I feel like a lot has changed in over a week. I thought an update was in order before I crash tonight. Tonight was spent relaxing as I was exhausted from working all week. The girls went out, but I passed and actually enjoyed a nice quiet evening. It is one of the first nights in awhile that I just purely enjoyed being by myself and didn't have all that lonely crap to deal with. While I am definitely an extravert (as anyone who knows me will confirm), I do still enjoy my down time by myself and often I can be quite productive during that time...however recently my broken heart has not allowed that enjoyement lately because I have been trying any and all ways to distract myself away from my thoughts.

O.k. so first things first: drum roll......I have a full-time job. It looks like I will not be returning to waitressing at this time...after of serious of random events at work, a full-time night position came open and it looks like (we're talking like 99% sure) that I will get the position. I will be working 5pm-3a 35-40 hours a week. So I know the hours are random...but they are indeed full-time hours that will bring me paid time off and full benefits. There has even been some talk that I should consider a supervisor position....I am holding off on that one for now though. My job on campus finally ended. While I had a wonderful boss, it feels like a burden has been lifted off me now that I have that one less responsibility. I think I am going to enjoy being spread less thin this next year.

Weight loss is coming along..slowly but surely...I am averaging about 1-2 pounds a week...my unofficial loss according to my scale is 22 (will keep you posted on the official soon). I have pretty much went down a pant size now and things are starting to appear big on me...a great feeling that I haven't felt in a looooooooong time. I am hoping that my Carrabba slurge tonight did not hurt it. Kaden...well he is being the average puppy..biting, etc. He is quite the fan of the Chicken Bryan from Carrabba's as well ( I know..I don't feed him all the time..just special times) I am getting to a point where I am leaving him out in the house when I am gone and he has done great at using the pee pads. I am getting his haircut for the first time this Sunday..they said it would take 3-4 hours! I mean for the love are they going to give him highlights and perm? I know I should try to cut it myself... but I screwed up even trying to cut around his eyes...I will dish out the money to the professionals.

I have several new additions to my home...I bought a wine cabinet and a new television. Yes, for all my males friends..I finally upgraded to a 27 inch television (and trust me it was quite the adventure for me and Stacey to get it home!) And then I got sucked into buying an mini-ipod as well....however it will be put to good use..tonight I have been compiling an exercise list. Not to worry..I assure that my spending does not mean that I suddenly have an overabundance of money...just that I am doing credit...pay off..spend..credit..pay off..spend. I am getting things that I want one at a time and then paying them off (and hey it should be good for my credit as well). And let's be honest the mini ipod is the coolest toy I have had in a long time. I am really becoming a electronic junkie...at least for a girl I am.

O.k. now I have a huge tanget I could go on about love, etc. , but I am tired and I am sure that you are getting bored with rambling by this point...so it will have to wait till the next time.
