I cashed out for a $15 AGC from Swagbucks a few days ago. Also cashed out Bing points for a free month of Hulu+ (more on that later.) Yesterday I got another book to read and review - should have the $25 for it tomorrow (did reviews tonight.) I sold 3 items on eBay this weekend and 1 today.
*Bing and Swagbucks - UGH! So my plan to have a full month bonus in April is vamooshed. I was all set to have 3 SB codes by the time NE arrived, so all I'd have to do is redeem the codes. Thanks to SBs deciding not to have codes count towards the daily goal, that's not going to happen. So now my plan is to redeem Bing points for Hulu+ once a month, and then for AGCs otherwise. Seriously annoyed, although I do kind of understand SBs reasoning.

I found out about a new jobsite - flexjob . com. You do have to pay to access the site, but if you google for coupon codes you should find one. I found one that made my first month $5. Flexjobs has lots of flexible schedule/telecommute type jobs. I've already applied for one that I could easily do in the evenings even now, and later could do more. There are a bunch more that I'm looking at applying to closer to May.
I also applied at Leapforce at Home. It's essentially surfing the net and evaluating websites.
Neither job will pay much, but it'd be something for sure!

I had an email yesterday about a librarian job in NE. Unfortunately 421 miles from where I want to be. The amazing thing about it was that this particular school district pays an annual bonus of $11k (divided by 12 months.) So ... with a Masters and 11 years experience (in classroom) I'd make around $54k!! It's hard for me to even fathom making that much - the most I've ever made before was around $41k - my last year of teaching.
I didn't apply for it, because it would defeat the whole purpose for me moving. I'd be 600 miles closer, but still too far away to really be in good proximity for NEs and I's relationship to grow. If I could only find something like that within 60 miles of NE!

My final car payment was mailed off today. I know I said I'd pay it in April, but I'd already gotten the paycheck that the money would've come out of anyway. So, I decided, why wait? So, as of March 25, 2014 I am officially debt free once again. I can hardly wait to get my title.

The yearbook was submitted yesterday. Here's hoping that that is the LAST yearbook I ever have the *pleasure* of putting together.
Today I helped out with the annual spelling bee for 4th - 8th grade. A 6th grader won first place, a 4th grader won second place and a fifth grader won third place. It was pretty interesting.
Some snowflakes, possible jobs, Car Loan!

Yes, it's in the western part of the state. I appreciate you putting the word out, even if nothing comes of it.

Thanks Mamasita. I'm not entirely sure I really want to do a school job. If the money was at the $53k level, then I think I could do it for a few more years, but as much as I love most of my kids, there are just some groups that totally frustrate me. If I could find a position with just 4th and under ... that would be ideal. There just aren't many (if any) librarian positions like that that I've found (most are K-8 - I like my 6th graders and most of my 8th graders, most of my 7th grade boys and a few of my 7th grade girls ... 5th graders .. the Wednesday group consists of the kids that I've not enjoyed since they were in 3rd grade, but with age and hormones are only getting worse ...)
