Work Thoughts

I've been doing some more thinking about transcribing from home. It turns out, Scribie isn't the only site available, so the potential to earn more is there. I just need to decide whether I want to invest in the equipment (a foot pedal to start and stop audio) to practice getting faster to increase my per-hour earning potential.

I feel a little stressed in trying to decide whether to pursue it. While I do have an interest in transcription, I'd also like to eventually open my own craft shop, first as a part-time gig, then eventually -- and hopefully -- to replace my full-time income. The snag is that every minute I spent practicing transcribing (and eventually working as a transcriber) could be time spent working on crafts.

However, if I try transcription, find some success at it, it could replace the other major freelance site I use that has dried up as a resource for me. I could create some "pay-it-down" money for me right now, as opposed to maybe one day in the future through making crafts.

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.
