Over the last several weeks, Tough Guy and I have seriously considered doing something risky, exciting, scary, adventurous, expensive and challenging...any guesses?
No? So, I'll tell you - we seriously considered buying a business. You can read the next bit while remembering that I wrote this last week and just never got around to pushing the publish button, something held me back...intuition maybe?!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm so excited...Tough Guy and I are - to quote Bruce Springsteen's awesome song..."Working on a Dream" and we are slowly, but surely, ticking off the list of things to accomplish before we can find out if it's really going to be possible.
I can't tell you more right now, but I promise that as soon as I know anything for sure, I'll be posting about it right away...
I'm just all jazzy inside and feel about to pop but I have to keep calm and try to appear sensible.
My thoughts are jumping around a bit as I try to make sense of things...this song lifts us to the possibilities that just might be reachable...with hard work and a good attitude...
Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Now, back to the present day...Sept. 19th.
'P-o-P!' Bubble is burst.
Things have changed.
All that excitement, adrenaline, jazzy feelin'...it's gone, yep, gone...all down the drain.
Why, you ask?
Well, we pulled the plug!
We popped the bubble!!
We've looked in deep detail at the books - we put on our big ol' ugly ol' black glasses that make us feel smarter and we pretended we were wise old owls...
BUT,
The numbers are ugly.
Hate numbers, always have hated numbers...who, who, whoooo likes numbers?
(Remember we were being owls right! - who, whooo! get it?)
So the idea is cancelled. All the work we put towards it...cancelled.
But guess what...that jazzy feeling I had...it's cancelled too! No more rockin' the boat, things can stay stable, just the way we like 'em! C'est la vie, eh?
And the best part is....who, whooo, whooooooo knows what might come along next!
Bummer....
ReplyDeleteThose are some cool photos you put up. Sorry your plans didnt work out but it's nice not having a knot in the stomach. It's the way i felt too when we bought the 480 and then the cows last year...lots of moola.. Get it MOOla. Unfortionatly our cash cows are not so full of cash but expensive to keep. :( But as the farmers all over the world say..next year will be better. :) Yup and our hay sales have helped this year too.
