DEATH AND TAXES

The two things that are certain in life are death and taxes. I know what they mean when they say that now. This month, I have about $3,000 in tax liability due. So I am nervous about that today. Actually, I have been nervous about that for the past couple weeks. For now, we have completely been stocked since we opened. We never once ran out of ANYTHING since we opened. Which is a good thing. I never want to inconvenience anyone by running out of stuff. I have worked at places like that before. And honestly, the way people leave when you run out of stuff is horrible. So we have consistently been getting compliment after compliment every day on the food. I had a couple hiccups along the way with some staff, but those things are going to happen.

I have a new roomate (border) who has a puppy pit bull. I have no problem having the puppy, but damn thing pissed on my carpet a couple times and on the couch once. That was enough to keep her OFF THE FURNITURE completely. I love dogs. It's been a while since I have been able to have one. I grew up with dogs all my life. But then I moved in an apartment when I was 15 and couldn't have one since. Although we did sneak one in at one apartment complex I lived in when I was in Marietta, Georgia. It was a beautiful black and white Siberian Husky with beautiful blue eyes. Her name was Dakota, and she was our baby! I still think of Scott Lorfing once in a while. Last I heard he is living in Florida with a wife and who knows. That was a long time ago. And some memories are better left in the past.

Today I need to go to Sterling to talk to the accountant about these taxes and pick up my payroll checks. I am still nervous about writing those checks. But for now, I am good. Business is a bit slower now that it is getting colder, but we are still steady. Indian Summer is coming up on us hopefully soon so we can get one more boost before the winter months. We have Halloween coming up and then Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Following that, we have nothing until March or April. Which is why I am looking into this Pool Hall thing. It is full of possibilities. I just need to find the additional $60,000 in financing if it takes even taking a partner on so that we can make it work.

It will work. It is a good location for this type of business. But for now, I need to get going. Have a good day. I know I don't get to get on here as often as I like. Please stay tuned! :-) Love you all!
