Halfway through November

I know that being busy is a great thing but damn, where did the time go? I feel like I blinked and lost two weeks. The only reason I have the time to sit and type this up is because we are eating dinner with the parents tonight and they picked Chloe up from school. Billy is working late so I came home to let the puppy out and feed the cat. I have been busting my hump working these two jobs and last weekend was the first weekend we didn't have a wedding or some other social event to attend. What we did with our weekend was build the chicken coop and had a movie night. I also started documenting all of the sales and make my Christmas shopping list! I know it's a little early but I like to get the co-workers, teachers, and friends done in November so December's money goes to Billy and the kids. Plus, I have an elf that will be arriving with an advent calendar on December 1st so I cannot procrastinate too long!
Job 1 just informed me that my family and I will be heading to Nashville this winter. I will of course be in conferences for a few days but Billy and Chloe will have the time to explore the city. We will also get to visit with our amazing friends in Tennessee and I cannot wait for that. It will be so much fun to have the whole gang together again and they promised to show us some Tennessee hot spots and even offered to babysit one day! I have already started scouting adorable winter gear for the Princess!
Job 2 is going amazingly. I cannot believe how fast my little business is growing. I think I may even get promoted this months, well, I am working hard to get promoted I should say. I had my Big Business Launch last week and it was a huge success. I've already had three potential clients just from an hour presentation. I am so thankful for my Rodan and Fields! My skin looks amazing and I'm getting extra money and incentives! I also love reaching out to people and I am really honing in my ability to talk to just about anyone only now I am teaching myself how to switch the conversation over to Rodan and Fields instead of how adorable Chloe is.
Billy is really working on his mini-farm. The chicks are a few weeks old now and a few are almost fully feathered. The coop just needs some paint and the run and our fowl can move into their new home. Shouldn't be that much longer and we will have all the eggs we can eat!
In my planning of the return of Mintzy the elf I have come across so many events locally for the season and I am hoping to hit as many as I can. I will also try to post some of the hot deals I find. To start, PhotoBarn.com has $9 Wooden ornaments on Cyber Monday! Just type in the code ORNAMENT09 I am definitely getting one or two of these for gifts. I am hoping for a day this week or next to write up a blog about the many wonderful things in my life that I am grateful for. So, please have patience with me as I am still struggling to find the balance!
