Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 9 Dec 15

I went and checked out Sweeba. It's NOTHING like the B site or MyLot. It's quite lame. It's trying to be the next Instagram or something. I don't think it's going to take off. Maybe if it's an app to that's workable from the...

We did manage to drag the decorations out of storage a couple of weeks ago. We were already there, dropping some stuff of to make room for my mother in law. She was going to stay in my office over Thanksgiving weekend, so I had to...

Planner/Journal Combo

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 4 Dec 15

I may have finally found the answer to my planner dilemma. Here is the dilemma: I buy planners that are pretty that I think I will use. I use them for a few days, then stop using them for whatever reason or no reason at all....

Why a Nail Tech Should NOT Mess With Me

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 29 Oct 15

OK, so one thing most people notice about me is that I'm "positive, bubbly, upbeat, confident..." I make people feel at ease, in general. HOWEVER, I am not one to be messed around with. Case in point: The nail salon I went to...

Nice Cuppa Tea

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 29 Oct 15

Well, myLot pals...my week of training is almost up. I really thought I would be on here more in the evenings, but I really haven't had much energy left over at the end of the day. I've done a teeny tiny bit of crafting, but...

Finally Settled In!

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 26 Oct 15

Well, folks, here I am! Day 1 of training ran a little bit over time today. Then there was traffic getting to the hotel. The front desk gave me trouble checking in with the Mister's credit card, so that caused a bit more delay....

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 26 Oct 15

I mentioned in a previous post that I have to go to Austin this week for training for my new job. I wasn't sure if I would be staying in a hotel down there or not...turns out I am. The upside is, I will have plenty of time for...

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 25 Oct 15

I've been playing around with this making money online thing for a long time now...more of a hobby than an actual way of life for me. I tend to come and go. BUT, I have been around long enough to know what DOES NOT WORK! -...

Who among us hasn't entertained the idea once or twice in our life? Thankfully, something stops most of us from making that very final decision. However, some people, for reasons those of left behind cannot understand, go forward...

Visitor at My Own Church!

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 25 Oct 15

Since I've finally realized my life long dream of being a full time hair stylist, that has come at a cost...of working most Sundays. That means I haven't been to church in a very long time. This weekend, I am between salons, so I...

Possible Test Case

Sara Writes @SimplySara (148) • Temple, Texas 24 Oct 15

I'm going to be out of town next week for training for a new job. It's possible they'll put me up in a hotel. On the other hand, I might have to commute back and forth each day, which means I'll lose an extra 10 hours next week....
