Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

I spend the evening last night in the company of Desere, Hein and her family and friends. It was her 39th birthday, and next year she’ll join me in the 40’s club. Granted, I have a few years head start on her, but after much fretting about making it into my 40’s, I have to say that I happen to like it.

I really like her family, so it was great to see them again and have a chance to talk to them. I also enjoyed getting out and not having to think about work or anything else for a while. I think that’s the only downfall to working at home, you can always find yourself being drawn back to your work, when there are other things you should be doing as well. I’m definitely not complaining though, I love my work and wouldn’t have things any other way.

One thing I have been missing in tis little space is what I’m grateful for each day. The weeks before Thanksgiving I put things on my Facebook status, and that’s when I realized that I missed it so much, so expect to see more of what I’m grateful for, starting today.

Ooops. Looks Like I’ve really gotten behind on the 30 days to greater happiness. I’ll try to catch up tomorrow or the next day. We’ve been a little busy around the wizzy household getting ready for Thanksgiving, planning parties, and attending dinners. You know how it is- the life of a socialite is never dull. haha

Marcel and I have been thinking that it’s time to start doing a few more home improvements in the house. We’ve been talking about it for quite some time, but it seems like one thing or another comes up and we never actually get anything productive done. Personally, I want to wait until after the first of the year, since the holidays are quickly approaching, but he wants to start within the next week. We are wanting to replace the doors throughout the house, add rocker switches to all the lighting, and possibly add crown moulding throughout. My idea? Hire someone to do it all so we don’t have the headache.

I’ll keep y’all posted on how it plays out.

Things have been so busy lately that I feel like I am a passenger in my own life story. I decided today that something had to change, so I’m going to be making a few changes in my life, in the way I approach my work projects and a few other things. It may take me a little while to get things the way I want them, but I have to remind myself that it’s time to start taking time for me, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

More on this process later.

Today was one of those typical Monday’s when it seemed like I was paddling backwards in a boat with a strong current. Luckily, I can say that the day is almost over and Desere is coming over shortly for coffee, chat and for us to watch Grey’s together. Lately, my work has allowed me to research various things such as best acne treatments and also the benefits of lycopene. No, the two aren’t related, but the great thing about my job is that not only do I get to do something I love, I also get to feed the grey matter, and learning is something that challenges me and makes me thrive.

Changes coming…. see next entry.

It has been raining cats and dogs here for the past two days now and I hope that there is some dry weather in sight. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day with doctors appointments for both Marcel and JJ, which means that I’ve got to make sure that all of my work is done in the morning.

Right now, all is quiet in the house. Marcel decided to nap early because he wants to watch the soccer game tonight before going to work. I’m not sure if that’s going to make things easier for me or not. I guess we’ll see.

One thing is for sure, I’m in the mood to bake and want to get some banana bread made tomorrow even if I don’t indulge.
