trying to get back on track

Well, it seems we have been going on vacations all summer. I love to travel, but have discovered that I do need my trips spaced out more. From June to August wasn't too bad. But, we no sooner got back from the August trip and it was time for our company to arrive and then go on another trip. After we got back from that trip, our company was still here for a few more days. I loved having them, we got along just fine, but I have to admit, it was nice to get back into a regular routine.

I think what would work best for me is to go on a long vacation every season and then a few long weekends here and there.

I wish that regular routine didn't include going to work, though. I thank God that I have a job now when I need one. HE makes sure I have a job--but I look forward to the day when I am able to put in my notice to quit so that I may stay home full-time to work on school and writing.

It is hard to keep up with everything. I am working on an organization plan to fit in all that I want to do.

Sarah and so many other people fit in all the things they want to do and I can, too. I just need to get myself into a pattern that works for me and not let anyone or anything interrupt me from teh things I want to do.

But, for now, it is time to fix dinner and feed the cats. They are looking for their dinner, so I better get to it.

Marriott Vacation Club

Bob and I joined the Marriott Vacation Club. I'm so excited. Finally, my dream of being able to travel all over the states and the world just got a whole lot closer. We pay an annual dues and monthly payments--but in the long run, we will save money when we travel. The trips more or less will be paid for by the time we take our trips--rather than trying to save and have one big lump sum within a few months. We'll be staying at some fabulous hotels and will be able to do some cooking in our room, which will save on food costs--and calories, etc.

I'm so excited about this. Now, I really need to study my languages! I want to be able to speak to people around the world in their own language--even if it's only a few words.

starting my business

I'm starting my freelance writing business. I have all the tools I need to write--my brain, books, office equip. I have decided to get serious and get started submitting stories and articles for publication.
