I may have a new distance tutoring student. we've exchanged a few emails and it looks I can help, so now I'm waiting for payment. I suggested 30 minutes to start, just to make sure it would work out for both of us. Hopefully the PayPal payment will come through today. Any online tutoring I do gets added to my challenge money.

I got gas today at the cheapest place by far that I know of. It was at least 8 cents cheaper per gallon than the place I used to go, and good 12 cents cheaper than some other places I passed on my way home today. The only problem is that this other place isn't convenient on the weekends (it's about 15 miles from our house), so I have to make sure that I get gas on my way to or from DD's school. If I buy about 30-40 gallons of gas per month, I'll be saving about $2.40 - $3.20 per month. Not bad.

I took the car in to get its oil changed this morning and then found a coupon for $7 off this afternoon! Frustrating, but the other car needs to go in too, so I'll be sure to take it in before the coupon expires.

Other finanical happenings -
*two tutoring appointments today
*all three meals have been/will be at home
*DH tutored last night
*found Balance gold bars at the 99 cent store last night. They were 2 for 99 cents, whereas normally they're a dollar each when I can find them on sale.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but my AdSense revenue for today for my tutoring site is great. I'd love it if it could continue on like this as a result of those site submissions I made last night! We'll see....

I did a Google search for "homeschool math tutor" and found a few sites to submit my tutoring site to this evening. Hopefully it will get added and send some more traffic and business my way. With the right kind of student, asynchronous tutoring is great.

Anyone need any Calculus tutoring?

I made a few changes to the text on my tutoring web site, hoping to get it picked up ina few more ways by Google and such. I also went into my listing at dmoz.org and submitted an updated site description there. More traffic to my site means hopefully more business and more AdSense revenue too, which gets added to my challenge money each month.

I have a new student to tutor online. I installed a phpBB board at my tutoring site and am using that to work with this new student. (The board is not public; one has to contact me and pay for time in order to get the link to it.) She paid for 30 minutes of my time. Yahoo!

Also adding in 32.79 to my challenge total, which includes half.com money, tutoring money and cc round ups for 2/1 - 2/8.

That brings my challenge total up to
$67.30 + $32.79= $100.09
