Sometimes ... pt II

Sometimes things just fall into place

Naturally

Just this week I completed a big project at work and it was met with instant email feedback of ‘Great job!’ from a manager. I was flabbergasted, my little project, my little website that I made up in MS Word is great and ready to be put into html and sent out live to the interwebs!? What!

My coworker and I are starting a book club with another friend of hers – broadening our reading palates as well as honing on the comforts of the books we know we will love

Zumba (which I attempted on maternity leave) starts up again in August, with a meet n ‘greet a week beforehand. Rearranging my work schedule to attend

Switching cell phone carriers and getting iPhones because a) it’s the 21^st century and I swear we are the only 2 ppl on the planet w/out smartphones and b) (the best part), it is saving us money, as the upgrade and the plan overall is cheaper than what we pay now

6am nursing sessions with my sweet boy who starts asking questions the minute I pick him up from his crib. Pointing and asking ‘what’s that?’ before settling in for his morning milk

Fresh from the farmers market sautéed zucchini, caramelized carrots, and Israeli (or as I call it fat) cous-cous for dinner while cozied up on the couch with my husband watching Master Chef

Sometimes

Things fall into place 

All by themselves
