...so, yesterday I did a focus group on Make-up...it paid $150.00 cash for 2 hours of my time...we sat around and discussed whether said make-up company (not MAC) should change their packaging...Focus Groups are a great way to make extra cash...even Mini has participated...during the summer she did a group on Pastry sneakers...she loved that...now every time she goes into a sneaker store she looks to see if they took her advice...
Well, if your interested here are some sites to get you started...Craig's list is a good resource also...do a search under "focus groups" in your city...If the sites don't have an online application for participants just call them up and ask them to mail you one...You can also call and ask if they have groups in your city or country...focus groups take place in every city....Good Luck.

...I'm heading out to meet with lawyers, again...then attending a focus group on make-up (more on that later)...hope to squeeze in a stop by Anthropologie for a little bedroom inspiration before heading home...
GRILLED CHOCOLATE SANDWICH
...this is mini and my favorite snack...she usually makes it for us while watching Survivor...our favorite reality show...
What ya need...
2 slices whole wheat bread
cream cheese
chocolate chips
butter
cinnamon
sugar
Spread desired amount of cream cheese on both pieces of bread...add chocolate chips...put sandwich together...spread a little butter on the outside of both pieces of bread...place sandwich in a very hot pan, turn when brown....about 2 min on each side...remove from pan...sprinkle sugar and cinammon all over sandwich...and enjoy.
... a while back, I posted about a dresser I picked-up at a flea market for Mini's room...it needs to be funked-up and I luv this idea...not sure if Mini will like it...We'll see what she thinks when she gets home...
update: Mini did not like the dresser idea...she wants me to keep it simple, paint it one color and just change the knobs...she said I always do too much...lol
but, today I'm making a rug for my bedroom floor...pics later...and I have to get to Staples and make copies for Mini's Jr. High applications...and do laundry...UGH! Toodles.
...this post is hard to read...but, these are some of the items I picked up this weekend during Target's Home sale, which luckily for me coincides with my b-day each year...
Wallpaper - $7.98 a roll...Mini and I put it up in the hall outside my bedroom...LUV!
Shiney, Black, Leggings - $3.24...I blogged about wanting a pair but never expected to see them at Target and at this price...Happy Birthday to me...
Garden Stool - $19.99...I've been eyeing them at Home Goods for $39.99...I heart Target...you never know what to expect...
Round Woven Basket -$9.98...I didn't get the decorative bust that I wanted, but this is just as good...heart!, and the decorative circles, just $3.98 each...gotta luv it...
