The new business is going well. I am slowly building a customer base. New business cards have been ordered, as well as other business enhancers.
Haven't seen the candles yet? Click on the Scentsy link and check them out.

My Birthday Wish
I would also like to add to Lela's post about her birthday wish. If possible, please go to Lela's blog, click on her birthday wish and make a small donation to Caedyn's marathon.
Our birthday is a shared day, next Tuesday, the 11th. I was hoping to spend the rest of next week with Terry in California and actually use any money from my birthday for a day alone at Disneyland. That may not happen. I will know better by Friday.
And, in reviewing astrology and such, I have been advised that until the 19th, I should be lucky in achieving my dreams regarding a new career. I am hopeful and would love to get everything done in time so I can actually do some of my own work to make this good luck come true. Wish me luck if you can.

Scentsy
Another new business, to try to keep things going while I look for work. My sister-in-law has been very successful with this and I happen to agree that the candles are very nice. They are wickless, meaning no flame is needed at all. The wax is warmed using a ceramic warmer and a light bulb. They can be left on for hours without the worry that a fire will be started. The scents are wonderful as well. The scent for November is Cinnamon Cider with a very adorable snowflake warmer as the warmer of the month. The warmers come in red, white and blue.
There are also the plug ins that are perfect for smaller rooms.
Take a look if you're interested. The plug ins and a scent bar make a perfect present at a reasonable price.

Job Search
After being laid off due to a reorganization, I have decided to focus my main attention to getting a job in the field I truly want to work in: Publishing.I am looking for anything in the publishing field; reading books for editing, editing, anything.
I am also going to work on getting my MFA in creative writing and a minor in journalism. But I will be starting with an associates in English. I have enough credits to be a junior in college, but I really want my Long Ridge Writer's Group credits to be applied to the MFA, not the associates.
We'll see how it goes.

Politics
So much is being said about politics lately. The only thing I want to say is, Palin does not get my vote. Period.

Changing Blogs
I am changing my writing blog to correspond with the writing better. My new blog is listed.
REP Specialties
My website for the new busines is up and running. I have been successful in passing out at least one business card every day. I hope that there will be some visible success soon. The website has been added to the list of links.

We're working hard, way too hard. House is getting refinanced, finally. That is a load off our backs and a major stress relief. As a team, Terry and I are working a second job together for a short time to take us over the top financially.
I have a friend who sells romance enhancement products and does the parties. She is starting a website and bringing on others to sell the products via website or parties. I have chosen to become a consultant via the website. I am looking forward to this. But it seems to be taking forever.
Terry and I took last week off from work to try to get more stuff done around the house. We didn't accomplish much. I did most of the laundry, got an appeal letter written for the kids' denial for a zone variance, got a payment letter written for our former landlord and researched companies that do self-publishing. Terry got curtains put up in Micaela's room. But we didn't get much else done around the house until last night. I painted half my office. I have to do it in sections because of the stuff in there that just can't be moved because I have to be able to work. I painted one wall the same color of green as the front room. The main part of it is the same brown as the rest of the house.
There are writing updates on my writing blog.
Take care and sweet life.

Terry is out of town this week and Derek is camping with the Boy Scouts. Last night Micaela spent the night with her best friend, Taylor. So I was all alone.
I did what I had been wanting to do. I updated my blogs. I also went to a website for writing, authornation.com. I started my postings and membershpi there and have made two posts. I updated my writing blog with the information.
Now the girls are trying to figure out what they are going to do for the rest of the night and have made a list of movies they intend to watch.
I plan on watching more of my recorded shows and maybe the ones I rented. And I plan to write.

Wow, Am I Behind or What?
So, the house was finished and walked through, signed for and moved into on September 17, 2007. All the nit and gritty and heartache will not be gone through in this blog. Those who need to know, do.
For my birthday, we went to Aspen. We got to see my little brother who is attending school in Colorado Springs at the School of Mines. We are all very proud of him. He will be graduating in 2009.
Thanksgiving was spent at our new house with all our relatives who weren't working. We had 18 people in our house, two turkeys, lots of side dishes and a wonderful time. The house is way big enough to handle such a large group of people and still had room. And my kitchen made me very proud. It handled six people moving around in it without any problem.
Christmas was spent between the two families, as usual.
I asked Terry to help resolve my issues with my mother by speaking to her. As of this writing, it hasn't done any good. She is bringing up issues from when I was like 6 still. Very childish.
Terry has traveled alot again this year. In January we went to Napa Valley with him. Even in the winter time, that place is beautiful.
Derek actually had a get together for his birthday this year. He went to Laser Quest and then we had a surprise party for him. Again, my house did wonderful with all the people. I can't even begin to explain how much more stressful it becomes when you have a teenager in the house.
In February, Derek earned Second Class in Boy Scouts. In March, he was elected Patrol Leader. He also earned his First Class. He should have Star rank before the end of the summer.
In May, we went to Big Bear with the Boy Scouts. First time there and it was beautiful. The weather was nice, no bugs, lots of squirrels and lizards. Fun was had by everyone. I want to go back when we don't have to be with the boys.
The kids have finished school. Finally we don't have to worry about making their schedules or agendas and fighting with them to finish their work. I am proud to say Derek got his grades up, which was the whole point of home schooling them.
On Father's Day, Derek left for Summer Camp. He'll be home on Satuday. Terry is out of town as well. So it's just Micaela and I this week.
