Excitement!

The Wells Fargo Bank in our little city of 6800 was robbed this morning!

I couldn't get anybody at the bank to talk to me yet. Nobody was hurt thank God.

Finally gonna bite the bullet and hire a part time employee! She starts next Tuesday.

Yeah! it's the weekend!!!

Will New Business Come This Week?

Recovering from having skin cancer removed from my lip last week. Most of the swelling has subsided, but still have 12 stitches running from base of my nose through my lip.

Trying to zero in on my priorities for the week; and intend to make myself and 17 year old daughter, the top items on the list. Shes got prom and graduation coming up (expenses, expenses). I'm staring at a week of deadlines and meetings (with a face full of stitches LOL); at the same time wondering if new business will come in this week.

I remain optimistic.

Trade Marked Names Are No No's

This probably should go without say. Whenever planning to start a new website, make sure the name of your site isn't already trademarked.

http://www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm

The site I created iMompreneurs was infringing upon two different trademarks. Mompreneur and iMom. Though I may have been able to win the arguments, I didn't want the headache.

Needless to say, the name has been changed. The iMompreneur.com is now www.aMomEntrepreneur.com

Getting the Hang of it

Not sure why it seems to be so hard to make regular postings.

Today was our regular Tuesday Rotary Meeting. The guest speaker for the day was from the local community college; a Texas history teacher. This is keeping inline with what the City of Kennedale had going on this weekend celebrating Texas history.

While blogging, what are you supposed to post? Business blogs or personal blogs? Should they be separate or are they the same?

This photograph was taken at the Celebrate Texas parade.

My oldest daughter is having some problems with her back and spine; I hoping nothing too serious.

The Important Thing

Family. The most important thing in my life.

My daughter is painting an oil on canvass of a picture I shot while covering a funeral of a fallen soldier.

She plans to give the painting to the family.

Distractions

I'm so distracted this week; I've got so many projects going on - I'm not really sure where to begin. Kennedale News has to be at the printers by Wednesday (this is Tuesday and I haven't created the file yet), Kennedale Racing needs to be at the printers by next week [not even started on the March edition yet] and my other websites need tending.

On top of that I've a health concern going on; skin cancer (small and treatable) but the medicine omg - has horrible side effects......[If you are a praying person, please add me to your prayer list].

What do you do when you're over extended and needing to focus?

Here's a pic of one of the stories that will run in Kennedale News, this week. It's about a "Donkey Basketball Game" at the jr high. It was hilarious. The people that participated were from city government and the school district.

Canned Food Drive

As publisher of the local newspaper I was invited to take pictures of elementary school kids bringing canned goods up to our church. There are 7 4th grade classes and each class collected over 100 cans. This photo will appear in Kennedale News next week.
