well, that sucks, the guy in pirates of the caribbean was way better in my opinion that sean penn. oh and poor bill murray, robbed again, because he can only do comedy.

ok, who has been playing on the computer, whoever added the triple xxx favorites to the favorite list. Quite puzzling actually, because Gerald doesnt know how to do that, and Arianna wouldnt be silly enough to leave them on the list. hmmmm, maybe the wireless network is attaching it self to my computer

two hundred people crammed into one room listening intently to the information about the diamond mine project. That was how I spent my lunch, although I did get a free twenty dollar carved beef dinner out of it. Crystal's cough is better and her xrays show that there werent any problems so that is a good thing. It looks like I may be invited to a debriefing meeting for the PA Winter Festival Committee to assist them increase the reveneu and look at the marketing of the winter festival, hmmm that ought to be interesting. Unfortunately I wont get a twenty dollar carved roast beef dinner for that one.

The days are getting longer and warmer, the snow is disappearing, the roads and sidewalks are once again roads and sidewalks at least here in Saskatchewan, I suppose Halifax residents would have different story to tell. The next reminder that spring is around the corner will be the act of purchasing tax filing software.

perhaps this will be a fishing weekend, the weather looks good.

well, one of my proposals is getting national coverage. Different pages will be displayed on different days on the canadian child care federation website. Too bad I was getting paid national money. Perhaps I will be as fortuante with the next one as well. I never thought that our little pr campaign would draw so much attention

I seem to be having a satisfying day today, the weather is beautiful, I had a great vietnamese lunch with Arianna, I have two more leads for my business, consulting that is and now I am sitting back and relaxing and watching the news. tommorrow crystal comes home from staying with gramma and grampa, so much for relaxing in the evening after that, at least before bedtime. Later I will need to finish the marketing package i have been developing, i need only to add the narrative and the price quotes. So hard to know what will be acceptable, I think perhaps around $3250.00 that figure looks like it will work with this package. Not too much Not too little. well time will tell, indeed.

ahhh, how lovely indeed the luxorius scented bubble bath, steaming aromatic soothing, a bit of relaxation time. Nice even for someone with a stuffy nose. Alas, I must stop procrastinating and return to the design for my next marketing project. A digital camera would come in handy now.

happy valentine's day. especially to someone I happen to know who is craving chocolate. I have some, it was yummmy. Looks like snow for tomorrow, must be going to warm up. Oh well, as long as it doesnt storm. soon it will be Easter than it has to be warmer for sure.

A beautiful day indeed. Arianna found $20.00 and I may have another marketing project to work on. Those are so much more enjoyable than crunching numbers at the Chamber Office. Almost like an artistic endeavour, where one must combine appropriate artwork with complimentary, yet effective wording. I can just feel something in the wind, but I can't seem to put my fingers on it. There are a number of initiatives just on the brink of starting, initiatives which I could easily be involved in. I feel like the proverbial horse with the carrot in front of his nose, only in this case I can't actually see the carrot on catch a scintillating wiff from time to time. I also keep running across people who are constantly portraying themselves as professionals in areas where in truth, they are completely incompetent.

The universe is a teacher of patience. Today, I put my company brochures into the local career fair. I of course expected the phone to be ringing off the hook as excited technical students flocked to my new company. Knocking down the door to my office in their exerburance to initiate a lifelong challenging career in the exciting and variable world of temporary employment. No such luck, the phone hasn't rung once. Perhaps my expectations of the power of 38 brochures was a little high. Ahh life is such a joy. Patience has not often been one of my strong points. Patience and tenancity.

We had the most scrumptious breakfast this morning, in a quaint little restaurant in the older part of the city of prince albert. A lovely breakfast brunch cooked fresh, complete with tart quiche and eggs benedict, as well as fresh fruit and raisin toast. mmm mmm mmm. For the outrageous price of 4.99 per adult and 2.50 for crystal. It was so good we bought two loaves of homemade bread to take home with us. Grand Central Cafe on Central Ave, Prince Albert, check it out.

for such a long time , I have put off doing a formal business plan for any businesss I have wanted to or been involved in. I dont know why, some strange psychological block against formulating a concrete plan. Maybe because if I see in black and white ahead of time that my concept or idea is not a money maker, I will no longer have a reason to do it. Maybe because I dont want to know when my ideas wont work. Well, I did a business plan, mostly because we will need an operating loan and in order to get an operating loan one must have a well prepared business plan. Hah, if I follow my business plan I will actually make money. That is somehow a comforting thought. Of course I would like to make more money, but that probably will come with a better marketing plan. ohh money, money, money.

Flow and Synchroncity, are of course not just about pain, they are also about being part of a magical all encompassing universe. "Flow is the natural effortless unfolding of our life in a way that moves us towards wholeness and harmony." "By nature we cannot directly cause synchronicity to happen--yet it responds to our needs. It boggles the mind because it seems as though the Universe swings into place to give us what we need." Learn to listen to your intuition and follow what it says, learn to see the little meanings of everyday things, pay attention to what was meaningless before, relate it back to your reality, the direction will be clear. Quotations from The Power of Flow Practical Ways to Transform Your Life With Meaningful Coincidence.

Flow and Synchronicity, everything happens for a reason, if only to show us that we need to pay more attention to the signs around us which are guiding us. When an abrupt change in direction is required the pain that is attached to the decision can render us immobile. We weigh our selves down with the is it right, isnt it right, should i shouldnt i, will it be better, will it be worse etc. etc. It has been my experience that once a decision is made and a course of action is decided upon a great deal of weight is lifted, enough to allow us to continue in the new direction, regardless of difficulties on that path. It is said by many that pain is the true creater of wisdom.

The numbers of the outside thermometer are ever so slowly advancing towards a more acceptable level of warmth. unfortuanetly this is happening so slowly that my body still believes it to be -54, even though it is really -24. Crystal has verbally indicated her wish that it would be hot outside and we could go to the beach. aaaah if this were only so. Looks like might be good fishing for the weekend though. so far forcast is for -8 and sunny.

morning comes soon, work again tommorrow. I have just finished submitting a proposal, now I must wait and see if it is successful. Much like the nail biting period of the job interview the time in between the first hour after the interview and the next two days until the dreaded or anticipated phone call, of lack thereof. The next proposal is due February 16th, so, I shall be back at the drawing board again tomorrow.
