Hmmmmmm. The blog. One of those things that I wish I had more time for because anyone who knows me knows I love to talk and share my opinion on a bunch of random things.
It's Friday morning and I've taken a few hours off work this morning to prepare for our Memorial Day camping trip. Don't you think I'm making a great use of this extra time? Not.
Time. Something I think about quite a bit these days. I don't have a lot of it. Well I guess I have as much as the rest of you but my time is spent 9 hours a day at a job where I where my hat as an accountant, I somehow fit in a workout during most days and the rest of the time I spend with my family and sometimes my friends. It doesn't seem like a lot but it really is. Which is why I am constantly pondering what I can do to get and give more time to my family and something more meaningful in my eyes. A stay-at-home full-time mom? Not really ideal for me. But a home-based business? A part-time job? Something along those lines - I know it will eventually come up. So I just keep waking up and trying to make the most of each and every day. I've at least learned in the past couple of years to do that much!
One of my other hats is my part-time job as a Zumba instructor at the Tumwater Valley Athletic Club. Filling a huge passion of mine. Helping and instructing others. Plus I get paid to work out. Not bad and my classes have been pretty darn packed and successful this year!
Ten random thoughts from me this morning:
1. If I could take the summer off, I would spend 2 weeks in Maine and 2 weeks in North Carolina. Home to some wonderful friends.
2. Sometimes I regret moving back to the Pacific NW. Remember those awesome beach blogs from about three years ago? Ya, me too. Just wish I could have moved my people to me - I do love seeing family and friends much more. BUT - I miss sun, hot and warm beaches.
3. I'm really happy I don't live in a state where tornadoes occur. However, earthquakes scare me just as much. If not more. No warnings.
4. Sometimes who I want to be is different from who I really am. Accepting that can be hard.
5. Women who don't find value in maintaining close friendships with other women frighten me. I stay away from them.
6. Our lives have been much improved by taking Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University course. Normal is broke people!!
7. I really want to move into a different house. Where, I don't know. But I want a master bath and a nice kitchen with a pantry. On a cul-de-sac. And a bigger yard. Hot tub would be a bonus!
I'm going to end with seven. That's all I really have time for.
Til next time......and I hope it's less than three months before I find/make the time!
