We are about 17 days now out from vacation. Milda is on Day 4 of her cleanse and I think I may start one next Monday. You know, one can never start these things on the weekend because with the lack of work, you prey on the fact that you can't eat anything and it drives you crazy. Definitely a better idea to start on a work day because at the very least, you have other things to occupy your mind.
After seeing a few of my contacts in Flickr posting 365 pictures, I decided to take a look into it. The 365 Project involves taking a self-portrait everyday for the next 365. As long as the picture is taken by you and includes a part of your body, it qualifies.
I think it's a great idea. Not only does it develop one's photography skills, but you also get to see yourself evolve over a year. Do you look the same at year's end or not?
2009 has brought some ups and downs.
DF has his shop up and running full time. It seems to be doing well and I am proud of his hard work. He is a great business man.
My job ended in February, which is better off since that job wasn't taking me anywhere, anyway. Very poorly run and managed, but either way... I'm glad it's over.
I've been venturing on some new opportunities. I should receive 2 job offers either later this afternoon or by Monday. Some fairly distinct pros and cons of each position to weigh.
Position A: Pros - Great job title, a step up from where I have been recently, tons of responsibility, great staff, fun working environment, can bring puppy to work with me, a real chance to show my ability and skills. Cons - no health insurance, possible low salary if I cannot negotiate higher, longer commute, room for raises but no room for advancement to a higher title.
Position B: Pros - fairly short commute, higher salary, full benefits, nice work environment, my own office, room for advancement and raises. Cons - lower job title, possible lack of enough work, dealing with multiple managers instead of managing myself.
So, as one can see, there is a lot to consider. We will see how it all pans out in the end.
On the knitting scene, I've opened my Etsy shop for NudistaKNITS! I had my first item sold with 12 hours of opening shop. I've recently finished up a ton of dishcloths.
Planning to update more this year. Life just takes it's toll and distracts you from... well, life...
First things first, there will be a new addition to the Nudist family. Her name is Kazumi, meaning harmonious beauty. We will call her Zumi for short. She is a Shiba Inu. We pick her up the Friday after Thanksgiving. She will grow to be 20 lbs and around 15-16 inches long.
Haven't updated in a long time! Busy busy busy. Yesterday was my birthday. Nate threw me a surprise party on Friday. It was soo much fun and he took me to dinner. Hibachi restaurant was great!
About a month ago, Milda came to visit while bringing her sister to the airport. Soo much fun!
I did not sleep well last night at all. My brain was running around in circle after circle. Must decipher what all ther nervous thoughts are about.
Haven't posted all week! It has been a little crazy. Working to try and get Baby Coats sweater done and it hasn't progressed because I've been helping fiance with the garage organization. I have the two front pieces done and some of the back.
Nate and I spent quiet time at home last night. I made spaghetti & meatballs for dinner. We watched TMZ while we ate... that show cracks me up. Some of the things they catch celebrities doing, it is hysterical.
I just about finished up my crochet hook holder last night... until I ran out of yarn just finishing up the button tab closure. Oh well, I'll just finish it with another yarn.
I also worked on my crochet needle holder. This is much smoother to work on. I only have about 25% left to finish it up. I love the yarn... very cute!
Today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day!
