Post #3 (I'm on a role)

Wow! Today was what I feel like a day was supposed to be like. I didn't get on Fiesta at all today due to I didn't really have anything prepared to sell and I also had a lot of other things that were occurring today that took all of my attention. I did however finish my excel spreadsheet that I was working on for the sales of my Fiesta items. I am really quite excited about that! Aside from that it does some really cool calculations, it represents me finishing a project. I mentioned in my earlier blog that I was a bit intimidated by excel, but now that I have finished this project, I feel like I have had the experience that my project was not nearly as taxing as I thought it could have been :) and every time I have one of these experiences, I find that it makes starting and completing other projects much easier to get started and finished. This has also got me thinking about my Ebay project. Tonight I found some awesome clearance items at Office Depot (lasers! can you believe it!). I'm keeping one for myself and then selling the other three. With any luck they cover a good portion of my Office Depot clearance shopping. I'm feeling like I'm much more able to handle working an Ebay business and it's time to get started. This excel file though... as I looked a bit more closely at it... turns out can also be used for my Ebay sales in calculating cost of product to purchase or produce and what it's currently selling for to get profit margins. In my next few posts I intend to get some screen shots of the spreadsheet and post here with instructions on how to use. I may also put in a link here to a place where people can download the file or perhaps to my email and I'll send it to them.
Haven't really looked into it much at this point sooooo don't know what available. For now send me a message and when it's done I can send a copy to you.

In other Fiesta news, last night had like a two hour dance party online, which is really quite amazing as the Fiesta characters only have like 5 dances. So we ended up getting down to our basic Noobe (new person) clothes and regular armor boots. Which means we all had really big boots on. It was quite enjoyable and I really enjoyed chatting with all the other people that were on. I've decided that for a little while I'm going to wander around towns in my Noobe lounge clothes. It makes me laugh that it's so much fun for me.

Hmmm I may want to make a note somewhere to take pictures of these events when they occur or other cool events as then I can post them on this blog. I can do that you know :).

In any case the highlight of today for me was the putting together of the Excel file. I may have other ideas for the future but for now it's in a form that I would be happy to share with others.
