the things you promised me now i want...
can i take a moment here to mention that i am so sick of working... i would love nothing more than to not have to work... a lotto winning, inheritance, sugar daddy... all of the above would work... sugar momma even (sara cough cough!) but as that hasn't happened and doesn't seem to be happening any time soon... i shall keep working my ass off and enjoying that one day a week that i get off... even when that means missing exciting things like my best friends birthday (i'm sorry sara but i do love you and this weekend we are going on date!) or rescheduling a hundred doctors appointments, forgetting about coloring my sisters hair and agreeing to work or being cranky with my husband for the next billion years...
the good news about working is that i got another raise... yea money... so i now officially am the bread winner of the family though i think eoghan is nipping at my heels for that title... his job as a male companion is really paying off... my poor dog. another good thing about working is that i was able to enter a march madness bracket and win 40 bucks... so my title as bracket champ is continued for another year... and as i sit here and think about i do believe that i may another raise coming up... we get a few cost of living and union raises a year and it's been a few months sent the last one... though with the new contract i don't know what the schedule is on that... i do know that my insurance doubled but even then it's still cheap for insurance... for how often i go to the doctors and all my medications...
john is now the proud owner of guitar hero II for 360... i've never seen him more excited for a video game than he is for this one... he reserved it months ago and couldn't wait for the release... and because i am so nice and have time before i go back to work again (because all i do is work) i ran to game stop to pick it up for him and ended up getting a membership and some crazy magazine for him... i'm so easy to talk into things... damn impulse buying... i need sara there as my voice of reason ... no don't spend it on that you can get some sweet sunnies for that price... i mean wait, she would say save your money for vacation... or books... okay maybe she isn't the voice of reason...
anyone know where i can get a copy of the rosetta stone for learning spanish for FREE... please. yes. yes. we are leaving for mexico in a little less than five weeks and i thought i should brush up on my broken high school spanish or lack there of...
now you might want to sit down for this part, i have been going to the gym about 5 times a week and eating better but most frightening, i haven't had a coke in over a month... scary i know... i've upped my water intake and switched to ice tea... i do drink a carnation instant breakfast in the mornings but thats okay... cut out fast food and started eating more fruit and veggies... john's been doing must the cooking and he is acting as a trainer for me... my usual trip to the gym starts with 30 minutes (of hell) on the elliptical and then a five minute cool down... over to the treadmill for 20-30 minutes of 1/4 mile run then 1/4 mile walk... i have horrible knees that can't handle the running but i try because it gets my heart rate up like nothing else... then over to the hip abduction/adduction machine... depending on the day i will then have john torture me with ab work out or a boxing work out to tone the arms... in the first two weeks i lost 6 pounds and i was still drinking coke and hardly working out... i haven't got back on the scale but i will when i see doctor while... it will be one month from my last weigh in... i'm sure i've lost more but couldn't tell you how much... i'm wearing pants i haven't worn in months and my fat pants are so huge they wont stay ... those would be good things i assume... i'm pretty sensitive about my weight and eating habits so it's hard for me to talk about it... my doctor was shocked when i lost the weight and very happy to see that i was taking my health seriously... i have an amazing husband that supports me through it all, works out with me and lets me bitch about it... he also lets me whine when i'm sore and wanting nothing more than to throw something at him for laughing at me... it's amazing to me to see how happy he is with the progress i've made... i'm doing this for me and my health and for vain reason (bathing suite in mexico ACK!) but regardless i'm doing it... the hardest part has to be giving up coke... i've had a 12 pack in the fridge for over a month now... that usually doesn't last a week in my house... but it's not so bad drinking tasty iced tea...
john's passport came in the mail today so we are all set for getting into mexico... there are still a few things that have to get done or that we are waiting on before we go but the most important part is done... it took less than two weeks for his passport to come ... it was worth the extra 70 bucks to expedite the process and the shipping... just the peace of mind, knowing that it's done is worth it... i can't wait for this trip... john, lisa, erick, johnny and i will be leaving may fifth super early and have a whole week in the beautiful resort that lisa picked out... it's all inclusive and just a short walk to the beach... plus there is beautiful pool with swim up bar, awesome resturants and we get to snorkel... there are tons of other fun things to do there and john and lisa have gone to mexico a million times so they know the best places to go and some fun things to do while we are there... i can't wait... i do have to start tanning so i don't burn like the crispy critter i usually do...
