Thank you, Ashley, for picking me as your JuJu giveaway winner! I'm so excited to use my new piece of home decor. Now to find a place a place for it...
It's Monday and August is more than half over. Where does the summer go? As much as I'm enjoying getting home while it is still sunny, I'm looking forward to autumn. I am not a fan of heat and humidity - I prefer to be in hoodies and sweaters than tanktops and flipflops.
Cody and I just got back from our first and only vacation of the summer. Does being gone Friday to Sunday count as a vacation? I hope so...especially since it took 5 hours to get there. As much as we wanted to go to Ocean City, MD, we decided on Lake George, NY. It was more driving, but it was well worth it.
We stayed at the Sprucewood Motel in a cute little cabin. It was such a great find! The motel is located about 2 miles outside of town and right at the end of the trolley route. Although there was no beach access, supposedly the campground across the street lets you use their beach. We spent most of the time in the pool - it was clean and shaded and we had it all to ourselves. We did a lot of walking downtown (as small as a downtown it is), ate some good food, and even went horseback riding. It was very low-key, but perfect for us.
Anyway, I'm super proud of my spending situation lately. I did a good job while away, but I could definitely use extra funds. If I could knock out my car insurance and/or phone bill with money I get from doing side jobs, I'll be set. Does anyone have any ideas for making extra money? I wouldn't mind babysitting, but I don't really have references. I've never waitressed - plus I hear waitressing jobs are few and far between these days.
My best spur of the moment ideas was to put up an ad on Craig's List - kind of like an "I'll do whatever (within reason) to get paid!" Yard work, baby sitting, tutoring, so on and so forth. So far, I've gotten a response from one woman to do yard work at her place in Bala Cynwood. Hopefully this one job turns into more.
I wish those work from home signs I see all over the place were legit. Grrr.
