I am beginning to think that having your own business is like having small children who never grow up - It is with you 24x7. Today, Hal and I worked on our new website, http://www.girlsofallages.com/ which is still in its infancy but it is open to the public. Today we worked on search engine optimization and I found out that by changing one word or the location of that word (if it is in your meta data), your chances of being discovered can be altered greatly. Since it was Sunday, we finally called it quits at 11:30am and took our dogs to dog park and to a pet fair where we discovered that between us, we had brought zero dollars (or cents...or should that be sense). Took the dogs home to get our wallets and went back to buy some poop bag holders that fit on their leashes. Then, we went to a small craft fair at The Pike in Long Beach where we met a few people I hope to do business with in the future. For those of you who don't live in Southern California, The Pike at Rainbow Harbor (downtown Long Beach - very near the water) is a vibrant dining and entertainment district linking the Long Beach Convention Center to Rainbow Harbor's waterfront and the Aquarium of the Pacific. You can eat there, go to a movie, have a drink or shop. You can even ride the carousel and the ferris wheel, which we almost did today but didn't quite make it because I saw a Smoothie shop and was distracted. It was a nice outing, and it was great to leave the kids (the two four-footed ones and the business) at home for a change.
I also found my bicycle pants so, Donna & I have to don our outfits (biker chick - black with a huge baby chicken on the front) soon so that Hal can take our picture looking utterly ridiculous. Trust me, we will never be mistaken for "serious" bike riders in those outfits with Donna on her beach cruiser and me on my Huffy. Yes, I have a Huffy. Does anyone else?
Well, my business calls - time to put some Christmas night lights out on Amazon.
