Unmotivated

That is pretty much how I feel today.  Many of my customers have hit the road this week to enjoy some time off, so it’s time for some internal housecleaning.  But, I just don’t feel like doing much.  My wife unveiled the “to do” list before we leave on Friday.  I have mixed feelings about this “to do” list and I am thankful that I don’t have softball tomorrow night or Pool on Thursday so that I can help.  On one hand I don’t understand the need to do everything that we wouldn’t do anyway before we leave.  Last night we not only cleaned out the fridge, but we scoured walls, washed shelves, and scrubbed every square inch of the refridgerator.  Why?  What does that have to do with Florida?  I don’t get it. 

The reason I am on the fence about all of this “to do” list is because when I opened the fridge this morning, I had a moment of zen since it looked like it was new.  From what I understand, it’s that feeling of Zen that my wife wants to return home to after we are gone.  As with every vacation, while we are away we forget that our home is spotless, and upon returning from a usually exhausting vacation, there is relief in knowing that we don’t have much to do when we get back home.

…but still I am unmotivated…

I am working on something new for my balloon business that I hope to unveil after vacation.  In the past month, I have done two seperate jobs with face painters and on both occasions I have wondered why I haven’t gotten into face painting.  It pays just as well, and it’s a lot less hard on the body as twisting balloons.  (believe it or not, there are several body hazards from twisting balloons such as carpal tunnel or tendonitis.)  I am an extremely artsy guy and maybe face painting could be my niche.  Now I just need to invest in some hardware, and practice.  This might be something I throw in for virtually no extra cost to all of my balloon parties later this summer since in order to practice, you need children willing to sit down and let you paint. 

This could be an exciting and new offering that could boost business to an entirely new level.
