I saw another post on this and it has been a thought that weighs heavy on my mind. That is a huge decision and not to be taken lightly. I Find myself wondering would someone move for me? Would i move for them? I do have heavy family ties in my area. Also have a business and a home. I realize i can move my business and get a new home but not sure i could afford it. I am sure on the other side they wonder the same. thing. This online dating thing takes time and i am not one to rush into a decision like that. However its something that needs to be addressed. I realize there are people on here who are pushing for a relationship just to better their situation and get out of where they are. I haven't really responded to these. i am not how it sits with me morally.I remember my grandfather telling me to marry for money and work on love. he was kind of a d**k. I have been alone now for going on 3 years. As anyone will tell you loneliness sucks. I know find myself wondering to what lengths i will go to have someone there. Even if it isn't love, something is better than nothing.
So today started off pretty good. I was working my part time job as usual. My business partner called and left me a message. I got it on my lunch break. Someone broke into our store and took all the money. Since we just moved all of our security features were not back up yet. I don't know how much money they took. I don't know how much stuff they took. kinda stressing a bit right now. Talked to the police. posted on facebook and offered a reward. I think people assume since we are a business we must have a ton of money. Since the move and starting over we are basically a new start up. I think we had like $1,200 when we started this. I was not prepared to take this massive hit. I could really use a distraction right now. Its hard not to be angry. Its tough to focus. I have to stay open though to recover the loss. Ugh
Well its day one after our store was jacked. Still tough to focus but i have to push myself or we wont recover. Taking pictures and listing a bunch of stuff on our auction site. Having very mixed feelings about this week. There is a local celebration this week for the college. We have been waiting for this for some time. However mother nature will be throwing a wrench in our plans. The day of the parade the high is supposed to be 45*F and snow. Awesome!! Maybe i will get lucky and meet someone interesting to occupy my time. No worries though i will never loose hope
45 minutes to go and I am free for the weekend. Going to chow down on some all you can eat shrimp. This weekend Going to work on sorting out boxes of the things i have accumulated over the years. Have to make some room in the garage to pull in the ole mustang so it will be ready to tear into next month. Going to prepare for an intense week of online sales. Also have to get a donation pile started and inventoried. Debating on buying a bottle or two of some top shelf. I love good whiskey and tuaca and i haven't treated myself in a long time. Stopped by a car auction today to view the things they will sell tomorrow. They have a 1936 ford pickup. It needs some serious love but its a diamond in the rough. I think i have to pass though and work on one car at a time. Still looking for a motor for the mustang. I sure do miss driving it
I figured it was time for a new post. i haven't done one in a few days. Sooo... whats the topic. I recently met an older gentle me who is self proclaimed to teach "kung fu". This is something i was always interested in growing up but never attempted to learn. Also for similar reasons as joining the military. I found that whatever hobbies or things i am interested in I am extremely passionate about. I have always been a non violent person and wouldn't allow myself to go down another path that might lead to that. To clarify, i would have no problems defending myself but am not an aggressor. Back to the main point at hand. I spoke with this gentleman within the last 3 weeks and it seemed he was offering to teach me. I have been very tempted but i did decline. I know that kung fu is not about violence. I just think it is better to keep the possibility off the table. I am curious to know if others don't do things for similar reasons.
What do, what to do. Its friday night. i am working the store for another hour . Not sure what to do after close. Staying in for another friday and watching tv doesnt sound like fun. I do have to work tomorrow but not until late. Most of the friends are busy.... Maybe go to a movie.. not a big drinker by myself....
I can't believe its thursday night already. working on some ebay things for the store. It always makes me smile when i ship things overseas. For some reason the world doesn't seem so big. Almost like hey lets go drop the boat in and run to italy for some good food. Then i have to face the reality the ocean would swallow our little pond jumper and not leave so much a an extra ripple in the water. Listening to clapton sing wonderful tonight. Its a good day. The DHL driver showed up with a late delivery. I have been expecting this package for 2 weeks. happy it is finally here. Craving calamari and gyro. I wonder what tomorrow will bring [img
I buy a lot of jewelry for the store and my personal retirement plans. As i posted before the other day a lady brought me in a bunch of jewelry. 99% was costume. i found 3 pieces of .925 silver that the value added up about $7 bucks.She bought it to me for an appraisal with the option to buy. i usually buy a box full of costume for $20. She said that was the figure she had in mind too. After purchasing i put the box away to go through later. My dad stopped by last night and i had to show him my find.we started digging into the box again. I forgot to look at the watches that were in there. knowing the jewelry was mostly costume i passed them up. Upon looking at them i found 5 or so antique ones. One was a bulova. Another was a 14kt gold Hamilton that still works. I have a conscience that it really bothers me when i error like this. I have 3 of the watches running on ebay right now. as soon as it sells and i collect the money i am calling the lady up to pay her a fare share. People like that i am so honest. I like that they keep bringing me things because of it. My checkbook doesn't lol but money is really nothing in the spectrum of things.
There is an extremely cute woman who comes into my store from time to time. She has taste and is classy. She doesn't wear a ring. She does appear to be younger than i am.(I usually prefer older women.) We talk about things in the store and how she is decorating her house. No flirting. She hasn't made mention of her personal life yet. I am a working professional and maintain a composure. Being a store owner in a small town i find myself in a big dilemma. I cant ask her out. She is a steady off and on customer. If she said yes that's all fine and dandy. On the flip side it could create awkwardness, loose her as a customer. People do talk so it would cost me further business. I think its best i let this run a course and see where it goes rather than jeopardize everything. Tough call. Patience
I am happy my biz partner is back from vacation. We are getting things organized around the store. A lady stopped in with a good size box of costume jewelry and a couple pieces of sterling. I am so tired and wore out. Trying to stay off the caffeine, running on 3-4 hours of zzz...Found the missing digital camera. I was sweating bullets. it was expensive and haven't been able to eBay in a week. Munching on some amazing salsa Verde that my family makes. Just got done speaking with the police. Apparently there was a robbery and they wanted to see if anyone had brought anything into the store. Been trying to think of a pitch for the families salsa. We well it at the store. There is a pizza place across the street that i think could make it an epic success. My wholesale order came in today. It was messed up i ordered phone cases and got light bulbs. :/
but this makes me smile
Winding down the day. Pretty dead in the store. Fighting boredom and pushing off the work. Lazy Monday. Craving espresso. Spending too much time surfing the net to find the next big product to sell. Avoiding anything miley sirus (or however you spell it), at all cost. Its crazy how much attention people are giving her for her "video's". Negative re-enforcement. I am still proud to say i have not watched them. well off to pick up a pizza and think of better blog content, lol.
It maybe a little juvenile but some friends used to imagine how it all will end. Zombie apocalypse, nuclear war, george bush, etc, etc. It was all for a laugh and just to pass time. Im not an end of the world nut or anything like that. Watching the news i hear this syria threat could really turn nuclear. There is radio active water leaking in japan. So How do you think it will end? Zombie Apocalypse always had my vote. Mainly because it was impossible and just got some good laughs. Newest theory is....it wont. life will continue on. But if faced will your demise i think its better to go out happy and with a laugh. Nuclear Chocolate Cake... yup thats it lol
