Writer's Block... or not?

I've been sitting here looking at this blank white screen trying to think of just ONE thing that was exciting in my life this past week. Let's see... what DID happen this week...?

I was no-showed twice this week by people who made an appointment to sit down with my team leaders and I to see our business. Some people have NO integrity! They could have at least called to say they couldn't make it! I couldn't make a contact with anyone this week! I even had some people run away from me! Literally! I don't think I look THAT scary... and Halloween was over too! How am I supposed to build a business when I can't even talk to people? Frustrating!

What else happened...? Oh yeah... this happened last Thursday, but I forgot to write about it in my last post... how could I have forgotten this? I had come home from the meeting that had me so steamed in my last post and was quite hungry. We had some frozen French Toast sticks (like the ones Burger King sells for breakfast...MMMMMM) in the freezer, so I turned on the oven and started laying the sticks out on the cookie sheet. I went into the living room and asked my wife if she wanted some, and she absently says "Sure, but empty the oven first before you turn it on." It was at that moment that I began to smell smoke! I raced back into the kitchen and ripped open the oven door... sure enough, my wife had stuffed it FULL of Tupperware to get them out of sight instead of washing them and putting them away!! To make matters worse, she had draped the dish towel over the oven door to completely hide what she had done! By the way, Tupperware melts very smoothly!!! There was melted plastic all over the oven racks and oven floor! Smoke just filled the kitchen when a long slowly moving blob of plastic dropped directly onto the lower element, which was still red hot! I lost it,I mean, I just lost it!!! I started yelling about storing ANYTHING in the oven, and my wife came running into the kitchen to see the damage. She took one look, and started laughing!!! LAUGHING!!! At first, the more she laughed, the madder I got! And the madder I got, the more she laughed!!! She was doubled over, holding her stomach, actually screaming in laughter!!! Finally, I started laughing too... I couldn't stay mad with her laughing so hard! I had such a mess to clean up! I guess we now have an excuse to book a Tupperware party! Sheesh!!! As if I needed another reason to part with my already scarce hard earned money!

This past month has been terrible for expenses! Especially since I was laid off a few weeks ago! My last paycheck, equivalent to 3 weeks pay, is already eaten up! I had to go to my mortgage broker today and beg for more money! I HATE doing that! The good news is, he thinks we qualify for an Equity Line of Credit... but I HAVE to get my business going!!! I only qualify for $20,000 less than I hoped to get, so I need some good steady income to be able to keep solvent. I'll find out next week whether I've got it or not.

Wow.. look what happens when you just start typing!!! The words just come rushing out! Very therapeutic, this blogging! LOL
