It's Official!

Well, folks, my business is official. As of about five minutes ago, Dot the I Writing Service has an official number and slot in the computers down in Salem. (For those of you who didn't know that I have a writing service, click http://www.dot-the-i-writingservice.com/default.aspx to check out my website.) I had dragged my feet on registering my business because of the $50.oo fee to do so, but I must fork out money in order to be paid, so ... here goes! Also, I have my first client! Hoping and praying that this job will be just the first of many.

I know I haven't written much lately, but there really hasn't been much to write! Mark hasn't been feeling well, but hasn't been too terribly bad either. (Three evenings in the ER last week for pain management, but that's nothing new.) We've been (until yesterday) incredibly broke. Beyond broke. (I took our account down to $2.oo when I paid the water bill, but forgot about the auto-withdrawal of my life insurance. Dang! Nothing like starting the month $50 in the hole due to fees.) So, without funds to even do so much as buy gas, we had a very uneventful week.

Our anniversary came and went without much to report. Becca took the kids, and Mark and I had a special dinner alone. It was kind of weird at first! Without the kids there to drive the conversation, we had to think a bit to come up with things to talk about. Unless we wanted to talk about the kids, of course, but I wanted to stretch a little beyond that well worn topic! It was nice, though. It's SO easy for a couple to just become "Mommy" and "Daddy."

What else? Nothing really. I've been writing up a storm. I've decided that this is the year I break in. Don't ask me why. I just feel it in my gut. Of course, it may be indigestion. I guess we'll see!
