Irons in the Fire (which is where I believe they belong)

For those of you who knew me PP (pre-Pregnancy) you know that I am never only doing one thing...I LOVE projects. 2006 was consumed with the project of being pregnant and the project of beginning a life with the Princess. Now that 2007 is underway and I discover that my quasi-employer has become my entirely-former employer I have embarked on some new projects and tangents...I also have a list of unprojects...things I will NOT be doing again soon.

The Going Forward With List:

• Macabrekins - developing and marketing an off-kilter collection of plush toys and writing stories of their adventures
• Magazine articles - took a course at UCLA, made a list of mags I want to write for and a list of topics - traveling with small kids, traveling with LARGE pets, cooking in a small kitchen, becoming a parent at "an advanced maternal age," unique roadtrips and realistic wardrobe planning
• Writing clients - ONLY THE KIND THAT CAN PAY and that have something interesting to promote like E-Spec
• Exercise - daily walks plus getting back into yoga and maybe doing some pilates!!
• Foodie Pursuits - Solstice Supper Club (more on that soon), Wine Geek Club - perhaps should be Grape Geek for sake of illeration and some classes at Sur La Table (if only for the in-store discount you get on the day of the course)
• Mastering the Martini - searching for the perfect one
  

And the Anti-Projects:

• No more book clubs for a while - I literally have 45 books waiting to be read (including the five I checked out from the TO Library today) - but if I did have a book club - it would be for new moms only and the first book we would read would be this one! Actually any of these!
  
• Writing Clients - that don't or can't pay...no pro bono unless its Bono and then we can talk because Pro Bono is different on so many levels that pro bono
• Stressing out - its overrated and I am over it!
  

Oh, and ironing...I don't do it, won't do it, hate it...irons = ick.
