It's amazing how the mind works. There I was at work this morning and as I usually do at the start of each workday, I checked out the new deals on Groupon. I want to find something fun and girlie to do with Amy and Lynne, my two best friends, on our planned Girls Day Out in the City in 2 weeks. There's always some sort of spa or mani/pedi package on there. (Ok, minus the haircut which actually has turned out to be wonderful after I came home and figured it out!). Well no good spa deals today, so then naturally I flip over to Living Social for their daily deals. Nothing great there either. I hit their little 'escapes' tab and my eyes shine with glee. I see all these wonderful trips and warm places that have some pretty good prices. But then my mind goes into 'then I'd hafta wear a bathing suit and also nice summer clothes', which then takes my mind to my joining Weight Watchers this coming Monday. I think of all the fun my kids would have if we went somewhere warm and fun, and that inspires me even more to get fitter. (more fit?? - whatever). Then I decide I will do it. I will get myself into a comfortable place physically over the next few months so we can do a vacation somewhere. But then there's the money. Hmmm, this leads me to think about starting a little vacation fund and putting away a few dollars each week. Hey, even if I never make it out of Manhattan I'll still have a few dollars saved up for next Christmas. I proceeded to spend the next 6 hours basically in la-la land on my iPad planning and researching and comparing all these vacation deals. It's one of the rare times I actually ran the battery down to less than 50% ! It's also a good thing my boss doesn't pay too much attention (although I really was still working.) In the end my final goal is to go on an 8 night cruise to the Bahamas next January. That gives me enough time to save and lose. Haha! I'm so clever!
More thinking - now that the holidays are over and a New Year is here, it's time to get back to business with Goodiebites. I'll be working on my ideas for Valentine's cake pops. Think we'll also introduce some new flavors - perhaps a raspberry flavored cake pop - either chocolate raspberry cake inside or maybe a raspberry flavored coating. I welcome any cake pop thoughts or suggestions (heyyyy, not THOSE kinda suggestions!)
Here's my final parting thoughts -
1- Daydreaming sometimes formulates true life goals.
2- A day at work is a wonderful thing to waste (as long as you don't get docked)
3- Groupon is addictive.
4- Planning a vacation for next year really didn't help me at all decide what to do in 2 weeks.
5- My friends should order some cake pops at www.goodiebites.com to help me raise vacation funds :)
