The weekend... time to get busy!

So, the weekend is finally here! I should've been writing this earlier in the day- but there was so much to do! We've settled nicely in the new house. I love it soo much more than the apartment! It's spacious, quieter, and relaxing. It's taken me 3 years to finally get to this point; just a little bit longer and we can finally buy our next home! Not sure how long we plan to live here, I wanted to get my credit completely back under control before I even begin to apply for homes. Wonder if I can get my husband to do the same...?

In any case, its time to go back to work. The move is over and it's time to focus on more urgent matters. For instance; I've cut back on my eBay and side job to concentrate on this project. Now its time to jump back into my usual working habits! I have my own office now, its up and ready for use! I will have to make adjustments here and there. Such as a desk, instead of this dinner table I use, some decor cause its kinda bland in here. Just little odds and ends. My website is top priority at this point! I've purchased that sucker and haven't put but maybe a week's worth of work into it. Lame! Gotta get back into that stat!

I also need to start re-listing on eBay again! I've gathered most of my merchandise and I'm ready to start re-listing and going forward again! It takes a while to adjust to a new place, but I think I'm ready to get back into it. About last nights theory... I will test next week to see if that is indeed true. If it is; I'm going to work full-time from home so that I can handle that situation myself. Kinda nervous, I really don't want to know but... what can I do? Marcus thinks I am pregnant, and yes I feel different in the abdomen area. I wish the Internet had more information on how to find out if you are or not. Alot of the symptoms are so vague. I suppose we shall see soon.

In any case, look out people! I'm baaaaack! :)

Almost the weekend!

I'm a little more tired tonight than usual... Even though I slept once I got home from work. This cold is really kickin' my butt! I took some night time meds, I'll probably doze off here shortly.

I don't want to jump to any conclusions- as is usually the problem in my case! However; I think I may be pregnant... Well, during the move, it kind of gave my husband and I a little excitment and we 'cristened' the new house so to speak! On more than one occassion this past weekend. We weren't as careful as we normally are and- well I....

I FEEL different ok?? Not sure why, but I do! Maybe this is too early to suspect, but I really don't feel the same! Ugh, I am NOT going to suspect, guess or think about it! It's just been bugging me since yesterday. I have light cramping in my abdomen- ah! No! No no no!! Not going to think about it! Good night!

Late and awake

It's about, 10 till midnight here. I'm awake and thinkin about stuff ya know? I'm still sick by the way, maybe I'll be better by this weekend, I pray!

Trying to plan my weekend in my head. I want to finish unpacking boxes, but I also want to do some shopping! I guess unpacking would be the most logical thing to do first. I'm still debating on whether I should finish my office first or the living room? The bathrooms are still not done and the dining room is in limbo.

Oh well, Marcus is off this weekend, he should be able to help me out. He's really good at that; keeping me focused and on track. I tend to get sidetracked very easily, so he helps me with that :).

Well, unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow so I must sleep now... Really have to work on my website! Sooo behind, ugh it's rediculous! Night!

The battle is won...

So, we are DONE with moving stuff from the apartment! Phew! And I managed to get everyone else sick :(. I plan to return the keys back to them tomorrow, after I retrieve my mail and such. We're at the vets right now picking up our little cat. We had to get her little butt fixed cause she was all getting in heat and stuff! Tired of the yeowling.

Man, I feel like crap. Whatever this cold is its not fun at all! Oh, did I mention I now have office space!? Woo hoo! I also put my work out equipment in there as well- maybe I can lose some weight in the process!

It's about 10:30pm right now, I'm just finishing up some laundry. Washing some blankets so I can snuggle down into them! Feeling a little better to, maybe it'll be gone by tomorrow... Thank god its a 3 day work week! :D

The journey contines...

It's Saturday! Woo Hoo! ...well, sort of; we're still in the midst of moving and right now I'm at sonic getting food for lunch. I got up this morning and went to pharmacy to get more big boxes, then to wal-mart for paint spackle and newspaper- and what has my husband done??? Sleeping butt naked in the living room! Ooo! It's gonna be an ass kickin' when I get back to the apartment!

This entry is from the next day. Well damnit all! In the midst of movin what kinda crap happens?! I get sick! My throat hurts, I ache and now I have fever! Of all the times to get sick! Geez! The apartment still needs to be cleaned and there's still little things lying around- but I'm too freakin tired and exhausted to do anything about it!

My eyes are beginning to burn, I need to go to sleep here shortly. Maybe this coming up weekend I'll get a chance to rest.. I hope anyway. I'm so behind on business and my websites! I need to catch up soon... Please God, be with me...

Needing rest

The move is coming along as expected. We still have to clean however, but it's not as bad as I had initally though it would be. Marcus and I packed the kitchen last night- parted with some old stuff that I had not seen in years!

I need to get back to working on mu business tho, sort of running behind on that! If I don't catch up soon, I'll be in a pickle! Rest is much needed however at this point... I was up till 2:00 am working on an MP3 player for a co-worker of mine and whew! What a night!

So from 2 - 5:30 was ALL the sleep I got! And I still went to work that day! Ugh! I'm going to take a short nap after this entry, but there's so much to do!!! Well, I'll update this later, hopefully with pics of the new house! :D

What a time!

Wow! So much has happened soo fast! Well, first we're getting a new boss at work and I got to interview the candidates!! It was cool! I asked questions that I was primarily interested in. I don't want a stiff for a boss. AND Marcus and I are MOVING!! Woo hoo!

