Thinking Thoughts

Hi! It’s been awhile I know. I’m somewhere right now, away from my usual blogging desk and schedule hence the lack of posts.  Getting a few days rest and time with my mom was my agenda for the past two weeks. And it has been all worth it. I feel good, but eeekkk! I gained weight. I was expecting this already. I always gain weight whenever I go home so the first thing on my list when I get back is to get back into my weight loss regimen.

Also, I’ve been mulling over my ‘career’ options recently. My daughter is now 8 and she’s now a bit independent so I figured its time for me to pay attention to my self. It was my decision to stop working a year after I had her and it has been a satisfying few years off the rat race. Which made me think I’m definitely more suited to running my own business or being my own boss. While I was a stay at home mom, I still managed to earn on the side. The first few years, I had my own profitable jewelry making business, but when we moved to another place, I concentrated efforts towards blogging and web designing. I didn’t realize I had the technical aptitude but I did. I also enjoyed this kind of ‘computer and design work’, and being able to earn good money from it was an added bonus.

So now that I have some time to pick where I want to go next, I have decided to go ahead and have a career that is IT related. Perhaps someday I could run my own web design or web admin company or I could look for System Support & Documentation Jobs. But I have also decided to spend a few years getting another diploma in computer science and eventually going for a masters in information technology. Even hubby gave me the green light with this one. He knows I have plenty of interest in this field and he suggests I might want to teach too eventually.

Now that’s food for thought. Do wish me luck. I hope I could all realize this before I turn 35. At least I have a few years to work on this dream. )
