American as Apple Pie!

This Memorial Day Weekend was wonderful, and productive!  It was a great start to the summer ahead of us, and I hope that I keep this energy going for more then just a day or two!

Friday was spent working around the house, laundry, changing sheets, cleaning litter boxes, the normal weekly chores to take care of my litter.  I spent the evening working late, but got to come home to pizza with the family, yum!

Saturday I took it easy throughout the day, knowing that I had to work all evening (real work)... so I read a wonderful book that I was behind on, I took a few email surveys, and I caught up on my blog reading.  I even fit in a little freezer "cooking", I took an idea from Money Saving Mom and put some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the freezer.  This sounds a little crazy, but it is a great idea for my house because we usually do not have bread in the house, so now if I want a PB&J I can just grab it out of the freezer!  Then, after a LONG night at work I came home to my sweet husband, waiting with Ice Cream from my FAVORITE place in town <3.

Sunday we work up early, pulled weeds, weeds, and MORE weeds!  Then we went to the store because we had to fill in all the spots we had just weeded.  We ended up finding more projects around the house to work on instead, including putting in air conditioning, painting a butterfly, and having dinner with family!

Monday, Monday!  What a wonderful day.  We finished weeding, bought more plants, got everything planted, covered in gardening fabric, and mulch down.  I washed the floors (the old school way, hands and knees), did more laundry, washed dishes, read my book, dusted, worked on another area of weeding, planted some more, and then watered everything over and over again.  We finished the night with another great family dinner, and then snuggled in to watch TV until we fell asleep.



It was so amazing to spend so much time with my litter, and I loved every minute, but I was a little excited to go back to work today so I could relax a little.  And have my computer back!  I was trying to stay disconnected from the internet for 2 days, and stay connected to my family!

How did you spend your weekend?

Giving Thanks, Day 13

Today I am thankful for trade shows and all of the fun stuff that vendors hand out to everyone for free! We had a trade show today for 55 companies in the area.  It was amazing all of the things that were handed out; movie passes, note pads, pens, hand sanitizer, etc.  The things that you can always use, but usually don't want to pay for. My favorite is always note pads.  I love all the different shapes and sizes, and it helps to give me the motivation to start new lists and gives me the goal to work all the way through the stack of paper, before getting bored or moving on to a new idea or set of projects. What kinds of things do you like to get for free?!

Learning about Catering, and Myself!

Last week I was in Las Vegas, attending CaterSource Catering Convention. I learned so many things about myself, my work, and the people that I am surrounded by.  Some good and some bad, but all have helped me to realize more of what I want for my life. Over the last year I have realized how important it is to take the time to make these realizations.  I need to know the my strengths so I can keep them going.  I need to know my weaknesses so that I can work them.  I also need to know my goals.  Even if they are ever-changing goals, I still need to know them.  If I am walking through my days just hoping for the best then I never know if I get anywhere. I have realized that as much as I used to love doing surveys that I have now found them to tedious.  I would much rather be part of focus groups and interviews.  Not only do they make more money for my time investment, but they also do not take constant attention, whether it be daily or weekly.

8 Weeks Later....

I just realized that I fell off the face of the blog world 8 weeks ago!   I was finally starting to get back on track with organizing, cleaning, and work when I just forgot how to manage my time! Over the last weeks I have made so many memories, enjoyed so much time with family and friends, and traveled to Denver, Cub Lake, Cedar Point, and back home again!  I have celebrated my 4th Wedding Anniversary to the man of my dreams as well as my grandma's 80th Birthday!  I have welcomed a great nephew (Jerry) , an amazing 2nd cousin (Brock), and a beautiful little friend (Sirena) into the world!  And last, but not least, I have decided that I am perfectly at peace with my life, no matter what comes my way. Now that July is finally behind us and August is starting anew, so are my new hopes, dreams, and goals!  I will share them as they become closer to reality, and I have a plan of action on how to handle everything. For this month I am hoping to stop in at leas...
