A Better Day

So at work I'm crosstraining with everyone in the company. Meaning that I have to go and sit with people who are doing stuff that I'm not even going to do. It's just so I understand the "assembly line". For the afternoon I was up on Joshy's floor. It made me feel good to have him around. He's always been there when I fall.

But I have had an epiphany lately. I have spent the last 15 years of my life living for other people...living for stupid men who can't grow up. Three of them. And I went to school for my mom...at least at first...and of course I have to live everyday for Gabby. But now I have the perfect opportunity. I gave up so many job options to stay here in SA to be with JC because HE said he wanted to move in together...and HE said he wanted to marry me and have babies. So for the last two years...and especially for the last 8 months since I graduated...I lived basically to accomodate him. So....now I can do what I want. I can try to let go of all the silly fears that keep me from doing what I want. And I have wanted to be a personal trainer for forever. I think I would be so good at it. When I was working out hard...and lost so much weight...and was healthy...I actually had like 3 different people at work sign up at the gym...and everyone went on a healthy diet that year. I think I can motivate...and I think I can sell.

So...I talked to Ray the Savior today during my workout. And I'm just gonna do it. I probably have about 6 to 7 months of hard training to get back to where I was before I fell into the beerfest and Ci Ci's pizza trap...but I can do it. There's nothing to stop me.

Last time JC and I broke up I met a really cute guy at school named Alex. I really liked him. Not so sure he liked me...but that was ok...then JC came back into my life and I forgot Alex. Today at work I met a cute French guy named Alex...weird.

Jessica's trip was good. There were some emotional moments, but the first day she was here...we cleaned...then on Friday we went and had the BEST dinner at Fleming's Steakhouse and Wine Bar. We drank a bottle of wine...had the best champagne infused Brie, and ate some rib eyes...Jess had mashed potatos with a gargonzola butter!!! And we had a VERY cute and nice waiter named Travis. Ask for him if you go there. I told Jessica, "I could go for some Travis." And then...thought...I've already been there done that with those waiter people and it's NOT good!!! Shopping on Saturday, and on Sunday we went and did a drive through safari. Jessica got slobbered on a lot more than Gabby and I did. She had to hold her hand out the window because it smelled like buffalo breath. So, I may not have been in the best of moods, but I did enjoy her visit. Especially that dinner...and the first night when we drank a few bottles of yummy wine...oh and we watched Marie Antoinette and A Very Long Engagement and The Notebook. Really great girly time. We even had Gabby taking out every bag of trash when we cleaned. And Jessica vacuumed my blinds.

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
