Day 17

I had a long day today. I went to church, then to a baby shower, and then I drove to Bakersfield for Dream Night. It was awesome. I don’t feel like blogging anything else. It’s pretty late and I just want to go to bed.

Day 16

I went shopping for a baby shower today and apparently I spent way too much money. I did buy for two babies (two families) but I don’t know what the spending limit is for a baby shower.

My mother actually made me feel guilty for not being cheap. My mom happens to be the cheapest person I know.

My Internet is still out but I’m blogging anyway. Nothing is going to keep me from making my commitment to blogging once a day. I might not be able to post but I’m still going to write. I think God is trying to tell me something. I really don’t need to do another 365 day project. I should wait to do it in two years after I get my business up and running.

I figured out what was wrong with my Internet. I accidently knocked the telephone cord out of the wall part way. It looked like it was in all the way but it wasn’t.

Day 15

The Internet was down last night so I couldn’t post to my blogs. I met a new person today. I didn’t get his phone number but I least I met someone new. Anyways, we were watching the news. If you don’t already know then you must live in a box with no windows or doors or Internet, but Haiti had a devastating earthquake.

I’ve seen the images and it seems like the quake wouldn’t have been so bad if the dwellings were compliant with some kind of earthquake building regulation. Not that making buildings more earthquake resistant can save anyone in a 7 (geez I can’t seem to remember the term for the strength of an earthquake) but it sure helps.

Anyways, the gentleman I met today commented about how poor Haiti is (the poorest in the Western Hemisphere) but none of the richer countries have tried to help this country.

I told him about my cousins who we’ve tried to help, not by giving money but by giving advice (go to school, keep a steady job, stay welfare) and we (the folks who live a better life) are met with very hostile threats of a beat down.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. - Anonymous (I think. Google was down and so I couldn’t give proper attribution.)

I’d like to add to that saying: If a man turns down the opportunity to learn how to fish, then he doesn’t want to eat.

I will be seeing what my church is doing to help with Haiti.

Day 14

I should be out getting my name and number but my headache, sinuses, and cough wouldn't make me a good candidate for meeting people. Who would want to shake hands with someone who's coughing and blowing their nose every 5 minutes?

I'm hoping to nip this thing in the bud but I have a feeling what ever triggered this is in the office I sit in. I think I might be allergy to my office.

I feel much better when I leave the room. I've been taking it much easier than I had planned because of my health issues. Tonight, I'm going to get to bed before 8:30. Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow after a few more hours of sleep tonight.

Day 13

Today's post is brought to you by the number 13 in honor of the thirteenth day of the month.

Too bad it isn't Friday.

I learned some great things in Bible study today. I have a whole lot of highlighting to do tomorrow. I need to set my daily schedule to paper and start making some phone calls.

My asthma is still giving me trouble.

I think the combination of cigarettes and oil reed diffuser triggered my initial attack, which is why the medications I've been given aren't working.

So much for blogging. I don't feel like it right now. All I want to do is go to bed.

Day 12

So much for going to bed early. I spend the evening in emergency care at Kaiser. My asthma has really been giving me issues. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest and my throat hurts from constantly trying to clear my air way.

Other than that my day went by okay. I really need to get over my fears because I'm tired of stuff. Stuff I wouldn't have to be bothered with if I would just hurry and build my business. Got to get it built so I don't have to worry.

I've been reading more of The Personality Tree. I still don't quite know what my personality is. Does that mean I have multiple personalities? I have a little bit of all four of the personalities described in the book.

Is it possible to forget someone lives in California? I had a friend text me today asking how far I live from Dallas? My answer: California.

Who or how can someone forget that? I can totally understand if this person was from another country as I've actually had someone from another country not have a clue about the difference between California and Colorado; however, I still don't see how anybody could mistake those two states. California was the state for Baywatch!!!!

Bikinis and cheap looking, fake-breasted blondes.

Dang. Anyway, I tried to sell the guy some supplements because he desperately needs something to help jog his memory.

I think he's been talking to more than one female and can't get it straight as to which female he's been talking to.

Day 11

I just sent my last email for the year. Just kidding. I don't think I will ever not use email as my main source of communication.

It seems I'll be traveling to D.C. in June. I have a friend that will be living there and I have some cousins who live there. I think I will spend about 5 days there all together. Do we have any holidays in June?

My asthma attacks feel like they are going away already. It could also be because I used my inhaler but who cares, right? All I need is to breathe better. I'm sick of suffocating. And I think the steriods the doc gave me is starting to shrivel up my tiny ta-tas.

I have absolutely nothing new to report. I still haven't gone out to get my names and numbers yet. I'm working on it. I had a missed opportunity today. I'm almost certain if I had stood there long enough to talk to this guy a little longer, I would have gotten his phone number. Not for dating, but for business.

I must go to bed now.

Did anyone notice I posted two Day 9s? I'm totally losing it. I think there might be more in my inhalers than inhaler. ;-)

Day 9

Today was okay. I went to vision night at church tonight. This year will be an exciting year.

I need something to do other than all the stuff I have going on. I don't like to be idle and some level of stress makes me feel productive.

I managed to go a week without eating desserts. Next week I will try caffeine/soda. This should be easy.

Day 9

I wonder if Dollhouse is getting cancelled. The storyline is going in such a way that I don’t think the show can recover. Everybody on the show seems to be dying off or being changed in such a way the show will not last another season. (Okay just googled the issue. It seems Dollhouse has been canceled.)

What a bummer.

I don't have much to write about today. Sorry about how short yesterday's post was. I only had ten minutes to post it before midnight.

I am reading Your Personality Tree by Florence Littauer. It's interesting because I don't seem know myself. Every word in each category describes me. I could have someone else help me figure out my personality type but I have not one person who knows me well. Out of the four personality types (Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic, Melancholy), I think I'm Sanguine/Choleric. You'll have to read the book to know all about the personality types. I don't feel like listing a short description of each.

I must get some cleaning done so I can work on my business. Take care.

Iron sharpens Iron

I went to a boardplan tonight and was rejuvenated with positive thoughts about the business. I love being around the people in this business. They are so positive and so encouraging and they just want to help. Iron sharpens iron.
