random thoughts on some blog stuff.

i'm feeling random. and well. some things are either super lame or pretty fab. i'll tell ya which is which.


Google ad sense!- whoohoo i'm all the way up to earning a whopping $19.78 in over a year. LAME! since you can't cash it in until a month after you've reached $100.i'm still plugging along. but i often question why.


TOP MOMMA! i've lasted 3 weeks and 2 days. WHOOHOOO! way longer than i thought i'd last.

Boutique stuff. i'm thinking it's totally not worth it. i'm just not cut out for selling my talents. i'm still making the glitter cups. but it's not my fave craft, at least not the process anyway. they are coming along though, and i see myself pulling yet another all nighter. which is stupid on my part. i'd take a picture to tempt you and show you my progress but i locked the door to that room, and Pierce stole my camera and took it upstairs far away. so just chalk it up to i'm too lazy to take a picture of the progress, you MIGHT get to see the finished product though. maybe. tomorrow.

Pierce's developmental and speech evaluation went FLAWLESSLY! the kid is right on for regular fine and gross motor skills. but has a 50% delay in his speech( receptive and expressive language). WHOOHOO! so that means he gets to have speech. and will probably get into speech preschool automatically. i may just be the only mom in the world happy their kid qualifies for that? well if i'm alone in that. that's FINE BY ME! HALLELUJAH!

down side is he needs an eval with the ENT for his hearing , and to check out his raspy voice. so that requires follow up on my part. one more appointment i need to schedule and drag people to. yay me.

in other news i am EXHAUSTED! a few nights in a row up past 2 am, and no nap and i am BEAT. SO TIRED! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

oh and extra bonus when i was about to go up to bed around 2:30am i was putting away my craft supplies, and i heard a door open and close. i found pierce in the hall way. awake and upset. he must have had a bad dream, climbed out of his crib again, and let himself out. AGAIN! in the middle of the night. i had to block all the exits. and bring him to bed with me where he fussed and cried for an hour. then crowded us all night long. he was laying so close to me i couldn't move. yay me! super LAME!

so that is what i've been thinking about for the last few minutes. aren't you glad i share?

i wonder what you have to say.... please share.

do you have google ad sense?

has it paid off for you??

do you like to sell your crafts/talents?

or do you prefer to hoard your talents to yourself? and gift your craftiness?


ok, Have a fab day.

i need a cold beverage, and a nap.

I like your random thoughts...I'm afraid that if I published mine lately no one would ever read my blog again. :)

I took my Adsense off. I think I may have cleared a buck fifty before that. RAD!

I hear ya on the late nights crafting! Sooo tired, going super slow with everything I do. I hope that selling the crafts is worth the work. I guess we'll find out soon enough. A little cash in hand for Black Friday might make the whole ordeal seem really fabulous!

Sorry about the late nights! I have been exhausted too and finally got a little nap today. Yay for Pierce! Sucks on the appt's but yay that he will get in. And I hear ya on the crafts, I always think I should do it, then I never charge enough to make it worthwhile. See ya tomorrow night!

Wow you are burning the candle at both ends this week.

I don't use the ad's they don't make much money so I don't want to bother.

I don't really craft anything I could sell. The thing is with my life I barely can keep my house and kids taken care of. Another things... would send me over the edge for sure!

Hey, I left you some bloggy bling over at THT!

ZB said...

20 bucks huh? Not bad. I wouldn't earn a penny, so I think 20 is pretty great.

jes said...

i must just be crazy, it is totally worth it...it is like a party. you will have fun.

goingsome said...

No, I don't have google ad sense. I didn't think it would pay enough and you just confirmed it. Thanks for confirming what I already thought I knew.

I am not crafty enough to sell my crafts. When I come up with a good one, which is pretty rare, I keep it for myself and gift it away during the holidays.

Glad to hear that someone else has been up really late this week. Me too! I can't help but "steal" some time for myself. I love a quiet house and can't bring myself to go to bed, though I am cranky the next day.

i am ready to ditch my adsense. nobody ever clicks it. i click yours All.The.Time. i promise.

It's me again... Oh, oh, don't stop reading yet... I promise to say something worthwhile this time!

My friend Pam is organizing a private theatre showing of Twilight at the theatre at San Tan Marketplace. She has to have enough tickets sold to make it worthwhile. The goal here is to pay $10/ticket (a couple extra bucks over normal price) and have no one sit in the floor seats. It's open to anyone, but she needs the $10 by tomorrow in order to reserve the theatre. She still needs quite a few more people to reserve seats in order to make this shindig happen. Thought you might be interested and perhaps know a few others... Anyhow, I detailed it on the blog, if you wanna come look. :)

Hooray for the speech delay! You know how I feel about it. I was dang excited when Bren made it in. Yeah! Our kids get to ride the short bus! And, I am not a good enough crafter to make any money at it. I do it for fun myself, but I am slow. And my efforts are mediocre at best.

yeah, i had google add sense. i took it off, it was a waste of time. Ok, miss glitter! I hope you do well in your sales.
