A great week so far...

I don't think I have ever been so busy at work, which is a very good thing. Last week I decided to start making small changes in my everyday life to see what the effects would be on my work life. It has been a very rewarding exercise. I have started a diet...if you call it that. I am drinking slimfast for breakfast and lunch, then I have a "more healthy" meal for dinner. I am trying to cut out the take-out/fast food side of dining. Living without a family means that I have to cook a meal that is small enough for me. That is so difficult. It is so much easier to just pick up a single serving for just one. However, I am putting that part of eating out to an end.

I am also trying to get a good night's rest every night; although last night I couldn't sleep. And, all these small changes are making a difference in my daily work. Yesterday, I closed a sale...YIPPIE! Today I have a meeting at 11 to discuss another possible sale. Then tomorrow, I have a phone conference set for 2 that is another sale to close. I am excited about getting involved with sales. It stretches me...I am not accustomed to selling a service. It is difficult for me to sell something if I can't see or feel it. But, the more I am involved with every aspect of the company, the more I am able to understand, allowing me to be more effective with sales.

My roommate, Brooke, moves this weekend. So, just Cappie and I will occupy 109 S. Kentucky! At first, I thought about getting a cat for Cappie to play with during the day, but I do not have enough energy to litter box train a cat. I will have to see how Cappie will adapts to being home alone once Brooke and her cat moves.

I had lunch with my parents' pastor yesterday. He is a great guy who truly has a pastor's heart. This was the second time we have visited over lunch. I really appreciate his concern and interest with me and my life. I have reservations about going to church with my parents...and I think Craig understand that. He understands that I am completely burned out on church. He doesn't criticize me about that; he can understand why I feel the way I do about church. He also wants to help mend some brokenness that my relationship with my mom and dad have. I have lots of questions, and he doesn't pretend to have an answer for all of them. He wants me to be me, just with the strengthening of God's power. I really appreciate his friendship.

I am so not a summer person. Other than shorts and a tan, I don't think I would miss Summer if we skipped from Spring to Autumn. It stormed a little last night, so that cooled the temperature a little. But with rain comes humidity. I hate humidity. When I lived in California, I hardly ever sweat. All I have to do here in Texas is step out the front door and I am covered in sweat drops. I wish the outdoors had a thermostat that we could set. Wishful thinking, huh?

Well, it is hump day, so I hope the downward slide to the weekend is pleasant for everyone! Talk with ya soon!
