Thank you so much for the comments, emails and phone calls. I cannot tell you how it feels to receive so many nice words from so many people. It means so much!
I've always wondered what it would be like to be a stay at home mom, and now I'm getting a taste. My house is always clean, the grocery shopping is done (yesterday at 8 am! - who knew the stores were so quiet and peaceful on a weekday morning?!), I'm cooking a bit (that's HUGE for our household, I NEVER cook) AND I'm getting my workouts in every day, and that feels really good. I'm keeping a To Do list every day and marking things off as I finish them so the days don't get away from me. I'm a bit of a list fanatic ;)
All of that in between putting feelers out there, polishing up my resume and working on some assignments for a magazine.
I've decided to still go to CHA next week. Headed out on Saturday at the crack of dawn with my friend Sande. Planning on walking the floor, networking and checking to see what opportunities may be out there. And hey, I've never been on the other side of the show before, it will be interesting to see that other side!
Update on the marathon front - we had a little mishap over the weekend. The treadmill decided to bite the dust.
Check it out - have you ever seen anything like that?! Guess I've really been hammering it the last few weeks, eh? Well, it is about 10 years old, so maybe that has something to do with it. Thank goodness for my handy husband. He took it apart, called the company and ordered a new belt that is scheduled to arrive any day. MUCH cheaper than buying a brand new treadmill. Looks like the progress on my 2nd marathon will be delayed a bit, but I've found other ways to workout until the new belt gets here.
I've never been much of an exerciser. Ok, who I am kidding? I might as well say I've never been an exerciser. At all. Oh sure, it's at the top of my resolutions at the start of the year, but after a few days, it always just faded away into oblivion. Not this year! As of yesterday, I've worked out 19 of the 21 days in January. And you know what, it feels good. Really good.
Looking forward to doing a little scrapbooking when I get back from the show next week. Even though it's been my 'job' for the last 3 years, I still really enjoy it and find it extremely therapeutic.
Thanks again friends, it's meant the world to me, more than you'll ever know!
