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.

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
