A Blog Just to Blog....

I haven't written in awhile, but that's because I don't know what to write about! Not much has been going on... Let's see....

I signed Indie (my little female dog) up for this program called D-SNIP. It's a low cost spay and neuter program for local animals. I donated $40 to the organization and they gave me a ceritficate that allows Indie to get spayed for free at Aspen Tree Vet Clinic. It was going to cost me about $250-$300 at the vet we've been going to, so $40 is AWESOME!

Also, we've had our first freeze and my garden died. But don't cry for me because I got a lot of great veggies from it. I had so much squash I didn't know what to do with it all, and I still have some tomatoes ripening in the house, and I pulled all my carrots. So I still have a lot of enjoying to do.

Zack and I found a gym to join, too! It's cool because they're aren't any enrollment fees, and it's about 24/7! We haven't actually signed up but that only because we have to meet with the owner to sign up and we can't seem to find corresponding times between our work schedules to meet him... But soon!! Hopefully this week.

I dyed my hair last night! And Zack bought me some hot-rollers so I can curl it in the morning! I LOVE it! My hair's like a dark auburn now. I will post pictures on FaceBook tonight.

Zack and I are getting our pictures taken this week. That ought to be fun! I'm still not decided on where we're going to get them done, though! I'm thinking on the river trail behind the mall... That usually doesn't have a whole lot of people. Any suggestions?

As far as work goes, it's still all the same. I guess it's a little better now that my attitude's changed, but I'm still on the lookout for a job I won't refuse. There was an Account Executive (which I'm pretty sure that means "Ad sales person") opening for the radio station that I sent my resume to, but I'm not sure my resume is impressive enough. I think I'd be good at it though.

And my book! Ah, my book! I really like where it's going, but I haven't written in it in a couple of weeks. I haven't been motivated. I need to just psych myself up with some awesome scenarios so I'll want to put it to paper. Believe me, I'm thinking....

I bought some new winter boots that just got here today. They're pretty sweet. I've never had real winter boots before. I almost wish it would snow so I could wear them! ...almost...

Anyway, I guess that pretty much brings me up to date with you all.

Another Entrepreneurial Adventure

Gosh, I should just change the name of my blog to something like "I Change My Mind Every 5 Minutes" or "I Have Too Many Ideas for My Poor Little Head to Hold".



I have started on my story (I can't call it a book yet, that'd be too presumptive) and I've vowed to write something towards it everyday. Whether it's one sentence or 10 pages. Right now I'm at 5 pages. All I will say about it is that there is magic and a dangerous love interest. I hope it ends up being good.



Anyway here's my next idea which I've always secretly and not-so-secretly wanted to do: a boutique. But I think more along the lines of a higher end thrift store. Not consignment, but more like I'll hunt for cool things and then resell them. I don't know, maybe it'd be partly consignment. But then some of things I'm going to alter and modify so that it's more up-to-date. I think it's a cool idea. And also it's something that pretty much could be successful in any town so long as it's Durango-size or bigger.



Also, it makes complete sense for me to have that kind of store. I'm a thrift-store/consignment/vintage/ebay buying junkie. And everyone recommends doing what you're good at, and I'm good at buying cool stuff (at least I think it's cool) and I think that people would really benefit from looking designer while being consign-er. Also I've bought a bunch of books about starting online business and selling and buying clothes online. A couple of them are how to find quality things at thrift/consignment/vintage stores. And one of them is a how-to book on altering clothes. And get this! I'm actually reading them! I'm a great reader, but I never read anything that's not fiction, so I'm very proud of myself.



So I'm working, reading, writing, and daydreaming. I hope I can get everything I want to do done soon! I have zero patience when I want something. But the best part is, it's all up to me!
