JAN’S IDEAS for Internet Entrepreneurs

HAPPY EASTER to Internet entrepreneurs everywhere! My son, Bob Schmuck came in town with his dad to celebrate Easter here with us. We enjoyed ham, potatoes, rolls, and mixed (cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots) vegetables with pie (chocolate and banana cream) for dessert. There were Easter baskets, candy, and new plants. It was a fun afternoon.

Easter is a time of new beginnings and hope it is for me, also. It has been hard to get motivated to write and when I was motivated, I felt too tired and kept falling asleep when I got home from work.

The past few days I have had my energy return slightly only to have computer problems! I believe they are remedied for now, but have everything backed up, just in case…….I’m now newly motivated to stay on top of backing up!

I celebrated my 49th birthday on April 2nd. I’m determined to make the most of the last year of my 40’s! Look out 50…..here I come

Sadly with my computer problems, I lost most of my pictures. I had a couple on Facebook that I was able to save to my computer. Here I am with my cake and planting some of my new plants and my dog.

My daughter found a “4″ but couldn’t find a “9″ so she just added 9 candles….thank goodness for creativity and there was no need for a fire extinguisher. There were two cakes, because I couldn’t decide on chocolate fudge or grasshopper (mint with chocolate).  I had to work at my wage earning job, so we celebrated before I left for work with cake and an early lunch. My 11 year old daughter made some very good honey mustard chicken for me. I got some plants for my yard, that I planted my next day off.

With my recent lack of energy, one of my goals for this next year is that I’m going to try to eat better and cut back on the sweets. I also want to have our first family reunion next year around my 50th birthday.

My youngest daughter thinks my dog and I look alike with the fluffy hair and constant smiling….in this picture I think we even have the same tilt to our heads!

Through Jan’s Group Home Support I was made aware of a project called Ruby’s Bequest. I have a post about it on my group home support site.

As an internet entreprenuer the site is worth checking into because of the creativeness in design and in the idea. It is also a great example of people coming together to problem solve and to show caring. As a writer for internet websites and blogs, it was an opportunity to balance my paid writing, writing for myself, and writing freely for a good cause. My stories can be read here on Ruby’s Bequest. I am simply “Jan”, just like I am elsewhere.

There is still a little time to contribute to Ruby’s Bequest if you want. The project ends in a few days on April 10, 2009 (2016 in the Deepwell timeline).
