of the bills that have been building up and need attention quickly.

With AuraStella she will be receiving 30 to 35% commissions off of the retail sales that she turns around and she can earn free jewelry, which she is delighted with that prospect. She is also happy with the benefits package that they offer their hostesses and they have a good start up program for proper training.

Bye-Bye Verizon

It has been a long two year relationship with Verizon, my current cell phone provider. I can’t wait for the end of November to get here so I can finally say “Goodbye and Good Riddance” to anything to do with Verizon once and for all. I have heard that there are several websites that you can do comparison shopping with numerous cell phone providers and their plans and their phones that they have to offer and I plan on spending some time here real soon looking for them and seeing if they can help me find the best deal possible for my wants and needs.

Campbell Soup Labels for Schools

My mother just emailed me asking me to turn in all of the Campbell Soup labels that I have been collecting since school let out last summer. My little sister is not doing very well in English and my mother just found out the her English teacher is offering extra credit to her students in trade for these money making soup labels. And since I will be making an appearance on Christmas day I might as well bring along the baggie that is overflowing with these soup cans that I use a lot of,

Schools are really hurting for money as well as most of the other important businesses these days, so I have no problem saving these labels and doing my part in helping in the many fundraising opportunities that they school have to offer. And if my little sister can get some extra credit for my effort, I’m all for it!

Domino’s Rules

When I want a pizza, the only place that I call is Domino’s Pizza, I love their thin crust (if they don’t over cook it) and loaded with pepperoni with extra cheese. I always seem to find coupons that help off set the delivery charge, and I have always tried to be a generous tipper, so most of their drivers know me by now.

I just wish that they offered Pepsi products, but alas they are faithful to the Coca-Cola company and I prefer Pepsi, oh well we can’t have everything brought right to our door step no can we.
