WORKING FROM HOME

Authored by Rickey Combs

I visited http://www.directstartv.com/ and upgraded our television package. I decided that it was time because I recently quit my job and have decided to start my own business working from home. I have started a business where I make custom dresses for women. I have been sewing for years and recently learned about ETSY.COM and crafter’s website. I have been able to reach a pretty big audience and even have repeat customers. I post vintage sewing patterns ( usually cocktail dresses) and people will e-mail me measurements, color, style, etc. So, spending most of my time in front of a sewing machine can make you feel a little isolated. I usually start working early in the morning. I love to drink my coffee, flip on the “Today Show” ( now that I have a good television service), and start my day every morning in front of the television. Drinking coffee, pursuing my hobby, and making money is pure bliss! I just wish that I had thought about this earlier so that I wouldn’t have been working from nine to five for so many years.

Tubesfan, New Video Search Engine

Whenever I want to watch some shows that I missed watching on tv, I just go to youtube and search for that show and voila I am able to see a lot of choices to watch the said show uploaded by different people. I am so glad of this latest technology nowadays wherein we can watch tv video online not only from youtube but from tubesfan too. This is a new video search engine and so if you're searching for your favorite tv video, just click on their link and you can see a lot search results.

I just went to their site and I've seen a video that I like. I am so glad that I can also share the said video on Facebook and on Twitter. I just shared the video in my FB account and I am sure there will be more videos that I will be posting in FB from tubesfan. There's also the lyrics of the video that I just posted from the said website and it's really cool. I am now enjoying to browse the videos that really really interest me like gospel music and Christian songs. It's cool! Try it and you'll like it.

Mashed Potatoes and Chicken Afritada

Mash potatoes and chicken afritada are the foods I often cook for my hubby because they;re easy to prepare and I already know the recipe and ingredients. Though I am not a big fan of mash potatoes, I had to cook it because that's hubby's staple food. Mine is rice of course. Hubby used to tell me that I can't survive without rice but I proved him wrong many times especially when I went on a diet and I didn't eat rice for almost a month. All I eat were most beans, veggies, fish, lean meat and fruits. I did lose a lot of weight.

Now I am back to eating rice again and of course I eat mash potatoes and chicken whenever I am in the mood to cook it. Click here for the recipe.
