There is a stress pill? where! I so need one.

And, the percentages about New Year resolution results: It is really heartening to see that 56% of respondents really improved their profitability. Yay!

And thanks for your comment about the colors of yarns on my blog. I'm probably cutting a big slice off for future UFOs with all this knitting activity, huh? ;o)

Happy New Year, Peace, Love and much "small business" success. I still need to write down resolutions for my biz, guess I am still in the post-Christmas mood of not wanting to return to work.
