Sick Day

All winter long I've been wonder how people keep getting sick.  I was feeling great and had not even had one single sniffly.  Well lets just say I counted my chickens before they hatched.  I have been so sick the pass three days.   The weird thing about being sick when you work for yourself is that it is worst then when you are sick an working for someone else.  I know this makes no sense.  You would think that being sick when you work for yourself is not a big deal.  But I was so frustrated.  I had so much planned that I wanted to get done today.  But I was stuck in bed. Today I was especially disappointed because I was unable to attend a class I had signed up for. If anything being sick has made me realize I like what I am doing.  I like it alot!  Before I would have enjoyed a sick day.  I day away from my office and a day to lay around and be lazy.  I am so much happier now in what I am doing and were I am at.  I am so motivated.  So even thought today was a funk I am happy to report that I am loving life.

Sun coming though the front door.  Loving this weather!

Durbin is my dog

" Brinkley is my dog. He loves the streets of New York as much as I do. Although he likes to eat bits of pizza and bagels off the sidewalk and I prefer to buy them.” - Joe Fox, You've Got Mail (Favorite movie ever)

 Durbing is my dog.  Durbin loves looking out the window.  It's his new favorite thing.  Sadly this new favorite thing involves barking at anything that passes.  Durbin was not a barker until he discovered looking out the window.  So now he gets to "play outside" for extended periods of time.  Sadly this playing outside involves lots of digging.  Lots and lots of digging.  So now when he comes in from outside his paws have to be checked and wiped and wiped some more.  I dont mind but buying couches in "Butter" may have been the dumbest decision of Michael and my  marriage.  Now it is butter with some dashes of puppy prints.

What Makes For a Good Blog

I am quit the blog stalker/ follower.  I have come to the conclusion over the past 2 years that there is a certain formula you have to follow in order to have a "popular" blog.  Here are my professional blog view study conclusions: 

1.) Be mormon
I am Catholic.  I believe in Jesus. Mormons believe in Jesus.  That will just have to do.


2.) Have freckles
Sometimes my face breaks out.  Not the same thing
 
3.) Live in big city.
 I did for 2 years, 2006-2008.  Does that count?


4.) Have cute children (and at least one has to be a chubby baby)
Not yet but soon.  And if you've seen my baby pictures its sure to be a chubby one.
 
5.) Take pictures  with really nice camera
iphone pictures?

stir cray cray

Today was the first day of "working for myself" that I was a bit board.  I got up early and went to mass and the grocery store to get off on a productive foot.  I went to the office for a few hours but had a terrible head ache and had to return home for the miracle drug (Excedrin migraine).  I finished my list of things to do way to fast.  I felt like I still had a whole day in front of me.  I like being busy.  I actually love being busy.  I added more stuff to the list for tomorrow including but not limited to lit dropping a whole neighborhood with a flyer (that will be made tomorrow).  Let set the bar high people!


In other news the ever so popular and delish Reester eggs have arrived in stores.  I am always conflicted if it is a mortal sin to eat one before Lent begins.  I mean it is not Lent yet so it's not like I am breaking the rules by eating sweets...but it is a sweet to celebrate Jesus's raising from the dead.  So there would be a certain amount of (Catholic) guilt if I ate one prior to Easter.

First day

Today is my first day after quitting my job.  I can't believe I actually did it!  The relief of leaving a horrible job is amazing!  I feel like I am free of all that negativity that I use to face every day.  I am excited to prove myself and see what the future holds!
