Empowerment

Anybody read any good books about female empowerment/finding oneself? 

C took over my running endeavor since my ankle injury and now I feel like I need to find a 'thing'.  Right now my list consists of swimming and gardening.  Ultimately I think it's probably that I'd just like to belong to a group outside of anything I do with my husband.  Guess I'll need to do some networking.

For the Good of the Group

At the end of all of our staff meetings, we do a "For the Good of the Group" thing where everyone tells the group something positive that's going on in their life. 

At our last meeting two weeks ago mine was: I'm happy it rained.  Really.  That's all I could think of...pretty sad.

I'm already thinking about what I'll say tomorrow & I'm happy to report that not only do I have something better than rain to talk about, but I'll need to whittle it down. 

1. I'm a crocheter, not a knitter.  This weekend I decided I was going to become a knitter.  So I started on a dishcloth & can't seem to put it down.  I'm having so much fun--and I'm so impressed I was able to pick it up fairly easily.  I even contemplated getting up earlier in the morning so I'd have more time to knit before having to leave for work.  If only it were like that with my thesis...

2. Speaking of my thesis, I finished a very rough draft of my Results section.  I still have many edits to do, but the only section I have left is the Discussion.  Yes!

3.  My bro got engaged!  Woo!  So excited for a sister-in-law & niece!

4.  I started selling AVON.  It's been so much fun.  I had four sales for Campaign 16...which I thought was pretty good until I heard someone at the erepresentative meeting I went to last night talk about having 50 sales.  I don't care...I'm pretty proud of my four sales.  :o)

5. My friend finds out the sex of her baby on Friday...SUPER excited!  I live vicariously through others. 

Until next time...
