Sushi Chef tried to please me


I just wanted to share a picture of the orange a Sushi Chef carved for me. I went out for Sushi Saturday night. I feel awful because I totally ment to wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day.

I went to church with my mom for Mother’s Day and then I took her out for Korean BBQ. The food was delicious.

Random

I’ve had a very busy week. As you know, I went to Las Vegas the weekend before last. I learned a lot. I didn’t have much leisure fun but I did get to see the Blue Man Group, which was good.

I’ve been keeping busy networking and meeting new people. I went to one of my meetup groups yesterday and had a blast. I don’t seem to meet people my age in this particular group I meet with but at least they all have a sense of humor and I definitely learn from their life experiences, whether good or bad.

Anyway, I’m still trying to figure out this guy in my meetup group. I think I like him. One lady in my meetup group mentioned fixing her daughter up with him and I really, really, felt intense rage. I’m not usually territorial but I was that day.

I need to get out more and meet new people. I also need to get in the habit of updating my blog regularly. I have a few pictures I need to post. I don’t know why I don’t like blogging anymore. I guess with all that’s going on with me, I don’t like sitting in front of my computer. I’d rather read a book.

I think I’m going to get my own place next year. I’m tired of staying with my mom.

Las Vegas



Tomorrow I’ll drive myself to Las Vegas to hear John C. Maxwell speak on the subject of Leadership. I’m not looking forward to the 4-hour drive but I think it will be worth it.

I invited a friend to join me but I guess she won’t be able to make it. She might still show up but I haven’t heard from her so I’m going to assume she won’t make it.

I’ve been getting my Internet marketing campaign with my business. Telling people I know hasn’t helped drive traffic to my e-commerce Web site.

I actually have plenty to blog about but at the moment, I’m beat. Will try to blog this weekend. Hopefully my hotel room in LV will have Internet. For some reason I don’t think so. Bummer.

Dreaming Red


I’ve been really busy learning all I can about about my business. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day.

I’ve been really busy. I don’t seem to want to go into detail about it all though. I haven’t been much for blogging. I feel guilty about it. I did so well blogging everyday last year despite going to school. Why haven’t I been able to keep up with my blogging this year?

Anyway. I had a fun Saturday night. I met up with my meetup group and had a blast. I think I mentioned a certain red head. Or maybe I twittered about it instead. Anyway, he was very attractive. Very sweet too, though I couldn’t get him to get up and sing karaoke.

Which brings me to karaoke. I learned two lessons: 1. don’t sing an embarrassing song in hopes of getting others to sing and 2. don’t sing “I touch myself” by the Divinyls. I hope I spelled the name of the group right. Anyway, I don’t think I’ll be singing that song again. The end of the song is 20 repetitions of “I touch myself” and a couple of “Yes, I really do.”

I’ve been so lazy this past month. I haven’t been contributing to my blog or reading. I really need to get organized but I don’t like using my weekend to do it. I don’t even feel like finishing this post.

The Law of Attraction


It would seem like the law of attraction is working again. Man slut was at work today and we spoke and nodded to each other twice. Not sure what this means but I’m not comfortable with it.

I can’t stop thinking about him. And I think other people have picked up on the vibe. For example, I mentioned how folks weren’t signing out on the board at the end of the day and the person I said this to said so. Then this person signed out man slut. Man slut wasn’t the only person that hadn’t signed out.

The law of attraction. When you think about something, the universe will send it to you. I can’t stop thinking about man slut. It’s kind of like Twilight, when Edward stalks Bella. I’m Edward and man slut is Bella. This reminds me of that episode of Buffy, “I Only Have Eyes for You.” Buffy and Angel were possed by two lovers. Buffy was the teen boy and Angel was possed by the boy’s teacher. I’m not possessed though, in case you haven’t figured it out. I just can’t stop thinking about him.

I need to think about Red Hot. I met Red Hot briefly when I went out for Sushi this past weekend.

I need to think about winning some money when I go to Las Vegas.

I just checked one of my meetup groups. It seems Red Hot will be there. Ah, sooky sooky. Definitely wear some makeup. Let the universe send him my way.

The Law of Attraction

I watched the dvd The Secret the other day and now I’m listening to the The Law of Attraction.

I can’t wait until I get the book (The Secret) in the mail. I grasp things much better when I read it.

So far, The Law of Attraction says that, like attracts like. If I think negative thoughts, negative things will happen to me. For example, I often wonder why only man sluts are attracted to me. Well, according to The Law of Attraction, man sluts are attracted to me because I keep thinking about them. If I think about man sluts all the time, I will attract man sluts all the time.

Now I need to change my way of thinking. I need to think about men like Jim Bob Duggar instead of man sluts. I also need to think about how successful my business is. Yes, my business is successful. Nothing but positive thoughts from here on out.

I also understand why I haven’t found a new job yet. I don’t know where I want to live or what I want to do, so the universe is confused on what it is I want. Once I figure out what I want to do and where I want to go, the job offers will follow. I need to write my goals down, visualize them and then the process(es) I need to take to achieve my goals will be clearer.

