From the looks of it it seems you are mining from a laptop.
If you already leave your laptop on 24/7 and mine when you are not using it, why not. However, the overall hashrate of 39 Mhash/s isn't that great compared to a desktop graphics card.
But as what soulmann said, it wouldn't be profitable at all unless you have free electricity. You would be looking at about $6 a month with that setup (Calculator here: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator )

I have estimated with my current hash rate I can get about 350 tacos a month from Taco Bell mining bitcoins.

Re: Am I mining or just running up my electric bill?
Ok, that makes sense. I know that going solo is the hardway to go and would take longer to see any results. I seen some posts on the GUIMiner support thread that showed quick results, so I wasn't sure if I had set everything up correctly. Was more concerned whether or not I was actually mining and that it's configured right. I'm going to look into the pooling and research that. Does your internet speed also affect your ability to mine?
So if I understand correctly, if I'm solo mining. I have to solve a whole block before receiving anything? If I join a pool, I'm "paid" by how much work my machine does if that pool solves the block?
Yes that is correct, when joining a pool you receive consistent payouts depending on the amount of work/shares your machine does, as opposed to waiting x amount of days to solve one block solo mining until you receive the 25 BTC Bounty.
