Who was the last person you hugged?
That would be my hubby. Right after I told him “You are my family!” We were watching Jericho, and one of the characters said that to her fiancé. :D

Soup
Share a beauty or grooming trick or tip with us.
Hmmm… Avocado on your hair to moisturize, I guess. It works!

Salad
What does the color yellow make you think of?
The first thing that came to my mind was the sun.

Main Course
If you were to make your living as a photographer, what subject would your pictures revolve around?
I would take photos of people when they are not looking. Photos of day to day scenes, everything ordinary.

Dessert
What was the longest book you ever read?
I think it was “Gone With the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell back when I was in HS. My friends kept asking if I was reading The Bible.

A New Earth

I’m all about self-improvement lately. From reading books to following weblogs, keeping good routines, and even joining Oprah.com to follow the webcasts about Eckhart Tolle‘s book “A New Earth – Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” – Yes, I said Oprah. Yes, I watched the specific show where she mentioned this book, and she had three panelists discussing positive thinking, self-confidence and the law of attraction. It was a godsend, and I thank my husband for making me sit on the couch that night to watch TV (not my favourite thing to do, if I may say).

The classes start on Monday and I’m getting ready to attend the first one. I printed out the first chapter workbook and I have a composition notebook ready to write down notes. I also requested to join a local book club to discuss “A New Earth” and I hope to hear from the leader very soon. I’m excited… So excited I’m actually anxious. I have to calm down. This is not college, this is self-improvement.

My life went from stand-by to full-speed. With a job hunt coming, joining the American work force, my permanent U.S. residence allowing me to do a lot of things I couldn’t “just” as a Canadian, planning to get a new car… The list is endless and it’s also encouraging. And I get to share it with someone who believes in me, my husband.

I’ve been putting myself down for years, thinking (or letting others make me think) that I haven’t reached my full potential. It’s time for me to realize that I have, indeed, done wonderful things in my life, and that this is a new beginning… A new place… A new earth.

Things that are making me happy today

  • John finally agreed to clean up his closet. He had way too many clothes he doesn’t use, and now I have two full bags of decent stuff to donate to good will.
  • We got surprise tickets for Matchbox 20′s concert tonight at the Sprint Center, and Alanis Morissette is opening the show. Can you say awesome?
  • I got my Green Card (which is really white) in the mail after only a week of being approved for residence. I also received my bank Visa check card. :-)
  • When looking at the price for the Smithsonian Magazine subscription ($119), I can’t help but feel proud of having grabbed an offer at the right time, and I only had to pay $12 for full membership.

    Have you ever played a practical joke on anyone?
    Yes, I have. As a revenge for my roomie who made me believe his leg was hurting a big deal. I hid his laptop in one of his bags, and didn’t tell him where it was for a whole day. I came clean when he said he was going to call the police and report a guy he knew.

    Soup
    What do your salt and pepper shakers look like?
    Salt shaker looks like any regular shaker made of glass with a metal cap. The pepper shaker looks like any regular crusher/shaker made of wood.

    Salad
    Where is the next place you plan to visit (on vacation or business)?
    Colombia! So my husband can finally meet my family, and I can meet his!

    Main Course
    What kind of lotion or cream do you use to keep your hands from getting too dry?
    I have St. Yves collagen and Eucerin calming cream. I have to keep my skin moist because my thyroid makes it crack.

    Dessert
    Make up a dessert, tell us its ingredients, and give it a name.
    Who do you think I am? Anna Olson? Pffft!
