Days 16-17 (thanks mom!)

My precious mom ... After launching this blog on Wednsday night she e-mailed me with a cash-backed challenge: find, sign and mail two copies of my Working Mother article: one to her and one to my grandpa. Touched by the gesture, I immediately agreed. But, it's always accomplishing the seemingly simplest tasks that prove the most difficult.

Even before my mom requested a copy of the mag, I’d been scouring the area (for going on 11 days now) trying to track down my own copy for my portfolio. It’s like the magazine has vanished into thin air. I. Can’t. Find. It. Anywhere. Grr.

Thankfully the editors are now sending me a few copies (yay!) … so Mom, get that check ready, lol!


Current Cash Stats:

the wife: $185
the hubs: I guesstimate $450 (he's refusing to divulge until the competition ends on November 28)
