fiverr, journals, and school

Wow, another fiverr job and another journal job!!!

(And, side note, I think school wants to eat me. At least it's giving it a go.)

The fiverr job was a really short job, and I finished it over the weekend. Funny thing about it - I mentioned it up on my Twitter, and then shortly after that I get a follower. In general, followers make my happy (hint, hint), but this one was connected to (what's the right word, with this stuff? I'm still new, in some ways, with this whole 'social networking' stuff) a freelancing website. 7freelance.com. Works a lot like fiverr, except the price is at $7 for a job.

So I've put up a couple of jobs, and when life is less crazy I'll put more up. (So, sometime around Christmas :| )

Quickie

So just a quick one, cause it's too early to say much -

I finally got an order off of Fiverr! Funny, I put up a widget on this site about it, and next thing I know, I got a hit. Probably doesn't have anything to do with it, but I think it'd be amusing if it did.

It was a transcription job, and the person was really nice, and easy to work with, and - what I'm assuming was - the Aussie accent was cool to listen too. It's been awhile since I've heard an accent besides my own.

Plus I got another journal order :D!

New topic: the other day, I made crescent rolls, some with chocolate inside em, off a copycat recipe of the Pillsbury ones. I've made them before, but this time I used xylitol sugar and maltitol-sweetened chocolate chips. They came out awesome (so, just the same as using regular sugar). Although with these, I didn't place the sugar into the hot/warm water-yeast mix. Something I need to find out is, whether xylitol sugar is eaten by yeast.

(Yeast is weird stuff)
