Dear Journal,

Christmas has now come and gone. It was stressful beforehand; receipts falling from my pockets, images of wrapping odd shaped presents clouding my mind, dollars amounts scrolling in my head spiraling larger and larger...

Christmas itself was grand. Beautiful lights. Warm smiles. Hugs that felt just right. Watching Logan, Allie, and ( Read more... )

Dear Journal,

Bah Humbug! Here I am, the Monday before Christmas and fuming. Why? The "Christmas Spirit" has come around and bit me in the behind.

Up until now I was listening to 104.5 (Christmas music) day in and day out. The kids and I sang in the morning and after school. I was whistling Christmas tunes constantly. I have been extremely excited ( Read more... )

Dear Journal,

I decided that I was going to lose my baby fat after having Audrey. So I started walking every Sunday and Wednesday for an hour. I walked with my friend Pam and my Dad's girlfriend Kris. After doing this for a few months we decided that continuing at this rate would never get rid of our jigglys.

On Wednesday I began to boost my ( Read more... )

Dear Journal,

I was receiving emails occasionally from Live Journal and I kept deleting them. Finally, one popped into my inbox and I was too curious about what I had posted in the past and what others had posted to not check it out. Man oh man, all I can say is 'wow.' I read over my previous entries and was completely and utterly shocked at what I ( Read more... )

I have always watched the ball drop in Time Square every New Year on TV. I have always dreamed about going some year. So, this year I decided that I am going to go to New York for the New Year of 2010. I think it would be the perfect year to go and it will give me time to slowly put money away for myself. You may think 'two years to save for one ( Read more... )

I got the promotion I was going for! WAH Quality Advisor. I do QA on the PALs (performance assessment liaisons). PALs are the ones that help the at home agents with anything they need. Pretty soon the PALs are going to each have teams of 40 at home agents that they will need to keep track of. I am the one (along with two others) that monitors their ( Read more... )

So, today is turkey day. I chose to be at work so that I could make the holiday pay. I have been kind of bummed all day while being here. I wanna be with family or hanging out with the friends that don't like to be with family and they make their own turkey day dinner.

On the bright side none of my friends are working so I have gotten TONS of work ( Read more... )

I went to the dentist today for the first time in years. It wasn't nearly as much as I thought it would be. It is only 300 for this time (cleaning) and Monday (check up and one filing). I can't believe after all this time I only have one filing! I also found out that my teeth have been hurting because I was using a whitening toothpaste and a medium ( Read more... )

I went over to Adam's today to pick Logan and Allie for the weekend and I saw a picture of some girl on Adam's computer as his background. I asked him and I guess he has a girlfriend. Which is funny because he got very upset when a guy would leave a comment on my myspace page! I ended up canceling my myspace because I couldn't do anything on there ( Read more... )

Ok you guys, you may think this sounds stupid but I need help with dating. When I met my ex husband... I was kind of too young for dating... it was just boyfriend/girlfriend blah blah blah. So I need you guys to tell me how this dating thing works! Are there secret rules ( Read more... )
