Terry did a lot of research before even calling a lawyer to represent his business and himself. Smart move on his part. He made sure he looked at the Attorney Profile, and credentials of the lawyers. Not only did the lawyer he chose represent large businesses, but counsels individuals, bankruptcy, estate planning and corporate businesses. It was good enough for my friend and he liked the idea of this combined practice and knowledge.

Since I have a small business and if it ever grew larger,  I certainly would want a good lawyer on my side who knows about the ins and outs of the legal aspects…something I have only a smidgen of knowledge about. It would be most beneficial in the business world.

I’d also like to get some lawn and porch furniture, the chairs and such I have now are worn and I want a fresh new look.

I know of a few stores that have some great sales so perhaps I can also save some money to sink into new garden tools and also some planters I’ve been wanting to buy. I’ve got to replace some of the old bricks in the courtyard and also get some more seeds and top soil. I have a feeling this is going to be an expensive shopping trip, but I’ve saved all winter for this and nothing is going to deter me!

Snow in April, only in Michigan. This is so crazy and it feels like it’s never going to get warm. Of course, I had to put on boots and a heavy coat, while my poor dogs were waiting (with legs crossed) to go outside and do their business. They were patient and ignored my string of not good words said with disgust of the snow and cold.

My iris, daffodils and other spring plants were bending with the snow and I felt so sorry for the fat little robins that had arrived shivering with the cold. Okay, I didn’t see the robins shivering, but I was so everyone had to be cold. It’s the rule here. Mom is cold, everyone is.

Art Prints make a special gift when I want to give them to a person as a “just because” gift. While I was on the site where I’d like to order the cards from, I read about the artist and I think that the creator of these pretties and goodies really is a unique person who can make you happy just by looking at what she creates. I’d love to hang some of her prints in my home!

There is a link also on this site that deals with Business Planning. I’m going to check out all the particulars in more debt to see what it is all about and if this could be of assistance with my small business. It’s always worth the shot checking out various helpful ways of building a business up. In the mean time, I’m going to see what I may want to order. There are some friends birthdays coming up and I have a feeling I can find a great gift for each of them!

In my opinion, I believe that Earth Day should be observed every day, to keep our environment clean, and the animals natural habitats safe. I hope every one does something, no matter how small or large to help save the earth. It may be wishful thinking, but it sure would make a difference.

Her garden plots are not very big and I tend them for her when I go there on the weekends, since she can’t do the bending and lifting like she used to. She always says to just “scatter, scatter the seeds”…no kind of planning to it. Me on the other hand like my flowers to grow according to height so the little short ones can be seen.

All in all I do believe she and I bought at least 40 packets of various flower seeds. Next week I’ll get my veggie seeds for my garden here at home. I’ll start some of them inside so they will be ready to plop in the ground after Mother’s Day. We got great deals on the seeds that we did buy so at least we saved some money for other garden pretties!!

She told me she had found a professional representative named Judith H. Blumeno and even shared the lawyers Attorney Profile, which was rather impressive. I think this lawyer can really help my friend with the troubles her husband is trying to push on her.

I feel a lot better knowing that Lisa has a good lawyer, or at least she is looking and doing her homework on who she would like to represent her and if they can give her the best representation at a reasonable price. It’s hard enough to go through a divorce so one shouldn’t have to be blown away with the cost or have any hidden surprises.

Today I was outside cleaning up the front yard from winter junk, and a lady about ten years younger than me…maybe less, walked buy with a live monkey on her shoulder. The monkey had a diaper on and was so darn cute. She said hello to me and I though she was going to walk right by, but intead she started to introduce her self to me. She told me her name while I was staring at the monkey… I love monkeys. Then the monkey took flying leap and clutched me around my neck and just stayed there sort of hugging me with it’s face in the side of my neck.

To my total surprise, the little monkey climbed up on my shoulder, started making these kissing noises and chattering, then started grooming my hair. She even took my hair pretty out and finger combed about two feet of hair. It was so cool, if truth be known. The owner said her monkey had never done that to anyone else except her and it meant she had accepted me as one of her own. So now a monkey thinks I’m family. It really was a great experience.

There is an art museum exhibit going on that I’d like to see, and I have passes to a hotel room with all the perks. (thanks to a good friend of mine who couldn’t use them).

If the weather is nice I’d like to go to the new farmer’s market in the part of Ohio I will be in. I always love going to the first farmers markets there, because they have all different kinds of seeds and plants to grow once I take them home.

I of course decided to look at the site and also find out what I could about this challenge and what it entailed. Mr. Sykes is a self made millionaire and he mentors people who are interested in investing and trading. I myself find this helpful, since it seems that the challenge is learning how to make a great deal of money in seven days, by following his methods.

I personally have an interest in taking this challenge. I mean, I haven’t anything to loose and it seems like my Aunts are doing well with any of their investments. I also would learn what they have been talking about for years. I have a feeling that something like this would be beneficial to me and my family. The challenge, from the information that I have read helps with finding your own niche in the trading world and also how to make a full or part time living with the help of these videos that were put together for this purpose. I’m up for the adventure!
