Sheesh, so this is what preschool is all about: getting your parents sick, over and over again.

While Toby can apparently beat off his microbial attackers with relative ease, Dad is getting his ass handed to him.

Again.

It may slow me in my progress towards my latest goal temporarily. But for now, well, I think it’s time to get a little sleep!

Thoughts on Turning Thirty-Eight

Random Thoughts

Saturday the 18th pushed me into a new year, and you know what? I still don’t feel old. Unless I admit I’m 38 out loud to someone, which somehow sound old.

Old just keeps moving further into the future the closer you get to it… ;)

Grand Discoveries?

So, how about any grand discoveries upon turning this ripe old age? Hmmm…

  • More wisdom is learned from failure than success, so don’t be afraid to make more mistakes. Successes will come along for the ride.
  • Never forget what is most important. If you are not sure what that is, finding out is what is important.
  • The past is unchangeable. The future is not.
  • See the world through the eyes of a child. It is amazing what we take for granted.
  • A good book beats a great TV show. Every time.
  • Wasted money can be replaced. Wasted time cannot.
  • The trip is often more important than the destination.

Sleeping Through Thanksgiving

Adwords, Campaign Blasts, Goals, Internet Marketing, PPC, Productivity

So I’m hard at it trying to throw together a fairly ridiculous number of campaigns in the latest challenge put forth at the campaign blast membership site. I decided to stretch myself quite a bit, because all of a sudden I’m seeing some real progress. Total ad spend is rapidly taking off, as are earnings right along with it.

Never underestimate having a goal. I really am having a blast!

We are a fifth of the way through and are due to end the challenge a week before Thanksgiving. And all I can say is, if I can reach this goal I set for myself, the mass quantity of turkey and stuffing consumed isn’t going to be the only reason I’m sleeping all day… ;)
