How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I started by writing on a forum and people liked it so I kept it up. Eventually putting it in book form. The worst was the ending/finishing. And then I edited it myself. Again, torturous. I used lulu.com for printing/publishing. I understand why people have editors. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/partners/18928667 http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/partners/18928748 Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: My ultimate goal is that first $100,000. The saying "The first $100,000 is the hardest" is true. So I am breaking my goals down. This was the first $5,000. Next goal will be $10,000.

It’s worse. I borrowed against the truck to buy a trailer. I purchased a new car. :( So truck is at $4700 and car is $19K. Share loans aren’t bad, I’m at $1682, and $300 of that will be gone by end of month. Still, the vehicle debt is hard. They are both paid ahead currently and will remain so until after baby comes. At least I’m thinking somewhat smartly there.
I tried Norm’s veal marsala the other night. It was ok. Texture almost of chicken. Can’t say I hated it or loved it.
