Quick! Get the tweezers!

Day 11:

You’re right. I skipped Day 10. I was lazy. We got rained out.

Thunder + lightening + metal binder = no selling.

And I had no desire to write anything about anything. So I didn’t. My apologies.

But today was a new day.

It rained in the morning, but was sunny the rest of the day. I was feeling super unmotivated. Probably because we’ve been rained out the past few days it seems like, and because I felt tired. So….time to regroup. I thought I would share what motivates me to get out there and knock on door after door.

My Motivation:

1. Husband

2. Treats (root beer floats, Frosties, fruit snacks)

3. Paying back student loans

4. Saving money for a house

5. More treats

6. Money for a car

7. Earning time and money for triathlon races and for other things that I might want to do

I’ve made a Dream Board for myself. I add pictures from magazines when I find something else that motivates me. I think I will print out a picture of a house that I like. I tried to draw a blueprint for a house. I just ended up drawing a rectangle with a sharpie, then thought about the house for 15 minutes or so. Turns out I’m not very good at making blueprints. I decided I would rather buy someone else’s blueprint that I like and make any changes to customize it. I should look into that process.

What do you work for? What motivates you to work hard?

Also, just wanted to say; I knocked into this home whose yard had the largest bark chips I have ever seen. You know how they’re usually 2 inches by 1 inch? Just covering the flower beds nicely? Well, these were huge bark pieces from a tree, no, several trees. Think…the size of a shoe. A basketball player’s shoe. It’s like a large tree was cut into twenty pieces and laid on the flower beds. Just scattered about, every which way. I can only imagine getting a splinter from those. Ouch.

One man had a 6 point elk hanging in his front room. I guess that's what they call it when there are 6 points on each horn. Imagine something like this, but mounted, of course.
