Do You Tweet???

SO I have decided to have two separate Twitter accounts: One for personal (@Dfiggz) and one for Forever Creative (@4everCreative) I was thinking one for Eightbeerz but I think I am getting out of control.

The reason behind this is because I have so many tweets per day and it is hard to keep track and it is hard to read them all. SOOOO if I dedicate one just for Etsy then it would seem to make my life a little easier (maybe) or it can make things more difficult, we will just have to see.

But I have more stuff to put up on Eightybeerz but it is hard when you have such a crappy computer. I have Fios but on a 10 year old computer so it works just like dial-up! One day I will afford a laptop! I pay all this money for a computer that I rarely ever use. I think I would be able to put more stuff up on Etsy if I have a faster functioning computer! Oh well, I will just have to deal with it and hopefully I will make enough to at least put a nice down payment on one!

Being Broke Sucks!

Being broke really sucks and I am sure you all agree with me. It's like I can never catch up. I got my tax check and I paid off some bills and then I attempted to save but it seems like i keep having to dip into the piggy bank every so often. So much so that now there is nothing but change in that account. It's hard being a grown-up! My job is pushing for people to voluntarily retire or leave with s measly severance package but I am not taking it, I am in high hopes that I will not be one of those who get laid off in the end. As you guys are well aware of, I am the sole provider in my family and even if I don't get much , I am the one who gets the benefits. I can't afford to lose my job. If it were just me, I would suck it up and go work elsewhere but since there are babies involved I am forced to do what needs to be done.

Next fall/winter I should at least have finished my master's degree and at least I can apply for better jobs but who knows in this day in age?? It seems like every time I turn around more jobs are lost and more pay is cut and so on and so on. Do I really have a chance at a new job? Let's just hope I can keep the job I have now but in the meantime I guess looking doesn't hurt...???

OMG How Could I Forget???

I actually got a chance to make some jewelry AND upload them AND list them on Etsy and I never told you guys!! I have been crazy, as you guys are well aware of, but I did it! I also got a chance to upload some of the vintage jewelry on my 80beerz account. Not all of it was listed but a fair amount was. As soon as I put stuff up they were a' sellin'! I am selling it all for a very cheap price. I am not appraising any of it so I am pricing based on my judgement. You may even find a real gem in the bunch!

Hope to see you guys soon!
