August 29, 2000

Here we are again! I hope this finds you all in good health and happy spirits.

I am on C#2, CD#18. I am a little more focused on getting PG than I was with my last entry. I noticed some slight spotting on CD#17 and wonder what that is all about. I usually don't have that happen. I am still very busy with the start up of our new business and VERY tired at the end of the day. Those two factors make the BD happen a little less than it should. I am also a bit worried that due to our leaving town, I won't be tracking with my computer and I will lose sight of where I am in my cycle. I will have a good idea, but with the program I am using I am spoiled I guess! It just tells me everything I need to know. I guess I will have to put a little more thought into it while we are out of town.

I am really excited about our trip. We plan on looking at some property while we are there and I am kind of hoping that we find something we like! DH came out of the blue the other day and said "Let's just put the house up and move." I couldn't believe what I heard! I think the more he thinks about it the more he really wants to get on the ball with the plan. So our five-year plan might become a five-month plan! As long as we find what we want, exactly, I am cool with the idea of moving in a few months. We will see what happens this week while we are there. If DH's brother had it his way, he would have us moved by now! He would have us living in a fifth wheel on his property until we found a place to live. I don't really like that idea; however, we might have to do something to that effect. We don't have enough money to put down on another house until we sell this one. So, if it came down to that we might do it. I really don't know yet.

I am also excited for our trip because my ILs and my parents will be there also! Every year we all meet up for the rally and it is kind of a mini-reunion. It is a lot of fun to see everyone together at one time. The only people that have never come are DH other brother and family. They almost made it this year but the plans fell through at the last minute. We can only hope for next year with them!

My business is doing pretty good for just starting up. I have sold some items to people I work with but nothing has been released to the general public yet. I am preparing a web page with all of my items that will be released sometime in September. I want to make sure it is ready to go and that I am ready to go before I unveil it. Keep your eyes posted for more news. I am really excited and think that if nothing else I will be able to sell what I have already made. The more I do, the better they are so I think I won't have any trouble getting this business off the ground. One of my biggest fears is that I won't have enough products once I release my Web page. My partner says that I shouldn't worry about that just yet. Once we get going if it looks like we need more product available then we will deal with it then. I will keep you all posted.

Well, I think that is about it for this week. I have so much to do in the next 24 hours to get ready for our trip it isn't even funny. Of course, by the time you all read this I will be just unpacking from our trip! I have to remember that we are a week behind on our posts! Sometimes it messes me up though.

Please come talk to me on my feedback board! I don't get there as often as I would like to but I do check in every day at least two times. If you post a message to me I will respond fairly quickly.

As always, I am thinking positive thoughts for you all!

Best regards,
Gerri
