Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Two of the persons seeking an exploratory committee for presidential election. Both are democrats, both minorities which have never been president before. Why don't we have Condolezza Rice run, we could take down two birds with one stone and she would be a Republican. No-one forming exploritory committees to be my president, and with stores setting out roses and candy and stuffed animals galore for impending Valentine's Day my worst fears are confirmed. I will probably be single for the holiday. What does my budget say about this...all my valentines will be home-made.
What we do have is more bills. Just recently, I received a notice from Central Texas Medical Center saying I owe them 411.29$. This is a new one to me. The letter could be from when I lost it in San Marcos, or when I lost it here, in Arlington. Either way, I'm losing it...money, that is.
I also invested in a pair of black pants for Chunky's costing 14.00$ and pitched in 1$ for the Heart Association of America. I'm a softie, I know. Then there was that purchase of 13.00$; buying a white fluffy yarn, some serious brown thick-ply yarn and two rolls of light grey soft acrylic, which I've already started into a purse. So that's 28$ I'm out. But seriously, I've been dying to knitt something ever since I ran out of enough yarn to really follow a pattern.
Monday changes all this. With starting work, I'll have plenty not only to keep me occupied, but something with which to make money, not just spend it.
What of those articles I wrote? My fears as a beginning writer may be confirmed. Am I not as good a writer as I thought I was? They haven't written me back, and like a child who almost drowns when they try to swim the first time, I've been a little pool-shy lately. Well, time waits for no man and debts call and mock me sitting there in a manila folder on my desk. Perhaps I shall go and dip my toes in again, tomorrow.

Another 400$, it's as if when you start progressing you are hit with more debt.
Hopefully the editor will still buy your articles, the standard of writing on this blog is excellent. When is the magazine published?
The articles are SEO articles, Search Engine Optimization Articles, that means they are mostly for buyers that have a website they want visited. They haven't written me back yet, but there's a lot of turnover on www.getafreelancer.com.
And thanks for the compliment!
