Ideas/Comments needed please!

The 'Omg no more extra cash!' feeling is setting in. Boo. I've decided that I will be getting a PT job for the holiday season, mainly because Barry will be in school. Might as well use my time wisely instead of watching tv all day. I'm waiting till September for several reasons.
1) Any money I earn now would go straight to D*C
2) I'd miss being with my sweetie
3) Couldn't go to the movies with friends because they always go opening (ie Friday/working) night
4) No one would take me right now. I'd be asking for way too much time off. ConCarolinas, trip to NJ to visit family, and Dragoncon. Yeah, they'd hate me. ^_^

At this point it's more wondering where I'd want to work. Money isn't truly a factor, so long as the perks are good. Anything I earn is going into a 20/80 split of fun/savings. Help me decide, won't you?

[Poll #1180224]

I'd love it if I could find an online/at home job. Sadly 90% are fake, and the ones that are 'legit' have a fee to start. I did sign up for a few survey sites, but that would be less than $50 a month and that's if I'm lucky. Feh.

I'm still waffling on if I like igoogle or not. It's cool as the first page I see in the morning, but it gets annoying when I'm opening a new window to go somewhere else.

Barry is going to Anderson, SC on Saturday for a AT-43 demo. I thought about going with him, but decided not to. He'd be there allllll day, and it's a 3+ hour trip. No thanks. I will be packing him a day bag so he'll have food and stuff. Oh! Today is his birthday! I woke up early and made him pancakes. Last night I made him two key lime pies...which I made wrong because I'm stupid. -_-; The recipe calls for egg yolks, and somehow my mind saw egg whites. *sigh* It baked up ok though, it's just fluffy instead of compact. It's healthier at least because it called for 5 egg yolks. That's a LOT of cholesterol, so perhaps it was a good mistake. ^_^

So far Hancock is winning hands down. ^_^

Well, it's a matter of what I have supplies for and what I would need to buy/learn.
I can do embroidery, soap, and hair falls/false dreads, all of which I have supplies for.
I'd like to learn how to use sculpty, making plushies/pillows/cute things, and jewelry making. I have lots of felt, but that's about it.
I know it takes money to make money, but still...

Sculpey is fantastic, one box of it, which is around $10 or so, lasts for freaking ever, and its so easy to work with. (You can buy individual little things of it in various colors for only like a buck or two if you want to get some just to play with.) It's not messy like regular clay, and I guess one downside of it is that it doesn't soften up with water like regular clay does, but that means that it doesn't water down and get all slimey, and it also doesn't dry out while you're working with it. I think the only thing I like working with more is Model Magic, but the problem with that stuff is it dries WAY too quickly and you have to keep your extras air-tight or else its useless...

One thing that might be kind of fun for you might be to pick up some Sculpey, experiment with making molds, and use those to make cute/crazy soaps. Think of the possibilities! XD

I'll have to get some and experiment. I like the mold idea!
