Domain name? Check. Business cards and letterhead? Check. |

Find a place to live in Columbus? I'll have that done this weekend.
I'm going to piece together a living until I get my business going back in Ohio. For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful.

I've been talking to others in my field who are self-employed and their practices don't seem to be suffering in this economy. I have my niche, know my strengths and will build on that. :)

I found a house to rent. Built in 1864. Since I'll be working from home, I want to be someplace that I love. :)

That is wonderful news. Let me know when you move things in, and I'll be there with bells on (and a store of spirits I got from somewhere:P)
It's going to be so great to have you back! We miss you.

15. I'm so glad you've given yourself this to be excited about! |

You'll get to really succeed because of you, not some employers who just heard your name a week ago.
You're going to do great, and you know you've got hundreds of people here behind you all the way.

It doesn't have a washer/dryer or refrigerator. I can get by without a washer by using a laundromat. Refrigerator is another matter. It will work out somehow.

Oh, and the mowing. You saw the lot size in the ad, right? :wow:

The first time I ever wallpapered, it was to cover up 70's paneling. I had to put up backing paper and all. Most would have started with a border, but not me. I wish I knew how to do small. Life would be so much less stressful. x(

51. It's amazing what peace can be realized when you take that step |

when you decide you deserve to be happy and you can make it happen, on your own terms.
You can do it, lizzie - don't ever give up hope or belief in yourself.
