Saturday August 30

Good afternoon to all.
I started out this morning doing a recap post on gather of featured members from my own group. I got that done and realized I better get to the farmers market. I bought apples, potatoes, zucchini and a cantaloupe. From the farmers market I headed out to Home Depot to use my gift card I had earned from gather. I had no idea that shelving cost so much! I ended up using my entire card on some plastic shelving. Then, I did buy a plastic tote on a good sale.
I am finally getting the basement in order...well, attempting anyway. I hauled a bunch of stuff out to the garage last night that should have been taken out there when we moved it. This frees up a space where I am going to put the sturdy card table and pile it with mom's boxes and then put what I can on the shelf that I bought.

Today I will share a photo essay that I did on my cat and some toads, it's kind of cute. Ichygo and the Toads--photo essay
By the way, I cashed out for another $50 in amazon on gather yesterday putting me another step closer to getting that laptop.

Until tomorrow, have a glorious day!

Today is Araya's 3rd birthday. My mom is getting the cake in the oven right now, and I will frost it and decorate it once it is cooled.
i am just about to wrap her gift from me, which is a pair of squeaker tennis shoes that I bought online at a party several months ago.

The day is nice, and so far is going well. I will finish reading Superdove today and get my review written either this evening or tomorrow. For today I want to share this with you that I posted on gather. Headstart Kick off--August 22--photo essay

My keyboard is giving me grief with caps..it's not wanting to work and I am having to go over the letter that are to be capitalized over and over. I better think of saving for a new keyboard too...always something.

You all have a great day and I will chat with you tomorrow.

Thursday August 28

Much better morning today not waking up to a headache. I did sleep in 20 minutes past the alarm going off.
I work today then I am off work until Tuesday with Monday being a paid holiday, got to love those.
Heather will have her math tutoring today and my mom her doctor appointment, but I believe that is it. I wish my check would come in from wellness360 so that I can do a little grocery shopping.

Today I am going to share my weekly freebies post from gather. As of next week I am changing the title to mail call. Freebies--Week of August 17

Until tomorrow, here is wishing you a good day,
Marsha

Wednesday August 27

What a morning! I went to bed with a migraine. I took an Excedrin migraine which usually helps to not wake up with a migraine, but I did. I fixed my breakfast drink, took another Excedrin migraine and just sat until the pain started to subside. So...I got a really late start this morning on the computer and I have to be at work in 15 minutes.
We woke up to lots of lightening and loud thunder. I think it is supposed to rain most all day.
We kicked some behind in bowling last night and we had lots of fun.
I took some pictures for the summerpics promo at gather, but I will share those another day.

Today I want to share my photo essay on our church painting day. Church Painting Day--August 16--Photo Essay

There are no appointment on my calendar today, but this is Ariel and Araya's first day at Headstart. They are excited. With me having the only vehicle it means I have to let Elizabeth take me to work so she can get them to school, then come back and pick me up. The heath department just called to and got Heather in for a 10:35 am appointment, so Liz will also have to take her there.

I better get on to work. Have a very blessed day!

Tuesday August 26

Good morning!
It's another busy day here. Right after I get off work I have to get Heather to her math tutoring. As soon as Heather is done we have to get Jasmine to her dentist appointment. Then, this evening is our first bowling league night! That I am looking forward to.

I found a van that I want to buy, now I just have to figure out how to come up with the $3000 I need LOL I guess wish me luck there! It is on a lot where I can pay $1000 down and $50 a week if I could figure that part out too.

Today's gather article I want to share is a flower photo essay.Summer Flowers--Photo Essay

I need to be on to piepoints and reallysmartdeals and whatever else I can get done before work. I will leave you today by saying...

Have a glorious day!

Monday August 25

Off I will go to work in 45 minutes but I wanted t make sure to get my blogpost in for the day.
I ran through today's busy schedule in yesterday's post. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I made sure to put the book Superdove in my purse. I am hoping to have it read by Wednesday to get my book review written on it.

