Just a little fun ...

aahhhh ... nothing to do!

Jelise and I are in Kauai, Hawaii! ;-)

We are here for Habitat for Humanity build on the island as the people here are still recovering the island from Hurricane Iniki that hit hard in 1992.

Today we meet the rest of our team for the building we'll participate in. I'm really excited to meet everyone.

Jelise and I came to the island a few days early to unwind and relax and soak up some sun before getting to the laborous work. It's been incredible. We've been staying at the Marriott Lihue Beach Club Resort and loving it! It's been so relaxing to have nothing to do but lay around in the sun and dip our feet in the water and drink a few cocktails!



Tomorrow our work begins ... so excited!

VOTE today!

Today I am heading in to the voting booth for local elections.

I'm only voting for one candidate for Pickerington City Council - Gavin Blair! I so hope Gavin pulls this off today!

And there is Issue 16 - the Library levy here in Pickerington. I will be voting yes for that issue.

Issue 2 - a statewide issue. This is for safe, locally grown and raised food. I am voting yes on this issue.

Issue 3 - This is to bring casinos to Ohio. I've been so back-and-forth on this issue and still do not know what I truly think. So, I'm skipping this one. Not casting a vote.

Good luck to everyone involved in Elections across the Nation today. I believe it's going to be very interested in New Jersey and Virginia!

Funny.

My sisters and my sister-friends. I love you all.

All. Over. The. Place.

Lately my mind is all over the place.  I have so much going on in my little head, that I'm jumping constantly.

I'm working on a few things for work.  Some marketing ideas and suggestions that are completely not part of how my place of employment has done things in the past, but something I've put a lot of time, research and thought into coming up with, and something that I believe will take us to the next level in an organized, scheduled, simple manner.  I'm very excited about it.  If I could just focus on completing the package for presenting to my boss.

Creative writing.  I'm taking a course at the local community college on creative writing.  I haven't taken a class since college, where as a journalism major, I did a lot of writing.  However, I wanted a refresher and wanted to explore some creative styles of writing, as I'm a more matter-of-fact "reporting" type of writer.  This course has me so intrigued.  This has my head just spinning with excitement and various ideas for projects and such.  It also includes a ton of homework. So that definitely is keeping me busy.

Planning.  Planning.  Planning.  I'm also planning my wedding set for September 2010.  This is very exciting, but also a lot of work.  And, my attention is more into the creative writing and marketing plan right now. 

Habitat.  My involvement with Habitat for Humanity is very exciting right now.  I just love being a part of this organization.  Currently I am working on the Autumn newsletter for the local affiliate where I serve as a member of the board of trustees.  I want to come up with more relevant and innovative ideas for the newsletter, fundraising, and awareness.  This has me researching all over the internet, at the library, etc. etc. Very fun!

Then there is my other passion.  Financial planning and management.  I can't get enough information on this, even when some things I am reading are reiterating other things I've already read, I'm still intrigued!

And, other future planning.  Real estate, career development, etc are also increasingly demanding my attention.

Well - I am rambling ... I better get back to it!

Note:  Great Book:  "The Question Behind the Questions" by John Miller.  Check it out, it's a quick read!

Love this song!
