I just started a new blog, and I'm pretty excited about it. It's not the personal, meandering thoughts you find here, nor the household hint goodies on my In Pursuit of Domestic Greatness blog. No, this blog encompasses another hidden passion of mine...parties!  I love attending them, planning them, talking about them...I sometimes think I should have been an event planner!  Anyway, RSS feed my new blog. It's www.PartyPlanningDiary.com.

I need to earn some buckage. I've had slim pickin's on Pay Per Post. Nothing on Blogsvertise. I'm considering an About.com job. Does anybody have suggestions? I'm open to anything! What blog writing programs do you belong to?

Speaking of them money earning front...I have applied for something I really have only heard of the last couple of years, but it sounds like an amazing position. It's as a paraprofessional for the school district. A lady at church suggested it, and since then, it's come up in conversation many times. The more I investigated, the more interested I became. See, I refused to get an education degree because I did NOT want to be like Mom. I was denying the fact that I'm JUST like my Mama, though, so I kind of feel like I missed the degree I should have had. Now I regret it. So this would be a way to bond with the children, working with them and the teachers in a classroom setting, despite the fact that I don't have the credentials. So, we'll see what happens with that. Prayers appreciated!

Tomorrow, Emily and I are heading to Bodies Revealed. Emily's friend's older sister will take the boys across the street to Kaleidoscope. We're meeting at Fritz's Railroad Cafe for lunch after the exhibit. How fun is that?
