Crazy crazy busy busy

Hey!
Yup, still around. & working!! Working like crazy! Started end of June and I. am. loving it!
Great boss, great environment, too much work! My company went through a reorganization in the 1st half of the year and so we're behind on a lot of things. Being busy is great though - the days fly by.
It's great to work somewhere where I am appreciated and challenged and encouraged and where I make a difference. Job satisfaction - the thing that was missing from my last job when my boss left and someone new came on. Oh how I missed it. So glad to have found it again.
I love my work. :)

Tan lines and scars

So after my last post, I was thinking about what had happened between then and the post before that. Turns out, a lot had happened. Not the least of which is my tan lines. Hubby took me to Cuba for my birthday and we spent lots of time Soduko-ing on the beach and playing in the ocean. It was awesome. He had a beautiful flower arrangement sent to our room with a gigantic bottle of rum. He's kinda got me addicted to travelling and it had been 8 months since we went to Italy, so I was due for a vacation.




Also **scary** my niece got bitten by a big dog!! I was so scared when I heard that Big D hurt Emmy. I prayed my heart out & I went to see her. Really, not nearly as bad as it could've been. I was verry upset with her caretaker (who I'm not a big fan of anyway). But - thank you God. She has 3 slashes - 2 of them needed 3 stitches each, the other left to heal on its own. One close to her eye, but not on her eye. Now, we just take good care of the wounds so she doesn't scar (too badly). Poor girl, but so glad -- she's healing nicely and she'll be just fine.

I got nothing

So, I promised I'd blog more...

and I got nothing. Before I started this blog my whole life was "I should blog about this". Now:

I got n o t h i n g.

Hm.

Does this count yet? How many word 'til I've fulfilled my promise to blog more regularly (the goal was monthly (ish).


Since I like to consider myself an optimist, here's what I do have:
*an awesome husband
*great sisters, brother (in-laws), Moms & Dads, 2 crazy-cute nieces
*a beautiful home that is getting only more beautiful now that I have time to clean everything properly (I don't think I'd, in 6 years, cleaned every window - that's now done. & the basement!! The basement is so nice and tidy now!)
*a car I love (even if half still belongs to the bank)
*money to make that car payment (thank-you EI)
*lots of time to study
*lots of time to work out
*lots of time to prepare healthy meals - I'm really enjoying making breakfast and lunches for hubby (he really enjoys it too)

Well, what do you know. Turns out I don't got nothing after all. (Even if it's not particularly blog-worthy).

How do they do it?

Seriously! How!?!

Especially - how do working Mom's do it? (yes I realize "working Mom" is redundant, but you know what I mean)

I just can't seem to find the time to blog. & I've got some great stuff. I'm always thinking... I should blog about that. But ACTUALLY blogging about it? Mmm- obviously doesn't happen so much. I'm going to try harder though - I promise.

I can't believe it was before Christmas that I was last here. Yup. That was ... 3 exams ago (wow).
My next exam (a midterm) May6.

I am unemployed (again) Which totally sucks, not that I don't kind of enjoy it, but my bank account really does like it better when I'm working.

I worked for 3 months and they decided the "fit" wasn't right in the office. Which is totally irritating, because, really, it was the other girl in the office (small office of 5 including me) decided I found too many mistakes she'd made and I guess that made me a threat. That's ok, I'm kinda glad they let me go, because I was miserable, and yet, I wouldn't have left on my own (remember - my bank account....) The girl - she was harsh, and conniving, and a big FAT liar! (She wasn't overweight at all, but her lies - they were BIG and FAT!) That makes me smile - to be free from the oppression! Anyway... my boss, (who unfortunately isn't also her boss - because then, I think, I wouldn't be the unemployed one) says my work is good and is glad to give me a reference, so that's good. And here I am. Job searching again.

and blogging.

Next job - I'm totally making time at lunch to blog - unless, I guess, it's against company policy. & then - boo, but I've committed to making the effort.
