Into the Unknown

So this is it, tomorrow night is my first Latasia party and then another on Saturday. I'm walking confidently into the unknown. I've always been very scared of starting new jobs. This is most likely why I stay at even jobs I hate for a very long time. The good thing about this job is there isn't much for me to do in the way of product demonstration. I don't have to memorize lots of details and I don't need to do any pricing myself (what I didn't like about selling my cakes). However I do feel that this business is a lot more about me. If I'm personable enough or if I am able to generate enough interest. It's a good thing I'm working on my confidence and self esteem because these things would be terrifying a few years ago.

So just a short post today as a sort of pick me up to prep for this weekend. Crossing my fingers that things go well. I think it should be great and if worst comes to worst I still will have a fantastic time visiting with friends and family. What can be wrong with that?

Anna Karenina By Leo Tolstoy - A Book Review

When the movie Anna Karenina came out a while back I had a mild desire to see it.  However, when movies come out that are taken from novels, especially classic novels, I will usually read the book first. It sort of slipped my mind for quite a while though until I found it as a free book for my Ereader. Quite a few years ago I remember this book was one on Oprah's Book Club.  One of the first things I found myself questioning was whether or not she ever even read anything more than liner notes or coles' notes at best.  This is a long book....I mean really long.  This is coming from someone that has read the Game of Thones series (A Song of Ice and Fire).  What make this book seem so long is all the superfluous information you encounter at every turn.  I seem to recall that it was more than 10 chapters before Anna was even introduced.  Though the side story is pertinent and somewhat interesting, it can often overshadow the main storyline. What also m...

How Much Is That A Baby In The Womb

There is a petition making its way around stating Tell Harper: Hands off our reproductive rights.   This is because on the 26 th of April (today) Stephen Harper is apparently going to allow Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth to put forward a motion in the House of Commons which clearly opens the possibility of re-criminalizing abortion.   I have read this motion, Motion 312 and it is one asking that a committee of the House be appointed and directed to review the declaration in Subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada which states that a child becomes a human being only at the moment of complete birth.   This committee would be asked to submit their findings after 10 months on what medical evidence exists to demonstrate that a child is or is not a human being before the moment of complete birth. I suppose the concern of allowing this motion to move forward is the fear of what the findings would mean.   IF they find there is evidence that a child is a hu...

Money, the Root of All Evil?

I'm thinking in a few directions this morning and having trouble deciding what one to talk about. One can be a bit of a sticky subject but some of my thinking was slightly altered about this last night. I think I'm going to talk about money, dun, dun, dun! Money is one of those conversations that tends to be avoided but avoiding something doesn't make the problem go away. Thankfully Randall and I have a similar approach to money, we are both sort of cheep. If I'm going to buy anything I'm going to try and make sure it's the least expensive way I can get it. Randall tends to be the same way. This is helpful for our marriage since 2 people with very different spending styles can have a lot of conflict. I'm not saying we don't have problems at all, we definitely do, just not really with our spending. Part of our spending style I think might have a fair bit to do with necessity although even when we were both working and didn't have kids ...
