If you're still Googling, you're nuts! You need to be a SwagSurfin!This is a copy and paste of a great deal!

Summer of Swag!

Here are the two BIG things going on this coming week.

1. Monday we'll be having a Swag Code Extravaganza - we'll be releasing at least 5 Swag Codes throughout the day - this would be a great way for any newcomers you refer to start out with a bang!

2. Each day next week we'll be highlighting a different high value Swag Buck bill, starting on Monday with the 25. Every 7th searching win on Swagbucks will be awarded that big bill, meaning that more people will have big wins next week!

Well, Looks Like I'm Getting a CPAP

I've known for years that sleep apnea goes along with fibromyalgia for most people. I finally broke down and got the study and was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. So now I get a CPAP. I was waking up, on average, 12 times per hour at night! Can you believe that?! After all the insurance wrangling and ordering is done, I hope to start feeling the effects within a month or so!

I need to discover what's eating my greens in my garden before me!

Also have some exciting SwagBuck new to share...

New Directions for me.

I'm going to gear my blog more towards homemaking and my adventures in juggling family, life, church, and frugality (of course) with fibromyalgia. I am in a current flare up due to a car accident. I'd like to focus on the daily struggles with this disease and my faith in the Lord to help me overcome it and still be the home maker I want to be. That I was created to be. I worked through a lot of pain and did a bit of cleaning and got dinner ready.

Chiropractic and Myopathic appts will be taking up much of time as I try to heal from my injuries. I was blessed in finding two people that know about FM.

I'll still espouse the virtues of Swag bucks and they have some great promotions starting next week. But you'll have to come back to check those out.

I hope to get some pics of my square foot garden up. My potatoes are growing like crazy and my radishes are done and oh so spicy! I have a second bed ready to sew more seeds into and I need to devise a slug deterrent. I think I'll start out with cheap beer and maybe copper wire. Any ideas are great! Thanks!

Check Out the Daily Polls on SB

"Swagbucks has just introduced a new daily poll feature that will allow you and your friends to earn Swag Bucks every day simply by voting! It's a great way to share your opinions with the community and be rewarded for doing it. All the polls are Swaggernaut submitted and those Swaggernauts whose polls are featured on the site earn themselves 100 SB (those can be submitted to: pollideas@swagbucks.com). This is a fun, easy way to rack up your free rewards from Swagbucks.com, the number one destination for fun, online polls."

You can answer a different daily and hopefully win some SB's. You can also create your own. I think they're fun and interesting. Seriously, consider it! I know there are questions you'd like to ask! Here's the link to online polls:

Time Flies!

Our square foot gardening is coming along famously. I have such a good hubby for making them for me. The potatoes, carrots, radishes and even the greens are looking good. It's time for me to make the lay out for the second bed.

I'm very sore a) because of a car accident I got into, b) the chiropractor I finally saw yesterday, and c) the myopathic practitioner I saw. The latter is very good and focuses on one body part at a time until he can release the 'lesions'. I call them knots. Things are bound to get a bit worse before I'm feeling better, but that's ok. I'm just afraid my fibromyalgia will flare up!

On better news I've earned over $50 in Gift Cards for Amazon. I even signed up for Amazon prime for free 2 day shipping! All because of my favorite search engine Swag Bucks. Ya'll need to check it out and sign up. I'll give you a link.

Why So Quiet?

Where have I been and why not posting? Mostly because my hand is in a cast. Makes typing more difficult but I hope it will be off in the next few weeks.

I finally got my seeds in the dirt, the right way this time. I made an attempt on Saturday and did it wrong. So, I used the sun yesterday to get the chance to redo. Let me tell you: One handed gardening is tough, even in raised beds!

We're gearing up for Liam's first birthday on Saturday. I still have so much to do. Like plan the menu! At least I have the cake part figured out...

Gardening!

My "Square Foot Gardening" adventure continues! I bought some fingerling potato starts and many seeds including: Blue Lake Bush Beans, Collards, Royal Burgundy Bush beans, Kale, Bibb Lettuce and Thai Basil (for Vietnamese grilled meat salad wraps this summer!), Nantes Carrots, Half Long Carrots, Broccoli, Sugar Baby Watermelon, Cucumber all from Ed Hume Seeds. I also plan on getting pumpkin, salad mix, radishes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and maybe radishes and brussel sprouts which are delicious fresh. I'll keep you posted on our journey to more self-sufficiency through growing our own food. All I need do now is buy a few types of compost and some lath boards to mark of the square feet and I'm on my way! Here's a link from Amazon to the book:
