It’s a Beautiful morning…
It's a Beautiful morning...As I was walking this morning the smell of the sea was in the air. I kept thinking if I licked my lips I would taste the salt. There wasn't enough salt on the breeze to leave the taste, but the smell of the sea... I forget that I am so close to the ocean now. That just a few minutes away is a beach. You would think the sound of seagulls would tip me off. But perhaps I have been so lost in my mind and my emotions that I haven't had the chance to really take in my surroundings. Even with the clouds, with the hovering chance of rain, it is a beautiful morning.
I got up this morning and felt better than I have in awhile. I think I am finally starting to settle down and relax a little. These past few months have been very hard for me. So many things, so many emotions, pulling me in too many directions. I couldn't seem to get a handle on anything. I think I am starting to calm now. I feel the sense of inner peace trying to take over again. I missed it. I have missed waking up and stretching and just feeling ok. I have missed me.
There is nothing in my in-box at work. There are no emails waiting to be answered. No phone calls to return. I have a few odd requests here and there that I try to make fill up my day, otherwise the threat of boredom is taking over again. Project life. This is what it is all about I guess...
Onto another day!

Crazy…
Crazy...I did something crazy yesterday. I mean really, truly crazy. And I bet that I am going to love it.
I signed up for belly dancing classes but not only that - I signed up to be in the Fremont Solstice Parade!
Yeah - so - I am freaking out about this at the moment. Here are two things I can honestly say I have NEVER wanted to do. One would be belly dancing in public, the other would be, um, be in a parade. In fact I can honestly say I have avoided all attempts in my past to take part in a parade. And now... now I will be in one!
Holy Crap!
I guess I needed to push my boundaries a little....

Now it’s Tuesday…
Now it's Tuesday...Just in case the actual posting of the date in my Blog didn't give you enough information on what day it is, there it is again.
It's Tuesday.
So... Interestingly enough I am now planning a celebration for 200 people. I find this incredibly interesting for a few reasons. One being that I know nothing about Seattle and the surrounding areas, so coming up with a venue wasn't easy. Two, the "event" people that work for my company didn't really want to help all that much. I found myself making multiple phone calls only to find out the woman that I was working with neglects to checks her voice mail. So - email it is! Of course, by sending email, things become somehow convoluted and the details become lost. hhmmm.... I just don't think she really wanted to help me.
Thank goodness for old connections though. I was able to put an old (meaning I worked for her a few years ago, not meaning she herself is old) boss to work! Yeah! Not that she really needs to work more, I am sure business is really good for her. It always has been. But she put together a great appreciation gift idea for me. Which is just fabulous.
Now we have entertainment, a venue and gifts! All I have left to do is figure out the music (oh my, someone put ME in charge of music?) and the slide show (again, someone put ME in charge of a slide show?)
With all these details I think I have come to a very serious conclusion. I am going to elope or get married in Vegas. I know, thinking about marriage when you aren't even dating is silly - but still. I really don't think I am cut out for big party planning. There are so many things that I would never think about. So many details that would escape my attention. If this goes off with out a hitch it will because of Brad - not I. I'm not a party planner for sure! I guess there goes another possible career path
Okay - I need to catch a bus. Hope everyone had a nice Tuesday!

Okay….
Okay....As I was stumbling around the web and happened upon this web site ugly wedding dress of the day. I was cracking up! It was so funny that I had to share with a woman in the office who is getting married this summer. She was laughing so hard we in turn had to share with others...
As a thank you for sharing my site - she shared this with me: Ghetto-Fabulous. Some of the comments are a little harsh - but the pictures! I am just really hoping that this was a winter wedding....
But really - just in case you were thinking otherwise - I am not thinking about a wedding for myself!
Elizabeth is NOT getting married anytime soon. (I have to find someone to marry first!)
As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
