For All You Starbucks Lovers

6 August, 2008 | dcfemella | Comments
I haven’t gone to Starbucks in months cause I make my own coffee, but for those who don’t.
clipped from articles.moneycentral.msn.com
Starbucks (SBUX, news, msgs) is testing several types of promotions in stores across the country, a move it hopes will help counter the decline in domestic store traffic that led to a recent decision to close 600 stores.
The promotions vary by region and timing.
Starbucks would not say how many stores are planning promotions, only that the majority of its more than 11,000 U.S. stores will offer some sort of deal between now and early September.
And elsewhere, the company is selling discounted drinks throughout the day on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

What’s Good In My Life

6 August, 2008 | dcfemella | Comments

I’m reading “The Good Earth” again. The first time I read it, I didn’t pay as much attention as I should have because his voice is kind of easy to get swayed into thinking about other things. I’m listening and reading it now. I found a copy on Scribd, awesome site. Tolle says something that I have been doing. Lately, all I do is talk about what is lacking in my life, but I need to focus on what is already good in it.

 

These are the things that I am happy about:

 

  1. Children
  2. Family
  3. Physical Appearance (for the most part)
  4. Health
  5. Personality
  6. Stable Job
  7. Direction
  8. Home for my children
  9. Almost debt free

 

Think about that. What makes you happy? Forget about what is lacking for once.

Parents Forget Three-Year Old at Airport

4 August, 2008 | dcfemella | Comments

I can’t believe that they forgot their three-year old daughter at the airport. They are lucky that it was a policeman who found her, and not a pedophile. I thought the article was well written, and I like the hint of sarcasm with “they remembered their duty-free shopping and 18 suitcases.” This is Home Alone x 10.

Finding Freedom William-Wallace Style

I’m getting sick of my job. It’s flexible, and I don’t get micromanaged. However, I still feel that I am wasting my time and myself here. Egos run rampant, workaholics reign supreme, and there are kiss-ass whores who get favored (I wonder why). I hope that my business is successful, so I can say peace out to this job. I can’t imagine continuing to bust my ass for someone else to have deep pockets.

In my five-year plan (yes, I actually have one, and so should you), I estimate two years before I am free of ever working for anyone again. I have the stamina, heart, and drive to make my dreams a reality. My only issue is how introverted I have become. I need to join the land of the living because lately I have been a total hermit.

Any tips are more than welcome!
