Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Welllll I finally took the plunge and changed the look here- I like it, reminds me of Spring and even though it isn’t something I designed myself, I’m thankful to the person who did design it- whomever you may be.

Soo What do y’all think??

For a while now, Marcel and I have been talking about how much we’d love to move to the area where my parents live. It is extremely remote where they are, and the one big argument Marcel has about living there would be that the Internet connection is a ‘dinosaur’ as he calls it. In other words, because the area is so remote the only option is dial up, which as we all know, is not the most reliable connection in the world.

Since I also use the computer for my work, and also to keep connected to friend and family via Facebook and email, I explained to him that a good Internet connection was also important to me and that I felt quite sure that there was something out there we could be happy with when the day came that we make the move. I did a little research and sure enough I found satellite internet service providers, which would offer us not only a stable Internet connection, but also a connection which is at a much higher speed than what we have in our current location. Marcel seemed relieved that he wouldn’t have to go back to the ‘stone ages’, so at least that one little problem is solved when the time comes for us to move. I wish it was tomorrow.

This morning I was thinking about how in order to be successful at anything, I need to have goals, and lately because of all the things that have been going on in my life and in the life of those I love, goals have been the last thing on my mind.

As I was on the elliptical today, I was thinking about business hosting and how there were several companies that would meet the needs for the possible business venture that I am maybe going on with someone very near and dear to me. Before I chose the hosting for my sites, I also read about which sites offered what and made an informed (or what I thought was informed) decision based on the different reviews I read about the sites. The same will apply before making any business decisions.

As I was sweating away on the elliptical, I realized that aside from a few hosting ideas, and research I’ve done about that, I really don’t have the plan written out. Granted, it’s thought out in my head, but I need to put paper to pen and start creating some plans, and goals. Not just in this aspect, but in all aspects of my life.

It’s the only way I’m going to get where I need to be. Care to join me and start making a few goals of your own?

It’s that time again- Tax Time. I’ve been putting off getting the taxes done for a few weeks now, and I finally decided that I may just try to do it myself for a change. I knew it would save close to $75 that I’d have to give the accountant, plus I figured if it was too hard, I could always let him do it. I ran a few things through the document scanning software, organized everything in order of how I thought I’d need it and I began. I had a pretty good idea of how our taxes should look, and my efforts were correct, I think. I send them in electronically, so if they aren’t correct, I’m sure I’ll hear something soon enough. In the meantime, I’ve been patting myself on the back for getting it done, and with time to spare.