I think I’m going to buy The Secret audiobook. Everything The Law of Attraction states rings true. Like attracts like. Positive thoughts for positive outcomes.

I have an iPhone


I bought my iPhone today. I tried to wait until June but I just couldn’t. I like gadgets and it’s been several months since I bought anything new.

I texted my cousin V and told her about my phone. She couldn’t believe I bought one because I don’t like phones. However, I’ve discovered Twitter and now I get it. Short and sweet and just my kind of communication. I’ve been twittering all day. LOL.

Anyway I added a business line to my phone. So now I have three phone numbers I can be reached at. I have a bunch of books I need to purchase in the next few months, all business related. I’ve got a bunch of free books coming my way. I can’t wait to get them. I went by a local cafe and inquired about renting the conference room for a couple hours a month. $75 for the first hour and $25 for every hour after. It sure beats renting a conference room for $200+.

Anyways. I’m strapped for cash right now. My tax refund isn’t as big as I thought it was going to be. Dang. I also have to fix this rental property.

As far as my schedule goes, it completely slipped my mind that I have an appointment to get my bush lasered which conflicts with my Toastmasters. Dang, dang, dang.

I watched The Secret this weekend. It was wonderful. I liked it so much I bought the book. Everything The Secret says can been seen in the philosophies of very successful people. I’m going to put The Secret to the test.

First things first. Think only positive thoughts.

I run a successful business.
I receive checks in the mail.
I am a great leader.
I own a beautiful home.
I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful children.
I drive a Ford Fusion hybrid.
I make $250,000 a year.
I have great sex.
I am in good health.
I write oscar-winning screenplays.

Those are just my top 10. I’m not sure if I need to have great sex. Hmmm. What do you think? Have you read The Secret?

I cannot describe my confusion over the TSCC. It seems like Fox is preparing to take TSCC off the air and the show is getting really, really good. The show is my favorite show on tv right now.

I just have this feeling this will be the last season of TSCC despite next weeks episode only being a season finale instead of a series finale. I wish they hadn’t killed of the eye candy. His death wasn’t all that memorable. Just a bullet to the head. Couldn’t the writers have come up with a more dignified or dramatic way for John Connor’s uncle to die? A bullet to the head. What a shame.

I went to a Buffy meetup group last night. It was interesting. I never thought I would be surrounded by people who loved Buffy that much. I’m going to have fun hanging out with them. Maybe I’ll even get an opportunity to meet Joss Whedon at one of the Buffy events.

That’s all I have to say about tv. Dollhouse is on and I want to try to watch it. I fell asleep watching last week’s episode.

My week


I’ve been too busy to update my blog. Starting a home-based business is not easy. I’m still trying to think of ways to drive traffic to my e-commerce website.

I started a blog for by e-commerce site. All I need to do now is generate a couple articles on the products every week. So, if I don’t update this blog regularly, you’ll know why.

I’ve decided on getting myself an iPhone. I won’t be getting the phone until the new ones come out in June, so I will have to make due with my Motorola Razr. I don’t really like my Razr but since my other cell phone has been falling to pieces, I’m glad I bought my $20 Razr almost two years ago.

Anyway, it was hard to resist not buying the iPhone when I went to AT&T to pay my bill. I made my decision to buy the phone in June when I showed up for my meetup group and was the only person there. The meetup had been cancelled but I didn’t know that because I didn’t have access to the Internet to check my email.

I’ve been trying out more of the products I sell through my business and I’m very pleased to say that the chips and snack bars are really good.

I’ve got some really good news to announce. I gave my first speech with Toastmasters 4 Writers and I won for best speech! I’m so proud of myself. I can’t wait to give more speeches.

I’ve been reading everything I can on investing and building a business. My two favorite authors are Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump. Who better to learn from a billionaire and a millionaire.

Diplomas and other stuff


I’ve received my diplomas in the mail! Yippee!!!! It took long enough.

I had a bad day yesterday when I got home from work. The products I had ordered from my business were sitting right smack dab in front of my front door for the whole world to see. So, I called my supplier and inquired about who does the deliveries for the company (i.e., Fed Ex, UPS, USPS). The lady on the phone was helpful and left a note on my account for my suppliers telling which ever company delivering my packages to leave my boxes on the porch, in the corner to the right of my door. You’d think the delivery man would exercise some common sense and automatically put my boxes there but I guess not everyone is born with common sense.

Then I got my business cards. I opened the box and I did not like what my eyes were seeing. I have a sage-colored border on my business card to match my Web site and the border only extended to the edge of the card on three sides instead of four. So I had to call the company and they gave me a store credit. I will use the credit to order some more cards but I have to wonder if they will turn out right. Had that company had some sort of quality control, my cards would have turned out right the first time.

Anyways. I have to start writing my speech for Toastmasters. I have no idea what I’m going to say. I started scribbling some ideas down today but I’m not sure they will make it to the final product.

I also came up with a script idea for a short film. I started outlining it. I know I said I would hold off on screenwriting but it’s really calling me.

I still haven’t gotten my taxes done. For some reason, I haven’t bothered to get all of my documents together. I need to make an appointment for next weekend at H&R Block. I hope I get a nice tax return this year.
