It's fair to say that I've had a pretty difficult week. Teething problems with my new assistant led the way and it was a roller-coaster ride from then on. Now that the rest of all the work issues have been wrapped up, I'm hoping that the wind-down to Christmas will go a little more smoothly. Phew! Yet there's a pretty full week lined up. Appointment with the attorney, with my partner on Tuesday, Christmas shopping on Wednesday, Christmas Eve dinner on Thursday and Christmas lunch on Friday... I'm going to need a vacation!
Last night I shared in a farewell dinner for a friend from Brazil. I'm really going to miss Mariana when she leaves on Tuesday. On the menu was a wonderful meal of Pork Roll and roast potatoes, which I absolutely loved. Man, these guys can cook! As the night wore on, and the red wine kicked in (hic!) the conversation gravitated to a topic I've been giving a lot of thought. As anyone who's read my blogs will know, I'm single, and have been for almost 3 years. Lately, I've started wondering about who I'll end up marrying. I've had my fill of girlfriends and "loose" relationships that end up going nowhere. So, you may ask, what exactly am I looking for? Someone said to me that a reasonable age gap is anything up to 15 years. That seems quite extreme to me but, thinking about it, hmmm... I suppose there might be a 21 year old that fits the mold. I'm a guy who enjoys being challenged, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually. Mrs Guillum-Scott will first and foremost have to be my friend, accepting me as I am, with respect, love and trust being the foundation. After that... well, I'm adventurous, romantic and passionate, so I might be a little much to deal with for some, but I'm also loyal, gentle, giving and sensitive. I suppose, to quote Shrek, I'm like an onion, with many layers. Here's hoping...
Anyhow, to bring the self indulgence back to a simmer. I look forward to 2010. I finally managed to request Football World Cup tickets. Two group games: England vs Algeria & Holland vs Cameroon, and a Semi-Final. I have to wait 'til February to see if I'm successful, but here's hoping! Then there's the IT business I'm starting with my partner. I'm feeling very positive about it. We've done a lot of work on our business plan and cashflow projection, and with great feedback from all we've presented it to, I'm very excited to see where it goes. Last, but certainly not least, I am going to start on Ambrotose asap. If you're wondering what that is, you should probably visit http://www.mannapages.com/guillum. This stuff looks like something everyone should take, and that all will benefit from. I'll keep you updated how it affects me. So I'll sign off on this thought... live life, taking every opportunity for happiness and discovery; you never regret stuff you do as much as stuff you pass up.
