Happy Friday!

I must say, for us worker bees Friday seems to be the best day of the week!

Funny because we still have to work!

Maybe its because we know the weekend is upon us

or

that we can relax, truly relax in the evening

or

for those night clubbers; dancing and drinks!

whatever the reason, Fridays always seem to be good!

And with the past 2 days I've had at work,

Friday could not have come sooner!

****

I cant say it enough,

I love the sunny days!

:)

It definitely releases the rainy day blues and

depressing cabin fever from the fall/winter season.

So this weekend's plans are:

*clean off the patio

*clean out my car

*bake bake and bake some more for the fundraiser

*help a friend move

*head out to a park or marina

*BLOG!

*sketch out a cake and some cake decorations

*READ!

1 more week til I visit the school and I'm pretty

excited and anxious about it.

But lately I must admit

my mind has been on Chicago.

The dream is still there :)

One way or another, I'm going to make it happen!

Happy Friday Everyone!

X's and O's

Sunshine Days...

Chase the blues away.... right?

Well, so they say.

No blues today just a rough day at the job.

one day soon... I shall be long gone from here

doing what I love...

Loving what i do

:)

*********

todays agenda: Lists.

I feel quite scatter brained lately

and realized I need to get my thoughts in order.

So instead of starting 5 million things at once

and finishing 2 (im notorious for that)

I am listing everything I need to do

or need done.

then,

Prioritizing.

Im good at that.

Feel a bit better now.. tho still have more to jot down.

and still want to create a book list.

Speaking of books... this book im reading is rockin my world!

Enlightening.

Missed my workout today so Im going to get busy this evening.

Im diggin the stability ball!

Keepin it short and sweet today.

Enjoy the wonderful sun everyone!

Smile and relish in the warmth of the moment!

Mon-Daze

Today is simply blah. Going from fun and excitement to work just drains out any remnants of good times from my system. But, it must be done.

Getting started on planning this cake for my niece! Alice in Wonderland! I cant wait to see the movie and get some motivation for the cake! I imagine it being Topsy and turvy and whimsical and fun and colorful and BIG!

I just hope I plan it out and scale it right!

As far as my plans... still not sure where I'm at

or what I'm feeling about this

move, school and what not.

Its crossed my mind more than not

about the what if's...

What if... I stayed here and grew my business?

What if... I found a school local enough to do and still keep my job?

What if... I just took some classes and built from there?

What if... this move isn't the best move right now?

What if... I don't move and miss out on an opportunity I don't know is there?

What if... the book was wrong and I can become successful in Chicago?

What if... a great opportunity presents itself in Cali?

What if... I don't make the right decision, for me or my family?

So many "what if's"

So I have resorted to

just not thinking

about school

the move

Chicago.

For now anyways. I think I needed this mental break.

I've been so focused and stressed off applications

and scholarships and grants and relocation,

that my brain is overloaded.

Shut down.

Reboot.

Fresh start, clear and open mind.

*AHHHHHH*

Ooooooh yes, another thing, I have come across a couple books I want to buy aside from

Eat, Pray, Love (which is next on my list!)

But the books are written by Eckhart Tolle; A new Earth and Power of Now

I may even bump A New Earth up because I hear

its a GREAT read!

hmmmmm, think I need a book list! :)

Productivity

I truly wish there were more

hours in the day.

My mind races with

ten-zillion-billion things

that I want to do,

and I find myself

multi-tasking

trying to do them all at once!

My dad always said

"You should of been born with a second pair of arms!"

*giggles* lol

I must agree.

So today on my list of to-do's

that I seem to add

a new "TO-DO"

every hour,

is;

• catch up on my shows via computer (i just don't have DVR time lately)
• Finish my last essay question for my school application
• ♥ BLOG ♥
• work out on lunch
• sketch out my business logo
• order business cards
• Scan the CD cover in so I can finally add graphics and send to the group

And the list goes on....

I'm so wrapped up in cake right now its ridiculous!

Cake fever?

think so!

My list of To Do's before I leave Cali...

So I have been thinking, I really do love my home state, California. Especially the Bay Area my home town. It has so much to offer and see and experience. The weather, the diversity... I mean, I'm a San Francisco gal by all means.

From The Embarcadero,Pier 39, Coit Tower, The Mezzanine, China Town, Palace of Fine Arts, Alcatraz, Lombard "The Crookedest Street", The Cliff House, The Presidio, Ocean Beach, Pollyanna's Ice Cream, Market Street shopping, North Beach, Golden Gate Park, Yerba Buena, Treasure Island, The Golden Gate Bridge, Crissy Field, Coyote Point... and the list goes on. (the bold are my most Favorite spots in the Bay Area!)

Realizing this, I want to visit each spot before I leave my great City. So I have chosen to blog my visits, each weekend I'm available to do so, with pictures so not only will I get to experience them again but my kids as well, some spots for the first time!
I see now the things we take advantage of when living in a great City, as I'm sure locals in their own city do the same.

And so begins my list of things I want to do, visit, see before I leave Cali.

On another note, Ill be back on the Chicago job hunt and scholarship writing this week! My goal is to have completed my application essays for the school and to submit them with my app and fees by the end of the month!
