Day 19 - A picture and a letter/ A skill you'd like to learn

A skill you'd like to learn: I would love to learn to play a guitar...while I most likely will never learn this, because I’m so awkward with absolutely no coordination… In the back of head somewhere I think it would be really cool to play some of my favorite songs on the guitar.

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity/ Something you are afraid of

Something you are afraid of : Snakes…, any and all. Especially water snakes...yuck, yuck, yuck!!!!! Honestly I don’t think I could even say I’m afraid of them, more like terrified!

Today's Gift, October 10th, 2011

Having the time to work on things that I wouldn't be able to if I were home!

October 2011.. Back to the drawing board!

Well that was nice!!!! 2 weeks away from work, enjoying some much needed time with my family and away from the stress of work. Well sort of!!! In a way, as much as I wish I never had to go to a “job” again, I’ve  come to realize I work well when I have a schedule and some sort of plan for the day… oh and my husband will be glad I’m back to work so I’m not bugging him and driving both of us crazy!

So here it is, Oct 10^th, 21 more days of this month…and so far I haven’t done much ;))). Well I did enjoy my vacation and I started watching Twin Peaks.  I’m on the 2^nd season about a quarter of the way through it. I wish I had realized sooner that today was a holiday and I could have watched the last bit on my laptop.

Oh well so here’s where I’m at with my October Challenge: (what I still need to work-on)
