Tonight I decided to go into my basement and dig through the boxes that my life was packed into a year ago. I thought well, if I haven’t really needed what’s in those boxes in a year, do I need them at all? Well of course some things I will need. Such as Linens, bedding, dishes etc. But in my rifling through old clothes that are far too big for me to my delight I found my wooden spoons. You have no idea how much I missed the simplest of things… a well seasoned wooden spoon. I was very happy to discover it, and now will enjoy cooking again. Laugh if you will but my wooden spoon was good for sauces, and baking and well everything!

Outside of that I did find my scrapbooking supplies as well which reminds me once again I need to print off new photos and get back to that hobby, which I have always enjoyed but never really had a lot of money to sink into it. I think I am going to take some money out of my next pay and get some photos done and go from there.

Back to the event planner notion. I have some ideas, and a few things I want to be really good at before I venture into the world of special occasion planning. But it’s in my bonnet and growing. Kind of exciting to be creative about something again. Feels like it’s been awhile.

It has also been awhile since I’ve been back at Weight Watchers… I’m bad. I want to lose the weight but my head just isn’t there, I want it to be there. I think I might just suck it up, go back and vow to not quit. I have a goal in mind, I’ve been successful before, I’m not sure why all of the sudden I have self doubt. Just need to get back on the horse. We’ll see if I’m there on Saturday….

Until then, stay frosty.

PS  How many sleeps boys?

Scooby camping weekend commences tomorrow evening. I can’t wait. I’ve been going non-stop for a few weeks. Both work and play with no relax time make me really stressed out! So this weekend hopefully will be laid back enough that it will fill the gap for now. Next weekend is another long weekend and the only thing I have planned is The Princess Bride at 11:30pm on Saturday night. It is a fundraise for Impossible Realities. Tickets are $7.50 and can be picked up at Reads/United.

Things are coming together for the work move. I still have a few small appliances to pick up. I plan on taking care of that an evening next week. I did get to see the new space yesterday. They were hanging the lights. It looks much larger now that the walls are up, it’s painted and floor is laid. I’ll be interested to see how it all comes together next week. It would be nice if it all went smoothly.

I keep scoping the apartment section of Kijiji. Might help if I had enough money put away for a damage deposit. I gotta do that…

IR in two weeks, mini vacay for me in two weeks.

I can’t wait.

So as Impossible Realities approaches so does the time when we can get into the Kent Theatre and figure out exactly how we are going to decorate for Steve and Tara’s wedding. I’m anxious and excited. We have so many great ideas, now it’s just a matter for them to come together and not forget anything. I think out biggest challenge will be getting fabric draped as we like it and covering spots we want to hide in the place. We’ll see how it all comes together. I have an idea of how it will right now but I think once we get in there in September we might have some new ideas too.

I am taking this maid of honour thing seriously!

This weekend is a bit crazy…well, every weekend up until IR is. But I’ll get though. I have some days off in September to spend with friends, so for that I am thankful.

Off to work… wanted to write more but time got away from me this morning. Have a great Thursday!

So I’ve been thinking alot lately about what I want to do outside of my career. I’ve been thinking about hobbies, and things I enjoy. I enjoy planning events. The more I help with Tara’s wedding, the more I really think that being an event planner is truly something I would enjoy. So if this is something I want to pursue, where to I start? It would have a relatively low start up cost, I could spread by FB and word of mouth and see how I fare. It’s something to think about, I mean truly. What is going to give me fulfillment outside of my 8 to 5 world. This could be something huge for me if I tackle it in the right way.

I think I need to ponder on it more, but it’s never too late to do what you want.

Alright, so here I am. New theme, new face to my blog and a renewed committment to do some more blogging! In the coming months I’ll be busy. The office is moving into a new location, with all new furniture, which I am very excited about, and it comes iwth moderate stress in the scheduling side of things. As well, we have Impossible Realities creeping up on us. Friends from out of town will be joining us, which I am more than just a little excited about. We will have the party of the YEAR on Friday night for Steve, Chris D and Chris W’s Birthdays, as well as just a party because we have our friends visiting! Then before we know it, we will be buried in black and red for Tara and Steve’s wedding. Lots of exciting things coming up aside from that too. I am going to attempt knitting, and at least promise to make myself knit one scarf for winter. We’ll see how it goes.

More to come…when I’m not at my desk.
