Random Thoughts on the Drive Home #2

Yesterday was a challenging day at work . . . not home. Home was great. Work, stressful. We all have days like that, I know.

Yesterday was mine.

I had to pick the girls up from my Mom's after work, which allowed me a little more time in the car. Since my home is just about 10 minutes from my office, I don't mind the extra quiet car time. And yesterday, I used it well.

Yes, time for another Random Thinking Moment. I haven't had many of these lately . . . must mean I'm not "thinking" very often. But yesterday was a good one.

After all the stress of the day, the words, "There has GOT to be a better way" kept popping up into my head.

So, I decided that I need to start a business. But not by myself ... nope ... I think my sister, my dear friend 2E, and I should start a business. Yep. Because I think the three of us could really do it.

Oh, wait. What about PK .... she's a genius. We'll definitely need her expertise. Oh, then how about Cindi (our other Scrap Cellar chick), well, how could I start a business without her? Yes, Cindi is on board too. Oh, dear, I wish my blog friend Nicole lived here, because I know with her energy - we could REALLY get things going. Oh, let's throw Nicole into the mix, just for fun.

So, Laura, Touhy, PK, Cindi, and Nicole. Ok. That sounds good.

Now, what kind of business?

Well, what do I like to do?

Well, I like to write. I like to draw. (I know, I sound 7.) I like to scrapbook (doesn't help in the maturity department, does it?) I can throw one heck of a party. Oh, and Touhy is in the trade show biz, so perhaps we incorporate her brilliant planning skills and my brilliant party skills, my sisters organization and business skills, and PK and CE's creative skills, and Nicole's brilliant marketing and PSA skills, and . . . . girls, we've got ourselves one kick ass business.

I hope they don't mind if my salary is the highest (the random thinking continues).

I mean, I'm the one who is coming up with this kick ass business idea.

Oh, speaking of kick ass . . . I wonder if my blog friend Michelle would relocate here . . . because I think she's really funny, and we'll need someone to make us laugh in the office for those days when we are all PMS'ing really bad. So, maybe we'll have to add Michelle to the business.

Ok, back to the business.

So, we've got looks ;), brains, creative ideas, energy, marketing, humor. Yep, I think we are good.

Oh, I wonder what we'll have for lunch when we have our business (random thinking usually turns to food when I'm hungry.) Maybe we could open our business up in Oak Park, near Penny's. I love Penny's. Oh, did I ever tell my blog friends about Penny's? I don't think so, I'll have to tell them about that place some time. Oh, wait . . . I'm loosing myself. Let's get back to to the business.

So, food. I wonder if we'll work next to a Starbucks . . . or if we'll need a coffee pot. Maybe we can have  our office in the same building WITH a Starbucks . . . . NOW we're talking.

Yes, this will be lovely, won't it?

Hmmm . . . so, what did I say our business was going to be?

Oh, it doesn't matter. I'm in a room, with my favorite people, having my favorite foods . . . Oh, wait, Mary from Food Floozie, she's wonderful! Maybe she'll relocate and join our business, too. I mean, we'll need a chef in the office . . . won't we? Yes, she'll have to join us.

Ok, I digress. I'm in a room, with my favorite people, having my favorite foods . . . who needs work?

And with that . . . I pulled into my Mom's driveway, and the reality set in.

I felt a little sad . . . but then really happy. Because I knew I had to drive home from there . . . and could only imagine where my Random Thinking Moment would take me next!

What about you? Done any "Random Thinking" lately?
