Last week I responded to an ad on Craigslist for a Market Research study. They called me on Friday, but needed me to come in on Monday morning. I couldn't do that because I was at the gym then.
So today I was just finishing my second children's book post when I got a call asking if I could come in today at 2pm. I of course said yes!
It was a very different study, using electrode nodes attached to your head and a video they measured your responses to. But, it made me a cool $75 for less than an hour of my time. 
If I could only do a couple of these a month ...

Today my Single Frugal and Loving Life blog (yes, I changed the title - better words for search engines) continues my series on living within your means by exploring
On Storytime For Children I added two new books:
Listen to the Rain by Bill Martin Jr. and The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry.

I think I mentioned before that my desktop computer was giving me some trouble. Well, it is working fine again now - not sure exactly what happened.
But now my wireless keyboard is giving me fits and caboodles -just stops communicating, then will start up again. That makes it very difficult to write anything.
So, again, I am very thankful for my little netbook. However, I am going to need to figure out how to get my keyboard working right, because for my blogs I have to do a lot of pictures, and this little baby can't handle too much pictures saved on the disk without majorly compromising performance.

I did not spend any money today - even though my market research place was very near a dairy queen. Speaking of dairy queen, if you go to their website and join their 'team" you get a coupon for a buy one blizzard get one free.
Just saying.

Would you believe my dinosaur desktop (still running windows 2000) will not recognize a regular ps2 keyboard? I actually had to get a wireless setup just so I could use a keyboard!! It would work with the ps2 keyboard only when I booted it up, hit the reset button, and let scan disk run. Computers are strange!!

Yes, I agree, computers are strange.

My English Castle - Yes, I did feel a bit like Frankenstein.
Boo - Thanks! I'll do my best not to spend it all in one place - though it probably will be going towards Cobra.
Baselle - Thanks! It is sweet.
