I signed onto my MySpace account earlier today. I very rarely go on MySpace anymore, and for some reason I decided to look through old pictures (will leave some at the bottom of this post). It was fun to go through and reminisce, and now I’m really looking forward to visiting home for a few days.
It also makes me happy to have a blog… one day I’ll come back, read all this stuff and feel nostalgic. :)
Annnyway, here’s some news:
1. I’m famous! And I love Andrew Wee. Find out why and how here.
(Bonus: You get to listen to a 25 year old who sounds like she’s 7! Rock on!)
2. I made some February financial goals. Actually, they were due February 26, which is the day this post will come out… so maybe I’ll meet them by then.
One of the goals was to have all of my credit card debt paid off, and the other was to be making a certain amount of PASSIVE income per month.
Annnnyway, as of right now (a few days before the 26th), I’ve officially paid off 5 of my 6 credit cards. I’ve been cutting them up one at a time, with no intentions of using them again (minus a random charge here and there that I’ll pay off immediately just to keep them active). It’s SUCH a liberating feeling. :)
As far as passive income – I haven’t met the goal just yet, but I had a fantastic idea yesterday morning (if I do say so myself :)). I emailed a really awesome guy and fast implementer, and we should have the groundwork laid out and orders in by the time this post comes out. I can’t see how I wouldn’t be able to reach my goals after this… and I’m SO looking forward to it. :)
3. I drove to Vegas this weekend to meet up with a potential project partner for yayFOOD, Steve Clayton. It was a great experience. First of all, he’s just an awesome guy. I had a really fun time talking to him. He used to be a Vice President for a Fortune 500 company, and then decided to quit the corporate world and get into Internet Marketing. It was very interesting to talk to someone with such success in the offline world, and to see how he applies some of his corporate training principles to online.
More important than that though, he’s so fun! He ended up taking Jaime and I to Nine at The Palms for dinner, where we had the most delicious food ever. I seriously didn’t think I was going to eat for days after that meal…
And lastly, we came up with some AMAZING ideas for yayFOOD. That site is going to be ri-di-cu-lous.
I guess that’s it for now. It’s 3:44 in the morning and I still have a few things on my to-do list before I go to bed. I’ll leave you with some of those old pictures. :)
Jen and I on our “hick” road trip to Memphis…
A picture Nathan Gilder made last year when someone said I reminded them of Yoda…
My first job, back when I was 16 (pre-yayFOOD :))…
When I first met my good friend Alison :)
Being silly on another road trip with Jen and Alison…
My prom Halloween costume 2 years ago (worked out much better than this year’s costume – a tree)
hey Rach,
now you’ve got the motivation to pump out those posts!
Thank you very much! :)
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.
