UGH

What a week - it was horrible, it was long, it is OVER!! It just solidified the fact that I need a new job. I applied for a few jobs today, one I did not have enough experience for, and they were kind enough to email me right away to tell me. This was great, as most places are not even bothering to reply these days. This I find is rude and unprofessional. A lot of people say it is because they are getting many resumes and do not have the time, I find it an excuse. I am finding that opening my own firm may be the way to go. Believe it or not, I am hearing that this is a great idea in a recession. Who knows?!?

New Food Trials

This was my lunch, and it was not so bad. I needed more food after, but refrained.

I just ate this after my workout and it was REALLY good. It takes 9 minutes at 50% in the microwave, so that sucks.

Worked out on my lunch hour. I feel rushed, but feel good.

New Week

Breakfast this morning was a delicious quesadilla from Weight Watchers. Who knew it would be so good. I also had a small glass of orange juice. I have chicken baking in the oven for dinner, and am taking a Lean Cuisine to work for lunch. During my lunch, I will be working out. I am in a different building this week, and it happens to have the gym in it. I was planning on going to the gym this morning, but accidentally turned off the alarm instead of hitting snooze. OOPS!

Been Awhile

I am not lost...well, maybe a little.

Things here have not changed much. The house is still for sale, Ed is still in Michigan, I am still looking for a new job, and Justice is my saving grace.

I have not been doing much baking, but plan on doing so soon. I have an ad almost done, and am working on business cards.

I love and miss you all, see you soon!

New Me

Cut my hair, changed my glasses, heading back to the gym, cutting carbs. It is a new me - watch out world!

Saturday at the Jungle

Just Call Me Sally

Squeal Like A Pig!

Amanda and I headed to Jungle Jim's in Fairfield, Ohio. It is a HUGE grocery store, basically. Six acres of food from around the world. They have a section of Hot Sauces that is amazing and hilarious. I was able to find a few that made me laugh. Why "Squeal Like A Pig?" Ed & I watched "Deliverance" for the first time this week and then I saw this bottle of hot sauce. I was laughing so hard, and Amanda, thank goodness, understood.

My favorite part? I was able to pick up Tyropitas, Rock & Rye Soda, and Red & White Fusion Tea!!!!

Crazy Weather

A Few Days Ago
Today

The weather has been a little crazy the past week. As you can see from above, we went for a lot of snow to Justice hanging out on the deck in the sunshine. I love being able to have a window open in the kitchen and hearing the birds sing. Justice, as much as he loves laying on the deck in the sun, is missing the snow. I think if we moved South, he would be depressed in the winter.

Winter Storm

We had quite a storm yesterday and last night and today. We got a TON of snow and about 2 inches of ice. It was crazy. We had more than 1/2 of our staff call out today. Thank goodness for my 4 wheel drive. I cruised to work with no problems!

It took me 1 1/2 hours to shovel the driveway today. Missing Ed - he could have done it a lot quicker. It was actually quite beautiful and I love it! Justice adores the snow, but not a fan of the ice that coated everything.

Changes

I started back at the gym yesterday. It was my first day there since the knee surgery last July. It was harder going in there than I thought. I started on the elliptical, and HATED it! It actually hurt my knee, so I headed to the treadmill to walk. I walked for 5 minutes, ran for 5 minutes, walked for 10 minutes. Yep, pushed it and am paying for it. My knee is throbbing this morning!
