Taking on too much...

I realized today, with the month nearly half over, that I really have put too much on myself at once, and I'm not happy with the way I've prioritized things. On the 29th I'm leaving to go to Maine for a 5-day intensive course on the Raw Food Lifestyle. There are things I need to do in preparation for this course so I've realized that I need to adjust some priorities in order to accomplish it. I want to get as much out of this course as I can, and take full advantage of it, but I can only do that if I put more of myself into it, and right away. I'm investing a lot of money into this course...but it's something that's very important to me, and it's not only going to teach me everything about being a raw foodist, but it also gives me a teacher's certification to teach others if I want to go on to any type of career in raw foods. I'm really excited about it. This means less writing, but I'm still going to keep a regular pace. I'm happy that NaNoWriMo has gotten me back into the habit of writing regularly and the words are flowing again, so I know I won't have any trouble sticking to it, I just don't think the 50,000 words will have time to surface in the next 2 weeks, which is okay with me. I will finish the book, it just won't be by November 30th. I can't believe I'm leaving in just over 2 weeks! :) I have a lot to do...

Hi Debra,
Oh WoW! You are so lucky to go to the Raw Foodist course! I would have loved to do that! That is so neat! You will laugh.. Marissa told me today that she has decided to be a vegetarian. She was so funny. I asked her what that meant and she told me "No chicken, no fish, no meat, no way" I almost pee'd my pants. She informed me that I am to "no longer" feed her meat. Ummmm.. uhhhh.. we are all vegatarian (as you know) but the way she lectured me was funny. She has never had meat here, in fact.. the only meat in the house in the cat food. (the dogs are all vegetarian too) Gosh I love that child of yours!

LOL, I love it when she says "no way", it's so funny the way she says it, I know what you mean.

Thanks for your sweet words, she is very lovable, isn't she. :)
