Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Today is the day- If all goes well with his trip to the vet, Baby JJ is coming home with us today to make his new home. I’m excited and pray that he loves it here with us as much as we are going to love having him here.

In other news, I finally splurged on a laptop. I’ve been wanting one for a while, and was looking at a gazillion different types, but yesterday I finally took the plunge. My heart was set on an MacBook Pro, but in the end, I decided that my next desktop is going to be a Mac, and I bought a Toshiba laptop. The store didn’t have it in stock, but they ordered it and it should arrive in the next day or so. I can’t wait to have it since it’s going to allow me to do my work everywhere, without having to borrow Marcel’s laptop all the time when I don’t want to work inside or when I don’t want to sit in the computer room.

It also comes with a free Windows 7 upgrade, which I’m really excited about. I’ve heard lots of great things about this new system, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it runs. Another thing it has is a webcam, which I think could be fun to Skype with mom and dad, plus my friend Caroline who lives in the UK.

Alot is going on here, and I have so much to talk about, but right now my oats await and so does work. I also need to get some work around the house done in anticipation of JJ’s arrival. At least we are having left overs tonight, which means I don’t have to cook. That’s a good thing.

Another end to yet another day in the month of October. Before you know it, it will be time to start looking for turkey’s and thinking about Thanksgiving. It was a gorgeous day today. Marcel and I spent some time walking in the woods, but yet I’m feeling a little melancholy today. I’m not sure why, I just am. I skipped Sunday dinner at my mother in laws, but Marcel did bring me a plate, which I thought was really sweet of him.

Right now, I think I’m going to curl up in the bath for a little while, and then grab myself a cup of coffee and relax. Work is done for today- deadlines met for tomorrow, even though it isn’t here yet. I will send them in the morning and think about what projects I can get complete in the next few days, because I have a feeling once we pick up JJ, things are going to be busy until we get him settled. Marcel will be working, so it will fall on my shoulders. Not that I mind. He’s so adorable 🙂

I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately, about many things and about nothing. I know, it’s cryptic and it’s also true. Some things I’ve thought of lately are about things happening in my life that I believe are leading me on a specific path towards something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while, and haven’t done yet. It’s as though these things are happening, in order to pave the way for that to happen. It’s interesting to see those things happen and yet I also find it fascinating as well.

Other things I’ve been thinking about is how ridiculous some people are, and how they get these thoughts and ideas in their head that truly make me think “are you kidding me?” I’d love to say that these same people surprise me, but sometimes you have to consider the source.

Before you think there’s some sort of drama brewing- know that there isn’t, at least not in my world. Unless you count the pending drama that could happen when Mister M and Baby JJ meet next week for the first time. 🙂

I love life, and I love the people in my life. I’ve been blessed with great family and friends. I’m going to spend more time nuturing the relationships that mean the most to me, and letting some go that have become toxic. It’s necessary at times.

My work has recentlly brought me down the path of doing alot of research for the best weight loss pills, plus other weight loss methods, diets and other programs. It has been fun, and educational, and leading me places I never thought I’d be. I happen to love what’s happening and can’t wait to see more as it unfolds.

I’m peeking in quickly before heading off to the bath and jetting off to the studios with Marcel for the evening. My abscence hasn’t been me succombing to being sick, but rather more a quest of me being overloaded with work to the point of almost overload. Luckily it wasn’t quite to that point, so I was able to make each and every one of my deadlines, some with time to spare, and even squeezed in an extra emergency project for one of my clients that I was able to do in record time. I wonder if I should start charging emergency rates for those projects that I get today, that should have been done yesterday? haha

It’s a thought, but one I don’t have much time to ponder at the moment, because it’s time for my bath. Dinner was a little meager tonight- grilled chicken breast with baked sweet potato. Marcel had left overs but I really didn’t have time to cook anything for myself, so that was the extent of it. I don’t mind though, both were nourishing and good for me.

Gotta dash before my bath water gets cold. Hope y’all have a great weekend.

I hate to say it but I think I may be coming down with a cold. I hope not- but I’m not feeling up to par. All I can say is that I hope it isn’t the Oink-Oink since I am not taking the shot. I’m also not taking the Flu shot either.

What I am going to do is take a hot bath, curl up on the sofa and drink a cup of coffee. That’s what I’m going to do.

I can’t believe that two hours have passed in the blink of an eye. Seriously, one minute I was sitting here looking for spa filters for someone, and the next minute I know, I’m looking at the clock and see that two hours have magicaly disappeared.

I also noticed that my coffee is also extremely cold, and there is a rumbling in my tummy that means it’s time to put down the computer for a little while and get some food in the oven. It’s going to be easy food tonight, so at least it won’t take too long to make.

Tomorrow morning is Bible study and I’m looking forward to this weeks lesson. How is your week shaping up so far??

It’s hard to believe that the last time I wrote here was last Saturday and here it is Thursday and another weekend is upon us.

It has been a busy week, and it’s difficult for me to fathom that it’s now the first day of October and before long we’ll be getting ready for Christmas. It’s a cool 57 degrees in the Land of Never, and in spite of the cool temps, I have the door open and am watching the birds dangle off this small bag of peanuts I have hanging outside for them. It’s cute and I adore the sound they make when they sing.

Mister M, on the other hand, would really love to get through that screen door and have one for lunch. He watches and stalks them and if they get on the ground in front of the door he tries to run at them. Luckily he knows the screen is there and he stops just before smashing his head into it.

He’s been very whiny lately, and I am unsure why. I do think that bringing JJ home is going to be an adjustment for him, but I know it won’t take long and they’ll be playing constantly.

What has been happening in your world?

October is a busy busy month for us this year, with a whole lot going on starting tomorrow with multiple parties on one day. Next weekend is Marcel’s birthday celebration, a trip to see baby JJ, and later in the month we’ll pick up JJ, plus Marcel wants to go out of town and do something. We’d thought about planning a big trip, but we decided against it since we have such an expense with buying JJ and bringing him home.

I miss everyone- well most everyone 🙂
