Today was better. Today I got out of doing a 6 month project that I really didn't want to be a part of at work. And best yet, my enemy got stuck with it instead :)~ Karma's a bitch!
Ohhh, work. I'm really not into it. I want to do something else, and I don't know what. I want to go to culinary school, but I don't want to butcher animals, and I'm pretty sure that's part of it. Then I think, pastry school, but then I feel like that is just too narrow...Then I think about opening my own place, but after about 5 minutes, the thought scares the shit out of me. I don't know. I just don't know!
As for food, I did good today, I even got Alisa and I some healthy, albeit, not so totally yummy snacks, but I still made a good choice for us. It helped that I don't eat meat, and she's not eating dairy, so that narrowed the options quite a bit! I loved spending time with her and baby Luca Joe, that little boy is a heart breaker!
So my goal for tomorrow, to really start to figure out what I truly want to do with myself. I need to spend more time reflecting on this so that I have a goal and some direction, because career wise, I feel like I'm just floating around.
So tomorrow, I will be going to yoga, weather permitting (yeah, it's going to snow...AGAIN) I will be making food for super bowl extravaganza, and I will spend some time trying figure out what to do with myself when I grow up.
5 THANKFUL things
My Jonesy, I know I'm a weirdo, but I really love him so much.
Having any job at all. My husband was laid off for 14 months, don't think I don't know how lucky I am to have a paycheck!
Luca Joe's smile, so flippin cute, it made my day!
For losing 10 lbs, that feels good to say.
My friends, all of them, I am so blessed.

I've been going through my midlife crisis for the last couple of years. I feel it's come early, but what do I know :-) We will figure it out this year!! Seems like cooking/baking is your passion. I would explore more options. I know a woman who was a professional private chef and she never spent one day in culinary school. I'm not a vegetarian, but I can't stomach the idea of hacking up animals either.
ReplyDeleteOh April, you and I are so on the same page. I float from one thing to the next without any real direction or goal in mind. I need to find something I am passionate about - not just do it on the side but make it a career! What about being a vegan or an organic chef? I know they have classes like that here in NYC. Then you won't have to hack up dead animals.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of the biggest reasons why I started the follow through club. I have been wanting to change my career for YEARS but I put it off and I put off. Then I'm not sure if I'll be successful at what I want to do. Then the What if's. The cycle continues and I am still floating. I told this to Jenna yesterday but I am going to start mediating on what do I really want. To I want to be in service? Do I want to entertain? What does the best life for me look like? Then create an Action Plan. Go out and talk to Bakery owners. Call schools and just talk to them. Someone will take interest and people love to talk especially if they're passionate about what they are doing. I agree with Jenna, this is the year for all of us to do what we've been putting off!
