A small sigh of relief

So I'm going to start up a new home biz by the end of this week. I've decided to become a consultant for The Traveling Vineyard. It's kind of like Tupperware, Mary Kay or The Pampered Chef, except for wine. However, I won't exactly be selling the wine, just marketing it and allowing people to sample them before they buy them. Once I'm all set up, I'll provide a link to my website.

I went to a tasting a couple of years ago and it was a lot of fun. I learned alot about how to tell a good wine, what to look for, and how to better match wine with certain foods/meals. I love to do work that will allow me to learn more of something, too. My DH is very excited about it.

I'm excited about it --- and the extra money it will bring in. Not to mention I'll be able to write off most of my gas, phone, internet, postage, etc. expenses again. That will be huge come next April. And this will allow me to provide some income while DS is in school this year. So now I don't have to worry about the whole Kindergarten thing. If he's in the AM, I'll have this to fall back on. If he's in full day, I'll be able to find something part time and still use this to supplement. And again, I'll have some more tax deductible expenses.

So for the moment, I can breathe a small sigh of relief.
