Another Day

No clever titles since I don't really have any idea what I'm going to blog today. Things have been busy and not at the same time.

My computer is having a major problem connecting to anything. It's confused and thinks it is connected but won't do anything. Luckily I have Stacy's computer to communicate to the outside world. This is wonderful but I also need to update my website; get on the Artists in Georgia website and another one for artists.

My Entrepreneurial Artist seminar on Saturday was great. Now I need to put the principles into action. No more just sitting and doing bears. If I want to be a business success I need to spend 60% of my time on marketing and 40% on making bears. Stacy and I have formulated a plan. Now it's my turn to put it into action. I also learned that words are important. When you're trying to sell people don't care how much you've enjoyed making what you do so I need to learn a new selling language.

I'm also looking for a job. Trying to remember what the dates and phone numbers are has been tough since I haven't worked in over 13 years. Several companies that I worked for have either gone out of business. That's my goal today is to come up with a resume. I started one but I think they need more than a name and phone number.

I have several Jack stories too. I could probably fill a whole blog with them. I call him my little Swedish boy because you can ask him a question and he'll say "yah". But on the frustrating side; you ask him a question and he'll repeat back what you said. Great practice for his talking ability but not the answer I was looking for. Yesterday I was crying (no gory details) and Jack said Grammo's crying so he gave me a kiss. Today I pretended and Jack says "Grammo's crying did you kaboom?" That's what I like a strong sensitive type. Josie's still the little social butterfly. Between school; ballet; violin; and play dates there isn't much time for interaction. We have gone to the library together and I'm sure there will be other outings.

Now the biggest challenge of the day is to think of something for dinner. Since it's Halloween; how abouat some greasy grimy gopher guts?
