I did a hard inventory of my personal short-comings yesterday and decided to move my banking and on-line business chores to the first-thing-in-the-morning top of my daily To Do list. All year, I’ve been leaving it to last, because I hate doing that stuff. Then, I was always too tired to concentrate on anything I find so difficult, so kept giving myself yet another day off.
Net result … a $30 bank charge I wouldn’t have incurred if I’d been paying attention and embarrassment at realizing I still had not replaced a necklace I sold out of my on-line store back in July … not because I didn’t have new pieces to post, but because only the making is fun for me.
The whole business thing … I dunno what happened. Maybe I am a throw back to some other generation, because my dad was a terrific salesman and my mom did all the books for his business. She could add figures in her head when the list was facing the wrong way. Me, I need a calculator, a strong cuppa caffeine and a ruler to slide down the list facing the right way. And even then I need to do it three times and get the same answer all three times before I trust the answer.
Dearest has often said, “Artists need managers.” I’ve used that as an excuse for a long time, but my webmaster is a very talented artist and she has made her little business http://www.katiemadeit.com/ not just work, but also grow. I decided for 2012, I’m going to try to be more like her.
So … I bared my soul (and Lil Buzz’s bum ::giggle::). Anyone else up to committing to a resolution? Having partners to keep you honest is supposed to help you succeed at making changes in your habits. 🙂

Did you catch the sneering contempt and accusations of “hypocrisy” coming from the self-righteous Occupiers?
What exactly did they have to be self-righteous about?
They’re so CLUELESS that, in the name of protesting the alleged 1% who supposedly control all the wealth in this country, they chose to harass the very type of small business owner who actually does dominate the economy in this country.
As for hypocrisy … puh-leeze. The owner of the coffee shop said what she wanted and then she acted on it, which is the opposite of hypocrisy.
