It was go, go, go

Phew, what a weekend! This mom, business owner and cottage-goer went full-tilt from one end of the weekend to the other, starting Friday night when I ordered in a little sushi for me and made ham sandwiches for my girls, age four and six. Surprise, surprise...the six-year old asked to try the sushi and before I knew it, she had devoured half of my order of Dynamite Rolls and a bunch of the avocado and cucumber rolls. Next time, I'll have to order more knowing that she now eats sushi (at age 6, I never would have thought...).

Proceed straight into Saturday, which was spent busy being leisurely (yes, I realize that's a contradiction). Here's me in my various poses:

And in this picture, I feel compelled to explain that I had switched to Oprah magazine after taking a break from the very serious Michael Porter book Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors (lest you think me all fun and games):

I'm totally mesmerized by the rocks at my parents' cottage on Lake Winnipeg. I couldn't resist sharing this photo. Notice the range of color and texture. Simply beautiful, aren't they?

Saturday night, I spent some time getting my lists organized. Have you read David Allen's book Getting Things Done? I read it in July and I've been working on getting all of my to-do's out of my head and onto lists, thereby freeing my brain for more interesting and creative thoughts than "Don't forget to return the library books" etc.

Sunday was filled with more relaxing and we capped it off with an engagement party for my cousin Matt and his financé Lauren. I forgot to take pictures of the people, but I did get this one of the cake. It tasted as good as it looks!

So now it's Monday and work promises to be fun and interesting today. The morning: emails and my regular Monday morning operations meetings. Afternoon: five straight hours of branding lead by the dynamic Petra (our marketing manager) and hosted by Stephanie (our operations manager) at her house. I'm in charge of the snacks, so I'd better not forget that. Nothing worse than a bunch of managers grumpy because "someone" forgot the nibblies. I take my job very seriously!

I MUST read that book because my brain is always filled to the brim. Dumping onto lists that make sense is a great idea! Looks like you had a great weekend, great shot of the rocks.
