Things I LOVE....

1. As I've mentioned in many other posts, I LOVE working with my husband. And interestingly enough, we are total opposites, but I know that's what makes us great together. For example, I look over at his desk: Totally spotless. Not a piece of paper. Nothing. A laptop closed neatly. Now look at my desk: Two glasses, one water bottle, one Rt 44 cup from Sonic (that's Sinara's), piles of books (PMBOK 4th Ed, PMBOK Q&As, Our coursebook, workbook, etc), our new PPM calculator in sexy lime green, Brooke's sr. pictures, a box of Christmas cards (because I'm sending Brooke one every day), note paper, stickies, home phone, cell phone, highlighter, picture discs, etc, etc, etc. [Personally, I think this just shows my creative genius at work!]. But bottom line, we're both committed to this business and making it succeed.

2. My niece, Sinara (CC). She seriously ROCKS. I am having so much fun with her and although I'm sad that we've missed the past 15 years together, I'm thrilled about the future. She is just incredible - just like my other three nieces and my three daughters! It must be something good salvaged from this gene pool!

3. My job - I know, I know. I already kinda mentioned it above, but it's just incredible. Yes, there are many, many long days and nights, but it's so worth it.

4. The office phone - like the call I got today from a gentleman in Wisconsin. Registered him and his co-worker for our class in Chicago. LOVE calls like that!

5. Facebook - yeah, it sounds silly, but it's really borne friendships and relationships that didn't exist before and gives me this virtual network of amazing friends!

6. Wii - Totally, 100% addicted. The most incredible invention EVER. I seriously just love everything about it. Playing Mario Kart, boxing, my EA Sports Active trainer.... it's awesome.

7. My puppies.... and yes, I say this with real, legitimate tears. They are such amazing little creatures who love me and trust me completely. It breaks my heart to know that we will have to give them up. I know, deep down, it's the right thing, but that certainly doesn't make it any easier. So far, we haven't found homes for them and I just don't know what to do. It's going to be a tough few months.
