Professionally Unprofessional

hi there

long term lurker is back for the moment (the moment being now and then probably not updating again for a while…lets be real).  So here I am with my glass of amaaaazing Moscato (mmmm yummy) and preparing for my four day weekend.  I broke everything down in a neat little to do list…should probably pull that out…ah here we go

So yes, while the rest of the family goes to Richmond from Saturday-Monday morning, I will be here dog sitting and cleaning like nobody’s business.  Tim and I started budgets which makes me a little sad, but much needed.  I actually should be able to bank about $800 this month (that whole not paying rent bit helps although school certainly makes up for it).  I bought our tickets for Texas…almost $700.  Yeah that sucked.  So my checking account is trying to commit suicide.  Its ok, I have plenty in the secret savings account (aka the one that only gets touched if there’s an emergency or if I get married, move, etc.) but my checking account did take quite a beating.  So saving should be good.  Especially since there’s a 9 day trip to Texas in October, my 6-month car insurance payment in November and then Christmas stuff.  Ugh I don’t even want to think about Christmas…might start crying in my moscato and THAT would really make me cry.  I miss having my little blogging sessions, not gonna lie.  Life is really good but I feel like I’m always just looking forward to the next thing.  Not sure if that’s a good way to live or not or if I just need to live in the moment.  I wish I had a few more close friends locally.  I mean I do have some but their all married or have babies and I miss having girl time.  Although I can’t complain too much because I’ve been asked twice lately to do girl time and haven’t been free.

I’m 3.8 pounds away from my goal weight.  Its taken…a year and a half but I am so damn proud of how far I’ve come.  Last January I weighed almost 175.  Right now I’m at 143.8.  Yeah, I have a right to be proud of that.

This update was brought to you by Laurel’s Pandora “main station” and the lovely Moscato Provinca di Pavia by Castello del Poggio (an Italian Asti…so nommy) 

SATURDAY UPDATE:  Looks like I’m a bit behind…guess I’ll really have to get cracking today!
