The Good Life

Lately I have been LAD....similar to LTD.  Opposed to Living THE Dream, I say I have been Living A Dream.   As an achiever my dreams are constantly changing, but I can admit that right now...Life Is Good.  I'm in love with: my job, my best friend, my health, my family.  What more can a girl ask for.  Well...ok, no I won't go there.  Although there is always room for improvement, I know I'm blessed. 

Yesterday was the awesomest, yes, awesomest, day at work ever.  I got caught up on the last 45 days of reconciling closing paperwork and sending it to corporate (a task that should be done daily, but has been neglected with our departments management change), I have created a streamlined version of our business binder (includes my DH Daily Walk through/tasks, team member daily duties for opening and closing, as well as a communication log and a business tracker), participated in our DH/Leadership meeting, and to top it off got to enjoy craft time for a majority of my day.  All at Work.  I think I have found a true fit.  I get to utilize all my talents, and daily.

This weekend we are hosting a Spooktacular Open House, in honor of Halloween.  Slowly we have been transforming our sleek and sophisticated lobby into black and orange Halloween fun.  As a leadership team we put our brains and creative juices together to design an exciting Saturday including pumpkin painting, cookie decorating, HallowWiin Contest, trick or treating, and photo booth opportunities.  Our OPS guy went and bought some wood, our talented GM drew a Halloween scene with the characters faces cut out, and the BA and myself went to town on painting.  It was a blast.  So Saturday, if you aren't busy you should come over to Bloomington North Life Time Fitness and have some Halloween fun from 10-1.  We will all be there, in costume, ready to party.


Continuing the dream, we all got home last night and had some dinner, and then had some family fun playing Tetris Party for the Wii.  Suuuper fun.  Lots of laughs.  Before I got too carried away, I cut myself off from the Wii and went to bed by 10:15. (Previous nights Barbi and I have been up playing Tetris til 12:30...makes for a rough morning).

Thursday mornings are bittersweet, because I don't have to go to work at BN-LTF...but then again, I don't have to go to work at BN-LTF.  When you enjoy your job as much as I am right now, its kind of sad - but I know time away is important.  Rather, I do whatever I want for the morning, and work at the Chiropractic clinic in the afternoon/early evening.  Thursday mornings I usually get up, have an awesome breakfast (eggs, apple, oatmeal, and coffee), kick it with the puppies, and watch Holmes on Homes with Clint.  Which has been exactly the case this morning. We love this show; although it makes me leery with wanting to purchase a home in the next year.  You never know what you are getting into.  Oye. 

Last week, and likely today in a little while, I will get outside for some fresh air at Lebanon.  Like I said, Living A Dream.  Loving the fall weather, the bright blue sky this morning, and that cool crisp air.  So I should probably wrap this post up and get my rear in gear.  

Looking forward to Saturdays Spooktacular, followed by FALLIDAY.  For those of you who don't know Falliday is the holiday in between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Falliday is when I get together with the women from my moms family (gma, aunts, aunt from Texas comes to town, sister, and cousins) for a girls day.  Previous Fallidays we went to a vineyard/wine tasting and a boat cruise in Stillwater.  This year we are going to go to some retail locations, a coffee/wine bar, and a well known Italian restaurant in St. Paul.  So stay posted for more Falliday news and recap.  




Have a BEAUTIFUL day.  "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." -Robert Brault
