Moving Forward

February 28, 2009 - 17:42

It has been brought to my attention that I don't update often enough. LOL! I know it. I keep thinking to myself that I need to write about something that has happened, but I get so busy with other things that I never get around to doing it. Which is a shame, really, because I enjoy writing here. Well, that's not entirely true ... I just enjoy writing. I wish that I had time to do it more often!

So, just to backtrack a little bit ...
Remember that one night where a blizzard just blew in out of nowhere, and the winds were so strong that many thought that their house was going to blow away? Well, Jackie and I were out in it. And we had no clue. LOL! We were running around the river valley and snapping pictures of ourselves. Yeah, in the dark. And we had a blast doing it!! Half the pictures didn't turn out, but that didn't matter. It was one of the most fun evenings that I'd had in a long time! We didn't care if we looked drunk or crazy ... we felt good - laughing and being silly. I was well on the way to healing from the past couple of years of depression, but this night put me firmly on course. I was back, baby! I was bold! And yes, I was BEAUTIFUL!

And it was all spontaneous. One of my favourite things!

Moving forward ...
Greywhistle has asked me to come back and play with him, Naomi, and a couple other friends again. I'm making a bit of a step here as well because we won't be playing the classic fantasy roles, but moving into the Space Frontier. Normally I would have shied from this, but I'm looking at learning/doing new things ... and for once, this intrigues me a little bit. Maybe I'll do better if I don't have to come up with descriptive on-the-spot fight moves. After all, "there's (supposedly) nothing better than a blaster at your side." Right?

Jade had a day off of work due to very cold weather. So he brought the truck in and took me out for lunch. It was one of the most fantastic days I'd ever had at work, I swear. And, at the same time, the most distracting! LOL! I think he looked wonderful, and he later told me that I was looking very good as well. I'm very glad that I decided to dress properly that day! Part of the joy was that it was a surprise to me. He called me at work and announced that he wanted to take me out for lunch! Such a little thing ... and it made my entire day. I was SO happy. Even when I got teased because we got back from lunch late!

Such a pity that his truck took longer than we thought, but that was a bit more time to be able to see him! Still, I had to keep myself from finding excuses to run out to see him in the waiting room. I am very proud of myself for keeping things professional. Even our little kisses were short and sweet, if few.

My PartyLite is getting better than ever! I'm keeping my sales up where I want them, and I'm feeling very well established! I'm comfortable with my current circle, but not depending on it either ... and I'm still SO pumped about the Trade Show that I was accepted for! It's costing me a pretty penny, but I think that this is going to be SO WORTH IT! Just getting out there and meeting people who are expecting to see a PartyLite booth (even if they don't know that it's me!) and being able to get my name out and to Show the Money to the open-minded audience! It will be just ... Fantastic! Amazing, even!

I'm just hoping that my one friend is willing to start to help me out! Can you imagine the opportunity of being brand new and being invited to participate in this Trade Show? It's unbelievable! And I really wish that I'd had the chance! Still, I love this job ... and maybe I love it more because I had to fight and work to get where I am.

Either way, I'm going to be a happy woman at that show!

And for the biggest surprise - I'm going to be moving my stuff upstairs soon. My parents have found a place in BC and they are moving near the end of March. The house will be all mine again, until Maia comes back for her "visit". She's the student that my parents rented the basement suite out to. She comes back for a few months every year to work during the summer (or take another course, I'm not sure) but I like her and love her dogs, so we'll do okay. Well, maybe Spot won't like it so much, but he'll cope. Right now, we're working on getting the utilities in my name from theirs, as well as getting the stuff they are taking packed up, and the stuff that they aren't divided out to myself, and charities. (Some of it, I want! LOL!)

Hugs to all of my friends! and ...
Sweet Dreams!
