So I wake up this morning next to, yes, to the man of my dreams. The fuzzy one in my arms...the people one I snuggle up against every night. How did I get so lucky? I'm having a "I love my life" moment these last two days. I look back at what I thought my life would be like when I grew up and never did I imagine it this way. Going with my man on Friday the 13th to get a new tattoo then head over to a burlesque show. Finding myself at a bank, refinancing my new car (no cosigner, a great credit score, all by myself). Talking to the loan officer about what I need to do to buy a house. I NEVER thought I'd be able to do these things. And yet here I am, and things are happening. GREAT things. I'm sitting here in my craft room, the sun is out. Fuzzies are on the balcony, Boo is snoozing in bed, and I'm typing up a blog before I get to see two of my favorite clients (a yellow lab and a bug/chiuaua mix with a face only a mother (and his petsitter) could love). Yes, I couldn't really have dreamed up a better plan.
So what have I been up to lately besides joining america in a life of debt?! LOL. I've been working, a lot. I absolutely love my job, but damn it runs me to the ground some days. I could be there 24/7 and still have work to do. It's nuts. And, at my job, when you're good at what you do, people take notice and ask you to do more. I'm ready for vacation!
Speaking of vacation. I'm going to Walt Disney World....with my DAD! I NEVER thought the day would come where I was spending a week with my Pops. I'm so excited. Of course I'm excited for the obvious, a week in Disney World, visiting the Harry Potter Park (seeing a whore!), but I'm also excited to spend time with a family that I don't really know, but love. Definitely stoked about that.
I also talked to my Gramma this week. Sometimes it's a hard call to make, since I've removed myself from that side of the family all in an effort to keep my life pure and drama free (well, as drama free as a normal life is). But it sucks when I can't talk to her. I do love her, I just can't deal with the company she keeps. Anyway, it was nice to talk to her. Had to find out about some family medical history (don't worry, I'll be here for years to come!). It was interesting to learn more about the women on the maternal side.
Speaking of women...I went to my first PBWC (Professional Business Women Conference) a couple of weeks ago at the Moscone Center. I listened to Jackie Speier, Lee Woodruff, the CEO of Myspace and a couple of other speak. They were SO inspiriting. I'm thankful that I have a job that sends me to these things! I was so inspired that I've decided it's finally time to go back to school and finish up my bachelor's degree. And lucky for me, I have a job that will pay for it! What's up!
Last thing I feel like I need to do is follow up with the Doc to see about a final surgery since my gastric bypass - skin removal. I don't know why I procrastinate so much. But now, it's time. I would love to see this extra skin gone...probably squeeze me down a size or so. But even so I'm so happy to be the size I am vs. the size that I was.
Today I hope to get some scrappy goodness done. Maybe post a few pics of layouts. Watch some girly movies while my boo is out playing with the boys. We'll see if I end up cleaning house instead. LOL. I hope everyone out there is doing well. Its hard for me to get on here and update my blog, but I think about it all the time. Oh please, can we get more time in a day?
