Challenge 87: REALLY prepare for my call today

April 7, 2010

Twas another morning with three in the bed. And a night for that matter. Both Vaughn and the dog are getting comfortable having the dog on the bed, and I fear all my rules and boundaries are thrown out the window. I think they were a false sense of security anyway! It's so funny. I've never been a dog person, was never planning on being a dog person, never thought I would be a dog person, but yet am finding such joy with this big goofy dog in my life. Who would have ever thought I'd let that big, furry, dirty dog on my nice frilly white bedding!?!?! Not me..that's for sure. I think Lily said it best the other night when we were over at her house making dinner together and Coach had his face in everything she was doing. She said "I don't know how Sally puts up with this!" Then "I guess it's because she loves you." And it's true. I let so many of my OCD tendencies slide when he's around just because I love him. Good thing to keep in mind with people too. Hmmmmm....

So yesterday I got a lot done. I took myself to Peet's coffee to get some research and brainstorming done about raising money for leadership training. I love how a change of scenery really helps me get creative. I used to do that in college...go to a book store or coffee shop to get my studying and work done, and now I remember why. There's a certain amount of focus I have when I'm in a specific place to get something done. The change of scenery frees up my mind for new creative information, and I love the people watching. I was so much more productive than just sitting in my office. And I came up with some really fun ideas!

I also made the time yesterday for some studying and hanging out with my good friend Nick. We had dinner together at Burma Superstar (my FAV!) and then a drink at my janky neighborhood bar, then came home and read. Perfect Sally evening.

Today I have my certification pod call and a foundations session with my new client then band practice. I also have some errands to run and homework to do before all that, so after this post I'll be out the door.
