Lots O Pics

My front porch...it is so cute ain't it??
I wish Id taken when when more flowers were blooming, the pansy's look sad.
The wicker set was from the tree lawn, I spray painted it to make it whiter and it is so cute!



The pansy's aren't doing well (they were early summer), but this curly grass is doing great, I just LOVE it! It looks fake. (See Milo in the window??)

You give a city woman, .24 acres and she grows corn...LOL.
It is so cute...who will get to eat the 1 ear of corn??

waterfall...this is what happens when you leave the hose on and go play on facebook;)


Hey at least they have extra room to play, right?

This is what we found in our pool after a few days of rain...ICK.




These are our tadpoles (3), 2 now have full back legs and overnight grew front legs.
They are so incredibly cute!!

This was one of our frogs, they were so itty bitty.

Awe, I miss them already. All 3 frogs died=(

Wordless Wednesday ::At the River::

Do I really make any money?

I have sold stuff on ebay for years. I used to keep very good track of exactly how much I would make for each item after, insertions fees, final value fees, shipping, fees from paypal etc. I think I made decent $ for each item back then, but now...fees are higher and I don't keep as good track of all the fees that pile up, so I really don't think I make anything after all is said and done.
I need to market my items better.
It also seems like the more you have up the more you sell.
I need to learn more of the ins and outs.
Like I heard if your auction ends on Thursday it is more likely to sell...seems true for me.
Maybe I need to do a LOT of clothing instead of 1-2 items.
But I recelty heard about free online auctions, definitley worth looking into, but new companies like this scare me, there seems to always be a catch. Have you heard of them???
I will keep you updated if I fins out anything else.

Maybe....

....since he got what he wanted I could talk him into getting me my own elliptical, then my lazy butt that needs to loose a few pounds can just work out at home....but then again maybe going to the gym won't be too bad when the kids start school in the fall (well only about 26 more days really...), something has to happen, I want to be pre-baby weight, it has been almost 5 years, no more excuses.

Lucky Duck

I was a lucky duck a few Christmas's ago when my hubby VERY much surprised me with my very own iPhone, I was the cool girl on the block;)
But now HE is the cool one...he went out and upgraded his iPhone to a 3G S today!
His is the owner of his company and really needed a phone, so he gets to write it off...as well as 80% of his phone bill!
Me, well I am not an employee, so therefore, it is all our cost...and since I am home all day with 2 computers, I really don't need a 3G S. It would be fun, but not needed by any means.

Now don't think we are a family that runs out and buys the newest gadgets like iPhones, game systems and Mp3 players, because generally we aren't.
The only other NEW thing Id like to get is a Nintendo DS I...it takes pictures...and you can dress up the pictures with funny eyes etc...I just think it be fun for the kids...but we will wait until we can get a used one for cheap...maybe a Christmas present?

Oh and by the way my husband deserves any new thing he wants...he works his butt off for us, so if he wants something I usually insist!
Just not a kayak;)
