Weekly Friday Update

Well....it seems I've been making a pattern of posting on Fridays. While I'm not feeling particularly inspired to write about anything I wanted to keep developing this blog. In this case, I'll just summarize the previous week.

I was fortunate enough to attend two Elmo themed birthday parties in one week. This makes much chuckle. To be honest, I feel honored to be part of the families that invited me to these parties. Since I don't really have the closest family circle, my friends have become part of my family. It's a blessing to watch my friends children growing up and for me to still be included.


I had an "interview" (if you can call it that) for a 2nd job, part time this week. It didn't go as expected. In fact, I'm pretty sure I was discriminated against. While it's very upsetting to feel this way, I have to step back and look at the big picture. Clearly, it's not a "good fit" for me. Hopefully something else will present itself.

I've been preparing for a yard sale this weekend. I hope that I'm able to get rid of a handful of stuff. I'm trying to declutter my life; house and mind. It's Labor Day weekend and I don't really have anything fun or festive planned which is sort of a bummer. Maybe something will turn up last minute. Sometimes the unexpected is best.

I've been putting a little thought into where I would like to vacation next year. I always go away over my birthday. I do love a good beach vacation. There's nothing like laying in the sun and having nothing to do but swim, drink and sunbath. However....Europe has been calling my name. I some how feel incomplete not having been to London. I'm thinking a trip to GB may be in my future. I hope.

Today I finally worked up the nerve to tell my boss' boss that I was looking for more opportunities. I've become a little stagnant in my current position. I know there are projects going through my company which will help me grow creatively and professionally and I want to tap into that opportunity. I'm pretty sure it was well received because he responded with "I appreciate your attitude and I will put you at the top of the list for new projects-" Yay! We'll see.

I think that's enough for this nutshell for now. The squirrels have apparently gotten full ; )
