Early Birthday Gift
Hey there Gentle Reader,
Sunny and warm here in the big city. I LOVE IT! One of the few who isn't unhappy with the mega warm weather. Summer baby, what can I say?
Speaking of summer, my birthday is in exactly 1 month today. A good amount of time to sneak in one goal before I turn *mumble mumble cough hack*. Ok then.
I am working on an art portfolio now so I can speak with restaurant/cafe owners about having my paintings in their store. Also doing virtual housekeeping on my 7 year-old pc. Want to get a few more years of it! Both of those things can be completed by August 16.
Nothing too complicated for those 4 weeks. Smaller goals are fun because they usually have just a few steps AND a splashy outcome. Yet they tend to be the things on our lists that seem to move from week to week since they don't have a lot of steps (odd huh?) We always think "well THAT won't take much time..." but then we move on to big and shiny projects! The old "more is more" theory - we'll get more bang for the buck by tackling larger tasks. Not always the case though. Sometimes the ongoing project that finally gets completed gives us the greatest joy - ie. losing those 5 lbs you gained on your vacation or buying a new set of brightly coloured towels for the bathroom.
Oh and on a totally UNRELATED thought, the iPhone 4 will be released in Canada on July 30th. Oh yes, I'm still getting it despite everything in the news. LEO's can be pretty dang stubborn!
Have a fabulous weekend and I'll catch up with you on Monday!
