CRUSH!

Ok, not the orange or varietal of drink, and not the song by David Archuleta which I already blogged about months ago. A couple days ago, I dropped my phone in the bucket of sanitizer water at work. I looked down at the light in the water and my stomach dropped. I knew this was going to be costly. I don't have insurance on my cell phone. In 6 years since I had this provider, I have never carried insurance, because I am not careless with my phone and they are pretty durable. I don't even know what I was doing to just drop it. But there it was. I took it out, tried to dry it off, followed the advice of 6 different people saying to let it sit in rice. But it was not helping my situation at all. The buttons were all fried. So I went back to the US Cellular Store in town and renewed my contract early, and found a touchscreen Motorola Crush phone! It is nice, and easy, and I am still getting used to using it. It isn't super duper flash, but it was only $100. I wasn't about to get a phone without a qwerty keyboard, and the buttons were just as much as the touch screen. I will probably feel the lackluster of this phone will do me for a year and then get bored of it, as usual!

I am slowly getting closer to Tax Season. Every month we pay sales tax to the state, and every month we pay our withholding tax to the Treasury department, but quarterly, we need to file all our paper work and such, and now it is year end tax time, so I am sitting down with my accountant tomorrow for a fun filled few hours of logging all the stupid general ledger info into a balance sheet and walking out with my shirt, if at all possible.

I need this guy to make something happen for my mortgage to work. I hope I can qualify for it. I am nervous as hell about not being able to make it work. But even if it doesn't, I am going forward with my trailer plans for the fall. I am going to do well in July with the festival in town. And if that works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. We'll just have to find a new plan for the next year.

I still want to help out a friend but he still hates me for some I dunno reason why.

If we get somewhat ahead this summer, I will still be able to do what I need to do to help. But I still have mortgage notes, insurance, taxes upon taxes, and the end of the year isn't nearly over. I need to keep working on this business to build it. This town is small but we are getting people coming in from neighboring towns as well! I always said that if everyone in town were to come in once a month, I'd be a millionaire! This town would definitely be in for a treat with a BIGGER "TOAO NIKOS!" And it will happen. Someday.

As I am ready to sell it all and walk away, I will be happy to take a rest for 10 years and just do NOTHING! lol

Perhaps a beach in FIGI!?!?
