Not Sure About Ebay Anymore... 2008-04-08 23:30:00 I got a wild hair & put up some auctions on Ebay tonight... (Selling some of my spring cleaning cast offs).Personally, it's been since the end of October, that I have listed anything.A lot of changes have taken place...Listing an item & fee structure are very different.It also said that my earnings will be frozen in PayPal for a couple of weeks too...Because I don't have a detailed feedback rating.(Even though I have a 100% positive 92 feedback score).Interesting to say the least!I managed to put up six auctions tonight & have about ten more to do.I'm debating whether I should see how these go before doing the others...But I'll probably do them anyway - what the heck?!Does anybody else sell on Ebay anymore... I'm really curious???
Into the Wild... 2008-04-10 20:30:00 Have you ever thought about walking away from the pursuit of making money to live a life closer to nature?And I mean real nature - the kind portrayed here...There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; There is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is a society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in it's roar: I love not man the less, but nature more... - Lord ByronThis is the nature Christopher McCandless desired - and he pursued it.His life journey is documented in a book by Jon Krakauer, called "Into the Wild" (1996).There is also a film by the same title, released in 2007, and directed by Sean Penn.I watched it last week.It was intense.Since I haven't read the book... I can only comment on the film.The film's premise is Christopher's opposition to his parent's financially
Buddy & Fugee, & An Update... 2008-04-16 22:45:00 The dogs are so happy!!They have been in heaven. Hanging out in the yard soaking up the sunshine and not really being bothered by bugs. That is the best thing about this time of year for them - not too many bugs! (Buddy
is the sleepy eyed gray beard & Fugee is the brown-eyed nose).Hubby finally got to ride his Harley to work this morning - but still froze. The weatherman might have said it was 51 degrees outside... but on the interstate riding to work - pretty darn chilly. He loved it though! He has been itching to get that thing out of the garage for almost 5 months.The oldest son gave the youngest son a proposal to mull over. Now that he is no longer living with his ex-girlfriend... he asked the youngest son, his brother, to move in. Decisions, decisions, decisions!!! It wi Read more:Update

Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play...Here is my six word memoir... Children and gardens, she grew well.I'm not going to specifically tag anybody...So if you haven't all ready been tagged and want to do it - take this as your cue to go for it!!!(That is one of my gardens from a couple of years ago - where the bird house gourds just went crazy)!!!

Prioritizing & Balance... 2008-04-23 11:30:00 I love Spring -We finally get to turn off the overworked furnace and open some windows.Besides saving money on the utility bill, it's so nice to feel the outside air and sunshine coming into the house!All the rebirth of the plants, birds, and little critters outdoors ... makes me feel a part of something bigger than myself.When I started this blog (six months ago this past Sunday) - I titled it "One Woman's Journey Through Finances, Health, and Spirituality."These were the topics I was interested in talking about.Don't they also seem somewhat intertwined?Time has taught me that when these three things are in the proper balance - they all thrive!Balance
is a tricky thing though - not always easy to achieve!I have been working on the "balance" skill for nearly 30 years.I'm finally starting t
I'm Done... 2008-04-27 21:00:00 I've been so close to hitting the "delete this blog" button twice now. But I thought that wouldn't be a very nice thing to do without a good-bye & to say thanks for all the positive energy sent my way! This blogging experience has taught me so much! More than I can express in words & I am so grateful for it! I've had a lot of fun writing posts, visiting other blogs, & getting to know all the really cool people in the personal finance blogosphere. It's just time for me to focus my time and energy in a different direction. Bye...God Bless & Have a Fabulous Summer!
