The Interview

Well, I had an interview yesterday... I think it went well. :) They said they'll be wrapping things up in a couple of weeks, so I wait. Knowing that I've done the best I could do, I now have to trust that things will work out how they are supposed to (however that may be).
Things are going well. Getting ready to start planning the schedule for the golf league. That's part of the new plan... not waiting until the last minute to get things done. We start golfing at the first of April.
Had some quality time with my daughter this weekend. She really shocked me when she was complaining about her boyfriend "taking his parents for granted". She said that it was making her mad when he would fight with them and that she thinks he gets/asks for more money than he earns by doing chores. It made me feel good to know that she appreciates our relationship and doesn't resent my way of doing things (at least not all the time).
I took my car to the shop this morning and had to leave it for a few hours. It was a beautiful morning, so I walked home. It was so nice. I always love being up and about first thing in the morning, but sometimes it is hard to remember that when I am cozy in my bed.
That's about it for now. I'll come back and let you know the outcome of things when I find out!

So... What are you waiting for?

Wow... long time since my last post.

My thoughts for the last little while have been about waiting. It seems that I have spent an awful lot of time in the past 6 years or so waiting for something or other to happen. Waiting for things to change, come together, and get better. Well... I'm tired of waiting! I need to stop waiting and go live the life I want.

In the spirit of that thought, I jumped feet first into an opportunity that came my way this week. I will be fulfilling the membership spot that my company sponsors in the local Women in Business Association for the upcoming year. How great is that? I'll get to meet new people and do some networking. I'll also get to enjoy lunch out every other month. Who knows what cool things I might learn and what other opportunities might come as a result of this experience?!? I'm very excited!

I am (and have always been) a huge procastinator. I figure this is just another side of my "waiting" problem. I've decided that my theme for 2011 is "What Are You Waiting For?". It applies to everything, really. Projects I've been wanting to work on, my search for a job where I can use my degree, relationships, all sorts of things.

Well, there you have it... I'll be sure to keep you updated on how this all plays out in the upcoming year.

My Life and The River

Okay, so… here goes. I thought when I set this up that it would be a place to post stuff about making soap. It may be from time to time, but is also going to be a place for me to post whatever I want.
This morning, as I was walking/running along the river parkway and listening to the awesome music mix that my brother gave me, I was inspired by the sight of the river sparkling in the sunshine. I know the comparison of life being like a river has been WAY over used, but I’m going to do it anyway.
I walk here this morning and see the river flow and sparkle in the sun as it continues on a journey that is never done. It reminds me that my life is much the same. The journey I am on does not stop when I reach a certain age or stop along the way. I must continue to grow and change with every step, every day. There are bound to be some rocky spots and rapids to get through, but up ahead there will always be a calm, deep pool where I can rest awhile and enjoy the peace and happiness that life brings.
That is the end of my deep thought for the day. Seems almost incomplete, but there it is. I’ve been growing (emotional and life experience – not size) a lot these past few months. It is nice to do some looking inside of myself and learning new things about who I am and who I want to be.
I did make soap this weekend. Pictures and notes will be posted once the process is complete.
