I know, I am easily amused, but this cracked me up:

Skills to pay the bill... lol...
Yeah... if some of my blogs feel a bit like they were paid for by sponsers now and then... that is me earning my hay money. *big grin* Which is really one of the reasons why I started this blog, to make some money to supplement my non-existent income. And it is finally working! At some point in the future I will make a post about the places that find that actually DO pay you real money for blogging and such but that will be another day.
This weekend has been awful. Tsu has been working since saturday night. He has basically already worked his full work week, and friday he starts oncall. Ugh. He is so burned out he wants to ask his boss to lay him off and get the severance package. I think he is pissed at me for my reaction but now is really NOT the time to be willingly giving up a secure job. *panic*
On a brighter note, Mega Millions jackpot is up to over $250 mill. lol. I could use a few of those, hahaha!
My dad brought over a bunch of gourds last night. Nice thick big gourds, HUZZAH! So I have another two days of gourd scrubbing ahead of me. I'm still just disgusted by the failure of my entire gourd crop, but these should tide me over for a little while. Next year will be bad, though. With none to use from this year... *sad face*
Well, I will probably be making more "work" posts over the next few days now that I am finally getting some assignments. I promise to keep up with non-work posts as well, though.

Shopping for deals!!! Crafting and other things!
As anyone who reads my blogs knows I am a crafter. I do a lot of things, from sewing to gourd crafts to my passion for yarn and knitting. Because of this I am always looking for new resources. Recently I was made aware of a site called shopwiki.com. Now I am not big on shopping, but I am always looking for good deals on craft supplies as well as new information so I checked it out carefully and found a lot of interesting things.
Now you all know I'm not much into expensive things and I would rather carry a wallet on a chain than spend money on a designer handbag, But if I needed ideas for a designer handbag I could find info here!
Now I do use my laptop a lot, so I might be more likely to look up laptop bags... but not as likely as I would be to look up backpacks or a nice knitting basket (though to fit all my knitting junk into it I would need it to be huge!)
There are a lot of interesting buying guides as well as links to items for sale!
As an example, I wanted to look up knitting supplies so I went to shopwiki.com and searched for knitting . That came up with far more things than I wanted to sift through so I searched for knitting bags. When this didn;t get me what I wanted I went back to the main page and looked through the catagories, selecting "Arts and Crafts Buying Guide". Look at all that stuff!
Yup, I might not be in the market for designer handbags but there is plenty here to keep me occupied!
