Well hello there!  I'm back in the swing of things...trying again...for the millionth time.  I'm not sure why I suck so bad at blogging.  I love reading blogs, I just never feel that I have anything important to say. 

So here's where we are.  I still have a monkey baby.  And I'm certainly not almost a newlywed...I'm practically not even a newlywed anymore!  I'm moving toward my 2 year anniversary in a month or so! 

So here's where we are...I got a new job back in March.  It was a very happy surprise that in some ways seemed to fall in my lap.  In other ways I fought my ass off for it.  The moral of the story is don't ever give up.  You never know when something will happen that will make everything seem worth while. 

My life is still quite boring, but I think if I could just focus on the brain clutter, I might be interesting.  So I'm back.  Making this a new priority for now...let's see what happens. 

Here's a picture of my crazy monkey...just because she's a looney toon.  she was actually annoyed that I bugged her from sleeping like that.  weirdo...

Also, does anyone else think this season of big brother is freaking AWESOME!  Way more upsets and back doors that usual.  It's a good group of players!

Blogging fail...again

So, I couldn't muster the daily picture posting. it became so daunting when I missed a few days and then I just gave up all together. It's not that I didn't think of it, or have anything to say, it's just this pressure sensor that when I open this page, I become completely overwhelmed and so I do nothing.

I hate that in life in general. It's so easy to get caught up in the everything so you choose to do nothing. I don't want to be like that, so I'm making an effort to compartmentalize and make changes that I can get my mind around. Baby steps.

I'm entering into a new time in my life. That fortune on January 1st came true. I start a new, really exciting career opportunity a week from Monday. I'm heading into my last week at a job I have held for 8 years. It's strangely bizarre to be moving on from the only company I've ever known. I'm anxious, sad, excited and nervous all at the same time. It's such a positive feeling of overwhelmed that I can't quite explain it. My coworkers and mentors are so excited and proud to see what I'm going to become. It's flattering and scary all at the same time.

So that's where I'm at. Oh, and we decided to put new floors in my entire upstairs over the past week. I'm thrilled with the result, but I find it ironic what we choose to take on and when. As if finding new suits and clothes to wear to work every day weren't enough.

I'm coming back to you baby blog. This year is going to be something, and I want to remember it

The day the tire fell in the pool

 

So, we have a dog...and a pool. We don't want the dog to fall in the pool this winter, so we built a barricade. As mentioned earlier tonight, it fell in today. Stupid wind.

So I thought I would capture the beauty that is currently my back yard. Artistic snowflakes and all.

Fit bit'n

In case you haven't been made aware of the awesomeness of the Fitbit, I will enlighten you. This tiny device will track your steps using the Nintendo Wii technology as well as you total caloric burn based on your basal metabolic rate. It's fantastic.
