Can’t be successful if…

Alright folks its time once again for that random ass entry. You know the ones where I feel as though I should update but I don’t have much of anything to say? Yea, that kind. Anyways, what to discuss?

So, I was going to write about “all the freebies” you can get this week; Well, I only know of one. I suck.

http://realchocolate.com – Gives you a FREE chocolate bar every friday after 8am CST.

You can check that out and get your free chocolate bar. Make sure you sign up right away though because they go fast!

I’ve been slowing down (once again) on working on Coffee ‘n Coupons. I finally figured out the damn navigation for the header and it all looks good now. It seriously took me over three weeks of tinkering with it and changing the little things. So, its finally “done” for the most part. I have a few more articles I want to write, a bunch more printout’s and worksheets to work on that I want to get together also.  I don’t know when I plan on opening on it. We’ll see. I ran out and bought the domain thinking of a bazillion ideas of what I could do with it, and then I procrastinate. I think my main problem is 1.) I know once I open that’s it. There will be no closing it, upgrading it, updating the theme, changing the articles. If I want this to be successful it needs to stay consistent for my returning viewers so they know exactly where everything is. 2.) I need to update it daily. Every single day, I’m going to have to do a lot of research, a lot of hunting, and a lot of writing/typing every single day to be sure that my viewers are up to do date with the most coupons, sales, freebies, etc. 3.) I need to be “responsible” about it. No being lazy. I can’t pull the “Meh. I just don’t feel like doing it today.” because success doesn’t come to those who “just don’t feel like it”. So, that’s basically what’s holding me back. I’ll work on it a lot more in the coming days[_{weeks =X}] and see where that takes me.

I will be going out of town next weekend. So, ATTENTION ALL MY READERS as of next week Friday/Saturday I will be leaving to go out to Mike’s family’s cottage once again. This time we will be there from the 13th through the 21st. Yes, folks, I’ll be gone for over a week … with no internet!!! “Nikkole, what on earth are you going to do?!” *shrugs* Nothing I can do; I’m going to just spend the week, disconnected from the world, and hope that the world doesn’t end because I’m not online. I am still throwing the idea back and forth as to whether or not I want to keep the site opened during that week or put it under “Maintence Mode” so I have no worries about stuff. I haven’t figured that out yet. I will defintely inform you all prior to doing so though.

What’s going to be the hardest part of leaving for a week is the fact that I won’t see Mike. That’s right. He’s not coming with me. He had plans on coming up both weekends we’ll be there, and come home Monday – Friday. But he’s not positive he’s even going to bother coming up the first weekend. So, I could go from Friday – Friday without seeing him. =( That makes me one sad panda. I have spent every single night, next to him, since the first month of us dating four years ago. I believe there was one weekend since we dated, within the first six months where he went up to the cottage and I was at home. It drove us nuts.  Now, after four years, we’re going ot be apart for a week. What bothers me the most about it; It makes me nervous. What the hell? I have absolutely no reason to not trust him. In fact, I KNOW there’s nothing to worry about, yet deep down inside of my mind, I think … “Well, now he can do whatever he wants, and I’d never know.” I can tell myself all day long that he wouldn’t, but the fear is there. *shrugs*
That’s all for now folks… I doubt I’ll write over the weekend. So, everyone have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
