Save Me, Please.

I've quit my 3 year long job.  Almost exactly on the day that I started there.  Minus a couple of days.   It's strange to think that it's done.   That I don't have to go to a job that I don't really like almost every day.  I mean, my job was a really good job.  Flexible hours, didn't have to work on the weekends, didn't have to stay past 6 pm at latest, and it wasn't difficult... that is until you had to deal with an angry customer. 
What am I going to do instead?  Start a business for wedding flowers.  While I work part time at (maybe) a flower shop.  It's kind of like my child hood dream... to work at a flower shop or a green house.  Flower shop was the better of the two.  
Starting a business is scary.  Ever since it became a possibility I've been looking on Martha Stewart.com trying to do my homework.  There are so many things about business that I don't even know.  Taxes, how much to charge, what's legal and what's not... like I said, I have a lot to learn.  I have books to buy and a business name to think up.  And customers to get.  That I will have to really pray for.  All my friends are pretty much already married or won't be for a few years.  Great.  Seems impossible.  Scary, scary.  I need to pull out a planner.
Well, that's the update for now.  Maybe more later. 
See ya, 
Merry Christmas,
Marcie
