Cleaning, cleaning all the day! This is the extent of my Saturday!!! I made no-bake oatmeal chocolate cookies they are REALLY good frozen. They are easy to make. I should always keep a bunch in my freezer. Cleaning, eating, thesis. Such is my life right now. The MBA is worth it. I can't wait to see my family. I just wish I were flying there instead of driving BUT I know although it's annoying AND far, it's also not really far enough to fly.

I have over 2 weeks vacation next month. I wish I had planned better. I could've gone to Europe. My finances will FINALLY have some order Tuesday since I've paid off all but the regular expenses now. I paid my tithing ahead sooo I'm not going to pay it when I get paid Tuesday since it's already paid!!! My finances return to NORMAL FINALLY.

If I saaave my money over the next two months I'll have enough for my sectional AND flat screen-my Christmas presents and graduation gifts to myself!!! It'll also be time for me to get cable again.

Zumba, Yoli AND I think it's time to beef up my food storage AND do some family history work. My mother has some names I can do. I need to start my own at least and stop allowing my mother's enthusiasm to turn me off.

There's a leadership project called ILEAD I want to apply for. Utah is one of just 5 states in addition to Illinois that was chosen for this leadership institute thing. At least 3 different libraries get to collaborate with 3 different libraries selecting 5 team members. They have to work together to help the community somehow.

The deadline to submit the application is December 14th. I'm going to do something business-related. I'd like to do some sort of small business thing because it's going to help my Zumba business which I AM going to launch VERY SOON. I NEED to make more money and I don't want to work for anyone else like I was planning and I'm NOT willing to do anything that isn't going to advance my career or benefit me. The ONLY thing I can think of that wouldn't require the amount of time that would affect my schedule is Zumba in the early-morning.

I looove the dance aspect of this thing and I can't wait to make it fly. I also like launching a business because it is work that shows I am USING the skills I gained through my MBA. I already have my consumer health medical library certification-that gives me an edge as does the MBA for business librarianship. It certainly qualifies me for additional business or medical librarian jobs. Having my own Zumba business is valuable experience in the field.

Forming a team, applying for, and then implementing the stuff through the ILEAD program is an incredible opportunity I can stick around a year for. Helping start-up businesses is genius AND helps me identify resources in the process that'll allow me to take advantage of EVERYTHING it offers to ALSO help myself. I just need to refine the idea, get 5 members to commit to being a part of it, AND then do it!!!

Zumba certification is good throughout the United States. I like my MLS because it qualifies me for librarian jobs nation-wide. I REALLY don't plan to live here for the rest of my life. This experience will allow me to easily replicate it elsewhere.
