November 2011 Entries

I should have wrote about this a long time ago, but better late than never. I started a little online business and it's called Ridin' Shades. I sell sunglasses and accessories. They're pretty cool, tailored mostly toward bikers but really anyone can wear them. Most of the sunglasses are uni-sex but I also have some women's styles.

I built the site because I wanted to do an ecommerce web site. I think it turned out ok. I did the design myself which is a miracle actually, but I think it looks ok.

Business is, how should I say it, less than booming. But, I really didn't think I would get rich off of this. I would like however to have a sale from someone I don't know! It's only been about five months. I guess we'll see. I need to do some marketing!

You can find us at www.ridinshades.com. We're also on facebook and twitter. You should check us out!

I'm gonna lose some weight. I have to lose some weight. The ultimate goal is 30 pounds. Well, actually 31 pounds. I want to hit 185 by Kari's wedding. That's May 19th 2012. That's185 days. The first intermediate goal is to be at or below 200 pounds by the first of the year. I'm currently at 216 so losing 16 pounds in 6 weeks shouldn't be too hard. As long as I stick with it.

I'm going to use portion control and do some exercises in order to do this. Not sure what exercises yet but I'll figure that out.

So here we go...
