If life hands you a bushel of lemons...

Go make yourself some lemonade, God damn it.

I didn't get great news last night; the business venture has been put on hold yet again....
I know that everything happens for a reason, but when you're this close, it hurts.
And, it's frustrating. The whole reason why I wanted to do a startup was because the business that was this close -- fell through last year (same time last year, interestingly enough).

Truthfully, it was a very expensive startup; had the location been a different one, the cost would have been lower, less buildout expenses – and I would be a very happy girl this morning.
Instead, here I sit disappointed – and drinking a cup of lemonade that I wished had just a bit more sugar in it….

So where to go from here? Well, I’ve got my back up plan – which isn’t what I wanted, but still at the same time, it’s better than not having a plan at all.

And now to think of the future.

I will have my business. It will just take some time in finding a spot that needs less work – or possibly even revisiting buying an existing shop in the right location.

Plus there are other things that I love. I’m not seeing any rules in the WEEI sports blogger contest that prohibits multiple submissions, so I’ll enter a few more times and see what happens. My original goal in life was sportscasting, and we all know I’ve always not-so-secretly wanted to get into the broadcasting medium – radio or television – so who knows.

I may not be happy where I am careerwise today – but it’s not for a lack of trying.
And I’m not about to give up either.
