Catching Up..Busy April!

OMG I haven’t “blogged” in like forever, well in what seems like forever to me.. So much has happened..

Oh I’ll try to be as chronological as possible, I turned down a possible job prospect back when I was told March 31 would be D-Day..cause then they said D-Day would be June and that I can possible filling for someone on Mat Leave June-November so I would be guaranteed a job till at least November..I was, er am happy here..but well I thinks its funny how 1 lil simple call can impact your life..

The lady from new job called and made an offer, I thought about it, counter offered, I felt for a brief moment I was on “Deal or no deal” LOL I got what I asked for..I think I made a good deal..I start May 4th, entirely new position, I mean in a sense it’s similar to what I do now, but in a different function as now I’ll be working as a vendor not the manufacturer, I had to tell my company where I was going as our paths will most diffently cross, they are happy for me but sad to see me go, bittersweet moment for me as well. Love the hell out of my co-workers and managers but well I need stability for my family and peace of mind for myself.

Ok so I covered new job, now on to education:

I never finished college, barely started, I went after HS got a few credits left cause I rather work, started up again when I met Mike got more credits stopped when we were planning the wedding. So now I registered to local community college to finally finish a degree, nothing major just the Associates but at least it’s a step in the right direction. I went yesterday to register and OMG I was so close to just giving up and leaving LOL I felt like I didn’t belong, everyone was so young and fresh outta HS and here I am..about to be 28+1 in 4 months. I registered got my paperwork in order and got my lovely bill I have to pay by 5/5 and was like arghhh another expense, I mean yeah totally worth it but geez just when I thought hey I can buy a lens, no, gotta pay for school and textbooks, speaking of OMG $127 for 1 class! 1 book! WTH! Ok ok gripe over..I swear!

Now on to weightloss..

I am finally at a # I haven’t been in a long time, I mean a very long time and if it wasn’t for this band I would never have gotten this low on my own. I’ll admit last week was tough cause my last fill really tightened me up, so much so I barely tolerated eggs or anything thicker than pudding. To add to that I read you get even tighter at your time of month, well this weekend I felt like a bird cause everything I ate was regurgitated..So on Sunday I gave up on food and went back to mushies, well I haven’t gotten on scale cause im a bloated mess and so not the time for it, when its gone I’ll get on but either way im headed in the right direction and just glad to finally feel like im getting somewhere with this weight loss journey. And im down another size..Yippee!

a Sunday for the dogs..

Fenway slept with us for the 1st time last night. We've tried before but never very successful so we end up putting him back in his room. But last night he & we slept wonderfully I woke up at 7AM walked him and I went back to bed and so did he and he is still snoozing the lazy pup. I guess he is gearing up for what should be an awesome day for him, I'm apart of a Boston Terrier forum, Woof Boards and there is a meet-up at 1:30 in a local dog park I can't wait to see him play with others of his breed, he need others that can keep up with his rowdy self..

So I'm off to get ready, charge the camera as this should be FUN!
I'll post pics later...

Buh-bye Lens...

Well last night I did it..I packed up the rented lens and sent back it was very hard to part with.



It took some learning along with mucho trial & error but as for the last shot I think I did pretty well..I loved every shot that was captured with that lens and after I rent and play with 1 more I think I'll be able to make my final decision on my next prime lens..

Last shot b4 packing it up..


I still feel pretty crappy but I went down the 3lbs I gained in the last 3 weeks so that was good.

I made a card for my friends birthday and I have to say this card compared to my 1st ones is like night and day..I guess like with anything practice makes perfect..





I'm so enjoying this weather! I'm like all over the place here aren't I?

April 1st!

What a week and its only Wednesday!!! Fenway had to visit vet yesterday woke up all swollen faced! I still feeling like utter crude..dizzyness and whatnot. Husband was like NOT AVAILABLE the whole weekend, I had to sleep alone Saturday night and that’s the night after seeing “A Haunting in Connecticut” so yeah I was so not the happy camper..

Im here doing some spring cleaning and filing, I haven’t filed since I got back from Surgery in December..whoops.. so yeah I had some organizing to do. We’re being “reorganized” account wise within the CO so I hope I get my same accounts..:crosses fingers:: anywho back to the proverbial grind I suppose.
