So I got nudged to update my journal! Hi to all who are out there reading!
Apparently it's been a great while since my last entry. I don't know if anyone out there really cares about what's going on in my life but I'm gonna let her rip anyway!
This summer my husband and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary! Yay! It didn't seem like it's been that long. All is well on that front, same same same, happy and all that good stuff. He works a different shift than me, so we don't see a whole lot of each other, which is good and bad... no time to fight, but not enough time for cuddles.
We have been living in the new house for nearly 2 years now. We've settled in nicely, no bad surprises. It's a pain to keep two bathrooms clean, but the pergo floors are a blessing.
My kitty is fat and happy! We've got our little routines together, like when he flings himself at the door and sprawls there before i leave for work everyday because he wants me to stay home. And when i get done brushing my teeth he sits in the bathroom doorway and wails so i will pick him up and take him to bed.
I went a little nuts on the doll collecting for a while and then the flame sort of burned out. I don't really get into it now, I don't really get much out of it when i look at my display. I don't know if i'll be persuing it anymore. I feel bad because I had just ordered a quite expensive glass display cabinet, too. It hasn't even arrived yet. I was supposed to have it months ago, after 12 weeks they sent the wrong one, and then another 12 weeks for a replacement. I don't even want it anymore.
In a few weeks I will have worked at my job an official 7 years. One more year before I get another weeks vacation. I look forward to that more than much else in regards to my job. It's the same thing I've been doing, every day, for a very long time. It has it's ups and downs. But if it was supposed to be fun, I would be paying them to let me do it!!!
I've made some really great friends in the last couple of years, and because of that I have the most active social life I've had since high school. It's good to feel like people like me again.
I dieted, lost a bunch of weight, and then I put it back on. Then I had my wisdom teeth out, and lost a bunch of weight, and then I put it back on. Notice a pattern here? LOL I think I'm done with all that jazz. It was a revelation to me when I realized that my mother looks like skin and bones to me and we wear basically the same size, only it's snug on me and loose on her. Skinny just doesn't run in my family.
Speaking of family, I finally put the word out there and I'm trying to get ahold of my sisters. I have three 1/2 sisters, my dad's other kids. They are older than me. I've been thinking of them for a while now and decided to take the first step. I had my mom give their 1/2 brother my phone number to give them. Yes, it's a tangled family web. I haven't heard from them yet, though.
I read on the internet that drinking ice cold water somehow sends a message to your liver which in turn sends out a message to your body to create cellulite. I have been consistently drinking room temp bottled water for over a year now and I have almost no dimples. True story.
That's about all, folks. Direct any questions or comments below, I'd love to chat it up!
