so far 2008-not so hot
Ths year has to better than last year, right?? Please?
Ali Edwards has this one little word/ word of the year to help keep you focused and on track. My word is : achieve. I want to achieve something this year.
Maybe it's because I'm turning 40 in 4 months (ugh) but I need to make some changes. I want to lose those 20 lbs that seem to love me so much. I want to figure out what to do with my life. It's about time, doncha thing? I've always been a late bloomer, though.
So I've got a job. It's really been getting on my nerves. For one things, it's 25 miles one way so you figure it's nearly $7 in gas A DAY! For another, it's just not well run company. I could think of so many ways to make things better. Also, they've changed my hours to some evenings and I HATE that. I hate working nights. It just brings back bad memories of working those hours when I was alone, more broke than I am now, and just lonely.
So I've been working at getting a job working from home. Basically doing the same thing (customer service) but at home. I really want to do that. I'm basically waiting for an oppurtunity. But I get so impatient, it's not funny! But I was told at my job that there will be a chance for me to get a promotion. But some how I just wasn't excited about it. I guess because I've want to work from home for so long. I guess I'm tired of the rat race.
So I have to figure out how to do this. How am I going to make this work? How will I lose this weight? I know for me Atkins works. I'm never hungry. But if Husband isn't doing the same diet, it won't work. I know I need to excersise, it's just nearly impossible for me to when I'm working these insane hours.
That's why so far, these first 5 days of the year-eh. whatever.

25 weeks = 25 pounds
I decided since I'll be 40!! in 2008, I want to make some changes, do the things I always talk and dream about.
First thing that came to mind: lose 25 pounds in 25 weeks. My b'day is May 1st. I'm about 130 lbs and 5" tall, so I'd be on target if I lost 25.
I have a few other goals, like get super organized, save $2500, and will make them into a mini album soon. But I wanted to post this now to keep myself accountable. YIKES! Atkins worked well for me, but it's hard to incorporate if dh is watching his weight because he does it by eating tons of chicken, fish and veggies. And Atkins is bacon bacon bacon. So we'll see. I need to decide this week what to do and how!
so excited.

the day today
I had a pretty good day today. I started my new temp job, and everyone seems nice. It's kinda cool working a temp job because it's less pressure to get along, or really love the job.
It's pretty far from home, so that sucks. But there's some cool shopping around there including a scrapbook store, and a Goodwill outlet store. Can't wait to check them out.

hmmm
Being unemployed, again, is weird. I always feel like I've forgotten to go to work or something. It's not as relaxing as I would have thought. I guess because of, you know, $$. And there's so much I want!! Cocoadaisy.com has a new kit for sale tomorrow featuring Kristi Contes! And I'm in dire need of a good sewing machine. I bought a $20 at Target and it has no directions and doesn't go in reverse!! So I'm going to return it. I've been stalking freecycle.org in hopes someone will have one they want to get rid of.
I do start a temp job Monday, so that's good. Of course my unemployment pay took months to get to me, and since I worked 4 days at that job from hell, I probably won't get any more. Again, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to mooch off the state or anything. I just need a little bit to see me through! sigghh.
I'll be watching my stepgranddaughter today, so that'll be fun.
Later my tators.
