TOOT TOOT!

No, I'm sorry, this post is not about farts - or trains.  But since I've got you here, read along. :o)

Rarely am I in the habit of 'tooting my own horn', in fact, for the most part I work CRAZY hard not to.  Most days I'm barely a blip on the map, let alone able to celebrate myself in a healthy way.  I haven't written in a while and I've had a crazy last couple of days - in which the keynote was a HUGE undertaking and subsequent SUCCESS - so I thought, what the hell, Right? :)

I hear on a pretty regular basis comments along the lines of, 'You're SO SMART!', but it for some reason it takes a really stunning accomplishment for that to actually sink in.  LOL  I'm super grateful to have just experienced one such accomplishment!  :)

Wednesday after work I returned a message left by one of my wonderful sisters, to remain unnamed.  She had called about some side work she wanted to offer me (code for she didn't want to do it herself and since she's THE BOSS, she gets to decide what to do and what to pay for - what a life!).  If you missed the recent events affecting my income, let me just briefly say that my past is catching up a bit and my income is being garnished at 15%!!  It was a no-brainer, no matter how challenging the project, or how tight the deadline to accept!

The project I went to work on Wednesday evening was to write 13 articles to be used in a SEM (Search Engine Marketing) campaign, for an industry I knew NOTHING about, and needed to be delivered to said sister 'Saturday'.  I later adjusted the deadline to allow myself ALL OF SATURDAY (12am Sunday), because when I really got into it I was scarred shitless!

Its been a CRAZY couple of days, but I just submitted ALL of the completed articles FOUR AND A HALF HOURS before the deadline!!  I'm so ecstatic!  I am in the midst of doing my Happy/I'm Amazing Dance, and I will honestly admit it's been too long since I got to do this!  Ya'll are missing out!  :o)

That's all she wrote, well not literally!  The end
