You Know Not!

I’ve finally lost ten pounds! It has taken me since the middle of January to do this. No, I did not break down and order cheap diet pills online. I counted calories and I counted servings and I got frustrated and it’s been an off and on struggle for the entire 5 months. And I get to keep on doing it for another 10 pounds.

have owned and operated several businesses in my life. None of them have been franchises either; they’ve all been one or two gal shows run alone or with a good friend. Well, two good friends, one at a time. I like working for myself, because I have some control over the workload. But it’s also precarious because I have to drum up the work, and it can be pretty scary putting yourself out there.

I am once again so very behind in my reading that it isn’t even funny. In fact, I never got caught up. The pile of books just shrinks and grows and is never really depleted. Same with magazines. And this weekend, I actually intended to spend some quality with ink printed paper, and ykw? Every time I sat down, someone needed something. Eventually, I will get to read. I promise me.

I know I talked not too long ago about my lack of knowledge on finances, and how I should really spend a bit of time finding out more about it. Not enough to become a futures broker or anything, but enough to understand the relative merits of some basic investments: cds, stocks and the like. YKW? I still haven’t done that. I’ve had other priorities. And YKW else? I can live with that.

See those coffee cups? I picked this theme partially because of those. I love me some coffee. Espresso. Cappucino. All of it! I’ve yet to meet a coffee beverage I did not like. If I had the space, I would totally get into some of those fancier drinks, like you can make with these capresso machines. For now, though, I drink regular coffee from a plain coffee maker, and visit Starbucks as often as possible.
