Squidoo Payday was Today

If you still don't know Squidoo pays the people who use it every month. The pay is based on how well your lens did during the month (there is a two month lag, I was paid today for June). So what was the total?
$170.04

That's not a bad total I think for doing something I enjoy.

My First Associated Content Article

I just started writing articles for Associated Content. I always need a little extra cash and writing is something I need practice with so getting paid for it is good incentive to improve. Here's a sampling of my first article, just click the title to view the whole thing.
