What's next?

I thought that I would start adding some thoughts daily to this blog and that just didn't happen, sorry. My week just seemed to be filled with too much to do and not enough time. I'll give you snapshot of what's been going on though and let you fill in the blanks.

Saturday -- Family reunion was a major success. Still getting calls and receiving notes from folk telling me what a wonderful time that they had. Check out the Zarling Heritage Facebook page (see link on the right side) to view all the wonderful pictures. Theres still more coming so check in from time to time.

Sunday -- Met Christie & Kent and Kent's folks at Maxwell Street Days in Cedarburg. Oh how I love browsing through the booths and purchasing needless necessities at a bargain price. We hit our regular antique shops in Cedarburg and then headed home for a nap . . . for Gregg of course, I had a zillion boxes to unpack from the reunion.

Monday -- Had an informational interview with a wonderful company, 'Energy Doctor'. The company's product line and Christian approach make this quite the intriguing proposition. However, it's 100% commission and their marketing model is not one that I'm comfortable with so I've decided to file it away. Met with a great friend and former employer of mine, Bridget Lazlow, for lunch. We've kept in touch since we both left Pilot and she now owns her own business with a couple of partners -- we talked and I'm thinking this might be that magic job offer that I've been searching for. Right now it's just part time but I can concentrate on school and my non profit work and still earn a descent living doing what I'm really good at -- consulting.

Tuesday -- Dug through the mess of unfinished projects that is crying for my attention and got a pretty good handle on them. Finished my homework and started to prepare for my mid term exam. This eight-week class schedule rocks.

Wednesday -- Registered for next term (Internal Economics -- yikes), ran various errands, listened to Dick Purinton's radio interview, took the kids to Lime Kiln Park, met up with Carrie, dropped off kids, packed for DC (Door County) and was in bed by 8:30! I wonder if Dick 'recognized' my voice when I called into the radio show to ask him to relate the Robert Nobel story --- mmm, how many 'Mary of Menomonee Falls' could there possibly be?

Today -- As soon as my laundry is done I'm heading up to the Door for some R&R, great friends, FOPPI picnic, and FOPPI annual meeting. I've learned of a real cool quilt shop in Sturgeon Bay and want to stop at the Flying Pig in Algoma -- perhaps I'll get there before Karen falls asleep?
