The grass isn't always greener.... or is it?

My horoscope the other day said , "People may try and burst your bubble by making you feel like the grass is greener on the other side. Sit back and realize that the grass is just as green as you need it to be in the very spot where you are sitting."

This really, really spoke to me. Especially because at the time I was sitting in a hotel room in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had just returned from having dinner and drinks with my co-worker/partner. It had been an especially crappy day for me at work. I hadn't sold much on what was expected to be the busiest day of the whole expo. It wasn't for lack of trying on my part but it was what it was. This is just what I needed to hear while being so far from home.

These days while being on the road traveling from expo to expo I think about the following things: closest free wifi, cell reception and the nearest restaurant/grocery store. While I am just getting started at this new endeavor I have these fleeting thoughts about whether I made the right choice. Should I have taken the standard 9-5 desk job because it is the "safe" choice? Because it guarantees a steady income and health insurance? Or do I take the path that is less certain?

Friday

I was able to lose a bit of weight when I was sick, and I want to continue to do so. (Lose weight, not be sick.) So I went for a run today. Now I use the term run loosely, it really was a slow jog. But still... I was exercising!



See my horrible red face. I was still worn out from the run!

Today was awesome. We had scrabble dinner night! Now I'm not usually a scrabble lady, but this was fun. Jesse ended up winning, and had to gloat about it. Also he had to give Annie a horrible back massage. It was hilarious.

Wednesday

Today was an awesome day, but I forgot to take any fun pictures. I just took a few random ones. Like Jesse drinking out of our water pitcher.



And the books I've been reading while on the bus.

Today just highlighted why I love Annie, Kathleen and Jesse so much. They are ridiculous, and fantastically wonderful.

I felt the need to dress up for school today. I wanted to be cute, and have a sense of fashion. I tried to take a picture to show the outfit, but it just ended up looking wonky.

Jesse made a lemon meringue pie! It was awesome!
