Brodie Boy

We got a puppy!  Tom and I got a puppy about 6 months ago which I guess makes him 8 months (time flies!)  Here are a few pictures of my handsome little guy.

When we first got him.

 And this is him now.  I wish I had his Halloween picture but I can't seem to find it, anyway this is my cute boy.

Merry Christmas!

I have been a bag blogger lol.  It has been so long since I've posted anything and I know that my blog is long overdue for an update!  Maybe I will do that tonight since I have nothing to do besides laundry.  Which I hate!  Laundry is so awful!  If only I was rich, then I would pay someone else to do it hahahaha. 

Anyway I'm so excited for Christmas!  One of my favorite holidays (next to Thanksgiving).  This year I asked for an iPad, I will be really surprised if I get one but I am more looking forward to spending time with my family.  We live about an hour and a half apart, it'd be easy enough to get together but we all have such busy lives that getting together doesn't happen as often as it should be. 

What are your plans for Christmas?

It's been a while...

Lol I haven't posted in a while and I know that there are a lot of updates in my life... so you get to read them (I guess you could just click away now if you didn't want to...) so it seems like you decided to stay for a while hahaha well here goes nothing.....

So Tom and I are living together (I think that that is new news) and have been since about September.  So far so good, he's good to me and keeps the apartment clean for the most part.  We are starting to outgrow this place though so we had to get a storage unit.  We got a pretty good deal though at a place kinda in the middle of no where, well really just in the middle of warehouse district, so I'm hoping our stuff is safe.  It's only $26/mo for a 5x5+ (I say the + because it's a corner unit so it's just a little bit bigger than their advertised 5x5 but they still gave us that awesome price for just the little bit extra storage.  It is no where near full, nor will it ever be (*crosses fingers*) but at least I get the random things we don't need like our camping gear and the Christmas stuff out of the apartment since we don't have the space for it.

Work is going well, the site is moving right along.  We recently moved into trailers and it seems like now all of the kinks are worked out and we have all of our boxes unpacked.  It was a lot of work but I think that we have a nicer set up now.

Tomorrow is one of my co-workers birthday so a few of us girls are going to take her out to lunch.  We considered getting a cake or something but decided against it, who wants all those calories anyway?? 

So things have been good lately, money is tight but whose isn't now-a-days?  I'm looking forward to getting back on my feet now that the Christmas season is over, and really praying for a nice tax return, that would be a nice boost. 

This weekend I have three things on my list, Brian & Nicole are coming down, which is awesome since I've missed her, the second is I have to get my retainers (and pay for them...) and thirdly I'm cat-sitting for the one and only Jackie.  How could you forget about your babies?? (JUST KIDDING JACK).  Should be a fun weekend, the only thing I'm not looking forward to is coughing up another $325 to pay the orthodontist.  I hate to say it but my mom was right, what's the rush, I should have waited longer to get them so I could be more financially stable but I'm so impulsive and now here I am.

Well I need to get off this computer machine and get to my work out.  I have been so unmotivated and just feel heavier every day, and I'm sure it shows.  I don't really have a new years resolution but my goal for this year is to be more conscious of my food choices and amounts and drink more water and try to cut back the soda.  I cut out soda of my diet once and that lasted about two months, I did feel better after so maybe with a little more will power I can get back on the horse and do it again.  Well that's all for now, let's just hope that I can stay motivated for the 5-10 minutes it'll take me to get changed and put the workout DVD on!!!  Ughhhhhhhhh.

Long days..

Today at work was a total nightmare. I realized that everything I have been inputting in to the owner's system at work has been off by one number for probably the last 30 or so things that I have entered, and I can't personally fix it, therefor causing someone else to fix it, but thankfully it's not 100% my fault, only about 10% lol.

So after that stressful day I took out my friend Sandy and her sweet little baby to dinner. We had a good time, I held him the whole time, I dont' know how she does it! What a stressful job it is to be a mother, and this baby does not want to be put down ever! But that does seem like more work to me.

I came home so motivated to work out and then ended up doing a few sit-ups and was bored with it, I'm so bad. I wish that I could find a lap pool to de-stress and lose some weight but there's nothing around me, and I really don't want to go downtown just to go swimming in a nasty pool, no thank you!! I wish that the pool here at my apartment complex wasn't always so clogged up with little kids, but even then it isn't big enough to swim laps in. There's this aweome pool across the street but it's for this hoity-toity tennis club that I could never afford, nor do I particularly want to. I don't know how it works, I assume it's like a normal gym but the last time I checked the dues were like $100 a month and that just seems a little ridiculous to me.

Anyway that's all I have for now, hoping to get motivated soon, I need to lose this weight, and I need to stop eating out so much, dang it's convenience!!

P90X!

Are you ready to X?!? LOL I'm not, I need to though. For those of you who don't know P90X is an intense work out program. It will definitely kick your butt, I just need to commit to it!! It's just too easy to come home after a long day of work and decide to lay on the couch rather than get motivated and burn those calories!! I went out to dinner tonight with my girl Jackie. We had a good time. I had to buy boots for work and some decorations for a co-workers upcoming birthday. The decorations were surprisingly a failure I couldn't find anything!! I should have just gone to the party store but that was at least a 20 minute drive and that didn't seem like too much fun for either of us. Maybe I'll go tomorrow or not lol. And the boots, UGH! Ridiculous they cost me $42, but my work is supposed to reimburse me, and I hope that they still will!!

Well since I haven't written in a year I hope that you feel updated.

I guess I should go work out now... or I could still watch Judge Judy, or I can exercise AND watch Judge Judy... WINNER!! LOL

Lonnnnnnng dayyyyyyyyys

Lol... seriously though I can't wait for this day to be over!  I finished my mid-term this morning and brought Daniel a surprise sandwich and now I'm watching Law & Order until 1pm when  I go pick up Dalia for our tutoring class at the elementary school.  That class is so tough!  Well not really tough just draining.  We each have two kids to tutor.  My first kid is a blast and we have such a fun time and my second girl is so uninterested in any and everything that we do that it's so frustrating!  Anyway on a lighter note... my graduation announcements came! YAY!!! I'm so excited!  And Jackie and I have a party to go to this weekend and that's going to be so much fun too!  I can't wait!
