I love summer time. Its full of trees, flowers, nice weather and fun outdoor activities. Its a great time to get together with some friends and sit on a patio somewhere and have a few beers.
I love my husband...he is so wonderful. ( I know vomiting sounds are happening on the other end but thats ok)
I have decided that I love school...well I always knew i loved school but I realized just how much I love it when I am in the work force working at a crappy ass job. True that will change when I find a job I like but for now professional student is where its at.
I love animals. They are so cute and cuddly (most of them) I wish I had a whole farm of cats, dogs, bunnies, horses..basically all the cute and cuddly animals
I love food.

Losing Weight....it sucks!
I am currently trying to eat healthy and lose some weight (again). I don't know how many times I have gone down this path but enough is enough!! It is time to lose weight and be healthy.
The problem is its a challenge, a challenge to stick to the plan and follow through on every aspect of this process. Watching what you eat, exercise regularly are a large part and well when you love food and do not like exercising it becomes a challenge!
So far eating healthy has been okay. I have been watching what I eat, incorporating more fruits and veggies into my diet and cutting out carbs. I would say this is the hardest part as carbs are the best food there is but so far its going okay. There is the odd time where I crave something that is full of sugar and fat but I usually resist the urge to eat such things.
The other half of this process is exercising which has been a challenge. I am not fond of exercising. Going to the gym is a dreadful chore that I cannot bring myself to do which means being creative and thinking of other ways to get in shape. I have taken up walking, sort of. While I do not go everyday like I should, I try to go three or four times a week. Of course life comes up and there are certain things that take priority over walking. Its hard to get motivated to get up and go for a walk. In the mornings before work, I tell myself over and over that I should be going for a walk instead of writing about it but its just so hard to get up and be that motivated in the morning. All I want to do is relax and enjoy my morning in my jammie's before a long day of work!
No one said this process would be easy and its not. Anyone who has tried to lose weight and get healthy knows its a lot of work but worth it in the end. I am going to keep going and hopefully find success and the end!!

decision made
It has arrived, decision making time. I made the choice successfully, however, I still feel bad about it. I don't feel like I made the wrong choice, but I do feel bad for those I have to tell of my leaving. I do not like confronation, I guess no one really does and while this is confrontation is not end of the world confronation nonetheless I am not looking forward to telling them I found a better job opportunity. I hope its a clean cut, no questions, just a nice to have met you see you around sort of encounter.
I hope this new job works out, nothing worse than giving up a job you already have for a job you know nothing about. Keep your fingers crossed, the last thing I want to be doing is job hunting, again.

Decision Making
Decision making is hard, well for me it is, why is this so? Is it conscience related or just so extremely stressful that I would rather not bother? The larger decisions in life are of course much more difficult than the less important ones, but for me any decision I have to make big or small is difficult. Those who can make a decision in the blink of an eye are great people. For me any decision entails indecisiveness, much thought and most importantly stress which usually ends in someone else making the decision for me.
The current decision I am battling with is between two jobs, a job I currently have in which the pay and hours suck but the people are great thus far. I have done this sort of job time and time again and know how the routine works. It also has no room for growing, a part time receptionist is what I started as and a part time receptionist is where I shall end.
The other job is one I recently had a interview for in which I have never done before, the hours are not really any better than the current job but the flexiblity of hours are there which will allow me to spend more time with family, friends and most importantly concentrate on school. It is also flexible in the way which there is room to move around in the company, my position will not be at a standstill forever. I am not sure about the pay but it can't be any worse than my current job.
Both jobs have their ups and downs. The second job sounds much better to me however the decision on which one I should take is still rattling my brain. But perhaps its not the decision moreso than my conscience that is making this decision difficult. If I quit the first job I will feel bad for letting those people down and wasting everyone's time and energy on training me only to leave them a week later. The people are really nice and I have started to like them. The job isn't that bad but I must think about the future especially when it involves school. My current job, the flexibility is not there, I must work the days alotted as I am the only one to do that job on those days.
I must look at it in this light, I need to look out for me and do what is best for me because no one else is going to, especially those at my current job. If the second job is more flexible with hours and will allow me to maximize my potential at school then perhaps that is the direction I need to go in. I am a student, evenings and weekends are going to have be filled with a meaningless job that is only a means to end.
Hopefully with this thought process, thinking it over and talking it over with some more experienced decision makers I will be able to make this decision easily when the time comes to do so.

Wooohooooo
Almost done exams!! One more left to go on monday morning at 9 am! Yeah, crappy time for an exam but when its your last one who cares....well last one for two months. At least I will get a two month break, sure will be filled with a 40 hour work week but sometimes working is better than writing essays and studying for tests, until you realize that the crappy job you are in sucks and school is way better. But a break from school will be nice!

Meh!
I am at school, bored. I came to study for a final, i studied for the morning, my study buddy went home to nap, hence i am bored. I should study more but the way i figure is, this class is a lose-lose situation. I do really well in partciatption and attendance and then screw up on all tests even though i know the material in and out, so i am not sure what i am doing wrong so i am going to not stress about it, study a little more and just write the damn thing!
I am also pretty sure i have pink eye which really helps out the studying situation, i want to scratch my eyeball out..however i am trying oh so hard to not touch it as to not infect the rest of the world.
The weather is crummy and i just want to go home. Soon, in like five or so more hours

Waiting...
I am not a fan of waiting...esepcially when I have to wait by myself!! Currently I am sitting at home waiting for people to deliver furniture, this is the worst waiting, when they give you a timeframe. At least its not as bad as the phone company where they might be here somewhere between 9-5, this is a two hour window but still pick a time and get your ass here! Do you think I have nothing better to do with my time then sit here all morning and wait!! I am a student I have tons of other things to do. While I could be studying right now, I choose to wait. It would be my luck I start and get into it and they knock on my door. All I can say is they better hurry up!!
