Can you believe that we are nearing the end of March already? I sure can’t! March has been pretty decent to me.
Online Income
I still haven’t hit my $300 mark, but I have turned down quite a few opportunities to make money online. I don’t want to start out by accepting less than I feel that I or this blog is worth. I will stick to my guns and gut feelings!
However, I do have a few good opportunities in the works, now I am just waiting to see how those pan out. Also, you can now find me contributing to Fat Wallet. My first post – Ten Ideas for a Fabulously Frugal Easter – Check it Out 😉
Divorce Drama Update
The ex’s new girlfriend just got kicked out of rehab for failing a drug test. He seemed very upset about it and claims that he is done with her. I believe that he will stop seeing her just for the fact that he didn’t try to hide her getting kicked out of rehab from me. Apparently he has moved on quick, he already has girl number 2 lined up.
I am just thankful he is done with girl number 1. I could hardly stand the fact that my kids might have ended up being exposed to a heroin addict.
Other than that we have been very civil, actually pretty friendly.
Starting a Blog
In a few short months this blog has given me light to new opportunities and a platform to share my feelings and thoughts and connect with like-minded people. It has been great. If you ever need any help getting a blog set up or just don’t know where to start I recommend reading Jeremy’s Guide to Starting a Blog.
He has been one of the most helpful bloggers to me. Not just with this blog but also with my first. He has walked me through several technicalities I have experienced. He definitely knows what he is doing!
Great Posts from the Past Week
Who is the Best IRA Provider When You Don’t Have Much Money to Open an Account? @ My Money Design. This post actually stemmed from a comment I had left last week. So, if you are like me and itching to open a retirement account but don’t have much money then bookmark this post. I would consider MMD an expert in the IRA field and I definitely trust his advice.

Wow that is crazy that he is already on #2! At least #1 is gone.
Yes, I am extremely thankful girl number one is gone!
Thanks for linking to my site! I’m planning on starting a link list and I will return the favor! 🙂
No problem, it was a good post! 😉
Love your frugal Easter post 🙂 m.
Thanks Mary!
My ex did the same thing but married 2 of them before actually getting to know them.
I thank God mine didn’t get too serious with the first girl.
I enjoy your updates and wonder if I’d be able to keep it together if I had an ex dating a heroin addict! Good luck with everything.
Thanks Kim!
Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation;
we have developed some nice methods and we are looking
to trade solutions with other folks, please shoot me an
e-mail if interested.
I think this is one of the most vital information for me.
And i am glad reading your article. But should remark on some general things, The site style is
perfect, the articles is really excellent : D. Good job, cheers
I have been browsing on-line more than 3 hours today, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It is beautiful price enough for me. In my view, if all
webmasters and bloggers made just right content as
you probably did, the net will be much more helpful than ever before.
Asking questions are truly fastidious thing if you are not
understanding anything totally, however this post offers pleasant understanding even.
