Well, it's been a while since I've posted here. Not a lot new since the last one. More snow, more cold, more winter. I wonder if I've stepped into Narnia without realizing it. Always winter but never Christmas. hmmmmm....... On the plus side, I did see a robin the other day. That should mean something and I did notice that it wasn't pitch black when I drove to AWANA last night. That's positive as well. There is a lot of sickness around here. I have a very nasty cold trying to get hold of me. I don't feel great but not as bad as I could. I am taking the New Silver Solution from Nutronix and that helps a LOT with lessening the severity of the sickness and shortening it's duration. I don't always escape unscathed although sometimes I can.

A couple of weeks ago we were supposed to get lots of snow. They were predicting rain, freezing rain and snow. We got the freezing rain, lots of freezing rain. We started out of the driveway to go feed horses and got as far as the gate. We had to chip away about 1 1/2" of ice to get the gate open to get out of the driveway. We were soaking wet by the time we got to the barn. The barn door was frozen shut so I got the ice scraper out of the car and had Erica down at the bottom chipping away at the ice. The leanto was full of water. There was barely enough room for one horse to stand all the way back by the wall. The building they use outside was dry. We finally got into the barn and there was standing water in the aisle. We swept that out twice but it kept coming back. Everywhere there was water was going to freeze as temperatures dropped. We got everybody fed and while they were eating, Erica and I went out to the pasture and dug a trench to drain off some of the water. That was no easy task as there was water way past the rubber part of our boots and the snow was still a foot deep. Ahhhh, winter in Wisconsin. You gotta love it. :-P

We found out very recently that my husband may not have a job next year. The company is sending some of it's work offshore *sigh* and so he may not have a job. Another incentive to develop a home based business. My main business is still The Berry Tree and Nutronix. I got into them for the business but have found that the products are helping me so much that I couldn't quit if I wanted to. The Cellfood helps my asthma a lot. I am on the strongest and best stuff my Dr. has and was still having trouble breathing. What was I going to do in 10 years? The Cellfood and the 02 Berry Water have helped me breath much better. It doesn't hurt that I can eventually make money just by staying with the company.

Other business ventures are MLP and My Launch Pad In addition to those, there are Velocity Clicks, Raining Bux, Clixsense,Adbux, WordLinx, 2Bux, Bux3, Advercash. Of course, the best money in the PTC programs is with referrals. Most of them have referrals for sale so you can earn $100 or more in each program monthly. They are also a good source of advertising. I am also doing ASD which is an old program that has been revitalized. It is also a good source of advertising.
The days of working all your life at one job and then retiring are gone. Now you have to be ready to move every couple of years and as you get older, nobody wants to hire you. Also, you have to start all over in the payscale every time you get laid off.

Beautiful Day

It was a beautiful day today with a high around 30 and sunny. Erica went out riding on Cass today. Midnight got all upset and whinnied to her and ran around the pasture. Seems he's feeling much better. I think his hip is healed.

The possum is back. We got rid of one and there is another now. It was in Midnight's feed box when we came in the barn this morning.

I signed up for 2 new home businesses to go along with my main program. Virtual Profit Academy and Friend'w Win.

It's hard to believe that Christmas is almost here again already. I love Christmas. A time to celebrate the birth of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It's supposed to be nice all week, in the 30's but, rain Saturday and snow Sunday. We are supposed to go to my sister-in-law's house on Sunday for Christmas. I hope it doesn't snow too much!

Winter Storms

Winter may not officially be here yet, but the winter weather is. It's cold and icy. We got hit with a winter storm on Saturday right during music practice at church. So by the time we were finished the roads were pretty bad. Saturday night was also supposed to be our church Christmas party but we postponed it to Sunday after church. After the snow, which lasted a few hours, we got freezing rain and sleet and after that, we got rain. It was prety nasty out. Once all the precipitation finished, the temperatures started dropping and everything froze up. I can walk on top of the snow it's so hard. Makes for a pretty nasty pasture situation. It's pretty slick out for the horses.

More possums in the barn. My husband shot one last weekend. Was hoping that was it but, afraid more would come and more did. There was one in there yesterday eating from the cat's food tray. Guess my husband will have to go possum hunting again this weekend.

We are supposed to get more snow tomorrow. They are predicting another 2 to 4 inches.

My Berry Tree business is going well and I am making money so I'm excited about that! After all the programs I've tried online that haven't made me any money but cost money, this is exciting.

My website, blogging and Other Stuff

I'm no great writer, as you will quickly see from reading this, but I thought I'd jump on the blogging bandwagon anyway.  I've been looking for a long time for a way to earn some extra money from home to help supplement our income and I've tried many things over the years and wasted a lot of money in the process.

You can actually get paid to blog!  Sounds pretty cool, so I thought I'd give it a try and maybe this can help someone else start making some extra money from home too!  I named my blog Pot Luck because you never know what you'll find here.  While earning
some extra money from home is one of my goals, it's not the only thing in life so you may hear
about my family, or the critters, or our church, or maybe find a recipe here and there.   

I have a website with some of my businesses on it.  I have several businesses and each one makes at least a little money.    My husband and I make horseshoe nail crosses wrapped with colored wire.  
I love to crochet  and have a page for some of the things I've made.  

I am a kitchen consultant for The Pampered Chef and my husband helps me with this business too.  He carries my crate and helps with cleanup while I do the cooking and take the orders.  

LegitOnlineJobs is full of great info for making money from home.   They even have  listings for 
real telecommuting data entry jobs!
