    Business plans keeping you up at night?
    A buddy suggested I use my sleepless nights to start an online business.  He rationalized that if I used all of my insomniac hours to turn a profit, I could probably quit my job and start sleeping during the day!  I'm afraid there's something to his logic, and I decided to start investigating online business opportunities.  

    One recommendation I've received and intend to follow is to use a merchant service specialist to process credit cards for my fantasy business.  I need a reliable payment processing company and one with excellent customer service since most of my transactions will be occuring at night.    Now I just need to learn more about web design and marketing so that I can really get started!

    One more reason for insomnia
    We just moved into a new home, and I am surrounded by the boxes, bags, and various other sundry items that were delivered -- and mostly put in place -- by our moving company.  They did a good job, don't get me wrong.  Nothing was broken, the movers were friendly and helpful, and they were even happy to help position our big things, like the sectional sofa, and my teak office desk.  A+ work, for sure.  

    Unfortunately, this just doesn't feel like home yet.  My wife still needs to finish unpacking the boxes of hers that were so carefully piled by our movers in the kitchen, dining room, and bedroom, and I am surrounded in my office by box after box of supplies.  I don't know where to start, and I don't want to just pick a box and start digging since I don't want to have to redo everything once it's done.  

    Stupid things are keeping me up at night, like trying to figure out the best wall for the golf picture my dad gave me, or the perfect spot for the computer tower.  I know it doesn't matter but I must be a bit OCD because I sure can't get myself to stop thinking about all this nonsense.  Of course, my wife lays there snoring every night and my kids are sound asleep in their totally messy rooms, not concerned at all where their toys are or where they might end up placing their Barbie dolls.  I am so ridiculous.  

    All I know is once we get settled, there will be no more relocation for this family.  I'll happily die in this house.
