Another (Longshot) Lead on a Freelance Gig

Yesterday, I came across another online work-from-home opportunity that I thought was a possibility. It doesn't pay great, but my thinking was that it would be good for extra income to help me pay down my debt. The site is Scribie, and it does transcription work.

For each 6 minutes of audiotape, it pays $1. The quicker I'd be able to work, the more I'd be able to make, but at that rate, the most I could make is $10 an hour. Knowing myself and my tendency to double-check myself a billion times, I'd probably do well to make $5 an hour. But, like I said, I was interested in it as side income, not as a full-time job, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

So, today I went to check it out. According to the website, Scribie currently has more than 2,000 applicants still waiting to hear word on whether they've been approved for the site. In just 390 days, the site says, I should get word back on whether I've been approved.

Believe it or not, I'm still considering it. If something better comes along between now and then, I can always say, "Thanks, but no thanks," if Scribie ever approves me. Otherwise, I'll still have my name on the list.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
