Weekend's too short!

Weekends are too darn short. I found some really great things yesterday. I visited Flea and Scrap in Portland. The lady at Flea was willing to negotiate. Scrap had some really cool junk. All the stuff is apparently donated for recycling. Lovely!

I got to spend some time with my daughter this weekend. Here is a picture of the two of us. I cannot believe what a beautiful young woman my daughter has become! Isn't she pretty?

Business Op

I have been pondering and pondering how to escape the corporate life. I just can't seem to figure out how to replace my income and still live the lifestyle I currently enjoy. I guess it takes a lot of sacrificing and the ability to see the delayed gratification down the road.
I had previously mentioned my dream to a lady I work with. She has come up with a really great business idea and thought it may be something I'd also be interested in. I was so flattered and excited. I won't give away the premise but it sounds like something we could do that would require a low start up investment and could possibly grow into something much larger. At the least, she said perhaps she could help me market some of my artwork!
I have been toying with the idea of joining a Ladies who Launch group called an incubator. Is anyone familiar with them? Has your experience been positive and influential on your success?
