Idea for a Family Event [ October 10th, 2010 ] Posted in » Uncategorized

As my sisters and I enter the next phase of life, I think I have found an adventure for us to try.  Or maybe I will do it with my grandsons!

ZIPLINES on Big Bear!

I know my husband would have trouble getting to the starting point with his balance problems from meningitis, but I think I would try it!

Attitude Adjustment: How a Little Bit Changes a Lot

A little bit of money can change a lot.A little bit of money can change a lot.

Rising costs and shrinking salaries can cause fear in anyone.the possibility of not being able to pay your bills that do not only financially, but emotionally as well. However, an attitude adjustment can help you become more at ease with your financial situation. As long as you still have your job and it pays your bills well enough to get by all that is needed to truly prosper as an attitude adjustment.

Many people live paycheck to paycheck. While this keeps them afloat it does not let them get anywhere. Not having some money in a savings account for a rainy day is scary. Instead of living with the fear, or having increasing debt pile upon you as you use credit cards for day-to-day expenses, adopt the attitude that little bit can change a lot.

More people are looking for part-time jobs, second jobs to augment their income to deal with rising costs and debt. Lots of times the take-home pay from these part-time jobs is negligible. It also can affect family relationships and your health.

How can a little bit change a lot?

I am completely self-employed and work from home. I’m a great advocate of making money on the Internet.While there are many scams and ways to waste your money, there are also many ways to make a little extra everyday. People with full-time jobs probably would not like a second full-time job on the Internet, or the type of small online business that will use several hours a day to run. There are ways to make very small amounts of money on a regular basis. For some ideas go to Get Paid Lots.

Five dollars extra each day may not seem like a life-changing amount. It is only 435 extra each week or $1825 in the year. Can that amount of money change your life?

Attitude adjustment that has to be made is,”Yes it can!’

$35 in a week and pay for your Internet, your telephone bill over the course of a month, or add to your savings. Paying an extra $140 a month on a credit card bill can reduce the total amount of payment and the time it takes to pay your car off.

There’s a saying: if you pinch your pennies, the dollars will look after themselves. A little bit can change a lot. All it takes is an attitude adjustment.

EASY FRIED RICE

This is another “basic” recipe that is adaptable depending on what you have.  If you don’t have onion soup mix, use 1/2 to 1 tsp ground black or white pepper, 1/2 to 1 tsp salt, 1 TB dried onion.   You can also use chopped hard boiled eggs or leave the eggs out all together.  We serve this with a big salad as a meal on it’s own, or we use it with grilled meats as a side dish.

1/4 cup olive oil
4 cups cooked rice
2 cloves  garlic, finely minced
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup water
1  Tbsp soy sauce
1 cup frozen peas, partially thawed (or 1 1/2 cup mixed vegetables)
2 eggs, slightly beaten  and scrambled in pan

In skillet, heat oil over med high heat and warm  rice. Stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic. Stir in soup mix  blended with water and soy sauce. Cook 1 minute. Stir in peas. Cook 2  minutes. Stir in cooked eggs.
