PUPUSAS for the PEOPLE!

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Today Jason and I took a jaunt down Clark Street to check out a new Pupseria down the street.
If you don’t know what a Pupuseria is, you’re not alone. Read about it here:

PUPUSAs are heavenly little el salvedorian corn pockets of love filled with holy and wonderful delights that are then topped with curtido (el salvedorian pickled cabbage- coleslaw’s more beautiful and delicious sister.)





It was our first time eating pupusas and it’s hard to imagine a better first impression.
It might sound a little dramatic to say that my life was changed…

but it was…

the end…

I am not the same woman I was before.


Go get one. NOW! I’m not kidding.

Freelance Switch

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

So… I’m a fairly recent fulltime freelancer.
It has been an interesting ride so far. Bumpy and paved. Very full of freedom, very full of fear and very full of questions.

- Do I have to incorporate? Is it better to be a sole proprietor?
- What exactly is tax deductible?

- How do I find new clients?

- How do I plan for next year?

- How do I avoid the seemingly inevitable feast and famine that comes with freelancing?

- Who in the world can i turn to to answer these questions of mine?!?!?!?

- Hello??? Anybody out there?




Just when I thought I couldn’t feel more alone-  I found a FANTASTIC RESOURCE!
Freelanceswitch.com is just the site I was looking for.


Their ABOUT statement sums it up – “FreelanceSwitch is a site for freelancers. Whether you’ve been freelancing for years, have just started or are considering making the switch, this is the place to get all the information and support you need.”



HURRAY! Help at last!!!
