American Express really is interested in me as a financial planner. I figured "financial planner" was their cute way of saying "telemarketer" Although it sounds like it is some of that, it sounds like it could be a real career. The question is, is it right for me? The answer is probably not, but I... Sign in to see full entry.

conversation I had with Christy today. I gather she has had some problems with Rev Nancy too. Which surprises me since as far as I know she hasn't been that involved in church and has only taken a couple of classes. Of course I was away for a year too so who knows what could have happened then. Of... Sign in to see full entry.

between not feeling well and getting that bad critique of my copywriting assignment. I've had to regroup a little. I knew when I started this full time writing thing there would be rough spots so that helped, not expecting things to go smoothly all the time. What I didn't expect were all these...

as a full time writer is over for the time being. I got a terrible review on my copywriting assignment. I'll have a chance to improve it but that will take time. Since I figured most of my income would come from the copywriting and I've only got enough saved to last about two months I'll need to get... Sign in to see full entry.

I've caught myself thinking a couple of times, "Oh this is too hard, I think I'll just forget it. But I don't want to be that sort of... Sign in to see full entry.

Now that I've had a few hours to think about it, I think I did the right thing in telling Mom the truth about the health insurance situation. This is what self confident people do, tell the truth and deal with the reaction. I think I did some growing today. I think what I did this morning will help... Sign in to see full entry.

Boy was that umpiring fun. I didn't actually do it today but it was fun just watching and talking about it. I'll get to try it myself on Friday. I thought a couple of times, oh this is too hard I don't want to do this. But I don't want to be that sort of person. I don't want to be the kind of person... Sign in to see full entry.
