ROOOAR!!! Codie no MOOORE!

Hey y'all.

First lemme 'splain why I'm not around much right now. I run a costume shop. It's Halloween season. Nuff said?

Now... may I crow for a moment? This has nothing to do with Dino. While I am a pretty good costumer, I am the world's worst businesswoman. I am forever giving discounts and shorting myself hours and looking the other way when people damage my stuff because I feel so sorry for people/organizations that don't have money. I feel their pain. I am one. And I keep myself that way because I think like that.

Today I sent out a bill where I charged for every single hour I worked and my materials and everything. That may not sound like much, but I think it's an absolute first for me. If you wonder why I'm posting about it here, it's because I really think it's a codie self esteem issue in part. (Am I worth all that?) Today I decided I was and they paid me and didn't blink an eye. I am all agog.

Hey and, on the 27th it will be 3 months with no cigarettes for me.

Yaaaaaaaay ME!
