A New President & More

I have not posted in SO long but again, I have my reasons.  Things have been really busy here with the house and all.

I ripped out our upstairs bathroom one day because it was really ugly.  We were going to hire somebody to put wall tile into the bathtub/shower area but I decided to learn to do it myself.  I replaced all of the drywall, added new copper piping for the faucets and installed all new tile.  I got a lot of advice from my dad on how to do it and it came out looking GREAT.

The next step is to tile the flooring on the upstairs bathroom which will be much easier than the wall was.  After that, a new vanity and sink and then we are going to remodel the guest bathroom and the kitchen and THEN put a new fence in around the house. SO I have been too busy to post.

I have been having great record months with my PPC campaigns. It is funny that there is a recession going on with our economy but I am still able to make money.  Aside from my Copeac referral commissions I have been experimenting with other niches and have stepped aside from the myspace PPC for a little bit until they get themselves out of the horrible beta.

Jon and I are flying back to RI in a week and a half and I am very excited, I miss all of my friends and my family and it will be a nice breather for a week.  Ami will be staying here with the dog and 4 cats.. yes we got 2 new kittens because some stray cat gave birth in our back yard!  I named them FiddleStix and FuzzBall. I will post photos when I have time.

We are also looking forward to flying to Vegas for Affiliate Summit West convention.  I had to cut ASE in Boston short because Jon and I had to move out here to MO.  I have never been to Vegas but I am more excited about making some connections and seeing how all of my fellow friends in the industry are doing.  Jon still has much to learn about what it is that I do but he has been such a great help and has some ideas that help me thing outside the box.

We registered our first LLC, called Hot Bod .. Yes Hot Bod. Haha.  This is separate from my affiliate marketing business, but we are planning on opening a tanning salon here in University City, right on the Delmar Loop, massive spot.  We plan on opening it up, getting it off the ground, advertising it and then expanding.  It will give me a chance to work from somewhere outside of my house and the business will pretty much run itself. Ami will be doing most of the managing of it full time and now we just need to plan it all out… After that we have ideas for 2 other businesses in the area.  It feels good to have so much ambition and drive AND it will give me something to do when Jon goes back to school.

ANYWAY, I am so happy that President Barack Obama  has won.  It has restored my faith in this country.  I know that I have not always liked him but once I saw him speak and gave him a chance, it reassured me. I have never seen so many people come together in my life and it was worth waiting 3 hours to vote.. Plus Ami, Jon & I got on NBC news when we were waiting in line because Governor Jay Nixon came to shake our hands. Was pretty awesome!!

I will write again soon and post some photos once I have time to sit down. Happy Holiday’s everyone!
