&lt;li&gt;The interview went great
&lt;li&gt;I think they want to hire me for the position
&lt;li&gt;It's more money than what I'm making
&lt;li&gt;I'd be my own manager
&lt;li&gt;I'd have my own office
&lt;li&gt;I'd be able to make my own schedule
&lt;li&gt;It's a high demand 24/7 job&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem?
&lt;p&gt;Me... I don't think I'm taking the job.

I'm not sure how I feel about it except for being nervous. I want it to be better than what I have but the location is inconvenient for me. It all depends what they put on the table for me I guess. Cross your fingers, toes, and whisper a little prayer for me that if nothing else that I don't have to suffer through a torturous interview. Thanks!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Nervously yours,&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Carrie Quote of the Day:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Carrie: If you can only have one great love, then the city just may be mine. And I don’t want nobody talkin’ sh** about my boyfriend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;As you all know I’m working hard to get &lt;i&gt;Chick’s Creations&lt;/i&gt; up and running. So far, I have a few things up my sleeve that I’m trying to develop. I’ve been networking and placing free advertisements online and had a wedding consultant contact me and asked me to partner up with her to be one of her vendors. I’m &lt;i&gt;extremely &lt;/i&gt;excited over the idea of working with this person and her clients. I just hope we can work together and help each other out. We are talking on the phone next week to discuss the details. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;Also, once I told My Prince about this he thought it was great and offered to build me a temporary website! He doesn’t know a lot about building websites but he figured if I could get a basic lay out for it that he’d host it for me and once I started making some more money that he’d have his co-worker build something better. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;Plus, a girlfriend from college e-mailed me and told me that she was trying to start up her own dog/cat sitting business and asked if I knew anyone. I e-mailed her back and told her that I would pass out business cards/fliers for her if she’d pass some out for me in her area. She was thrilled over the idea and so am I!&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;My cousin also passed on the word about &lt;i&gt;Chick’s Creations&lt;/i&gt; to her brother who is getting married in June 2007 and his bride to be asked to see some of my work. Instead of just sending crappy pictures (which is all I have right now) I asked her if she’d be willing to pay for a sample bouquet. She thought that was a wonderful idea so I’ll be sending that out to her next week. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;On top of all of that I was talking to another friend of mine who told me about this website where they sell flowers, ribbons, craft stuff, etc. at a discount price where a lot of the big named craft stores in my area buy their supplies. I looked it up and got an account and am now getting the same stuff that I would from the stores at a discounted rate. From this same friend I got a few copies of order forms and packages to help me create my own materials for sales (which I’ve just completed).&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;Needless to say I’m very happy about &lt;i&gt;Chick’s Creations&lt;/i&gt; name getting around. Hopefully I can make it into something really special.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" size=3&gt;Have a great weekend and enjoy the holiday to those who have off Monday!&lt;/font&gt;