We got a duplex in the western hills district just outside of temple. It's not quite a house- but atleast its not an aparment! Whew! Sick of living in apartmens! We move this friday, I can't wait! Still have some loose ends to tie up, but we should be done and ready by next tuesday I pray.

The move has taken top priority at this point, so I haven't been able to work on my side job or business for that matter. Once its over however its back to the grinde! Yeah! Also, I need to back to the gym. I hope Moose doesn't think wrong of me. He is right tho; I missed 3 weeks I'll have a hell of a time gettin back up to speed! Ugh! Sorry Moose! I'll do better I promise myself!

Well, I'm really supposed to be asleep, but my mind is so awake! I'm gonna try and meditate; that usually helps. Until next time!

Tired

No work tonight. I went to sleep really late yesterday and had such a busy day today! My brain was pretty much fried by the time the work day was over. Well, in tonights news; I got approved for my duplex! Woo Hoo!! Yeah, not quite a house but hey it's a start!

I got approved pretty quickly, so that must mean my credit is getting better. Atleast I hope it means that. I need to get my butt to the gym! I've missed two weeks already! Ugh! I'll fall back into that slump if I don't start going again.

I'm sooo tired. But my mind refuses to rest. Just so much going through my head. This sounds off subject I know, but, have you ever felt that your best was simply not good enough? I suppose that's a dumb question, I guess lots of people feel that way sometimes now and again... I know I feel that way right now.

I wish... Eh, nevermind. Wishing doesn't get anyone anywhere. Night.

Truckin' along

So I'm up again; another night of brainstorming, creative thinking, trying to put ideas and dreams into my own reality.

I have always been interested in small business, business economics, working from home, owning a corporation, stock trading- all there is about the subject of business. Not to mention of course the obvious; Money!

Little does the majority of the population know that there are plenty of ways to create extra income online from your own home! Granted, it isn't millions of dollars or even thousands a day as some of the 'so called' ads lay claim to.

If you happen to buy into that claim, someone will indeed make a quick buck off of your ignorance. I am a victim of this as well, so don't feel bad. I did several of these 'Make thousands in your sleep!' or 'See how I made $4,325 in 24 hrs!' scams and spent over hundreds of dollars that I could've saved and invested into a legitimate business. Yet I did what everyone else desires; a way to make money that takes virtually no effort.

Unfortunately, that is not true. Under no circumstance is any money made without a little effort. Even if the effort doesn't seem to be much, you still had to put forth an effort. Even if it's 'stealing', and in some cases on the internet it can be, it was STILL an effort. However, it doesn't mean you have to steal in order to make some money. Stealing may cause a quick buck, but what about if you want to create residual income? A business that creates good profit and ROI and takes care of you, is something worth putting the effort in and working for.

That is my current ideal as of this point. I wanted money and quick to, but after much trial and error and of course some helpful reading and advice, I too have learned that in order to create lasting and constant income, you have to make the effort. I am not an expert however, I am still learning much about my business and the directions that I can possibly take it. I still work a 8-5 job outside of my home, and I will as it is reliable income that will support my family and my business until its own profits can show for it.

I don't want to go into much detail about my ideas, I may give them away accidentally :). In any case, I will be touching base back here soon. For now, I must finish my brainstorming and continue on till its time to sleep. Until next time!

Its March!

So, spring is supposedly in the air! However, it's still some bitter cold days here in Texas. This year however has been off to a pretty good start. So far to date, I've lost a total of 11lbs! Woo hoo! Didn't think I'd even go that far! Lets see, been impressive at work from what I've been told lately. Have a boost of self-confidence and making more friends. I've been very fortunate with money lately and making it so that's wonderful! Now, why didn't I think it was gonna be all that this year?

Doubt. I always being to doubt myself when I think things aren't going well. Ironically, I also doubt myself when things are going great! Only because, usually when things are at their best, its usually something terrible that brings it all crashing down.

Hopefully that will not be the case this year. I'm praying for a good, uneventful year! By uneventful, I mean no bad news, no tragedies, no heart-break- nothing of that kind! Now, if there are good things to come; by all means LET THEM COME! I love good news and happy things! Even though today's world can really bring you down, that doesn't mean you always have to be down!

I feel pretty good right now; I just finished a quick 45 minute work out and whenever I do work out, it always changes my attitude. I owe lotsa that to John, the big lug. He really did spark something in me and I'm liking it more and more.

In any case, life has been pretty good so far. I find that the more I throw myself into my work, home and at the office, I have become very distant. Its so strange, I strive to make it in this world and yet I feel so distant to people around me. I don't want to become robotic; I have 2 uncles like that and they will never know what family means because their work always comes first. I love my family and I would do anything for them. I hope they know that.

My mom asked me a couple of weeks ago; "Why do you want to be rich?" My response was: "I don't want to be rich, I want to be recognized. The money is just an incentive." I always have felt that in order to prove my worth I have to be recognized. I have to make the effort to do more than the average person. To dream outside the norm, live outside the box and create my own path and achievements. Is that wrong? In my perspective no. Although some people are very satisfied with their day to day lives and want nothing more than a family and a comfortable lifestyle.

Do I want that? Of course I do. I just want to make it look a little nicer and dress it up with my recognition. Perhaps I'm chasing a dream, and if so, I will do all that is possible to make it a reality. Did I mentioned that I'm very determined? So damned determined and stubborn, its hard for me to accept that my best was indeed my very best. I've been told by my husband that yes, "I do try to hard." or, "I'm too hard on myself." Yes, I know I am. But how else are you supposed to climb the ladder of success if you're not?

Want to go somewhere? No one will take you up there except Y-O-U. Think about it....
