Not Possible

It is not possible that I was twenty minutes late to work on the day of my annual evalution. Because I thought it was Wednesday and I don't work Wednesday mornings.

It is also not possible that I tried to unstick my car door that was "frozen" shut for 5 minutes this morning... until I realized that I hadn't unlocked the door.

Nope.

Those kind of things just don't happen to me.

This Probably Speaks For Itself

One of my favorite songs ever. Even before Glee. And this is how I'm feeling right now. And I know that when I feel like this that it's best if I DON'T write it out.

HELP!

Do me a HUGE HUGE HUGE favor?

[Okay, that's a lie. It's not that big.]

Please vote for Riley in the cutest dog contest???

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!


And then please read my REAL post below. Haha.

Pure, Raw Talent

Who knows when or why this got started...but at some point my friend Emily taught us this useful talent. I think she invented it, although I really have adopted it and helped morph it into more of a phenomenon.

[Or so I'd like to think.]

[Actually I don't see my Emily enough to know how applicable it is in her life. =( ]

But friends, I introduce to you....

The Frowning Wink

I'd like to think that it's a craftier way of pouting. It's the sympathy-evoking lip, combined with the seductiveness of the wink. Please tell me- how could you possibly go wrong with that combination?!?!

Seriously. Send one of these to the hot guy across the bar- he won't know what to do with himself. Can we say "eating out of the palm of your hand"?? I thought so.

I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how many conversations I have started with the frowning wink.
[Albeit, potentially intoxicated at times. But ALSO sober too.]

Because this is a pretty technical maneuver I'd rather teach people myself than have amateurs going around handing out this kind of power.

Here are some tips from the pro:

1. Frown first.
2. Wink second.
3. Practice.

Do me a favor?

PLEASE send me YOUR pictures!! Even better if they are in front of a recognizable landmark. I will post them ALL. brandyinboise@gmail.com

If all else fails, it will make somebody laugh. =)

(Yeah I really did go there.)

Ohhh November...

November.

I usually love November. It kicks off the holiday season, which is CLEARLY my favorite. But I'm not doing so hot here on NaBloPoMo....

Who decided NaBloPoMo should be November?!

Obviously not someone living my life. Because this weekend Boise State is playing University of Idaho. And the next weekend I'll be in Portland. And the next weekend is Thanksgiving. And my coworkers are all sick so I'm working about a million extra hours.

Le sigh.

But tomorrow?

Ohhhh, ohh, ohhh tomorrow. =)

I think you, dear reader, might FINALLY be ready for this.

Oops.

Soooo....I didn't actually do a post yesterday. Which means TECHNICALLY I failed NaBloPoMo. But we all know that I'm not one for technicalities!

SO to make up for it, I will post TWICE on one day.

[Heaven help me.]

Anywho, back to making money online. Now, nothing I've come across has made me a significant amount of money. But easy money outweighs that. Another favorite place to earn a few extra bucks is Opinion Outpost!!

Basically you just fill out random surveys about random stuff and then get money for it. I KNOW that it's legit because I have literally gotten and cashed a check from this place. They also have recently given you the option to cash your points in for a virtual Amazon giftcard. STOKED about that.

Some surveys are really long and some are really short. They pay anywhere from $1 to $6-ish (highest I've seen). Do I make tons of money? No. Can I do surveys when I'm bored at the airport or in class and have Twittered, Facebooked, and Blogged myself out? You betcha!

I probably get an average of 3-4 survey opportunities per week. It's definitely pretty high on my "Stuff To Do Online While Extremely Bored" list.

Making Money Through Social Media (And the Internet)

This is a controversial subject. And you're going to find out pretty quickly which side I fall on. I'm all about making money in any way, shape, or form.

[Well...almost.]

Anytime I can make a few extra bucks, I'll do it. ESPECIALLY if it's an EASY few bucks! Right now I'm part of a thing called Sponsored Tweets.

Any hardcore tweeter would immediately say NO WAY JOSE. I kinda get that. I mean, I don't want spam clogging up all my quality tweets either. But let's be honest here, I get SO many tweets in such a sort amount of time that I really don't notice a spammy one in there every now and then.

Here's the jist of Sponsored Tweets:

-Advertisers contact you with an offer for an amount of money for you to post a tweet.

-They tell you what to say- kinda.

-YOU pick which offers to accept!

-Sponsored Tweets tweets the message on your behalf. (And I think it's very respectable that they make you disclose it's an ad on your tweet.)

-You get money put into your account!!!

Easy as pie. And it takes me literally 30 seconds to make a dollar. Yeah, I know it doesn't sound like much but that puts my hourly rate at.....$120 per hour. Pretty sure I could handle that. And guess what? It doesn't matter if anyone clicks the link or not! You STILL get paid.

Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

[And then I love you forever because I get credit too!]



More tomorrow on how ELSE I make money online!

[Dude, I sound like such a cheesy spambot! haha. Sorry!]
