Robin Eggs and Hairy Legs

by heatheracton on April 10, 2009

I need a place to capture some ideas I have (creative, personal improvement, memories, etc.) so I thought where better a place than my blog. I’ve always been a fan of consolidation. I wonder if there’s a Facebook group for that (brb…).

1. I think I could live off of Whopper’s Robin Eggs. Except that they are only sold for about 2 months out of the year. So I’d have to plan ahead and stockpile for the 10 months that I couldn’t purchase them.

2. In total opposition to #1, I am thinking about writing a log of what I eat in a very public place, like my blog or Facebook page, to kind of embarass myself out of eating what I do. If I just gave up the sweets (probably 500 calories a day for me…ugh…already embarassed), I’d lose a pound a week. Committing to writing this log, however, would be committing to change, and for some reason I’m just not ready. I think I’m scared of sugar withdrawal.

3. I really am SO excited about the semi-launch of my freelancing career! With two official clients and most of the HTML training behind me, I feel like I have made a great start. The blue, seriously page is just so much fun for me to brainstorm about. The home page is simple right now, but the ideas just keep flowing – from a music player to a fan club to a twitter feed to ads. I just can’t wait to put it all into action.

4. With that, I am also excited about the forming of my business. I can’t wait to learn more about the legalities, business, marketing, and development aspects of what I am doing. For once, I feel totally energized to learn and do and teach where I can. Isn’t that what a passion is supposed to be about? And I really did think I was passionless….that my only real lasting interests were my family and friends. But I believe this has been right under my nose for some time.

5. I’m getting more motivated to get Joshua into his big boy bed and Addy into her crib. We’ve been putting it off for some time, but I think after a week of generally better sleep I am ready to commit to getting them to sleep in more permanent quarters. After that’s done we’ll take on the potty training!

6. Oh! I finally did shave my legs after about 2 weeks (this is a LONG time for me – normally I have to shave 1/day in the summer to avoid obvious stubble). Here are the before and after pics:

Before

After

After, in a more casual look becoming of me

7. By the way, there is no Facebook group for “consolidation,” or for “laundry,” another something that I am mos def a fan of =)

Kiddies are starting to awaken, so off I go to my day job!

    Did you leave P&G? Or is this in your off time? Or just until you come back? Sounds like fun work.

    I did not quit P&G, I’m just on maternity leave. I’m addicted to the internet and love learning about design/development, so we’ll see where it goes!

    BTW – enjoyed your page “thosejohnsons.com/~matt”!!!
    Hope all is well with your family!

    Hi Heather, I am the GM of the Bakers Square in Gurnee. Thank you fso much for your great comments about our location. I would love to treat you and your family to a meal on us. Please give me a call when you can so I can get more info so we can make this happen!

    I did want you to know that as a company, we are working towards upgrading our appearance inside and out…Currently, we are offering free pie on Wednesday to people dining in and running lots of coupons to help our community during these diffcult economic times. This makes it almost imopossible to do upgrades to the building…we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the economy turns around and we can make the necessary changes.

    It is very much appreciated when guests submit feedback on our website. I encourage you to send your opinion, good or bad, regarding anything…in this case, the interior might be something you’d like to express an opinion about. Feel free, there’s always someone on the other end who takes guest comments very seriously. We can’t promise when, but the remodels should be coming as soon as economics will allow.

    Again thank you…You write with great expression and I was very proud to read your post.
