All ok with the lady parts!

first vet Dr. G! All good , they both weigh 12 lbs (Dexter weighs one ounce
more than D.J)
Movies
We went and saw 100 foot journey.
I’d rate it a 3 out of 5.
Moving
My nephew Max moved to Colorado to
start law school.
We helped our friends Barbie and
Susan move across town.
Repairs
The start of the month we had our
second window stop working in the SUV. It is the motor or something that works
the electric windows. And now this week our third one is broken! They run about
$300-350 a pop! Yikes! L
We are at almost 100,000 miles…time for a new car!
Online Business
I’ve sent in five boxes to Amazon
since the beginning of the month. I had sort of slacked off on Amazon and
focused more on Ebay but I am getting back in the groove now.
This month I’ve sold Shampoo,
cupcake liners,toys, dog supplies, juice, games, ties, stuffed animals, clothes
and my biggest sale a statue for $209.37! , biggest lesson learned was losing
money on the stuffed animal..didn’t charge shipping and didn’t price it high
enough to cover my costs.
I set a goal to do 25% more in
sales than I did last month, it’s only the 19th today and I’ve
already beat that! Go Me! We are not
talking huge money. Last month combined Ebay and Amazon was only a little over
$300, this month so far we are at a little over $500! I’m still working full
time at our Venice Office and one day a week at our Siesta Key office so I’m
pretty impressed that I’ve done this much part time.
Health/Fitness
I’m walking with some friends
after work today. They have just set up a group , walking Tuesdays and Sundays.
I’m hoping that I stick with it but I know my track record! The scale is not moving much. I’m stuck
around 210 and really, really, really need to get my butt in gear and
eat/exercise like I know I should.
Goals for September
Lose 5 lbs
Increase online sales at least 25%
from this month
Get more organized
List the rest of the ties I have
Send in at least 6 boxes to Amazon
Make more time for friends
Keep Walking! At least once a week

Thank you for helping us move! It was the fun-nest move I've ever had. :)
PLEASE keep coming to the walks! I need you! And it's all about you,don't you know? :)
I hope I see you Sunday.
Thanks Barbie! The move was fun! More like socializing than work. :)
I am really trying to get my mind set on walking twice a week, It really made it bearable to have walking buddies.
