Stuck.
Ok - So remember my book? Well, I wrote about 4 chapters (10 times over!)... The trouble with having nothing to say.. is having too much to say all at once!!

I decided to take a break for 2 days and just let the ideas settle and then start again. Yes, yes, most books take a year and more to come together.. what can I say? I am an impatient overachiever!

Wednesday, June 17th was my 34th Birthday. I had such a fun day from the moment I walked into my office. The team filled my work space with balloons and shrink wrapped all my stuff! That was hilarius (only in IT!!).. Beer cans everywhere. The most amazing part is, they blew up all those balloons without a helium tank (and pretty much drank all the beer while doing so!!).

I then went to tea at midday with my friend Lindsey at the Brown Palace Hotel. One of Denver's historic hotels. The evening I ate a very nice dinner at a Russian restaurant downtown and went to watch: "A Bronx Tale" - All in all very good day. I felt very special with all the wishes and ofcourse hearing from my friends and family back home.

Yesterday our team joined the Marketing crew for a baseball game. The Rockies versus Tampa Bay. I have been to a few baseball games, I thought I had the hang of it, but Lindsey laughed when I asked: "Is it half time now" pfffft whatever LOL. I want to watch more basketball - But have been told I am too late for that! drat!! One of these days I will learn American sports well enough!

Today - The IT folks are taking me to a mysterious lunch. They KNOW that I have been working out and trying to get into shape (other than round!) and been eating well.. so I know they are planning something greasy and colon cleansing!! It's a tough life!! LOL

So, back to my book. Now that I have been injected with inspiration, I seem to be running out of vocabulary and also have way too many ideas floating around. But, on the bright side.. no one ever died from too many ideas!! So, I started doing alot more research and reading. I never thought I would write a novel. My good friend in England, Sarah, started writing a book about her life and what a life she has had thus far! And I always envisioned that I would write a philosophical piece about life, love, passion and how to beat the odds.. But I have this novel wallowing around.. and I think for me at this time, that is the way to go.

So I have read about 25 books this week online. I bought a book from the bookstore and it was such a snoozefest! Seriously, some of the "best-sellers"... have been so boring... and that challenged me even more.. I don't want anyone to feel bored to tears by my work.. I want to inspire and fuel the imagination, take people to places deep within their own soul, creatively. But also into a fantasyland and into a different world - an escape to reality and an escape from reality.

So bla bla bla - get to it already!! I can hear everyone saying ha ha.

I have booked my tickets to Belgium. I cannot wait to spend time with my friends over there and also attend the Formula 1 race, it might be the last one I ever attend - sadly... I look forward to maybe hopping to Amsterdam as well. That will be wonderful!!

On that note... This weekend we have our Company Summer picnic and ofcourse I am helping with the coorindation (as usual lol). And Sunday the F1 race in England (which I will be watching on TV - just to be clear!).

Life is goohoood :)