I put in 7 photos at gather for the promo this morning. I took some random summer pics yesterday and I hope to get them on to my computer and in to a photo essay this evening. Today I will share part 2 of our trip to the zoo. Hutchins Zoo--August 20--Photo Essay 2

It's going to take me awhile to get in to an internet schedule on what I need to get done before work each day. It will come and things will work out.

Have an awesome day!

Sunday August 24

It has been pouring down rain since about when I woke up this morning. Doesn't look like it will let up anytime soon.
We have chosen to stay home from church this morning, but I do hope to make it to Bible study this evening.
Lord of the Rings movies are in all day starting soon. I plan on watching them as maybe doing so will help me get more in to the Lord of the Rings curriculum that I am doing with the girls.

I have been doing quite a few photo essays along with my regular posts on gather with the promotion going on. Today I will share part 2 of the Zoo. Hutchinson Zoo August 20--Photo Essay 2

We would sort of like to go bowling for the $1 a game this afternoon and practice up for league starting, but then again we don't want to go. Time will tell on that one.
Tomorrow is an EXTREMELY busy day. Allen to school and back, Ariel and Araya both have doctor appointments, Heather has a doctor appointment, my mom has her doctor appointment, we need to shop at Walgreens, mom has Avon orders to deliver, and I have work too!
I won't have much computer time tomorrow at all but will do the best I can.

I am off for today and I hope everyone has a good day.

That cool morning didn't last long yesterday as we got in to the triple digits. Looks like another hot day too.
My son was able to jump start my van, but I will need a new battery as soon as I can save up to get it.
I did work through a lot of my programs yesterday, including some of my traffic exchanges to get some of my other websites seen.

I am up to a total of 179 photos posted on gather so far which is past my goal and I still have more to post. This is such a wonderful point promotion they are doing. Today I will share the 1st photo essay of 2 on our local zoo. Hutchinson Zoo--Aug. 20--Photo Essay 1

I just got back from the farmers market where we had hoped to get some broccoli, cantaloupe and watermelon. Still I seen no broccoli, must be a bad season for it. The cantaloupes were all sold out, but I did get a watermelon and then 5 cucumbers. My mom still has $14 of her government vouchers to spend at the farmers market.

I guess I am off to see what I can get done on this computer. I'm sure there will be some sort of plans this evening whether it be swimming, or watching a movie.

Have a great day!

Friday August 22

I was going to head to work in 20 minutes but when Elizabeth went out to take Allen to school this morning she found the battery dead on my van. The guys we found to help jump it say the battery is totally gone. It wouldn't even spark. I don't know what I am going to do now as we are struggling to keep food in our stomachs right now so sure don't have money to replace a battery.
I will get to clicking in every program I can today, maybe I can reach payout in a couple of them.

In the meantime, over at gather I have put in 100 photos for a total of 1,000 bonus points. I will direct you to 1 of the zoo photo essays today, and if you click from there to view all the images from the post and click on some of the pictures too that way, it will really help me out.

Have a great day! It's supposed to be hot today around 100 but right now it's damp and chilly and looking like rain.

Oh my goodness! I didn't mean to get to my blog so late.
We had a really good time at the park and zoo yesterday. The kids really loved it. I started out this morning by getting the pics on to the computer and re-sizing them. Then out of 60 pics I took, I used 36 of them in 3 different photo essays. So,360 bonus points will be coming my way tomorrow.
I will share one of those photo essays today of the kids in the park area. Fun at the Park--August 20--Photo Essay

I so exhausted. My running today started at 12:45 and just ended. I am so hungry that I am weak but supper will be done soon. Hopefully that will help my energy level as well. I don't have any evening plans other than making what money I can here on the computer.
Tomorrow morning I do have to work getting my bus aide training. Then later in the afternoon they are having a water fun and watermelon feed at Headstart. That should be both fun and relaxing.

Have a great evening!
