Doing things Differently

Fortune favors the brave. So who would have thought that my plight to become a better person, thereby changing everything about my life, would also involve me becoming more fortunate than I already am? Either someone is reading this blog or I am just one of the select few to be able to say that I actually am special.
I do believe that when I changed my life, accepted certain offers, changed some, and threw others out the door that I was "brave." It takes a courageous person to come to terms with the fact that I may face some extremely hard times in the future all for the sake of the long run. The end justifies the means right? I accepted the offer to grad school and as it turns out, there is someone watching my every move. Because of this acceptance I received a rather thrilling phone call this evening, albeit interesting, questionable, and down right confusing. My mysterious phone call ended up in me becoming part of something even larger than I ever thought possible. Plans are still the same, however much greater and I cannot wait for life to move forward even more. I wanted independence and freedom and success and now I am getting all three and more. Bravo to Sunday. Changed my life.

Enough mysterious banter, last night I celebrated my mothers bday with my great friends and her. She had a fabulous time and thanks to everyone who came! I dont think I have ever met someone who didnt think my mom was fabulous and you guys made her day last night so thank you for that, she was so happy. Although, I think I drank too much. I guess its okay if it was in the name of the woman who is the reason I'm alive! However, I guess now with everything going on it was also a farewell to the booze bus. Its a worthwhile trade! The next few days will be so busy with moving and some work I'm booked for but I think in the end I will be so content, one week today things will be almost perfect in my little life. I am so tired but I'm happy to say I am still able to make a mean over easy egg, you know the over easy egg is not as easy as the name makes it out to be. You have to make sure you fip the egg without letting the yolk burst and flow all over the place creating a disgusting over easy egg. I did it twice this morning kids, thats right, I am a chef of so many talents. First, I made a lovely steak dinner the other night complete with scalloped potatoes, some great filet mignon wrapped in bacon, and an amazing asparagus and vegetable side, also of course my famous arugula salad. Then, there was my apple pie, which as you all know who tasted it, was literally a slice of heaven. This mornings pemeal bacon and over easy eggs completed this weeks round of great food cooked by yours truly. Perhaps I should open a restaurant one day in the future? lol. But seriously, I'm on fire in the kitchen! I shouldnt jinx this by bragging though so I'll shut up for now. Well, I am dead tired and off to make some chocolate chip cookies for my nephews as I'm taking care of them tomorrow and then its definitly time for bed! Until then here is a quote from the book I am reading "The Snowball: Warren Buffet and the Business of Life" he's a good friend of my father and uncle and a very interesting man to say the least. He's also hilarious and in this book he talks about the ups and downs of life, how he got through it and how he made himself who he is today.
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently".....you can say that again.
