Weekly Wishes 18

Monday, March 17, 2014 | Stamp in My Passport| |

Monday, March 17, 2014

Thank you all so much for your tips on packing and moving. While I'm not quite moved in yet, there are only a few more car loads left. The best thing about not moving too far from home is that I really have a second closet to leave all of my out of season clothes in. And although I will be sleeping on just a mattress and box spring for several weeks, it could be worse. Like sleeping on an air mattress with a slow leak.

And for this week: 
1. Finish my SEO class. One of the things I have fallen in love with about Skillshare is that you can work on the lessons at your own pace and there is no time limit. The downside is I am so excited about classes, complete the first couple sections right away, and then never quite follow through. Hopefully that will change this week and I can move this class and project off my to-do list and start optimizing this site for search engines.

2. Read this month's book club pick, Gone Girl, and Divergent just in time for the premier on Friday. I read Gone Girl a couple of years ago on the drive from Searcy to Chicago and couldn't put the book down, so I'd imagine that it would be a page turner the second time as well.

P.S. all ad spots are 25% off this week with code TWENTYFIVE!

A book club is a great idea. I find myself more motivated to read when others around me are reading the same book. Then we can have discussions and share theories.


And moving out stinks but moving in is great. Hope you have a fun time decorating!

I have heart of gone girl but haven't had a chance to pick it up. Glad to know it's a good read. Good luck with your wishes for the week! And I hope the rest of your move goes well!

Haha. I love that you're so excited about your class. It's such a great thing to know too. I should probably take one since I'm a nerd in that way too. How's the book going? I need more book recs. Hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

I need to take a class on SEO! I feel like I plug in keywords but some hook on and some don't...

A book club is a great idea. Anyway, good luck on your goals!

I am dying to use skillshare but they won't accept my German card for the membership. I must solve this somehow!
You are right, an air mattress with a leak is way worse than a mattress and box spring, spoken from someone with experience in this too.

Jess said...

hmm...have you tried using paypal? that's what i use to pay for my classes and might be a way for you to use your german card.

Jess said...

thank you so much! i love any excuse to talk about what i'm reading.

Jess said...

picking keywords is really the hardest part. if you can get that right, then plugging it in is a breeze. i wish i would just bite the bullet and move to wordpress because of the SEO plug-ins.

Jess said...

i'm such a fan. if only i had the time/specific skill to offer and teach a class.

Jess said...

gone girl is a must read and a page turner from the very beginning...you won't want to put it down!

Jess said...

thanks! settling in is taking a little longer than i thought, but it's nice knowing that i'm going to be staying somewhere longer than a school year.

i love any excuse to talk about what i'm reading, especially with others who are reading the same thing.
