hi all, sorry i have been MIA for over a week. I have been very busy promoting my facebook pages for my two online businesses and working on a website for a third online business. I am also working hard on a couple baby books and some scrapbooks for others. I need to make sure I am scheduling time daily to write on here as this is where I am tracking this new stage of life. my pain has been managable except that last friday i went to renton river days and spent the day there having fun people watching and talking to people and seeing friends.......and it took until monday for me to recover from it all. it really did a number on my knees. but it was a really fun day and nice to take a break like that. anyway i hope everyone is doing well, peace and luv to all, laura :)

today was a good day, i have an order that will be for 4 scrapbooks and 1 frame-able collage. still waiting to hear from the grandmother of the girl who received the baby book over the weekend. been applying for jobs like mad including one for a part time babysitter. i will do anything to keep this apartment at this point. i have been watching charmed the last few days. it is an amazing show. anyway, been busy networking and job searching so life is kinda boring these days :) till next time peace and luv to all ~~ laura

today i worked on my website mostly. as with most things in my life it is a work in progress and always will be. i also took about a three hour nap. i knew i was tired but didnt realize i was that tired. also, jaymee gave one of my baby books as a gift today and everyone at the shower loved it and the girl's grandma is supposed to be calling me soon with orders for more work :) yay paying customers!! unfortunately in working on my website, i realized that the last two baby books jaymee gave away are missing pages so i need to get those done and off to her to give to the recipients of the books. anyway, i still have a lot to do so until next time, peace and luv to all ~ laura

well so much for the excitement of interviews. the one for yesterday turned out to be a 3 hour commute each way and that is just way too much for me with my back and leg issues. and the management position that i was so stoked about -- well it is a scam. they hook you in with this management talk then you end up being one of those pesky people out in parking lots selling knock off perfume. on the plus side, i have 116 likes on my fb page for all the fine details and it is bite of seattle weekend and robby walden and the gunslingers are playing and i have had the pleasure of seeing them before in sequim and love them so gonna go see them. sometimes it is good to let the hair down and have fun :) so peace and luv to all ~~ laura

Had a really good day today. I interviewed for a management position and got asked back for a second interview friday. I also got a call on the way home and have an interview tomorrow morning. it is a little out of the way, but hey a job is a job!! i had 2 hours each way today with a 1/2 mile walk each way for literally a 15 minute interview. I am honestly sore as hell but it is so worth it if i can land this job. i finally broke 100 fans on my page on fb for All the Fine Details this morning!! that was a huge accomplishment to me. anyway i am off to la la land - peace and luv to all ~ laura

well yesterday i was having remorse for not following through with my plan of homelessness, but today i am totally stoked about finding a job - i applied to 20 jobs today and a few more temp agencies and contacted my contacts at the agencies i am already enrolled with. i also did some marketing stuff for my own business All the Fine Details. my fan page on fb is now over 60 people. Which I am loving. As more people like my page and comment on my work it just makes me want to make this work even that much more. i even asked strangers today if they were interested today. so yeah today has been a really good day and i am happy and sure i made the right decisions. so talk to you all tomorrow, peace and love to all, laura
