Steen's Tumblr

steenscookies:

Thank you all SO much for your overwhelming response to Steen’s Cookies being back. I’m currently wrapping up the last 22 orders (38 dozen more cookies to mix, bake & ship!) so I appreciate everyone’s patience as I painstakingly prepare each order for shipment.

I’m not taking any more orders at this time so that I can focus on my existing orders. I will be taking a few days off after I am caught up and will return in about a week or so.

Thanks again for the love. I look forward to your feedback & pics!

Once upon a time, I used to give stuff away. Then I got busy & stopped. Well…I’m still busy but whatever. ANYWAY, I’m giving something away dammit. It’s a “Targus Dual Charger for iPad.” You can charge 2 devices at once. “Dual 2.1-amp ports allow you to simultanousely charge two devices, even 2 iPads, at the same damn time.” (Ok, so I added damn.) 

-Included charge/sync cable can be used separately 

-Charge other USB charged devices using your own USB cables

Made for: iPod touch (2nd-4th generation), iPod classic, iPod nano (4th-6th generation), iPhone 3G, 3GS & 4, iPad, (and other USB charged devices, cable not included.)

It’s brand new in the box. Never been opened or used. So if you want it, all you have to do is LIKE this post. DASS IT! I will select 1 winner tonight if I’m not too drunk. Otherwise I’ll select a winner in the morning. Winner will be announced via another Tumblr post so check back tomorrow to see if you won. If the winner doesn’t claim the prize within 24 hrs, another winner will be selected. 

GOOD LUCK! 

I saw this post RT’ed into my TL today.

The title immediately grabbed my attention: “Why You Should Not Wait For A Clear Vision Before You Move Forward.” Without even reading it, I was immediately reminded of how I jumped feet first into my cookie business just 2 years ago without a clear vision and through hard work & trial and error embarked on one of the most incredible journeys of my life. So I was like “Yessss! I’m here for this!” and started reading.

“Whenever I’m speaking to entrepreneurs—whether they are around the country or around the world—I’m always asked to share my now famous “ATM Story”. It’s one I kept close to the vest for years, because I was too embarrassed to reveal it. But today, I know it’s important to share.”

You’ve got my attention, Ali! I’m always here for a good rags to riches story! So I’m all like “Oooh…a ‘famous’ ATM story. Folks ask for it by name. This has GOT to be good. I can’t wait to get into these pearls of wisdom!” 

Mmmhmmm…went to the ATM. Mmmmhmm…only had $18 in the acct. Been there girl! Can’t go to happy hour. LOL! Been there too! Called your girls up. Yup! They probably even offered to pay for you & you didn’t wanna be a burden so you just said you had cramps or something. Waaait. That’s it? *looks for a link that says “Read More”* *doesn’t find link* WTF ALI!!! What makes this story so inspirational? She had $18 in her acct and now she’s on a beach in CA. Ok, and? I was really hoping she’d say “…and to this day, I carry that tattered receipt in my wallet as a constant reminder of where I came from.” or “That receipt hangs in a frame on the wall of my big fancy ass office over my baller ass desk which faces a big window overlooking the Pacific Ocean & I watch dolphins do bellyflops all day.” But NOOOO. She just had $18 in her acct and couldn’t go have drinks with Samantha & Miranda. Girl bye.

I’ve had $18 in my acct. And you know what I did? I found the credit union ATM’s that dispensed $5 bills (and wouldn’t charge me that pesky fee) and went and proudly withdrew $15 and got my life. Or I took my black ass to the store, bought a pack of gum for 99 cents and got $10 cash back. No fees! I’ve also had $18 in my acct and deposited $2 cash and withdrew a $20. Cry me an ocean of tears with albino belly flopping dolphins in it. Many of us have struggled. Some of are STILL struggling. This story was so raggedy. Ugh!
