My way or the highway

Ha ha – I’m not that much of a hag (I don’t think)!!

I was giggling out loud AT (compared to “with”) my husband, driving down the highway this weekend. For 2.5 years I’ve been the main driver of our Volkswagen Jetta. We recently added an SUV to our fleet, so we’re sharing vehicles now.

I got into our car on Saturday and had to laugh. My husband had the car for a mere 2 days and had changed lots of features!

My loving husband set the speed warning a long time ago! However, EVERY time it goes off – I think of him. I thought you’d get a kick out of this. Does your vehicle have this feature? Have you or someone in your life “set” it to warn you of speeding?

If you’ll notice the “time” in this picture, I typically set my clock 20 minutes fast. I know that I’m not the only women (I mean person) that does this – right? John reset the clock to the EXACT time. Hmm… SO I changed it to 10 minutes fast – I’m going to make a game out of this!!

Happy New Week,

Creative Place

Happy Sunday!

This afternoon, I had John drop me off at Starbucks while he went to the gym for a workout.

I went for a 5km run with him this morning and that was where (I currently) draw the line for aggressive daily activity!

By leaving my house, I felt that I could unleash my creativity. I had a feeling a cat nap might be the only thing I successfully completed this afternoon, if I was left home alone!

Do you have a place where you escape to, to be creative sometimes?

Hope you’re having an amazing weekend.

Cheers,

Home Office

I truly love working from my home office. If you love what you do, you never work another day in your life.

Goals of mine have been to improve my time management skills and to keep my office cleaner.

In a perfect world – it would stay this clean. I love coming home to an organized office with a clean desk and floor!

Ha ha!! The reality is – life gets in the way! Yes, to my Type A friends and followers – I tend to fly by the seat of my pants and have a bit of chaos going on in my workspace.

YIKES – it doesn’t take many weeks for my office to return to this state!! I fly in and fly out!! It’s constantly a work in progress.

I love having my office on the main floor. I always dreamed of having a door with glass in it, so I could make calls and smile at John through the glass. I’ve been informed that won’t be happening anytime soon – my office disaster drives John bonkers!

SHHHH…I have a surprise for him though – I’ve been working on my office the whole week he’s been gone!

Spring Cleaning at Chateau Beazley launched on the 1st day of Spring!

 

I truly believe the energy present in the place you’re working – makes a huge impact on your creativity and productivity!

 

What MOTIVATES you about your office space?

What 1 thing can you do RIGHT now that will improve the energy of your space?

Mirror

I spend a lot of time on my own (which I’m completely fine with!) – since my hubby travels a lot for work.

This "free time" is when my creative, entrepreneurial, productive juices flow best. Many hours/days, I can be found in my home office (which I’m in love with – not literally). The energy of the space is amazing – I get so much accomplished.

About a year ago – I got a mirror for my wall. I wanted to SEE myself while sitting at my desk. Time fly’s by when I’m working on the computer and often – I need someone to hold me accountable.

SO – the mirror was so that I could keep an eye on myself!! Sounds a bit creepy I realize, but catching myself in the reflection – wakes me up and gives me the impression that someone is "watching"!! Well – this mirror went up on the wall close to a year ago AND it was TOO high. If l looked over – I could see the top of my hair – IF my posture was good enough at the time!

Can you see the top of head in the bottom right corner – no good!!

WELL – today I took matters into my own hands. I put more holes in the wall – by lowering it!

It fell once – making a little gauge in the frame – but only I know it’s there!

If you walked into my office – you may think it looks a bit strange hanging so low – BUT it’s for me and no one else! He he…when you spend as many hours tackling your entrepreneurial ideas looking at it eye level as me – it’s perfect!

Do YOU have a mirror in your office / workspace?

P.S. SOOOO – this is your warning notice John – don’t be mad. I put 2 more holes in the wall!

P.P.S. I got a new haircut (WHOLE other story on its own – it didn’t happen on purpose – this is a terrible picture of the new style!)

Did You Know?

This video was posted on YouTube over a year ago and I’ve seen it a few times. However it still amazes me every time I watch!

It’s wild to wonder what we’ll be doing in the future.

Save Some Money…Save a Tree

I LOVE receiving the Smart Cookies daily tips to my Inbox!  Thought today’s could remind all of us to do our part – small, baby steps at a time to make a difference! I’ve taken it upon myself to be greener in 2009 and have started recycling much more!

1. Save Some Money…Save a Tree
Here’s an easy way to save $100 (and a few trees) on printing this year. If you need to proof read a document, select the “draft” printing option which uses half the level of printer ink. Also consider selecting the “fit to one page” option will save you from spilling over a short document onto two pages… Also saving you on paper.
