I haven't beena round much this month. I think part of it is because money is so tight, and I don't have a lot to blog about. I do notice, however, that when I blog close-to-daily, I am better at staying on track.
I'm kinda bummed I missed my blog-o-versatry here. I missed it last year, too.
I had a job interview this past week. Seemed to go pretty well. She even told me during the interview that she had another position in mind for me. Whoo-hoo! And, after stating that they never did this in interviews, she asked what my availability was. Sounds promising!
Not much else has been going on. I sold a few items on ebay the last two weeks. Most were small $5) items, but I did sell a Mickey Mouse pen I had for almost $30. It's a pen I was given years ago (like 15 years ago) when I was big into Mickey stuff. I've never even used it; it just sat in its box all these years. So I listed it, thinking I'd get maybe $10 at the most for it. But the winning bid was for $27.55. Not too shabby!
As a result of the ebaying, I've made $50.78. It's a nice little chunk of change for barely any work. I wish I could add it all the the Challenge, but I am STILL not working full time yet, so I am going to follow the 10% rule.
And when I checked my balance in this account the other day, it was $3 higher than my records say it should have been. Somewhere along the line I added in an extra $3 and I didn't note it, so I am adding in to the total now.
Old House Fund Balance: $367.86
10% Ebay Income: $5.08
Extra surprise: $3.00

New House Fund Balance: $375.94
I missed my blog-o-versary!
