my ridiculously awesome job

Times get tough. Money gets tight. Work gets stressful. And honestly, sometimes I question whether or not I should be doing this. Sometimes I wonder if I should get some desk job and look forward to direct deposit and Fridays like everyone else.

But then I have a day like today. Where I wake up, a little too late, which is always unfortunate, but never detrimental, throw my hair back, throw on some shades and leash up the pooch to walk to the Circle to meet a friend for coffee. We sit, chat, discuss business and life and skin care and SEO and marketing and the people who REALLY have The Good inside. We chat with some men smoking cigars (yes, at 9:30 am), let a toddler pet the poodle, tear some coupons out of the paper and part with a good hug. Chloe and I walk home. Eat breakfast with the roommate. I bring my laptop into the kitchen. And start to work on SEO and marketing.

And here I sit, several hours later. In my comfy kitchen. With my precious poodle. Next to the open window that overlooks my fabulous and sunny backyard. Feeling the breeze. Taking and making phone calls from clients, colleagues and friends. Working on marketing. Loving every ounce of beauty that exists all around me, including my groovy ivy that grows out of a coke bottle on my kitchen table. My plants are so cool.

And my self portraits are especially cool. Especially when you throw in some Photo Booth effects and a really rad roommate. Oh yea. This is how I work sometimes. And most the time, my job is just this ridiculously awesome.
