Well humph its been awhile
sorry about that to all my readers
all two of you
i know its been tough
As you all know I got a job, and its freaking awesome. At firs the commute was killing me and Mac and I were even talking about me moving to an apartment early to cut down on my 12 hour+ days but now that I have a toll tag things aren't so bad, I even am able to run errands after work.
Tuesday Mac and I are leaving for Seattle and I have to say I am THRILLED.
I finished Nathans crochet surprise and I am pretty happy with it, I hope they all like it. I also ordered Jason's b day present, oh, and Mac and I bought luggage, aren't we just all grown up?
Yesterday Mac cleared off all the shelves in the office and kitchen, its so empty and lifeless now, and actually a lot less cluttered looking. There has to be a happy medium with all of our collectibles. In the next house they are not just going to sit on a shelf, we are going to have to find a better way to display them.
Its so weird how times change. The last couple weekends since I started working I have been waking up around 7 and forcing myself to stay in bed til 8 before I get up and give in and let the dogs out and what not. Of course them 10:30 rolls around and my eye lids are all heavy and sleepy, lame.
I saw Ghost last night on HBO. I had never seen it unedited, the special effects are completely 80's-tastic but as a lover of Highlander I guess I am really not one to criticize. Anyway good movie, got me thinking about other movies everyone else has seen that I've missed out on, like ghostbusters and dances with wolves. Any suggestions for movies I need to see?
okay I need to go do laundry and get packed so that I am not up crazy late Monday night, our plane leaves at 9 Tuesday morning.

easy breezy
I feel so good right now!!! there is nothing like being surrounded by (relative) cleanlyness to just brighten your spirit!
wow, okay remind me to never say anything like that again, it was so out of character.
"spirit" heh.
well anyway
i do feel pretty good. I got all the mail cleared off the front table, did all the dishes, cleaned the counters, cleaned up the shoe mess in the closet, we are done with the bathroom renovation aside from mac's dad helping to install the new shower head and bath tub faucet next weekend (happy fahters day john, please fix our bathroom, kthanx) and so i was able to move all of our daily toiletries out of the guest bathroom finally. Also I drank a mountain dew.. mmmm....
Also I am almost done with my AoC destiny quest and will soon be leaving the island of Tortage!!! you don't have to know what I am talking about, just get excited!
Tomorrow is a very serious recommital to weightwatchers and exercise. Mac made a good point the other day, he wasnt being judgemental he just said "you worked to hard to just let it all go away", and he's right, i did work too hard, and now i have gained 10 pounds so i can longer say i lost 50 pounds and that hurts a little, actually it hurts a lot. The freezer is stocked with smart ones and veggies, the fridge is full of fruit, pantry is full of fiber one bars, black beans and soup so as of tomorrow it is so on (like donkey kong) (i had to say it).
so tonite is pizza buffet!!! and of course i had a tuna melt for lunch.. tuna salad has become my biggest foil, its just too tasty.
After reading Adrienne's blog I feel the need to say, for the record, that this is really about my health, and not about how others perceive me or about stereotypes that i feel i need to live up to. Thats why I follow weight watchers, I don't have to starve myself, I use my flex points for food that i get genuine enjoyment out of (that's right, I LOVE to eat and that will never change) and i rarely feel hungry let alone deprived, its great, i'm great, you're great.. lalala
sigh
this is becoming a strange post so i am just going to end it here

hello
My lack of updates is a reflection of my efforts to not waste my time on the computer. Not that I have stopped entirely, but I am trying to make more of my days. I have been on a ton of interviews, I have even been offered a couple of jobs but nothing that paid enough. One place only paid $12/hour and required a college degree.. huh? wow
I have gotten a few crochet pieces done, I figure if I am going to be home I should be creative. I finally figured out what to make for Nathan, its a surprise but I will say that i got the pattern today and I need to star on it now so that i can get the whole things done by July when I finally get to see my little man in person. Also, I recently mastered a flat crochet heart and leaves that I think would be cool to incorporate into my scrapbooking pages. I love anything textural or dimensional, like felt and tissue paper and chip board. I am considering finally starting on the Honeymoon Scrapbook as well, I have an empty 81/2 by 11 book and thats a size I have been wanting to try. I wonder if i can print out weather reports for that week (Boo hurricanes!).
I think tomorrow I am going to be productive, I think it would do me good :)
lata!

oops
well it's been a while, hehe, oops.
Not much really hs been going on. We decided not to move to Austin so now I am getting a job here instead of waiting and getting one down there (I suppose I could still get one down there but it's just not a commute that I would find fun).
I determined that I don't want a lab job at this time. They pay terribly and the work is monotonous. I sat down one day and just looked at what I enjoy and what I am good at and I think customer service/ sales type jobs are something I would be good at. The problem is thats hard to put on paper. Oh well. I will find something.
We have looked at a few houses and I think I am winning the new vs old house war (yay new!) I can't wait to move but it does make the job issue a little more complicated, or maybe it just gives me too many options :)
I finished Lyla's lion (Stan Grossman) and have moved on to Hydrienne's bear (possibly a Kola) and will work on Aidan's monkey next and now you are all caught up
Oh yeah mother's day was fun, we went to a RAngers game with Carol the day before and church and lunch with my mom the day of, good times.
