La Bene Vita

Tuesday

It seems blogging has turned into a weekly activity. But because my weight has ballooned, it shall be daily once again. And I'm embarrassed to say that I already started my morning off with a "Block O"   sugar cookie, which was probably four or five points, and it's only 6:00 in the morning. And with a studio full of leftover chips, pretzels, and candy from our highly successful Halloween Party, today is sure to be a test of my Willpower. Except that my name's not Will, it's Michelle, so maybe that's what I've been getting wrong all this time.

HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE, PEOPLE.

I picked a doozy of a time to start a business. First of all, it's clearly the apocolype.   (yes, the 2012'ers among you already knew this, but I'm a slow learner.) Second of all, we're in an economic recession here in Ohio, which is always a good time quit a steady, high-paying, benefits-providing corporate job and spend a bunch of (mostly borrowed) money in hopes of "eventually" making a profit. Third, and DUH, it's National Novel Writing Month  , so I should be writing, not working.

On the other hand, I my job; I've provided employment to eight people; and for some inexplicable reason, I PICKED THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. I analyzed this a little when I selected my location, but this town has rendered my wildest dreams the saddest little fairy tales. We are in the midst of a business explosion. Yesterday, we signed up our 61st private student (in case you're not keeping up, we enrolled our 50th student a week ago ). If I keep up this pace for the next month or two, we'll be making a profit before the snow melts, and my wallet will start to get fat again.

Which is good, because it needs to keep up with my hips and belly.
