Happy Saturday!
One of my themed weekends is in full force. Last night we carved pumpkins and watched Casper the Friendly Ghost. Today we head out to get Halloween costumes and we’ll possibly even go trick or treating tonight at a campground. I also managed to dig out a few Halloween picture books for us to read. And, we still have Coraline to watch. Now I am pondering what type of spooky food I want to create!
Good Posts From the Week
Andrew recently published Broke? It Might not Be Your Fault. While this post had an interesting infographic, my favorite part was browsing the comments and reading everyone’s different viewpoints.

Freelance Work
I have a ton of work I need to get done by Tuesday. I mean a whole lot of it. While this is obviously great news, it also means I am going to have some late nights this weekend. I am still at the day job and it still looks like there hasn’t been much search for my replacement. I am trying to stick to my guns that Nov. 1 will be the longest I am willing to work.
The positive side is that since I am still working the day job I can save all my freelance money. I should be able to finish the E fund by the end of the month!! WhooHoo!
I am fully booked for the next few days but then the work drops off. While I am on track to meet my income goal I want to do better. I have quite a few slots to fill in the next weeks. So, I am keeping my eye out for lucrative writing jobs.
Here are the freelance jobs I was able to come up with this week:

This weekend since is me and the children and depending on the weather we will be decorating the house for Halloween. Hope you ladies have fun this weekend!
Sounds like you’re rocking it. Stick firm to your deadline, you have to do what is right for you not what is right for your company. They’d do the same if they had to lay off an employee.
My wife can’t wait to get a costume for our 3 month old. She’s probably more excited about Halloween than he is. Thanks for the mention. The comments were very interesting and brought up things I hadn’t thought of. I’m hoping to post something in the future about a similar topic and share some of my personal experience. Hopefully I’ll hear more about other blogger’s experiences as well.
Thank you so much for the mention. Have a great weekend!
Wow, sounds like you’re staying busy! I’m amazed that you have so much time to write for other blogs too, awesome! Have a gret weekend.
Even with the iPhone and Android devices I’m not seneig mobile ads on the mobile version of Blogger Buster or on a test site I created. Either the mobile AdSense feature is broken at the moment or else Google doesn’t have any ads available for your demographic. Insufficient mobile ad inventory is a big problem with all the mobile ad networks including Google. On my own sites I try to get an ad from three different networks and even then many pages go ad-less
Very true! Makes a change to see someone spell it out like that. 🙂
Is that really all there is to it because that’d be flabbergasting.
It’s spooky how clever some ppl are. Thanks!
Superb information here, ol’e chap; keep burning the midnight oil.
Thanks for taking the time to post. It’s lifted the level of debate
A few years ago I’d have to pay someone for this information.
That’s awesome you are booked so solid! My freelance work has been painfully slow. 🙁 I hope it picks up soon!
Sounds like a fun, Halloween filled weekend! I miss dressing up in costumes
I love Coraline… the book is really a good read for your daughters.
Don’t feel pressured into staying at your job. At my last job, my boss was so CRAZY that she actually was super rude to me for leaving and tried claiming that I wasn’t giving a full two-weeks off because I gave my notice the week of New Years. My brother was like, “two weeks is a nicety… there’s no law about it Tara!”. She was a crazy boss so her awful treatment of me in my last week only cemented my desire to leave!
