Just a reminder, for anyone who’s interested in still following, I have moved over to www.givingyoumybest.blogspot.com !

It’s a blog between my Mom and I, and we’d love to have you visit =)

Please come follow me at my new blog (shared with my mom!), very excited about this new adventure =)

Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful Saturday morning!

I know its been awhile and I have lots to catch up on but for the interim check out this company I have been helping out with:

http://www.healthangle.com/

and for their FB page click here, http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/HealthAngle/126511144832

HealthAngle is comprised of an assortment of patient narratives describing different medical procedures. Knowing what to expect is a great way to soothe ones nerves while also keeping you informed; when it comes to your health what is more important?

Anyways, I will be coming back to the blogging world shortly with a brand new blog! Very exciting =)

Thanks for all the words of encouragement, the comments and messages I recieved have all been so sweet. Unemployment is such a difficult time, its not a “vacation” when you are constantly worrying about money and finances but I am confident things will work out, I just need to be patient. Yesterday I was in a total fog and basically just counted down the hours until it was exceptable for me to hit the hay. Ironically enough by the time it was “exceptable” I got hooked into show after show, Flipping Out and Parenthood – both mindless entertainment, exactly what the doctor ordered.

However, today is going to be a better day =) I am convinced! Oh and NO more emotional eating!! I may be saying this 5 additional pounds too late but its a start! haha I need to get back into the swing of things and find a groove – one that involves exercising on a daily basis. I have been slacking big time.

In other news check out these amazing pictures of China.

The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind. I feel as though I am going thru the motions but not really experiencing them, if that makes sense? Need to learn to let go and embrace the fact that there is some plan set in motion for me and I will eventually fall into step with it.

This past weekend G and I spent the entire weekend together and weren’t, completely, at each others throats so I think thats a good sign 🙂  Started off the weekend with a short run (moved verrrry slowly), dinner, walked down to the main drag for some asian styled dessert and then topped off the night with a movie (10pm showing I might add – felt way cool). Saturday we actually slept it! It was a miracle, when I discovered it was 10 am I couldn’t believe it. My internal clock typically has me dragging myself out of bed by 9 am the latest. What was suppose to be a cheap, relaxing weekend turned into a slightly expensive/stressful one. On our way to Walden pond, G’s car started to act funny. So we made a pit stop at Sears and came to find out the battery died, right then and there in the parking lot. I was reminded of the goodness of people when as we sat there trying to figure out a solution to our problem a car pulled up asking if we needed help; not knowing what the exact problem was we politely said no. We headed into Sears to find some tools and some stranger overheard our convo and offered his services. Being a mechanic we accepted his offer and before we knew it he had taken out our old battery and installed a new one. Crazy! It really is amazing how kind and generous people are. Over and over again I find myself in awe. Lately, during this upsetting and chaotic time in my life people have truly shown me what compassion is all about. I am so grateful :0)

So we continued our voyage to Walden pond, found a place to plant ourselves and finally found some relaxation! That is until little black bugs continued to incessantly drop on our blanket, inevitably leaving me with the heebie jeebies

Classic Cull – so goofy! (the blondie) Definitely his granddaughter! Mamarita! My aunt looks so pretty in this one 🙂 Happy Hump Day Everyone!!

Sooo typically when you give your current boss two weeks notice you do it with the intention of leaving for another job. Well that is not always the case as I discovered last week The “great” new company that hired me two weeks ago rescinded their offer the day before I was set to leave my current position. Awesome.

It’s starting to come along!

“I go to work with Dad, chew gum and put it in my pocket” She’s an odd little duck. Lastly – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUNKALUNKA OOOOO LALA OHHH HOT DAMNNNN BOWWW CHIKKA WOOWWOOOW BOYFRIEND 😉 25. You old geeza you.

You know someones right for you when you are hunched over in pain, looking and feeling your absolute worst and he still thinks you are boootiful 🙂

And willingly hops out of bed, puts clothes on and runs to the store for some much needed meds…you da bomb.

Sorry for not being the most eloquent with words. Sorry for talking about food so much. Sorry for claiming to be non-competitive and then eagerly trying to kick your ass at everything :-p Sorry for my constant chatter/desire to travel. Sorry for analyzing and looking into EVERYTHING. What I’m most sorry about is that I didn’t meet you sooner because as it turns out I really just wanna “love ya and treat ya right” muah!  HAPPY 6 MONTHS BABE! What a milestone, think we are going places 😉 Iceland, perhaps?

So I think it has been pretty clear to my friends, family and co-workers that I am checked-out. My work is just not all that appealing or interesting to me and I am completely aware that at this point I am not helping myself or the company by staying. Sooo it is a good thing that I got a…

       NEW JOB!!!

Yes, people I am moving on =)  I am so thrilled and just over the moon excited. It is absolutely perfect for me. It is for a non profit, one in which I will be working with families and also surrounded by a group of terrific women on a daily basis. To top it off the hours are right up my alley (8-4:30, love having that extra half hour before rush hour!) and the benefits are even better than my current ones (6 vaca weeks? Shite fo real?!), but the real selling point is that I will leave work feeling as though I helped someone, even if in the smallest of ways. Right now it is difficult for me to leave work happy. My days are filled with filing and serving. For the most part the lawyers are lovely men and women but I just don’t relate well.

Anyways, I am not sure how this will effect my blogging. Typically I blog during work hours and seeing as though my new job will actually consist of real work I find it doubtful that I will be with you all during the daytime hours. However, I do believe the time has come and a laptop is needed. Once that happens I will become a night owl blogger!  

The new gig does not start until the 30th soooo I’ll be back in all likely hood tomorrow! Adios ladies (and those few gentlemen that eye my scattered lil blog) hope you are all having a fantastic day =)

Loving Shark Week on the Discovery channel but I think this cartoon may be onto something…
