- Hubby and I are babysitting our niece and nephew tonight (age 3 and 1 1/2). Kids are a lot of work! I was exhausted by the time they went to bed. I think I really will be okay if we never become parents. I'm used to the life I have now I guess.
- I'm excited that my nephew Reed who is 15 is applying to be an exchange student next year for an entire year. He wants to go to a Spanish speaking country so we shall see. Wherever he goes I'll be visiting him. If he does get into the program and spends his junior year of high school abroad, I'll be so dang excited for all that he will get to experience. It will open his eyes to the world and he'll come home fluent in another language! If it is Spanish then he and I can have secret conversations in front of our other family members!
- We are car shopping. Tarzan has been looking for me and in the next week or two I'll go with him to do some test drives. I need a new car. Our 2001 Cadillac, while totally awesome to drive and so very comfortable, is stalling now and then and I don't feel safe driving it.
- I'm studying for my PMP certification (Project Management Professional), it's a total pain to study but I hope to take and pass the test by February. I should have taken it 6-7 years ago when my company would pay for it, but I was lazy. Now I have to pay for it on my own, but my company is pretty much making me do it. However it will be good to have in case I get laid off again someday.
- Tarzan has had a ton of job interviews lately! Woohoo! After 8 months laid off, his activity is really picking up. He's averaged 1 interview per week the entire 8 months, but this week he had 5 interviews. One of which was a second interview and he is already scheduled for the final interview on Tuesday - that one looks really promising. It's only 2 hours from our house so he could rent an apartment or cottage for awhile and come home on the weekends. He has some more interviews next week in Chicago and Northern Indiana - a bit farther away, but we don't care......just give him an offer!
- I've continued going to yoga 4-5 days per week and am doing the level 2 classes now, but I have yet to lose any weight. It's making me mad. I may have to go on Weight Watchers or something to lose the 8 pounds. I suppose I have to give up the ice cream since my metabolism is crap now that I am in my 40s.

I really don't have much to say lately, so here are some bullets.

I am so proud of your nephew! If only more kids his age were willing to go abroad and see the world. There's no better way to experience a country than to live there :)
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my fingers crossed for Tarzan's job search!
You have lots to blog about it seems! Fingers crossed for a job for Mr. T.
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh, you want to do weight watchers to loose 8lbs, your hilarious!! Try a juice cleanse/diet. I'm getting ready to start one. Basically you just drink the juice and eat protein (lein turkey or chicken/eggs) for a week and it makes you feels great and i usually looke about 5 to 10lbs! I'll be talking about it on my blog in the next few weeks, in anticipation of my annual trip to ohio to work/visit G's family.
ReplyDeleteDo you get a lot of "you don't need to lose weight, you look great" comments? Because "you don't need to lose weight, you look great." But I know that this is all so very personal. I wouldn't worry about the number on the scale. You are exercising and you are healthy! You talk a lot about loving the life you have. Love the body you have too! Ironic as this is going to sound, I actually am changing my body but it is only after I changed my mind. Love your wiggle. Love your jiggle.
