Things I am excited about:
- lothgar and shosh's wedding is this weekend, and it should be fun
- I scoured the internet and found a good hotel rate so pete and i can have a romantic evening away at the shore, we usually like to go away for our anniversary and weren't able to. we are going next weekend.
- pete has a job interview tomorrow at CHOP and the salary is low for Phila but is still good
- I lost a few pounds
- getting a new car eventually, and starting to test drive them. it's fun! and it makes us talk seriously about kids again. we are on hold from trying until we know pete's graduated, and also because I am not eligible for fmla funds (i/e taking time off after baby) until 12 months after hire, so we want to be safe. Though I am not entirely sure I would go back to work that soon, but that's another story.
- I am treating myself to a pedicure and some waxing this week to be nice to myself
- we are less in dire straits financially, there is light at the end of the tunnel. we can go out to dinner and not fight about it or feel really guilty.

Things I am not excited about:
- I am starting a class on Thursday nights in 2 weeks and will be home late Tues, Thurs, Wed
- I don't like my job's schedule, I feel like I have no social life whatsoever and also no days off for 4 months, okay I have 3 to go. Pete's new schedule is going to be 3 12 hour days. I am sure this will frustrate me. But the good news is he can choose which days he works late and can make them the same nights as my late nights.
- I think I have a cavity but no insurance for 4 months!
- I already feel like I never have time for the gym and my new schedule is going to be even tougher, and makes me feel frustrated about losing more pounds to my goal weight
- We are in a lot of debt, and even when we make more $, we will have to send all our extra money to our credit cards to pay it down, which is going to lead to us being in this house for longer. Also, it may interfere with the purchase of new car as credit rating not so hot right now. Also, pete's dad is asking a lot of info about it and its just stressful.
- we have lots of yard work to do and our lawn mower needs to be repaired
- I feel socially alone at work a lot, there's a lot of turnover going on and it can be lonely at times and there's no internet which means I feel really cut off sometimes
