I’ve been so busy working on some things behind the scenes that I can’t believe its Tuesday already. I really need a 35 hour day and a 8 day week. Seriously.
A few websites I used to write for are closing and/or merging with other sites. So, I have been working on deleting that material and moving it to either my own websites or the last of the websites I plan on keeping around. So, just trying to wrap that up. I also have some fiction I have been working on here and there. I have a series under my pen name that is was left after book 3 and it’s sort of hanging there. In limbo. Everyday Living with Chrys has been a slow process, too. Some of the material I am moving off these revenue sharing sites will fit there. They just need updated and cleaned up a bit. I think, for the most part, I am over revenue sharing websites. I am just going to keep on trucking with building my own websites and stick to the few that make me money. I need to take a step back. I have too many fires burning and it’s all been emotionally draining.
What can I say, I am a writing fool. Even though a lot of that material has nothing to do with food (ok, none of it) I have been pouring through cookbooks with the hopes of getting some new inspiration for this fall. I have a few tricks up my sleeve. 😉
What have you guys been up to this week?
In case you missed it last week, a really good friend of mine is a Paparazzi rep. They sell accessories and jewelry for $5. I’m hosting a party for her. All profits are going towards her wedding. She was in a terrible marriage for a long time and moved away. This person went years without child support and would not grant the divorce. It was as long legal battle and I am so proud of what she was able to accomplish as a single mom despite this bringing her down. Now that she has found love again…well…we all know how special we want our wedding day to be, right?? So, if you have some time I would love for you to stop by the online party and see if there is anything that strikes your fancy!
I’m also doing a marathon. Yes, me. A marathon.
I wrote a post about it on Everyday Living with Chrys. I am walking for the Children’s Miracle Network and Beaumont Hospital in Detroit. We walk 1 mile a day. I could really use some sponsors. So, if each of you sponsored me for just $1 I would more than reach my goal!
This week’s Features:
This week’s Most Clicked was:
Peanut Butter Cookies from Poems and Quotes Finder
This was a winner by a LONG SHOT! If you have never checked out this blog, you MUST do so! It is hilarious AND you’ll find a great recipe!
The MOST CLICKED is always my featured picture which runs on my home page!
YUMS PERSONAL FAVORITE:
Scent of Oranges is a wonderful blog. She makes some of the most interesting flavor combinations with fresh ingredients. I love Mexican food. I would eat it more often if Michigan Mexican food was closer to the style of the South like I am used to. But then again, I am sure I don’t need it. Most of it, as we know, isn’t super healthy. But, this recipe gives all the flavors without the guilt. Not to mention, maybe I can finally use that bag quinoa I purchased ages ago. I am dying to try this ENCHILADA QUINOA SALAD.
CONGRATULATIONS to you ALL!

Man, now I am craving some pb cookies! I haven’t had any in years lol. Good luck on your marathon!

I have never been fond of quinoa but your ENCHILADA QUINOA SALAD looks so good that I might have to give quinoa another try. You never know… maybe I wasn’t cooking it right.
I didn’t like quinoa until I found some really good recipes for it, like this one! Now I love it.

You are one busy person. I also feel like I need more hours and days in the week to get all my projects done.
So happy for your friend finding love again.
I go through these periods where I scale back on projects and then I just take on more. It’s a ridiculous cycle.
I see some great recipes there, must check them out.

Blessings,
Shari

I’m running to the kitchen to make peanut butter cookies. Just seeing that photo made me crave them!
I’m jumping on the peanut butter cookie bandwagon. Can’t wait to try these!
I love the recipes in the link up – there are so many I can see me clicking over to try this week! Each Friday I get online and seek out recipes for the upcoming week so I can plan out dinners, school lunches and snacks. Thanks for the link up!
You are welcome. I hope you find something yummy.

I love peanut butter so those cookies caught my eye right away! Yum!
Yum! Those peanut butter cookies look amazing. I’m so sad I was recently told I’m allergic 🙁
Hooray for awesome recipes! I think I see a buffalo wing pizza?! What! I need to investigate! ;D
What a great link-up party! The peanut butter cookies from last week look awesome!
Peanut Butter Cookies are the best! I loved when mom let me make the fork marks when I was younger. 🙂

Wow, that enchilada quinoa salad does look amazing! I love that stuff!
Wow, sounds like you are busy! I would love some of those peanut butter cookies right now!
Looks like you have been busy! An authentic blog is one that also involves stories outside of your niche. It is great to get to know the people behind blogs. Much more engaging
I share your story of having a site shut down. After carefully downloading each thing I wanted to save, my desktop crashed. Laptops and other family members’ desktops are not as speedy as mine, so I’m behind till my computer is fixed. I pray some of my stuff gets recovered. It’s the challenges that make us tougher.
You had me at 35 hour days & 8 day weeks! If only, right? And then I saw the Coffee Ice Cream. Heaven is calling me! LOL
Great collection of yummy recipes! Can’t wait to check them out!
A lot of awesome looking recipes here. Thanks for the links!
Wow, there’s so much great stuff to look at. Thanks for sharing!
Those peanut butter cookies look really good. Reminds me of some my husband makes around the holidays. So good!
You do have a lot of work going on. Good luck with all of the moving of websites. And the peanut btter cookies look delicious!!
I love Peanut butter cookies! I have never had a Paparazzi party before. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun!
I love Peanut butter cookies. I have not made them in a while, might have to do that this weekend.
The Enchilada Quinoa Salad looks tempting. Compared to you I have not been doing much. Still getting used to the back-to-school stuff.
