Lori at FreelanceMom.com tagged me with the ‘5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me’ meme. This is the first time I’ve been tagged, yay! So if you’re ready for a nap, keep reading.
1. I used to teach piano when I was in high school. If I still had a piano, I’d be teaching it still. I miss my piano 
2. I’ve been engaged twice and married once. I’m single now, but that doesn’t mean you can add me on facebook and ask me perverted questions!
3. My favorite game to play is Final Fantasy. Any one of them. I love almost any RPG, but that one is my favorite. I’m basically a boy in a woman’s body. I can also burp louder than most guys I know.
4. I’ve never been outside of Canada. The farthest West I’ve been is to BC, but I’ve never been East. I’m pretty much just stuck here all the time in what a lot of people refer to as ‘Butt-hole Saskatchewan’.
5. I love classical music and I’m not afraid to say it. I listen to Timbaland and System Of A Down and just about everything else, but every once in awhile I’ll put on some Chopin and jam out to it. My favorite song to play on the piano is Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. My favorite opera to listen to is Mozart’s Requiem.
I’ll tag a person who I haven’t talk to in awhile, but I think it would be interesting to see her answers if she ever sees this. Andrea, come on down!

Since I’ve been working online, I’ve signed up for almost every newsletter under the sun. The majority of them are just regurgitated, uninteresting information, but there’s one that I especially look forward to each week.
If you want to learn how to be successful online without wasting time on useless information, sign up for the Talk Biz newsletter. Paul Myers is an amazing marketer, and so far there hasn’t been a single newsletter of his that I haven’t read from start to finish (and some of them have been extremely long).
He’s got a great sense of humor and always makes sure each newsletter is interesting. Most newsletters I read are pretty dull, but not his.
What I especially love about his newsletters is his ability to get his point across without any hype or jazz. I don’t have time to read through a bunch of fluff, and I’m sure you don’t either, so this is something that I really appreciate as a busy mom.
You’ll learn a lot from Paul from what he says and also from HOW he says it. I particularly enjoy seeing how he sells. He doesn’t try and hide it by sneaking in the links. He comes right out and damn well says he’s selling something. Sometimes he’s selling his own products, other times he’s recommending someone else’s. Either way, he does it perfectly. It’s not a blatant sales letter that insults your intelligence, it’s just a simple, straight forward and honest recommendation.
You’ll realize right away that Paul is someone you can trust. These days, it’s hard to trust anyone on the Internet. I’ve been burned by marketers before and if you’ve been online for any amount of time, you probably have too. That’s why the Talk Biz newsletter is such a breath of fresh air.
If you’re not already a subscriber, sign up now. You’ll be glad you did. Oh, by the way, it doesn’t cost a thing. I’m not selling anything and I don’t get anything when you sign up, I just hope you can benefit from his information like I have.
