Catching Up

I have been very busy lately with work, my new home business and, of course, familial duties.

I'm taking my fun where I can get it. Here are a few items of interest (perhaps only to me?)

1. Tarah (my 3 year old) wonders why all the Disney Princesses have white skin? Hmmm...I remind her that Pocahontas has brown skin and then let it go at that.

2. Need to take tutorial on QuickBooks...have found the Intuit website wholly unhelpful for a complete beginner like me. I did find a non-profit organization called the Malvern Rouge Valley Youth Services. They have online tutorials (for free!) for many popular programs including QuickBooks and some computer languages. I have put the link in above even though I am currently having trouble going to their home page.

3. The business of transportation brokerage is slow but I am hopeful that things will pick up as I make more contacts and flesh out my paucity of knowledge about this field.

4. Trying to go to sleep a little bit earlier each night as fatigue is my primary nemesis.

5. The computer and the Roger's Rocket allow me to operate completely without reliance on any wi-fi hotspots. Hooray for technology, boo for all the damn fees. Someday, I'm sure, we will all be flying to work in our own personal helicopters.

6. Work Christmas party is on this Friday. We have a baby-sitter that we trust and I am very much looking forward to kicking back with colleagues. Yes you....Marcee, Lauren, Pam, Chris, Val (hope you're there!) and of course, Terry. Some others too, but these are the ones that come readily to mind.

7. Finally put up the Christmas tree and am feeling the pressure to start buying gifts before it gets too crazy out there.
