- So today kind of sucks. I went to work but I haven't had a voice all day. It is starting to come back a little bit but while I was really cold at work I am really hot at home. I am thinking the thermometer was wrong and that I have a fever but whatever. I go into work again tomorrow afternoon. But at least I get to sleep in and maybe get past this little bug. My first party was a success with three people I made $65 and got two parties from it. I do of course have other people who wanted to order so I have to find a time to go talk to all the others so that I can get their orders in soon and get more free books for my display. I went to the chat last night and got a lot of GREAT ideas for the Christmas season. I have another party this coming Sunday and the one for tonight had to be pushed back to next weekend. But they asked what our fall goals were and I have some major goals for each month. I have to for my life goals.
- That is another subject. If my plan works out I will be able to pay off every single bill I currently have by the end of November. I will try to have all but Dell paid off next month. Which would leave like $1900 on my Dell card which should be easy to pay off the following month. We will have to wait and see how that goes. But with at least 15 parties next month, plus 2 book fairs in the Cranberry area, and I am going to take the Literacy for a Lifetime that Leigh Ann has for me. With that next month and my library job I should have at least $2800 I think coming in next month. In November and December I should be able to fit in 10 to 12 shows and 1 book fair each month. But first I have to get some major leads. I am going to have a Christmas Open house for Usborne as well. We'll see what happens.
- In other news...I'm loving the library and I am caught up with Dell payments. I feel like crap today and really want to head to the warm beach again. It is getting cold here and all my stuff is stuck in Utah. Dad thinks he might be able to fix my laptop so Tammy is looking for it and will send it to me if she finds it. Tonight GLEE starts and I am super duper excited about that. Since I knew I wouldn't be able to spend money the next few months I kind of splurged and ordered season 1 of Glee and season 2 of Wildfire (a total of like $30). But in a couple months I will be able to spend money however I want. But from now on anything I buy I will be able to afford...NO more CREDIT CARDS for me.
- Well I don't think I have much else to mention right now so I am off to do some work. Maybe lay down and read for a while. Later
- So I was just looking at my friend Debbie's blog "Fighting the Girth" and it got me thinking. I weighed myself while on vacation and since I got home I have gained almost 20 of the almost 60 that I lost in Utah. Which means it is time to start walking daily again but the problem is that everywhere I turn here is a BIG hill. So that means I either have to start going to Brady's Run after work or use the treadmill which I hate (however doing that I could watch movies/tv or read). The point is I don't look like I have gained the weight but I know that I have so it is time to lose it all again. But I am still trying to get rid of the little bit of fat in my stomach and tone up my arms. That is besides the point though...I just want to get rid of the 20 pounds I gained after moving back to Pennsylvania. I'm sure it is all the stress I have been under without a job and with other situations in life.
- I now have two jobs and I started both of them in the past two weeks and both have to do with books. The first one is a librarian at the New Brighton Library. To be honest that has always been one of my dream jobs. So I am very happy there and the past two days there have been great. The people are great and I am learning a LOT!! The second is as an Independent Consultant for Usborne Books. I love these books and I have learned a lot from the books I've read. I had my first party last Saturday night and made $15 but she is still taking orders so I will hopefully get some more soon. I have to wait until my new debit card comes to actually place the first order. I am going to have my party in two weeks and I already have my first two parties booked for September.
- These stupid bugs in the house are starting to freaking get on my nerves. I am sitting here trying to type or eat and they are all over me. It is SO annoying...I am glad to get out of the house for a few hours every day.
- This weekend is the Canfield Fair and I am still debating on whether I want to go at all. I usually go to check out the horses and get a funnel cake/elephant ear and maybe ride some rides. But they are going Saturday for the Truck and Tractor pulls...LAME and Monday they are going for the horse shows...also LAME!! So like I said I may not even go at all. I have Friday off but I am going to spend the day giving the dog a bath and doing any errands I have. I am also going to have a GLEE marathon...well Volume 1 at least. Tomorrow after work I am spending some much needed time cleaning my room and picking a date for my own home show for Usborne books.
- Things in other aspects of my life are still iffy. I am trying to let go of some different things in my life but I can't because they won't let go of me. I know this probably doesn't make much sense to most of you but there are a few who will understand what I mean. Eventually everybody will know but for now I am not ready to share all the details with everybody.
- Can I just leave you with this one random thing. I love anything that is musical related...I'm sitting here typing and dancing along to the songs in Glee. The last one was Bust A Move...love it. K...well I am off for today. I will try to update more this month that I have been. LATER!!
