My 2013 Online Earnings Total

Well, I have been earning money online since I was in high school and never kept track of it till January 1, 2013. So, I went an entire year and wrote down each of my payments I have earned online from the sites I use to earn on and my total came out to be $579.99.

I also have been keeping track of my boyfriend's online earnings since March 1, 2013 and his total came out to be $18.00. He doesn't use all the sites I do, so that is pretty good, for just a few sites and not doing it everyday.

I am looking forward to keeping track of my earnings again this year and seeing what I end up with at the end of 2014. I am going to aim for $600.00 or more for myself and just see what my boyfriend ends up with.

If you earn online and keep track of it, then feel free to share with me, how much you earned online in 2013, especially if you joined sites that I post about on my blog. I would love to see your earnings and celebrate with you.

Exercise TV / Start walking at home 2 miles with Leslie Sansone

Well, back in high school, I could do her videos for hours on end and exercise on a stationary bike afterwords.

However, since I have had a few health problems since 2010, I have gotten out of shape so much, that I am only able to get to the 1 mile part of this video, before I have to stop :(

But I am going to work myself back up to walking 6 miles again by the end of 2014, so that I know I am back in shape and healthy again, because I don't like being out of shape :( I'm hoping that by working out to this video every day, as much as I can, that I can work myself back into working out and getting back into shape where I was in high school.

I will just say that at the doctors a month ago (November 2013) I was 279 and when I went today for a follow up appointment I was 278, however when I got home and peed I weighed in on my scale at 276.

I am going to work on checking my weight once a week, just to kinda watch it to see kinda where I will be when I go back to the doctor on January 23, 2014, because I am hoping that I can be in the 260's which would surprise him, since I only lost 1 pound in the last month.

If you would like to join me in this adventure, that would be awesome :) We can keep track of our progress here on my blog once a week, to see how we are all doing. :)

Highest weight: 290 (March 1, 2008)
Current weight: 278/276 (December 17, 2013)
Lowest weight: 130 (back in high school so between 1999 and 2003)
Goal wight: 170 to 175 (I want to be at this by the end of 2014)

Hanson's Anthem Tour in Charlotte, NC on November 20, 2013

So, I got to Charlotte, NC around 1:30pm and then got checked into our hotel at 2:00pm, then headed to the venue that was about 12 minutes away at about 2:30pm, tried to get a number, but they had stopped giving them out at #97. I then signed up for the walk and proceeded to talk to a friend I had only been talking to online since I was 14 or 15 and never met before. 

I enjoyed finally getting to meet my friend and her daughter for the first time ever :) I hope to meet them again at another Hanson concert or just to meet up for lunch somewhere randomly :) 

During the walk, I got a chance to talk to Taylor at one point, which was nice :)

One day I will get to have pictures with them and their autographs, but for now just talking to them on the walks before the shows is icing on the cake for me :) 

I was going to meet them at the bus after the show, but my feet and knees were killing me and my boyfriend was bored, so I headed back to the hotel instead. 

I know that my photos aren't the best, but I enjoy them and that is all that counts right???

I did get a few samples of four of the songs they sang and am going to be sharing them on my youtube account if you would like to check them out, please do, but be warned they aren't the best ever :/

I gotta say that I loved the prank that Hanson did on David Ryan Harris even though I didn't get it on video or in pictures :( It was very enjoyable :) I also want to add that I think Taylor Hanson has a foot fetish or knows someone who does *giggles*

Also, want to say on a more serious note, that the venue disrespected Hanson when two of the people that work there for security yelled out stuff a couple of times, when Hanson was getting every to quite down for their a Capella song.

 Tay and Ike after coming out of the venue before the walk :) 

 My favorite picture of Zac that I took before the walk :) 

 Before the walk started and Zac joined Ike and Tay at the table where we signed up for the walk :) 

 One of my favorite pictures I got of them before the walk ended :) 

 Just to prove that I took the walk on November 20, 2013 barefoot :) 

 When I arrived before the show at about 6:00pm or 6:30pm, this was my spot in line.

 My view when I got in the venue :) 

 David Ryan Harris performing :) 

 This is Hanson and David Ryan Harris performing the Christmas song "Merry Christmas Baby" :D

 At the very end where everyone comes on stage to say good night and what a great show it was :) 

 Me and David Ryan Harris after the show :) I didn't get his autograph because he didn't have anything to sign with, but I did buy his CD along with a Shout and be free shirt and a pack of key chains, because I collect key chains :) 

 Boyfriends slurpee is on the left and mine is on the right :) I made my boyfriend get one, even though he isn't a fan of them, because I am and I wanted to have more points for my slurpee account online *giggles* 

Tomoorow is Thanksgivukkah or Chanksgiving

Basically whichever way you want to look at it and call it, but since both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah start tomorrow, I thought it would be best to give both recognition on my blog today :)
In a little while I will be doing a post for things on Thanksgiving that you can do at the last minute to make sure you are ready as well as a post for Hanukkah at the last minute to make sure you are ready as well tomorrow.

If you want to read a little bit more about how we came to call tomorrow Thanksgivukkah or Chanksgiving, then head on over to this link and read some interesting facts about how the name came about :)
