Dreaming

I came upon this great article on 'How to turn your passions into a home business', it's nice to dream, isn't it? For many of us, it's not a practical thing to do and it entails a lot of hard work to set up and run any successful business.  It can be a great alternative if you are not quite ready to retire or would like to work from home.

We had a snowstorm yesterday.  Luckily our snowblower was working as the snow was wet and heavy.  I did about an hour of manual shovelling myself, just for the exercise.  K had a snow day, and stayed home.

Look at this small size can of coke that they are now making.  This man at the grocery store was not impressed, he thought it was taking 'cutting back' a bit too far!  I think it's a nice alternative, sometimes you don't feel like drinking a whole can.  I know the standard size cans can vary worldwide.

  1. Hmmmm.... I have some Diet Coke in my fridge. I wonder how it would compare with yours. The ones in Japan were real tiny.

    I hope the snow isn't too heavy by you. I know Illinois is getting hit tonight.

  3. Sorry about the snow, sounds cold! No snow here, and a little warmer - about 0° just now, but no spring yet! Valerie

  4. Not too bad in Hamilton at all compared to Mississauga & Oakville... Tonight I hear it will be very cold. I would love to work out of my home, but become less productive when I isolate myself too much. I'm thinking about down-sizing my work to part-time retail, though, more excersise, less insanity.

  6. Owning a small business has its rewards, especially in cutting taxes by declaring business expenses. I still enjoy mine. As for the smaller can of coke, I probably would not buy it as I need a full can to quench my thirst. Lol.
