More time has past… May 25, 2009
Posted by Staci in : Diet/Fitness, General Ramblings, Vacations, Work Stuff , add a commentand once again I collected a ton of things to write here, but never had the chance to post. So another bulk update.
House Stuff –
We did find a nice house when we went out. Actually a great house that just needs some cosmetic work. I made an offer, it was accepted, and we closed on the house on May 6th. The painting has begun and once that is finished new carpet will go down. The other minor things it needs are a light fixture in one of the bathrooms, ceiling fans though out to help with the electric bill, and new toilets. I have before pictures, and tomorrow if all goes well I will take some in progress pictures.
Diet stuff -
Well I have yet to shed any of the extra pounds I have been carrying, but it has been difficult to do. I have a girls weekend with my friends involving a few of my friends, a trip to Vegas, and this holiday weekend. I will be back on track on Tuesday with my diet though.
Fitness stuff –
I am still not running, but I am walking. My friend Ruth and I are still training for the Half Marathon in Rachel NV that will take place in August. We are going to walk it and we figure it will take a little over 4 hours to complete. We missed a few walks due to vacations and stuff, but are back on track now and have plans for a nice nine mile walk on Wednesday.
Work stuff -
They did another round of layoffs. Thankfully this time my department was not impacted but the stress level is still really high. With the expansion into India our staff has been reduced to less then half of what it was 2 years ago. So far my job is still save, and my annual performance review was great so I am trying to stay positive.
Girls weekend -
Was a blast as usual. Lots of fun times talking, laughing, and of course drinking.
Vegas trip –
Very fun. My sister and I went for 4 days to play in a Bingo event. We have not gone on a vacation that was just the two of us before so it was a new experience. We didn’t win any money, but we had a lot of fun and are already looking forward to doing it again next May.
Memorial Day weekend –
Well I am home alone all weekend. My mother took my nephew to the resort for the weekend, so it is just me and Sonic. It is nice having the house to myself and being able to watch whatever I want on tv. I have a bottle of wine that I am debating opening so I can toast to the fallen soldiers who gave their lives to defend my freedom.
Shopping –
I haven’t done much of it because everything makes me look fat. However a friend of mine has an online shop where she sells hand-crafted jewelry. The website is http://moonsea.etsy.com She has some very nice stuff.
Well that is all I have for the moment.
