Man...I feel like this week has flown by. All week I feel like I have been chasing my tail and not getting far when doing it! I have had 2 job interviews...which I'm not too excited about. And another tomorrow. The job that I really want isn't calling people until Monday for interviews. So it's just a waiting game with them. I went to the doctor because as most of you know I don't sleep well or sometimes at all at night. So the doctor wants to try some drugs to reset my sleeping pattern. (I don't think it will work, but right now I'll try anything.)
I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting (just to see if I was going to try it) and I really think it is going to be great. So Samantha signed me up for my birthday (thanks for the early present)!!! I'm so excited about starting it. Since we have that family challenge going on and Stephen's wedding coming up I want to take a big step forward with the weight loss. I'm excited about moving...that should help with losing weight! They have a work out room that everyone can use so that will be good...that and getting a job so I'm not home all the time.
Right now I'm packing up our life...not quickly as I would like. Just a few more weeks and we will have to start moving things out of our apartment and I don't want to be packing the night before like I am on most of my moves!
Don is doing great on his weight loss...in 2 weeks he has gone down 13 pounds. He is excited about that!
Well that is all our news right now. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Exciting times at our house!
Saturday I was replanting some of my herbs...then the phone rings. Of course (you know me) I have to answer the dang thing. Just to be asked to make something for another church member. But while I was away from my pots...some of the dirt fell into my kitchen sink...while I thought I would clean it up and when I went to scoop it up...it HOPPED to the other side of the sink. While if you know me...I'm not too good with nasty frogs or anything really yukkie from the outside. So I had to go wake up my sister-in-law (Evie) to get it out (That one as only the size of a fifty cent piece). As I was placing the pots out on my porch I notice there are dime size frogs in all 3 pots...yes Miracle Grow gave me 6 small frogs in my dirt. Nice huh? I had to call Don at work to tell him and he just laughed. I went back out to take pictures of them but couldn't find any...I think they dug down into the dirt.
Then yesterday I get a call around 3pm from Don. He had to work and he normally doesn't call. It turns out he got poked at work. Okay that doesn't sound real good but that is what happened. After embalming a woman he went to do some work on her lips...the needle bounced off her lips and into his thumb cuticle. It was deep enough to get a small amount of blood out of so he had to file a report. His boss sent him to the clinic but it was closed so he went to the ER for a work up. He not only need a drug test, but they had to get blood from him and had to poke him 4 times for blood (which left nice bruises). He is being tested for all the nasty things one can come into contact with in his line of work. They have him on a ton of meds and he will have to be tested once a month for the next 6 months for AIDS and all that crap! So it was good that he had 2 days off in a row. His meds are playing with his body so hopefully by the time he has to go back to work he will be okay.
Right now I'm trying to pack things up so when we move next month everything will be done. My only problem is once I pack a box...is where to put it. There isn't much free space to place boxes. So I'm going kind of slow right now. I'm also getting ready to do a makeover night with some of the girls at the church. It's one of their activities they have planned and asked if I would help. So with the help of my friend, Kelly, I have products to use on them. I'm also making up some info for them to have from my school stuff. I figured I have paid alot for my education I could share a little of it. I hope it's goes well...I have that right before the big move. SO that will be fun planning that and getting everything packed up.
I don't think I got the job at Candlewood, but I have applied for some more jobs. Hopefully I'll hear something soon!
Well--You guys have a good week and I'll update when I know more about Don's sickness!

Just Updating you on my boring life!
Today I had a job interview. Nothing big, but it was an interview! After being told I was under qualified to be an instructor at a Cosmo school I have been bummed. But this interview was for a front desk job at Candlewood Suites. It's not the number one job I'm looking for, but it will be an income! I should know in the next couple days if I at least get a 2nd interview.
Other then that...just getting ready for our move. I think I taken down all the pictures in the house and dusted them and boxed them up. I'm excited for this move! We all will have a little more room to spread out! I know that Evie will enjoy having a space ALL to herself and not sharing it will my cosmo stuff and the food storage! (Sorry about that Evie!)
Don and I got our tickets for the trip to Indiana. That excites me to no end! To know that I am REALLY getting to go to the wedding and it's not just a pipe dream! But all that means right now it in 4 weeks it will be the race of all times to get things moved into our new apartment unpacked and get my things out of the storage unit (that is where all my Christmas stuff is) and get the Christmas tree up and ready before I leave for Indiana. It's going to be really busy but that will make the time fly fast (I hope). I'm so excited to see everyone again. I already feels like forever ago since I have been to Indiana.
Well--not a lot more to add. I'll let you know about the job. Have a great weekend!

Picking up the Pace...
Well as most of you know we have the family weight loss program starting up...and both Don and I are signed up. We shall see how that goes.
But we have found a new apartment to move into as our lease here ends. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and 3 adults we are always on top of each other. We are hoping that with a slightly bigger apartment we can spread out a little. Our square footage will be going up almost 400 sq. feet. I'm totally excited about that! We are moving mid-October up the road to a nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. I'm getting the change of address cards made up (just waiting on the right apartment number). But totally looking forward to getting out of this complex because some of our new neighbors are kind of scary! I believe there are drug dealers that just moved in to the same "building" as we live. But some of the neighbors that we liked just moved into this new complex so we are excited to know some good people there.
So life is going to start getting busy. I have gotten my state license here so I have started to apply at school and such. With getting the moving planned and done, and planning another trip to Indiana for Stephen and Jennifer's wedding...I shall be busy. I can't wait because with the move it should make the time fly.
Nothing big and wonderful is going on right now in my life but I thought I would update you on what I did find out about moving. I'll go by the new apartment complex this weekend and take some pictures. Have a great weekend and I'll post again soon!
