Another day in Paradise!

Knowing that to form a habit one must repeat the behavior daily until; I decided to go ahead and get this out of the way early-you know eat the crust first-but here I sit, relatively early in the day and without much of anything to talk about. I could, of course, bitch about the weather since I am not a fan of winter but why would I focus on what I don't like and get more of that?

At the risk of boring everyone, I will go into great detail about what I think is exciting in my life right now because that is what I think about most of the time. We just picked up the local weekly just so we could see our new ad & it was awesome! I didn't place the ad so I did not realize we got a quarter page ad! We have all of our materials and supplies ready now we just have to wait for people to call. Fortunately there are so many fat, er obese people out there that need our help and when they see that we offer a class to teach them about nutrition, there is a support group of people with a shared goal & a coach to keep them on track not to mention that they can win cash for the top 3 losers, we know that they will call! We just can't decide if we want to go rent meeting places in the 3 counties we ran the ad in or do the classes online in a webinar. Isn't technology great? Our ad runs next week too and I was thinking about modifying it. The thing I really love about this business is the inventiveness of distributors and I know I have picked up many customers just by showing them how to eat pie and lose weight!

No, it is not any pie like you have ever had. It is shake pie and is actually good for you and low in calories not to mention delicious. I had a piece of pie this morning made with chocolate shake mix, chocolate soy, chocolate fudge sugar-free instant pudding & an oreo crust. OMG it is sooo rich and I relished every bite! I lost 11 pounds the first month I switched to the pies & I wasn't even trying!

As I read back over this I wonder how many people are as interested in health & nutrition as I am but I do know that so many commercials are about medications, weight loss or supplements-my goodness they are putting energy additives into cranberry juice & stuff in yogurt so the market must be massive! And if people will buy the heck out of stuff that is at a food grade what will they do when they find out some products are graded on a pharmaceutical grade so they contain a much higher percentage of the stuff they all claim to have 100% of!

Anyway, enough of that stuff. Right now I need to get some things done around here. We live in a rural area and none of the banks finance for more than 5 years on a home loan. At the end of the 5 years they look at your payment history & decide if they want to go another 5 years. Ours is due soon & we decided to shop around this time so we have to get an appraisal. Last time we got one the guy didn't even include half the property or the shed & we finished the attic and rehabbed the carriage house since then so we know it will appraise much higher than it did last time. I am particularly curious how it will work out this time because FEMA is buying some of the properties across the street so our good river view is going to be a fantastic river view but out of the floodplain. Some people don't think that adds to a property's value but it sooo does. They call them a 'million dollar view'. So I need to give my floors the once over and make sure the cat didn't vomit anwhere I don't usually go in the house like the attic. That bitch.

Well the day is not even half over but my husband says nobody wants to read this much. I did point out that nobody has read my blog anyway so what does it matter how long it is!! I breathlessly await the explosion of readers! Haha.
