The husband unit and I are so excited. We took the dogs for walkies this evening and went to the off leash dog park right by us. Tricksy is still learning to come back to us (and ignore the squirrels) but Mocha did us proud. Not only does she come back straight away when called but our nasty little bitch played nice with another dog named Dotty. She ran and played and didn’t get pissy once. She was also nice and didn’t start a smack down with the little dog that took a nip at her. Good dog Mocha!

As luck would have it I am able to take some time off of my “real” job and try and start doing the things I have dreamed of doing since I was a kid.  Acting being the main pursuit.

Since I was about 8 years old I have wanted to be an actress. Now, I don’t have to be a world famous, award winning actress. That would be nice but I would be happy having acting gigs that pay the bills and let me go on nice holidays.  Not expensive holidays, nice ones are fine.  So I am searching now for a new agent. I left behind mine in NM and they don’t cast outside of the state.

I am also working on getting my children’s book published, writing my other ones and possibly starting another at home business.  The problem is just getting myself out of bed in the morning and getting a schedule.

I think I need to work on really planning out my day. And since I am my own boss I need to motivate my own ass. After all, I actually have a limited time to give this all a go before I have to return to the “real” work place (if I shouldn’t succeed. Failure is not an option).

It’s true what they say about being your own boss. It’s tough work.
