[jennlin]

i had a good time yesterday. i had a few friends come over with their babies..the friends are old coworkers from back when i used to work at banana republic, over 7 years ago. both people that came over, i hadn't seen in give or take 6 years...and the three of us have kids close in age, so we decided to meet up. so yay for facebook!

today, having some another friend and her h come over for some chitchat time.

nothing remotely healthy, other than working out those kegels today

I had an interview yesterday that went decently well. There would be little to no travel involved, i'd split my time between working from home, an office 10 min from my house and everett. I should hear back by next week. Then I have a phone interview today for a long term contract position where id mostly get to work from home. I just need one of these to pan out or else I'm going to need to quit my job completely till this dog thing gets under control.

Nothing even close to healthy yesterday. I'm determined to get her out on a long walk tonight though.

And really? Its only Wednesday? Fml.

Morning everyone! Last night Major Tom bit W pretty bad so we spent the night in the emergency room. Everything is fine but she has to take antibiotics in case there was something gross in his mouth.

Today is the first day of PAX dev, which is the part of PAX that feels like work. I don't even have business cards; I'm going to have to borrow some blank ones from a sales guy lol.

Looking forward to the rest of the week. Have a good one everybody!

Today is a furlough day in my district. We were told not to work AT all, not even chalk email or we'll have to get paid. Today, I'm wonder about all those hours I worked this summer without pay already, and the unpaid hours I worked before and after school last year, and the work I do on the weekends, all unpaid?

UW, Hugs and interview vibes to you!

Niq, that's crazy that Major Tom sent your W to the ER! I'm glad she's ok!

This week is so hectic, I'm ready for it to just be over. Nothing bad, just too busy. I'm kind of doubting a workout will happen tonight, but I get to see my cousin who is home from the air force and meet his [as of last weekend] fiance, and I'd rather do that. H and I also have a bunch of errands to run for our camping trip this weekend. We finally settled on going with friends up to our usual spot by Lake Wenatchee, so now we just have to get organized to leave Friday after work.

Good morning.

Tman got sick yesterday as reported around like 4pm or so. He voluntarily went to bed and slept for a couple hours. He woke up around 6:30 in great spirits and wanted eggs and toast. He gobbled it all up, watched some TV with us, wrestled around with James a little bit, took a bath and was in bed around 9pm. He woke up around 11 throwing up again. Not sure what's going on. After that, he slept through the rest of the night, woke up about 45 minutes ago and seems fine so far this morning. I hope it's over.

Today is making up for the housework I couldn't do yesterday with the water off. Hopefully Tman will be fine today, but I'm going to try to stick around here just in case. I'd hate for him to barf in public or in the car.

I ate reasonably healthy yesterday but went to bed feeling full so I must have eaten too much. I'm not tracking calories, which I probably should. Today, I just need to get my eating under control and hopefully get a walk in with Sadie and the boy (it's okay if he barfs in the bushes on the side of the road, right?).

Work rules are so weird sometimes. I assume this is some sort of budget band-aid?

Good morning. I'm off to work. E and I slept well last night which was amazing! He also went to bed smiling instead of fighting it. Tonight I have lime cilantro chicken in the crockpot for dinner and my dad is coming over so he can play with E for a bit.

Good morning! I was good with food and got a workout in yesterday, and will probably do the same today.

I'm kind of sad, because no one has said anything to me about looking thinner or anything since we've started the healthy challenge. I've lost about 9 1/2 lbs, and am 5'3" so there should be a little bit of a noticeable difference to others. I shouldn't be such a whiny AW, but it sucks that all my hard work isn't showing

Good morning! Yesterday I got back into the swing of things, got groceries, deep cleaned our place, ate healthy and hit the gym. I'm feeling great today! I've also decided to dye my hair back really dark. I've got 2 bottles of soft black in my bathroom ready to rock.

Morning.

I woke up with bumps on the palm of my right hand. No idea what they are. I've been googling and it doesn't appear to be bed bugs, since they're just in one place on my body and these are super tiny.

Movers were walking in when I walked out this morning.

3 bumps would/could be a spider bite. that's all i know. how many bumps are there?

Morning! Weekly weigh-in shows I gained a pound and while I wasn't great with calories, I know I only failed in losing weight counts, not in GAINING weight counts :@ Honestly though, I was shocked by 2# weight loss last week as my eating/exercise didn't account for it, so I think I was really dehydrated, which would mean the gain was really just in rehydrating. That makes more sense, a maintenance week, which is what I expected. At least this may get me off my duff and back to making an effort again as I'm over 150 a smidge and I'm not "safe" until I'm back to 145.

Went to Ikea last night, bought a new bookshelf but was too tired so went to bed early. Plan tonight to assemble it then put all the crap on it so I can make space on my table to get to sewing! I've decided for now I'm going to not attach the back as I may decide to buy more paint to paint the back of the new shelf, but I won't have time for a few weeks.

Boss is out sick today (after being off Mon-Tue and out early on Fri for vacation) and work is quiet, so I imagine I'll be super bored here in another few hours.

5 or 6. All but two have kind of faded down. The two larger ones kind of itch, but look like they might be going down too. I'd be okay with spider bites.

I had orientation at PetSmart yesterday. Just filling out paperwork, doing boring training notebooks.

I work till 6 today, I'm tempted to take a bunch of stuff home and work from there. I was carrying my water bottle and the lid wasn't secured properly and so water was leaking all over my hip. I was so confused for a second, I was thinking, what the hell is on my hip! Fail!

Have a good day!

Mgoss, since I only just met you at the GTG I don't have anything to compare to how you looked before the challenge, but I wanted you to know that IMO I don't think you need to lose anymore. You look GREAT how you are now!

I have had a busy morning. I had to drive into Seattle today to have my fingerprints taken and do a drug test for my new job. I ran into a friend while I was there so that at least made it a little more fun. Relaxing a bit while I grab lunch, then heading off to cover someone for the evening shift tonight. Can't wait to quit this job and start my new one!!

Have a great day everyone!!
