anne's chit chat

What do I want to do in my life?

I do know for sure that I want to be happy and spontaneous and compassionate and thoughtful and kind and creative. And that I love people. I love meeting strangers and having conversations. And I love chit chat.

How do I use what I know to create things in my life?

Well, for starters I have been reading this book called, The Secret, and it is changing how I think.

It says – I create what happens to me. I attract what I want in my life. I control my thoughts and feelings.

But sometimes I get nervous and scared. I push things to the side. I hide under blankets. I procrastinate.

But NOT today!

So blog readers, Internet, world, I am putting this energy out there because I create my life.

I want to be a photographer!
I want to be a wedding photographer!

What happens next?

I know for sure that I will create it.

Yesterday afternoon, after walking around the house a few times, okay okay a little bored, I pulled out the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies. I tend to gravitate toward baking when there is nothing else pressing my schedule. Before the glorious wonders of wedding registries, I used to make these cookies by hand! It was definitely more of a workout. Now, I just pull out my Cuisinart Food Processor and whip up these puppies in no time flat. And they are delicious. Sometimes, just for a moment, I think that I could just eat all the ‘raw’ dough and it would be just fine and I would be happy…but then I realize that would be CRAZY.

Ummmmm, HELLO!

I just got a legitimate shout out on dooce.com today in the Daily Style section.

Yup, that’s me. Reader Anne. I AM READER ANNE!!!!!

Hello millions of Internet people!

Back in December I bought two Poinsettia’s from IKEA for $7.99 each. They are still thriving and I have hardly watered them.

But I think it might be time to get rid of them.

I mean I have tulips in vases for goodness sake!

Today at breakfast, I asked Paige if I should get rid of them.
She turned to me and said, “It might be time Anne, it IS March!”

Maybe I should put them in the basement and see if they last until next December?
At least I would be saving $16 dollars.

And in this economy, that is a fortune.
