Ending 2008

So another year has come and gone. I'm not sure what all of my goals/resolutions were from last year. LOL

My goals for 2009 are pretty simple. Become healthier in all aspects of my life. Physical, emotional, & financial.

To reach my physically healthier goal, I plan to take up running/walking again and plan to enter at least 2 5k's during the year. I'm also looking into yoga.

Emotional health goal is the hardest I think. I plan make a point of taking time out at least once a week just for me. Also I will not allow myself to become a homebody.

Financial health means making a budget & sticking to it. Starting a savings acct. Hopefully at some point I'll be getting a part time job to help contribute to our financial health.

So, See ya later 2008, come & get me 2009.

I have a new addiction

LOL Getting tattooed. My newest pretty http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Cather/IMG_4682.jpg

I have plans for my next one too. And additions to the last 2. Like I said an addicction.

Moving sucks

I hate packing. More I hate limbo. We don't have a place to move to but we really need to move. I'm turning in our 30 day notice today. I plan on having DH give his 2 week notice on Friday or Monday. We'll pack up & move to storage if we have to. I need to have closure.

Boxes, Boxes everywhere

I'm literally up to my waist in boxes.

5 boxes of board games & 10 boxes of DVD's.

I haven't even finished packing all my books.

I have my shoes ready to go into a box just haven't gotten to them.

I need to pack up my baking, cake decorating, and craft supplies. So we have a place to put the boxes.

Now we just have to find a place to live.

Move in progress.

So, the move is in progress. We looked at some places to live. Were able to narrow it down but am waiting for a realtor to get back to us before we make any housing decisions.

Long Day

Started off a little later than planned. Got gas then got lost. A trip that should have taken less than 1.5hrs took over 2. Drop off the hubs. Driving back out to my appt. Kid #2 pukes in the car. :( Call my appt. Tell him I'm running late. Get home medicate sick kid. Feed all children. Rush to my appt. Run home get kids. Drive 1hr 15min to pick up hubs. Head home, decide to make side trip to previous engagement that we were going to blow off. Hang out for an hour. Finally get home. :( Long day.

How I spent the day after Halloween

Life goes on

Sometimes whether we want it to or not. Stress and my desire are not enough to stop the world.

Stress is the word

The word of the week. Life is complete & utter chaos at the moment.

S.O.B.!!!!!!

I missed a test in my online class. I'm never gonna be able to pull out a B in this class. I'm gonna have to bust my hump to try & at least get a B. Hopefully I can pull A's in my other classes so my GPA doesn't suffer too much.

Mondays Suck.

LOL

Today was a long day.


Thought I'd share what I spent a great deal of the weekend doing.





I also finally finished my dress. I need to take pictures of it.

I got a new pattern now I just have to decide what fabric to make it out of.

And now for something completely different

or not. So it's my birthday. My online friends wished me a Happy Birthday. But no one in my family did until I posted about it being my birthday on my facebook page. Yep I totally feel the love there.

Happy Birthday to me...

Well tomorrow is my birthday. But I'm baking cupcakes for it today. And funnily enough I don't even like cake. LOL So, happy birthday to me.

Epiphany

Today I realized something about myself & my marriage. It's kind of scary to realize that the reason why I do the things I do is for such a stupid reason.

typical

We had the whole weekend to talk about the job. The topic didn't come up once. I think he's playing ostrich. I guess I'll have to nag him about it so we can make a decision.

I know he wants to put off the decision, but honestly I think we have to make the decision & we can put off moving on it until necessary. I don't want to have to make a last minute decision & regret it later.

That said I think our best decision is to go. I would love to stay here but for our financial future our best bet is to go. It'd be great if he could do both but I just don't think thats a feasible answer, too much stress.

Oh well.

Heh Heh Heh

I just won my Halloween costume on eBay. WooHoo!!!!

Well the news today took some of the stress off. We won't have a decision forced on us. We will have to decide where to go & what to do on our own. Which means if we succeed or fail it'll be based on our decision alone.

Crazy stuff

Life is insane right now.

Decisions to be made or that will be made for us with in next week.

Either way life will never be the same again.

I got a new camera.

Yay! My poor little point & shoot S1 died a few weeks ago. I was finally able to get myself a new camera today. It's not the one I wanted (G9) but I'm happy with my choice.

Getting the damn camera was an exercise in futility. Let me just say I will never shop at Circuit City ever again.


I hope to be posting pics soon.

Decisions decisions

I hate having to make life altering decisions. Especially when technically I don't have to. Life can go on like it is or we can change it. We don't have to change it but it's an option we have available to us right now.


What to do? What to do?

Blech

Today is going to be a long day.

Up early to take B to work so I can keep the car.

Need to take the kids to R's for the day.

Class starts @ 9ish, 3 hours of standing drawing a naked person. Interesting but painful.

Then pick the kids up from R's house.

Running errands for the photo shoot at 4.

Pick up B from work.

Picking up balloons for said photo shoot.

Going to photo shoot.

Doing models make up.

Photo shoot.

BSing with G-man.

Home for dinner. Which thank goodness is already cooking in the crockpot.

Then vegging on the couch waiting for Heroes to start.

Long day!

I'm going to try this

I'm not great at blogging as I usually don't have much to say that's important to anyone but myself.

Oh well, if you don't want to read then don't.
