Standing Still

that's what time seems to be doing. We're still in the midst of summer yet many other hoods are experiencing winter already. I've been tired lately...I hope I'm not pregnant!

Should I...

I've been considering quitting my job downtown with SC Financial Investments and working full-time at the hood's bank. Right now Sage has been "promoted" to the task as teller-he basically rings up purchases, but I think customers need to be better educated. We sell investment gold, piggy banks and this is where loans and mortgages are discussed. I think I would need to be there full-time, but how would that work with Ayanna managing The Centre. I seem to be at a plateau here at SCFI so perhaps quitting isn't such a bad idea.

Seasonal

Trying my hand at making seasonal arrangements-for the fall preparing for roses and wildflowers. Business is going well, Johan and I are preparing for our destination wedding. My gown is complete and so is his outfit for the wedding. We will marry in the rainforest of Tiki Island. I am excited.

Active

Faith is...how do you say...active? My daughter loves to run, jump, play and swing. I don't know how we're going to keep her from giving us a headache. Nicole wants us to go to the public pool for swimming. That would be nice, however it's been an unseasonable cold summer. I hope things get warmer.

Bigger

Litte Verde is getting bigger, perhaps Carmela and I should consider having a second baby. She wants to wait until Verde is a toddler or even a child, but I don't see why we shouldn't expand our family before the fall season arrives.

Visits

Jesse is coming to visit me. I am so excited! I wonder if he will think I'm attractive. O, wow. I can hardly think-I've been rushing trying to finish my projects before the big semester break so I can spend time with him and not worry about school.

Hurts My Pride

I looked over the finances and determined that we could not afford to send the girls to university. I feel like such a failure-the girls were not concerned, apparently none of them had big plans on going-Hazel Starr has made it clear that she's moving as soon as possible to persue her acting career-Ginger wants to be a housewife and Marilyn...well, Marilyn wants to be a boy.
