Good, I’m up a little early to get some things done this AM. We live on a fairly busy street and the freaking police sirens woke me.
- Yesterday, I updated the theme for Down On Our Luck; besides the header, I really like it. The header is not horrible, but it needs something more. I will hopefully have someone working on my headers soon
- Posted another Dog Pic at One Million Pet Pics.

I woke up a little later than usual this morning due to a retirement party that I was at last night. I’m thinking I’ll have a chance to be pretty busy tonight though.
- Of course, I checked my Big Crumbs account.
- I decided to combine the 15th and 16th because yesterday didn’t bring much.
- I found an extremely touching story this morning and had to build a new lens about it. You can check it out at 2 Dogs 2000 Miles. All money from this lens is donated and I posted a comment on their blog seeing if they would like to have the lens transferred to them. It’s just a little way for myself to give back which is part of what Squidoo is all about.

I woke up at a good and healthy time this morning and I’m ready and raring to go.

Finally, a morning where I can get some updating done as well as other things. Let’s see how well I stay on track.
- Built my latest lens, Aaron Rodgers, this morning. I’m sure I’ll think of more to add to this as time goes on.
We had some friends stop over tonight so I didn’t have a chance to get anything else done for the day.

It’s the first Green Bay Packers preseason game of the year. I’ll need to make some time to watch the first quarter of the game when Aaron Rodgers is playing. After that I should be wound up enough to get some serious work done. I woke up late this morning so writing this and checking some stats is about the only thing I’ve done so far. I’m not sure what came over me yesterday, but I got home from work and hit a brick wall. I didn’t even make it to kickoff time before falling asleep. Oh well, I can’t beat myself up for doing what my body tells me; today is another day.

I stayed up pretty late last night talking to my mother about the whole Brett Favre drama and other things. I actually woke up at 2:30AM, but I was able to back to sleep shortly after. I’ll need to make up for the time this evening now that I’m back to a semi-normal sleeping schedule.
- Started my Big Crumbs update for the month at Down On Our Luck.
- That’s about it for this morning. I didn’t get real far into anything. I woke up too late for that.
- I spent some time researching some tools for myself and then the DH and I went for a much needed bike ride.

I’m up a little early this morning, but nothing too bad. My eyes look a little nasty, maybe a case of pink eye so I could be in luck for an extended weekend.
- Played around on Facebook for a little while; feel free to send me a friend request if you’d like.
- Updated my Pink NFL Jerseys lens. Added many eBay store items and checked Amazon for new offerings. Only finished through Carolina Panthers. I guess I’ll be busy tonight, I’m pretty much out of time this morning.
- Applied to some new sports affiliate programs this AM.
That’s about it for the 4th, on to 8/5/08.

I had a difficult time getting back to Squidtop today to publish my post from yesterday so today’s listing might not be that accurate.
- Changed the link to my Pokemon Nintendo DS Skins lens from my Nintendo DS Skins lens to look like it is meant to be part of the table of contents. Had to update the DS Skins again because my original link was wrong. The DS Skins lens hit a milestone for myself yesterday; at some point yesterday I had over 200 visitors within the last 7 days, I have never had that many visitors on any of my lenses.
- Downloaded the new Entrebar from Entrecard. I’m excited to try it out, but I can’t login.
- Spent a little time pricing fiberglass extension ladders. DH bent the one his boss lent him after using it for only a half an hour. I am so upset about this. From what I can find, they cost between $200-$300. I wish he would think sometimes.
- Set up Thunderbird as my new email client; I finally figured out what the heck was wrong with my Yahoo account as well. So far I don’t think Thunderbird drags on my system as much.
- Updated my Antique Singer Sewing Machine lens. Just a little tweaking and tag adding, nothing major.
- Started playing around with new SEO Software: Traffic Travis. Started a lens with a personal review. Checked Squidoo for anything close and things look promising.
We ended up with company after this, so I was pretty much done for the day.

I woke up a little later this morning because I stayed up last night instead of falling asleep on the couch. I have a little time to get some stuff done, but first I must go and refill the coffee.
- Read a great post by Captain Squid about building a Pepperjam lens. If you use Squidoo to make money, I would definitely recommended signing up for his RSS feed.
- I finally logged into the Pepperjam Ad Network for the first time this morning. I really like the layout and everything is so fast. I’ll be back when I’m ready to build some more lenses.
- Finally purchased the 10 minutes trainer like I said I was going to do in Happy Birthday to Me. It took me forever to get to the bank and deposit my Birthday money. Why, don’t ask me.
- Posted Foofur’s story at One Million Pet Pics.
That’s it for the morning, we’ll see if I can be more productive this afternoon.
So much for productivity in the evening, I couldn’t keep my eyes open long enough to finish my blizzard. Oh well, that’s the end of the July. On to August.

I’m up way too early this morning. Couldn’t sleep, thought I’d do something productive as opposed to laying on the couch till I fall asleep in a couple hours. I hope the hubby doesn’t wake up too early and bust me.
- Started the day by checking my Big Crumbs stats. Two referrals today, one direct bringing me to 102. Also went through and read my messages.
- Ended up trying to follow a conversation on Twitter; I should know better, it takes way too long. I did find 5 more people to follow though.
- Completed a survey at e-rewards.com. Took about 10 minutes, made $2.50. This is the first survey site that I’ve joined which doesn’t jerk me around or send me 20 emails a day. I’ve already earned enough for a free 1 yr subscription to Inc magazine.
- Spent way too much time reading about the lensrank fiasco on Sunday that I didn’t even notice. Maybe because I’m here to make money, most of which comes from affiliate commissions.
- Read through JustBon’s Bottom 20 Lens. I think some of these lensmasters would freak if they saw the LR of my bottom lenses. I’m not real passionate about LR.
- Ended up joining a couple of groups at Facebook and logging into Joe Popular for the first time ever. Added a little content and links to my blogs and a couple of lenses. Added a friend at BlogCatalog as well.
- Added a bunch of friends on Digg; checked out what some of them were digging. Found a cool speedreading app.
- Checked stats at Google Analytics.
- Registered with Pepperjam network, waiting on approval.
- Added Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos to my NFL Infant Jerseys. Checked store items for the Packers and Bears on this lens and updated the items along with adding “nofollow” tags to direct links. This is more work than I thought it would be. I have a gut feeling it will pay off in the long run.
- Commented on Josh’s Unconventional Marketing Blog – Blogger Appreciation Week about having something nice said.
- Split my Nintendo DS Skins lens in two, added a Pokemon Nintendo DS Skins lens to my portfolio.
On to a new day; time to hit the publish button.
