January 7, 2010 - With 10 minutes to spare this morning, I could have checked facebook or email...(or warmed up my car)... Instead, I made meatloaf. While thawing out the meat, I unloaded the dishwasher and brushed my teeth and actually had the bowl with eggies and breadcrumbs all ready. Already dressed and not sure if we even own an apron, I rolled up my sleeves and started mixing it all up with my bare hands…hoping not to spill anything on myself, for I had a presentation in less than 40 minutes!!! And I did it!!! Yeah for me!! Something to look forward to....meatloaf!
Then, I proceeded to my presentation which was on college and career planning at a local high school, and as usual, I asked them...”what words come to mind when you hear the word SUCCESS”. Heard the typical answers....money, family, happiness, meatloaf (what?)...I actually couldn’t get the word “meatloaf!” out of my head!! Yes, how things change when one turns 40...I felt successful this morning getting a meatloaf made!!! I am sure there is a profound metaphor mixed in the meatloaf somewhere....LOL
ANYWAY.....Tomorrow: seems funny to be excited about signing one's will, but that's what's happening....will sleep better at night now that this is done...and since I'll be in Kingston, I'll be stopping over to the DMV to get Bootie's car on the road, as my stratus is an eyesore.....and of course this is all after my morning presentation at Rhinebeck HS again...I better catch some ZZZZZZZZZZs....goodnite folks...Merry Meatloaf!!!! :)
