Employment Options
As many of you know, I have a journalism background. So lately I've been thinking of a few "work-at-home" type writing options that could put a little spending money in my pocket. Here's what I've come up with so far:
1. Children's book author: I feel like I talk about this all the time. How hard is it to write a children's book though? It would take me about 3 minutes to write about a kitten playing with a ball, or a family of flowers eating dinner together. I'm pretty sure the illustrators of these books are the ones with tough job. Feel free to set me straight if I am wrong on this. If you are unsure about my opinion though, go read Goodnight Moon again.
2. Audio Book Reader: On two recent road trips I checked out some books on CD. The dude reading the book did a great job and had little voices for everyone so that you could tell the characters from one another. Sounds cheesy, but it was quite good. And this got me thinking, I could do that! I bet I could even record the books at home in my pajamas! Anyone have connections?
3. Church Sign Slogan Creator: Ok, so I don't think this is an official title... but you know what I mean. I could go around to different churches and put the little sayings on their signs. Like "When you fall down, the only way to look is UP." (FYI, I didn't make that one up but I can't think of any right this second).
4. Facebook Status Updater: People could pay me to update their Facebook for them. I could post their pictures for them and even message their second cousin for them to wish them a happy birthday. All for a small fee. What a deal! I could also do the same thing with craigslist and EBay... if you had something to sell, I could post it for you and monitor the offers and response. Then, I'll take a cut of the purchase price!
5. Soap Opera Recap Writer: If you go to any soap's website you'll see a daily recap. I could be that person who watches the soap and writes the recap. For example: Reva has Josh's baby and then shoots Josh's brother's wife who is really the half sister of Reva's father.

More Hilton Head Pics
Sorry these are in a random order. I am trying to get them all uploaded and didn't have time to sort through and put them in order.
Hannah gets a ride. Can you tell it was windy?
And another mode of transportation:)
All the grandkids... Hannah (8 months), Claire (2 years), and Lyla (7 weeks)

Hilton Head with the Lyle Fam
Last week Hannah and I took a trip to Hilton Head Island with the Lyle Family. We had a great time and Hannah got to play with her cousins, aunts, uncles and Gigi and Poppy!

Everyone taking an evening stroll on the beach

Testing out the waves... as you can see, I have not been tanning this summer:)

Girls just want to have fun!
God has blessed Todd and I with a baby that is not only healthy, but happy! Here are a few pics of us playing on the floor today. Please note that these pictures were taken post-workout, pre-shower. I don't always look that gross.
Definition of Mad...
Mad: Arriving home from the gym to find that your precious pup has had a work-out of her own in the nursery.... tearing into Hannah's toy basket and plucking out the bear that her great-grandmother made her. To say that I was angry was an understatement and lucky for the dog she hasn't done this before (ok, except for that one time she got into the guest bedroom pillows, see earlier post )
Brave: Staying at the scene of the crime (see below picture). Notice her ears are back though.

The Beach...
I was in Wilmington all week and we decided to take Hannah to see the ocean. She was pretty tired so we didn't stay long but we managed to get a few pictures in before we left for a nap.
