I was pregnant and then had a newborn and we just didn't get out often. I am looking forward to going back and really getting to know the area. It was a regret of mine when we moved that we lived in this new region of the country and never really took advantage of it. Who knew we'd be headed back less than a year later and have a second chance?Mandi Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641577291206420549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-17510072354469899372013-06-07T14:41:29.891-04:002013-06-07T14:41:29.891-04:00Congratulations!

I did filing and made copies for the professors, but one of my biggest tasks was word processing (!) and making powerpoints, etc. for them because they were computer illiterate. Crazy, huh?

Wow, I'm so happy for you guys, I know it can be really demoralizing to job search, especially after working so hard for his degree.<br /><br />I'm earning a little cash on the side doing paper editing and helping people make powerpoint presentations. I had no idea anyone would pay someone to make powerpoints, but they do. It's nice that you can do the sponsored posts, and I like that you tie them into real life.

Much of our stuff is still in boxed from our last move, but I'm going to have to go through it all and open boxes/repack because we're only bringing essentials right now and leaving the rest in my parents' basement.

If you don't want to write about something - no problem, just don't take the lead/offer. If you do, it's a little extra money! If you do sign up, would you mind using my referral link? http://izea.in/r1HYL Thanks! Oh, and if you don't get offers right away, don't worry, it seems like they come in spurts - I might not get one for a few months then get several all within one week or two! you can't necessarily count on it for "regular" income, but it's nice to add a little income when you can. I remember what it was like when my husband what in his PhD program! Let me know if you have any more questions about it.Mandi Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641577291206420549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-62388589325663885842013-06-06T10:56:28.698-04:002013-06-06T10:56:28.698-04:00Thank you, Dwija!
