Extra income

Anyone looking to earn some extra money (it's not much if you do occasionally but if you have extra time you can earn a decent amount), let me know. I've got an account with Toluna (surveys and polls and occasionally testing products), Superpoints (emails and offers), InboxDollars (paid emails and surveys), and SurveySavvy (surveys) among others. If you want to join one of those I'd love to refer you. Just send me a comment on here or email me at jones.ryanne@gmail.com and I'll send you the link to join. I've gotten money from both Toluna and InboxDollars. I haven't been working with SuperPoints very long and I stopped using SurveySavvy when I started school.

I'm doing this since my photos aren't selling and I'm not getting enough hours at work to be able to comfortably pay our bills. Thanks for anyone that wants to join.

Making changes

This year is going to be good.

This year I am going to love myself.

This year I am going to forgive people.

This year I am going to grow up.

This year I am going to start a family.

This year will be good.



The husband and I have finally decided to start trying to have a baby again. A couple weeks ago we started hinting to each other that we wanted one and that we thought we were ready. A friend (back in Michigan) found out she was pregnant the other day. (Completely a surprise, not planned at all) It made me realize that I really think I'm ready. I'm ready to stop smoking and drinking. I'm ready to stop freaking out about everything around me and focus on myself (during pregnancy). I'm ready to stop 'pretending to be an adult' and I'm ready to grow up. I see how much I love seeing other people's children and I love babying my puppy. At first waking up at night to take care of her was tiring. Now I'm used to it.
The only thing I need to work on is finding a good maternity insurance. My step-mother's insurance only covers in Michigan. I'm going to just look at regular insurances and see just how expensive they would be. My husband can still stay on his dad's for a while.
We have a house, we can pay our bills, we're getting close to having our degrees. I'm ready. He says that he wants this more than he's been saying. So now, it's time for me to relax, eat right, get healthy, and start trying. Wish us luck :-)
