Calculating his demise

"I had Lola on the couch with me last night, and she was just staring at me."

"Oh, yea? What do you think she was thinking about? Was she gathering intelligence?"

"Like, when she's going to kill me?"

"Yea."

"'He's still too strong for me. He could still take me down. I'll wait about two years then kill him...

Wait, I have no sense of time!

Has it been two years? I don't know!

Could I kill him yet?

No, he's still too strong. I'll wait about two years then kill him.'"

Creature of habit - Part 2

I'm at it again. I just went to make some afternoon tea and look at my spoons!

Colorful sky

We had a fantastic sunset last night. My house faces east so mostly enjoy sunrises, but last night the whole sky was brilliant shades of pink, orange and red.

When I first stepped outside the sky looked like this:

I played with the dogs for a while. They were being so cute bouncing all over the garden.

Everything had an indescribable reddish glow:

Probably because the sky was doing this:

And then I broke the news that it was time to go inside...

PayPerPost

Thomas emailed me today with a new blog venture. It's called PayPerPost and basically you can get paid to blog! The service, in a nutshell, brings advertisers and bloggers together. Advertisers post products or services, bloggers can choose which items fit their blog audience and what they'd like to write about that day. There are lots of different variables that must be met before a post will be approved. Some advertisers require a certain number of words in the post or the put a time limit on the ad. After you've posted and they've checked it out, you get paid!

I recommend checking it out, it's a pretty cool set up and easy to use. They seem to have good products to write about too, things like digital cameras and cookware. The only thing I don't like that I've seen so far is that not all advertisers will accept posts from BlogSpot users.

I hope to make a little extra money off of PayPerPost. I am always skeptical of new ideas and I don't want to get my hopes up. They have lots of positive reviews from longtime users that say how much money they've made, but if I can make enough money to buy a new pair of shoes or take my husband out for sushi then it's well worth my efforts. I suppose that's all I want in life...

Even Design

You know how you see neat stuff throughout the year and think, "Oh, that would be a great Christmas gift for me!" Well that is what I think when I go to the Even Design website.

Judi Patson makes not-so-traditional sterling silver jewelry. From necklaces with little Lego pieces to refillable rings with glow sticks inside, her jewelry is out of the ordinary.

My favorite is this ruler ring:

I love these bubble level cufflinks, a great gift for the well dressed man in your life:

I like this ring because it reminds me of a bowl Thomas has for various bits and pieces from around the garage:

As with any well made, unique item, it comes at a price. All items shown start at $176.
