Hors d’oeurves

Monday, May 5th, 2008

This weekend being a long weekend gave me a taste of many
experiences in life that I compare with an appetizer, a delicious beginning of
more delicious things to come.

It all started on Friday afternoon with my long overdue
haircut, followed by a long overdue pedicure and a not-so long overdue massage (I have massages quite regularly, you see). I love having these treats for myself. Mothers often forget to have their ‘me’ time and I now diarise in advance my regular pampering sessions. It is unregrettable!

Saturday was business as usual. I had to 2 make up parties
and got to meet with the loveliest ladies. I also got to practise the strategic process of goal setting I learned 2
weekends ago from the life-changing seminar I attended which is called Time
Line Therapy. I was quite surprised how well it worked upon
application for this particular exercise. True enough the results the strategy said it would deliver, delivered its promise as I made double the amount I would normally make. I bested my
expectations. As I was driving home, I remember shaking my head due to the amazement of how well it all worked.   If I continue exercising this process to my business, and it does work, I can see not having to work for anyone sooner than later.  How awesome would that be?!

Sunday was a fun day full of games and food, and more games
for Missy’s baby shower. Missy (sis-in-law) is
due to give birth to baby Zac in about a month’s time and I’m very excited to have a nephew for the first
time. I remember when I had my baby shower. The opening of the baby gifts was more exciting than the gift-opening
during all of my birthdays combined!

Labour Day (Monday) was quite relaxing. I slept in until

9.30 am

and ambled my way through the day with
the chores. The best part of it was spending QT with XED. It’s amazing how quickly he’s grown up. He’s going to be 2 yrs old at the end of the
month -a baby no more! Today we did our drawings, reading and learning the
alphabets. To date, he can recognise 16 letters. Hopefully by the time he’s 2, he
can recognize the complete set of alphabets.

The experiences this weekend, I hope, will be a start of many more wonderful fruitful weekends to come.  :)
