Life a little dull….?

You could be a sales man that pitches ‘why rigid foam insulation is best for your home’ or you could be the host for an Ontario microFit program, regardless you probably hate your job and just cannot wait to get home to your wife…oh wait she just talked to you about going to a marriage counsellor, so now what are you going to do? You can’t quit your job to do what you’ve always wanted to do….start your own business as a manufacturing software technician or your wife will most likely leave you. It seems years pass by faster and faster, and life is just not going as you planned…you could always live up at your cottage in Muskoka for a month, paint your old rusty patio furniture, hire a home staging professional to re-decorate the place, but what is the point anymore? You still have to go home and clean swimming pools for you and your neighbour…maybe you could find after work and weekend activities like a dance class or get another job installing  wall systems. Wow, seems like a pretty dull life you got there and I actually feel sorry for you…but you know the only person that can do something about it is YOU! Okay, obviously you cannot do much about your job because of the money situation, but maybe 2011 is the year for you and your wife to have FUN, and nothing more? It might straighten things up between the two of you and you could really start enjoying your life for once…

So, I take it you are going to need a little push and would like to know what is going on in Ontario this year….

Here goes…
