What color orange are you?

I finally figured out the RSS thing, and how neat-o it is.  My Internet Explorer even has a feed reader built right into it, and I have feeds!  So….I was looking through all of the new posts from the other blogs I like to visit and I found a link to this neat little quiz on The Tall Poppy’s blog.  It’s called what color orange are you?  I love fall, and all of the fall decorations.  It is very hard for me to go into the craft store (or any store for that matter) and not spend every penny I have on all of the fall/holiday decorations. I do manage to refrain, but it is hard.  I love the golds, browns, reds and purples that come with fall.  Apparently some people don’t….go figure.  Anyway, I took the orange quiz and here is what I am (apparently a Pumpkin…..cute)

You Are Pumpkin

Realistic and practical, you see the world for how it is. You know what it takes to succeed in life… And you’re happy to help others reach their goals.

What Color Orange Are You?

I just moved….to WordPress

I guess I decided that blogger just wasn’t going to cut it….so now I’m on WordPress.  There seems to be more flexibility and options here.  My husband also decided to start a weight-loss journal to help him reach his goals.  If you’d like to check it out you can find him at www.bodytransformation.wordpress.com.  I’m still learning all about WordPress..hopefully I’ll be making some sense on here soon.

Thou Shalt Clean

I decided to go and try the homemade hair gel recipe, and while I was waiting for it to cool and set, I spent a little time browsing through the Idea Queen’s blog again. This time finding Lara’s Thou Shalt Clean blog. Another fantastic resource! As a mom of young children, and having a home-based business…I definitely need to maximize all of my time. I am definitely organizationally challenged Instead of procrastinating because I can’t do it all perfect right NOW, I just need to spend a few (18) minutes doing SOMETHING instead of nothing! I am going to add this one to my blogroll? too (hope I’m using that right…ugh). Maybe, if I can figure out the RSS feed thing, I will subscribe so I can have her latest updates all of the time. She even posts REAL pictures of her home and office! WOW! Looks like the office of someone who is NOT born organized, but know how to get there!

Thanks Lara, I can’t wait to start making a difference!

P.S….for those of you that actually understand blogrolls and rss, if you have some simple instructions…I’d love to hear it!

Idea Queen Tips Blog

Wow! This blog is awesome! The Idea Queen is full of money-saving tips, tricks, recipes and fun! I spent quite a bit of time just browsing through all of the wonderful ideas she has. I found a great recipe for homemade hair gel…yep..that’s right…homemade hair gel. I can’t wait to try it, I even have all of the ingredients in my cupboard! She has recipes for homemade bubble bath, school lunch recipes (to help minimize the boring same-ol’, same-ol’, and a healthy alternative to overprocessed lunch-in-a-packages), inexpensive Christmas crafts, chore lists, projects with magnets, and much, much more. I just can’t believe all of the information and great ideas she has! I know I will be stopping by frequently! If I could figure out how to work my blog properly, I would add her to my favorites, or blogroll….hmmm…I feel an upcoming project! LOL
Since Halloween is getting near, I thought I’d also share some of the pages the Idea Queen has for yummy treats, spongebob costumes, and pumpkin carving patterns. Be sure to check them out!
Thank you Idea Queen for your awesome ideas, and resources!

Sending money online and via your cellphone

I was introduced to a great new service today. It’s called Obopay. You can send money via your cell phone to anyone else with a cell phone. It has hardly any fees, especially compared to PayPal. They also have an optional prepaid mastercard to go with it. You get $10 just for signing up, and $5 for each referral you send. Sounds pretty good to me
