I’ve managed to go for a brisk walk every day that I’ve been at work this week -and I will say that I’m starting to get back that feeling I used to have when I was in shape. I actually enjoy that feeling; an accelerated heart rate, sweating, panting…working my body out. I’m getting it back. Watching the latest episode of “The Greatest Loser” show was a little inspirational too. I haven’t started dropping the weight off but I’m not worried. It’s just a matter of time now. I am also expecting to start the 5 daily meal plan this coming Monday.


It was suggested to me to start reading Entrepreneur magazine so I’ve been reading it instead of my usual Maximum PC when I go the sit on the toilet. I’ve learned a lot recently. I also have a ton of additional ideas that I can now explore regarding other possible business directions I can go it. Their recent article that has got me thinking the most is their “Hot Trends”. They are listing some of the most recent trends in the US economy and how to possible do business in response to it. One of the things that was mentioned was “Life Caching”. That’s due to the fact that people are taking photos now more than ever since digital cameras are very affordable and there is no money spent on film. The problem is that most consumers aren’t well adept at managing the data once they’ve collected it. A possible service I can provide is management of photo websites, archiving, or even training.


I finally found my perfect pen! I remember finding these little gems at a Hallmark store years ago. I liked them at the time simply because they were thin and fit in my planner quite well. Over time, I stopped using them (AND my planner) and finally settled on the Pilot Precise v7 Rolling Ball pen:


It has a 0.7mm tip which I have found to be the perfect size for my writing. 1.0mm was way too wide and 0.5mm felt like it was scratching the paper. Well now that I’m starting to use my planner again, I’ve found that my old, trusty Pilot is just too large and bleeds through the paper too easily. I searched through all the office supply stores in town with no luck finding anything similar to the Le Pen. So with hope in my heart, I strolled on into the Hallmark store and there they were! All these years later and they’re still being sold there! Now that I’ve used them all over my office, I see just how much I prefer them over the Pilot. What’s amazing is the fact that the Le Pen has a tip of only 0.3mm yet it flows much easier and bolder. Now that I know, I’m never going back!

Isn’t this sort of information sickening to read? Who cares about what pen I use besides me? I don’t know but if you’re still reading this I thank you for paying me this much attention!!!
