One of the things that makes me a bit crazy about running an online business is that I have zero idea what peoples faces look like when they land on my website. It’s NOTHING like being in a room with real live people & read their body language.

Do you ever have a completely weird day & you could choose to completely break down and cry. Or you could laugh? Laugh until your cheeks hurt? Today was one of those days!

Some people use backup services on their computer, like Mozy or Carbonlite. I stopped using both when I purchased my 2nd last laptop in 2010. I found a system that works better for me.
