51 Days and It's Going Well...REALLY Well

After 51 days of being scared of holding only a part time job, I have found that working from home 4 days and going to work for only 3 days in a week suits me rather nicely. It has almost become normal now. Well, for me anyhow.
It seems that when people see you at home they forget that you might actually be doing something- not just open to every opportunity to run out here and there. Friends, family- all think you have "free time" now because you don't go to a regular job. I have to say that I am THE most undisciplined work at home person and it is taking ALL the fight in me to stay focused. Well, you know what they say- after 60 days everything becomes a habit- maybe I can get these folks trained after all!
What am I doing with my "free time"? The first and foremost thing I wanted was to be more devoted to going to church with regularity. Wednesday night for Bible study and Saturday night for church. I am thankful for what God has given me. I always said that when something bad happens to you it is just God opening another door. Can't wait to see what's going to happen!
I have also been spending time researching new avenues of marketing and selling on the internet. Of course I have found Twitter and, while at first I did not get it, I now LOVE it and see the marketing value in it. I also have Facebook, but I like to keep it personal for friends. But don't think I don't market to them on a regular basis!
While on Twitter I noticed a large group of folks marketing their Etsy stores. Well, after a month and a half of that I finally signed up! Best thing I've done recently! This group of folks has been the most welcoming community I have found so far. Within hours I had my first paid order! Lots of traffic there so it should be good! Check it out at: www.morgenbladet.etsy.com I am so glad to have found a new venue to market the goods! Take a look at the other people selling there as well- lots of good stuff to be found!
My other venue is eBay- my old faithful! I have been a regular seller on eBay since 2003 and it has always provided me the extra money I have needed. Now it just needs to provide more. Which means... MORE SHOPPING! Got to have product! Lord knows I have a lot, but now I have more! I am finding that I am going to have to be better organized as there is just NO place to put anything here!
Aside from that I had the time last night to spend with two 13 year old boys- my boyfriend's son and his friend, Justin. They were bored so we stood in the soft rain for awhile, got some pizza and watched Marley and Me. Does it get any better than that? I bet it will....
