I started doing some laundry today and my 10 year old washing machine started making a bunch of noise every time it tried to spin out. While I was hoping for a quick fix, I knew in my heart that my Kenmore/Whirlpool washing machine was on life support – with a full load of every pair of underwear I own.
This is the second installment of ‘Mobile University’, or formerly known as ‘What I am Listening to in My Car’. I haven’t been spending a bunch of time in my car lately, but I continue to use that time for what Zig Ziglar calls “Mobile University”.
2006 started out as a resolve to take off the remaining pounds, but ended up adding 32 pounds to my body. One of the reasons for this gain was a school schedule that caused me to spend 10 weeks on my butt working for A’s. After I finished these 4 classes, David and I joined the local Cardinal Fitness and I started going several times a week. A really bad cold sidelined me for a number of weeks and the holidays were another reason to eat (aren’t they always?).
Right now I’ve got “The Millionaire Mind” on CD in my car. I’m on CD #7. The whole book is about what millionaires have in common (besides the obvious).
Most of them own their own businesses (and not particularly glamourous businesses).
They are relatively frugal.
They live below their means.
They are happily married.
This has been a really enlightening book and I highly recommend it. It’s a pretty easy “listen”.
What I plan to write here is what I have on my mind at any given time. You might not be interested, but heck, who knows?
I want to tell you about my kids and grandkids. They are amazing!!
Oh, BTW my youngest son, Craig, will be playing at the Bourbon Street Distillery here in Indianapolis on September 30 from 5pm-7pm. His band is a folk-bluegrass kind of band. Craig plays the guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and banjo in the band. They call themselves The Junkyard Dawgs (Craig lives by a junkyard, but the rent is free and the utilities are cheap and he is out of my house), Yellowood (reminds them of dog pee on wood), or the Jackson Brothers (no, none of them are Jacksons or brothers). Y’all need to come and hear them. They really are quite good.
