Day Nine: Piercings and Tattoos

I have my ears pierced once and that’s it folks!

When I turned 40 I wanted to mark the occasion with a tattoo, BUT I couldn’t figure out what to get so the idea sat on the back burner for years. I may revisit again someday. Perhaps when I turn 80???

Day Five: My Guilty Pleasure

Although I haven’t turned the tv on in days, (I go in spurts) one of my guilty pleasures is watching E! News. Yes, I said it. I tune in to see who’s fighting who, who’s pregnant, and what did the royals do today. Oh well, we all need some sort of escape from all the craziness in the world. Right?

Day Four: EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY

This might gross you out a bit so brace yourself. Truth be told my earliest childhood memory is when my Grandpa Mike Schulting use to make us (my brother, sister, and myself) sugar sandwiches. Seriously, he took a slice of bread, covered it with butter, and then added sugar. We LOVED them!

Day Three: Meaning Of My Business Name

This is a good story. Kinda funny but good.

First, if you’re new here read a little bit more about what this blog is about here.

I’ve never shared the meaning behind my business name before so I was happy to see this as one of the challenge days. When the idea first came about to start a blog I spent weeks trying to decide on a name for it. Seriously, WEEKS! How about this? No wait how about this? But what about this? See where this is going? As I was expressing my frustration to my boyfriend on what to name my blog I remember saying, “I’ve got eightymillion ideas and nothing sounds right!” Then the light bulb came on, I’ll name my blog eightymillion! And just like that a new baby was born.

If you know me personally then you’ve probably heard me use this word in everyday conversation.

*Like….there were eightymillion people in Target and it took me forever to get what I needed…

*Traffic sucked, there was at least eightymillion cars ahead of me moving as slow as turtles…

*I’ve got eightymillion things to do today…

Get what I mean?

So, it’s just a word I use ALL the time. A word that turned into a name, a brand, and now a business.

And that’s my story.

Considering the fact that I have been battling a nasty headache all day I’m quite proud that I was able to get this post up. I guess it shows my dedication to this challenge.
