This morning’s cup was to go. At oh so early (like the sun was only just showing the pinks and purples, early) on my way to a networking meeting, and then I finished my cup during the meeting.
As some of you know, I work part-time from home as an office assistant for Silver Sparrow Photography . Sunshine, the lead photographer and owner, belongs to a BNI networking chapter that meets every Thursday at 7 at a church clear across the metro area. She was not able to attend, so I went in her absence.
If you know me, you probably know these 2 things. I don’t like peopling, like introvert through and through. Which is strange since my career for 21 years was retail. But I also have a very good customer service demeanor and can be social if the situation is needed. Second thing: I’m totally not a morning person anymore… I don’t need to be. Heck, half the time, I’m in pj’s until way into the afternoon. So the fact that I was up, dressed, looking FIERCE, and out the door before 6:25 this morning was awesome.
Part of going to the meeting is doing a 30-second presentation/commercial for our company. Today, I read a recent review and then asked anyone who has used our services to give us a review on Google. We are 2 away from having 100 5⭐️reviews on Google.
Sunshine joined this group in August. I’ve subbed for her a handful of times now, and my nerves aren’t as bad talking in front of the group as they once were. Today was more people about a 100, I think, as it was specifically designed for visitors to check out the chapter and network with current members to see if they’d like to apply for membership with this chapter.
I did a bit of asking questions of my own before leaving as one of the companies does screen printing. I’m thinking of having t-shirts done up for the MS walk I’m going to do in May. Not sure yet what I’m looking for, but I was curious if it needed to be a big bulk order. Leaving the meeting, I was feeling a bit more awake… plus, the sun had been up for a couple hours now, so that helps.
I love living on the West side of town because that means more often than not, I get to drive towards the mountains to get home. You know, it never gets old, I’ve lived here more than half my life and I still get awestruck by how beautiful they are, especially when there’s snow on them. I did not take a photo, I was focusing on driving and the person going 5 under the limit on the highway in the left lane. But still, my view was amazing.
Getting home, I needed to pose for Scott as I was very proud of how FIERCE I looked in my business casual look. It’s fun feeling confident in clothing.
I love my jewelry cabinet mirror! Makes great fashion show selfies at home.
Do you see my boots? I’m in love… ok, you need a better look…
I bought them last June. It was before my diagnosis, but right as the feeling in my feet started to go away. Not that I was telling anyone yet… I was too scared and worried and wasn’t sure if maybe I just tweaked something. Anywho, it was a shoe shopping extravaganza with my friend Kat where I found them. They were (as were most the shoes) outside my norm. We had a blast and I bought a ton of shoes! I might now have a shoe obsession.
Fast forward to today… it’s the first time I wore them. And I not only love them but I rocked wearing them. Do you have a shoe obsession? I think I’ve only now started one because I can finally afford to have shoes that are for fun and fashion rather than function, and let’s be honest, I’d wear functional shoes into the ground… and then some. There’s still a few I should toss from rotation. Oh well, it’s a process, I guess.
But enough about shoes… here it is, just past noon. I’ve done a little bit more work since being home, but I totally should make myself the most kickass salad for lunch and get on with my day before Scott’s hockey game tonight.
So, for now, enjoy your cups today (I’m downing the last of my cup now) .
Peace, Love and happy sipping ❤️☕️❤️
