Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

It seems like when I took the little hiatus from Facebook- I also took a hiatus from updating here.    My head has been filled with cobwebs and sorting through massive amounts of ‘junk’, but through that I’ve also been able (surprisingly) to get a few new and exciting things in the works with my business.    I’m making some goals and it looks like next year is going to be not only a fun, but also busy year!  I’m looking forward to it!

In the meantime- I’ve been spending a lot of time in the kitchen- whipping up a few new recipes that I created after drawing inspiration from some of my favorite food blogs-  and I need to update the cookbook I have for my recipes.

I’ve been thinking about a food blog for years-  and I think I may just make one happen-  we’ll see.  I have a domain that I’ve owned for years now, maybe I need to use it.

It’s hard to believe that we are already three days into the month of August. My birthday month flew by with great speed and even now- looking back, I’m finding it hard to remember where the days and weeks went. It was filled with some wonderful moments and even more wonderful people and I’m grateful.

August has me thinking and reconsidering a lot of things- making a few new goals- and adjusting others. At least the weather is perfect outside- and in spite of the migraine I’m feeling today- I know that good things are happening all around me. I’m grateful for that.

I’m also grateful knowing that in a few short months- we’ll be heading home for the holidays. More great times await.

In addition to all the other planning and goal setting I’ve been doing- I’ve also been entertaining the idea of making some new investments for our future. I have been looking at various options, including researching the best annuity rates that would give us the most return in the investment time that I’m looking for us to invest in. Marcel isn’t remotely interested in learning about these things- and leaves all the research and decision making up to me. I still discuss it with him- but he trusts my judgement and instinct and knows that I wouldn’t make a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants decision. After all- it’s my future too.

This morning I called Marcel at work to ask him about some reflector vests that we have in the car. I could tell that he was distracted, so without asking I knew he was busy, which was logical, since he was at work. I could hear someone talking in the back ground and asking him about a ball joint being broken and what it would take to repair it. Since I was pretty certain this was way beyond his realm of job description, I got the answer to my question and said goodbye.

When he got home – I asked him about it, and he told me that the conversation I heard part of was going on in the midst of everything else and that it was totally non-work related. At least they knew what they were talking about- as I had NO idea!
