Just finished taking libby, the great dane, to lowe's. She pulled hard, she busted blood vessels in my hand. But I love her

Sun is shining. Work day is winding down. Get to spend time with friends later. Who could ask for more?

Moving

So I made the move to the thriving metropolis of Gvegas. Shocker after saying I would never work back here again - funny how things work out exactly opposite of how you think they should. But for all the shock and awe of being back at the corporate level again - I am so sad about everything else that is happening around me. Jobs are going left and right - and now that I know what's happening, I could see how it came about from way back when. Things slowly winding down, production cuts, etc; I'm trying to find a way to keep my "family" close to me.

On other notes, I am still trucking along in the single life and grateful for that tiny treasure at the moment. I want someone around, but not enough to commit myself to someone right now. I have too much emotion in me to try and drag someone else into that mess at this point. Besides all my emotional turmoil, I want someone that will actually care about me.

I'm taking charge of some things in my life - one being my health. I am watching what I eat, joined the local Y today so I can workout on a daily basis. I moved out and moved in with my dear friend L. I'm more reflective than I have been in a long time. Really taking time to analyze me and what I want out of life. I'm tired of being taken for granted, tired of being walked out to make everyone else happy. I am who I am. I like who I am - I will give you my all and nothing more. Use me once and I have nothing for you. Take me for granted and you can learn to do it for yourself. I am going to be stronger, mentally and physically and find my "niche" in the world. I want to be...for lack of better quote....all that I can be. And I'm going to get there with or without you.

2009 - The Year of Babies

I have ten friends/family having babies this year (or have already have them). I am so excited!!!!

I have two new baby loves already this year with tons more on the way. I got to visit with two soon-to-be mommies and two new-mommies yesterday and I got emotional.

KT almost made me cry - she is in awe of her little boy.

Absolute little miracles.

Can't wait to meet the rest of them - Auntie M is going to be busy this year!!

Fired up...

I am wired today. How I operate at work determines (most of the time) how I operate when I get home. For example - boring day, I am worn out and go to bed early when I get home.

Today, you ask? BUSY! I worked my little fingers to the bone routing shipments and sending emails all while maintaining the claims/work comp department and my own "normally scheduled" HR job.

As a result, when I got home - I could not stop trying to find things to do. I cleaned the kitchen, emptied the dishwasher, got the recycling together for Friday, cooked & ate dinner and then started on my room. I finally had to say, enough is enough or I will never go to sleep tonight. (hehe)

Now, I believe I will wind myself down, read a book, maybe eat a nice, cold Minute Maid icee thing and watch NCIS before bedtime. I need a massage too - anyone know of a good place around here?

Changes

It is such a nice change of pace when you are with someone that you can tell wants to be with you. Tells you that you look nice, tells you that you are wonderful/amazing, and that they are so glad to be with you. It is appreciated so much more after being in a "relationship" with someone that has never told you that you looked nice or that they were glad to see you or that they missed you or are lucky to have you in their lives.

May those people that don't say that to the person they are with rot in hades.
