Plan B plus where we want to go

So, its been 4 days since I started the etsy shop and I don't have any sales yet - not even of the least expensive item. Now, I have a lot to do in the shop and I have much more to post but its immediately obvious that while this may ADD to our freedom fund, it is not likely to fill it. I will of course, continue to post items on etsy (there is so much to get rid of after all) but for filling the freedom fund, its on to plan B. This involves actually working more nursing hours. That doesn't seem very pleasant to me, but at least I know where I can pick up some low stress hours and it will only take a couple of shifts a month to get that fund going. Unfortunately, it takes mounds of paperwork to sign up for a nursing agency so I will begin that lengthy process this week. On the up side, once I'm signed up for one, I can pick up work in pretty much any state that I have a license for. I also paid a good chunk on my medium sized credit card this week. That left me broke but feeling very self righteous.

In the meantime, my hair is green.

I am serious.

I've found myself buying fewer things in general this last week. Whenever I'm tempted to pick up this little thing or that little thang, I think "I'm trying to get rid of stuff, not get more" and I put it back. Except for that yard art - somehow that escaped my inner sensibility. Suzy, of course, does not have that shopping habit so this is not a struggle for her. She pretty much just buys popsicles.

One of the first places we want to go is Bisbee, Arizona. For some reason, that has stuck like a burr in our brains and we are determined to check this little town out for a month or two. I'm not sure if its the vintage RV park or the self proclaimed "perfect weather" (or even the artsy vibe) but Bisbee sounds like our kinda place. It apparently grew up around the Copper Queen Mine (we have a copper queen of our own here in Portland - she is called Portlandia) and is in the high desert of SE Arizona. I was googling it to get a picture to put on this post and guess what I found? A Bisbee Bus Blog! See it on our handy blog list on the right... While doing what we do to get to Bisbee, we can get our Bisbee fix at ttp://www.discoverbisbee.com/index.htm .
