Sunday Night Chit-chat (aka: March Break is OVER)

I don't want to go back to work.  I don't know when it happened but at some point I stopped loving my job. I now actively think about what else I could be doing....  maybe it's a midlife crisis ;)

I am participating in Carla's Sunday night chit-chat, and she even threw in some new questions (I love change!).  Starting off, as usual, with a picture.  I recently posted this on my Facebook page.



My husband knows it's true -  my dogs will lie on the floor right behind my feet so if I stand up, or turn around - WHOOOPS....  I often curse at them but they are always quickly forgiven.

  •  Are you reading:  I just finished the latest book by Patricia Briggs "Night Broken".  I plan on starting to re-read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon since the TV series is coming out.  So excited!
  • Are you watching:  Watched "Chopped" this evening.  There are a couple of new shows that I would like to try out.  One is called Believe and the other, Resurrection.  They just started like week so I am going to have to try to find them online.
  • Are you looking forward to this week:  Nothing LOL.  Cold weather, work, and a military function Thursday night (aka:  "forced fun")
  • Is one thing you did last week that you don't want to repeat this week:  Two days of medical appointments in Ottawa.  I hate that it is about 2 hours driving (one way) and that's if we have good weather and no traffic in the city....
  • Was your best moment over the last week? I don't know if I had a "best" moment, but I did have a bunch of good moments - which is nice.  As much as I complain about the long drive to Ottawa, if give me and hubby a chance to sit and talk.  Captive audience?
  • Is your #1 goal for next week? As sad as it sounds, I need to clean the bathrooms and start organizing room by room.  On a positive note, get a kick-start on Spring cleaning, 'cause Spring sure ain't here yet.
  • Song can't you get out of your head? I heard the song "Chicken Fried"  by the Zac Brown Band on the radio yesterday.  I love that song and have been humming it on/off since then.
  • Best/Worst financial decision over the last week?  Can't think of anything from last week necessarily but I would say the best decision was to get a financial planner to help us with our investments, primarily RESP/RDSP for the kids and our RRSP's and TFSA's.  Worst decisions has been some of the services, like our home security system and phone contract.  definitely need to revisit those - I know there are better options available.
  • Is on the top of your *wish list* right now?  Wish my neighbors would disappear.  Aside from that, looking on Kijiji for a chest freezer.
Created this darling card the other day. I  used some of my stash with Basic Grey "Capella" paper.  I used my sewing machine to stitch the borders, I was hoping it would show up more in the picture.  Also used a new (to me) Spellbinders die "Ironworks" to make the corner embellishment.
