The update that never came...

Sorry, I never did update during Thanksgiving. This was mainly because I ended up getting very busy. I got back later than I had expected from Mud Bogging (that was alot of fun by the way). I rushed to get started cooking the steaks, crab legs, and jumbo shrimp. Dinner was good over all. Carmen, made plenty of appetizers, and great sides like stuffed mushrooms, mash potatoes. The steaks ended up being pretty good, the crab legs were also very good. However, the could have been much better. I attempted to grill them but they were not cooked very even at all. I had way to much stuff on the grill and I had really tried to rush the shrimp. That was my mistake.

Later in the evening Carmen's managers and their spouses came over. We ate again, smoked a few cigars, and had a bonfire. It was the end to a great day! I hoped you had as great of a Thanksgiving as I did.

Happy Holidays,

Play by play of Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving,

So this am, I woke up at 5:15 am and looked outside to see about an inch of snow. I had heard we were suppose to get snow but it wasn't suppose to stick. My hope is that it all melts away quickly. I hate the snow. Last night after I finished a company conference call I went to Walmart and bought the stuff to make a cheese ball, then I came home to make that. My girlfriend Carmen, made a cheese ball as well; she uses a different recipe and although hers is good mine is definitely better. I added some Cayenne Pepper and Tabasco to mine to spice things up a bit. Then before going to bed I took the King Crab Legs and Jumbo Shrimp out of the freezer to start unthawing (we are going non traditional this year). I got up early because I was invited out by a friend Adam Oswald to go mud bogging early this morning.

Now, I have never heard of mud bogging on Thanksgiving morning but, Adam has a huge 4 wheel drive truck that is so big it's illegal to drive on the road so he has a trailer that he loads it on and drives it to where he goes offroading. It looks a little odd to see that big truck getting pulled on a trailer that looks to small to be carrying it. That big truck looks like it will be a lot of fun and hopefully it's to big to get stuck. Now coming from a farm, I realize that literally anything can get stuck but I am hoping I don't have to get too muddy on this freaking cold Thanksgiving morning... I will post again in a few hours.

All the best,

What an amazing meal

Carmen and I, went out to eat with another couple last night. We went out of town to Troy Michigan and ate at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. This was my very first time at a Ruth's Chris. Let me just tell you, if you have one near you then you much check it out. Last night I got the ribeye cooked Medium. It was cooked at 500 degrees and was perfect with a warm pink center. A dollop of butter was added to the top of the steak just before it was brought out of the kitchen, which created a sizzling butter sauce when it came to the table. When I took my first bite, I knew that the waiter was right when he said this was the top 2% aged prime Midwestern beef that simply melts in your mouth when coming in contact with your tongue. It was simply the best steak I have ever had.

The service at this restaurant was fantastic. Our waiter was courteous and polite his mannerisms were impeccable. His suggestions for the meal were exact. He suggested the calamari flash fried with red bell pepper for an appetizer and that we should share that among 2 or 3 of us. When I put that Calamari in my mouth before getting to the steak, I would have thought that would have been the highlight of my meal. It was succulent and delicious.

For our A La Carte sides we had baked potatoes (loaded) and broccoli au gratin. It was a huge one pound potato that was cooked just right and even all the way through. If I hadn't been, full I could have ate every piece of that potato including the skin. The broccoli au gratin, although very tasty in a garlic cream butter sauce and covered in cheese was probably my least favorite part of the meal. I would have loved to finished the meal off with a good coffee and a great cigar. Unfortunately, it was getting late and I did not know if I could make room for coffee. So we headed home.

A great time was had by all,

So much has happened since my last blog post

Carmen and I have celebrated our 6th anniversary as a couple, I love you baby. I have started playing poker pretty serious online, more about that in another post. Also we just had our 3rd ever Blitz with Decide Freedom International (DFI).

Decide Freedom International, is growing so fast and feel honored to be working from home with such a group of people. This past weekend we were at First Steps to Success with Dani Johnson. This was one of her best events ever. Dani was really on her game.

I have some new plans for working from home. I am going to do something that I have not done successfully so far in my home based business. I am going to start working on a very specific routine. I am going to wake up at 7:30 am and start working no later than 9 am EST. I am going to have a goal of making a min of 50 dials by 12 noon. Then have a daily goal of 80 dials a day. I am looking to cut back my hours but have a focused plan of action each day.

I will keep you posted,
