The first week of my mission to fit into my summer clothes is almost over. I'm doing really well. Started at 170lbs (holy shit, how did I gain 30 pounds in a year?) and I'm already down to 164.4lbs. I'm happy with that. Basically I am too cheap/poor to buy new summer clothes, so I'd rather just fit back into the ones I already have, lol. I think I only need to get down to like 150lbs for that too happen. I'm not in any rush though, it's not gonna be warm until like July anyway.
I'm looking forward to Will getting home so I can have some veggie pizza, mmmmmm, pizzzza!

sweaty!
Did my first run today, and man did I forget how much I love running. Did a mile in 11.45 minutes, which is pretty good considering its been 2 years since I've worked out. I can probably get that down to 10 minutes in a couple of weeks. Thinking if I keep on track I can probably loose a few lbs this week, but i'll keep you updated on my progress. Just the lbs lost, a lady never tells her weight or age, lol. Just kidding, I'm no lady.
Parents are coming in today for a visit, which will be nice. And I believe they are gonna take us out to dinner at Boston Pizza. I was looking online to see the calories in some of the stuff they serve there. Blew my freakin' mind. A greek salad is 1040 calories...for a fucking salad. Thats crazy.
Guess I should shower and get dressed or something...my parents probably don't wanna see sweaty gross Siobhan

Got my treadmill!!! And it only took an hour or so to set up. So I'm having my final blow out night of pizza and wine before I get back to health.
Will also broke our coffee maker the other day so we picked up a programmable one at Canadian Tire for only like $30.00. Pretty good deal.
Well I need to get back to my wine, and order us some pizza.

v-day,work,other....
Had a lovely valentines day. We went out for lunch at Cyranos, then came home and we cooked dinner together. Pretty chill. But it's always nice to actually spend some time with Will, lol. I don't get to do that much. I made (Will mostly just cut stuff, lol) steak, sauteed mushrooms with gravy, garlic mashed potatos, steamed broccoli/cauliflower, and cupcakes for dessert. Oh and of course bubbly...maybe a little too much bubbly. I normally wouldn't say that but I vaguly remember stumbling up the stairs to bed and Will claims I was slurring the words while playing Guitar Hero...thank god I'm a hot drunk, LOL!
Lots of stuff going on on the work front. Will has the possibility of getting a keyholder postion at H.O...which hopefully would mean more money. And they are making me backup (yes backup to something ELSE) retention, which could possibly make me more money. And thank god for both of those things. Financially we aren't actually doing too bad, but extra money never hurt anyone.
I'm gonna go buy a treadmill tomorrow. I finally got frusterated with myself enough to bite the bullet. I miss running and I just never felt like I was actually getting a workout on the eliptical. So wish the Scottish in me good luck...I'm totally gonna need a glass of wine after spending that much money.

update...finally
Phew, been so busy I haven't been able to update this thing. Finally done training and now I'm back to phones until they decide I'm training again, lol, love that job security!
I have a four day weekend which is fantastic. I spent yesterday cleaning everything and washing anything. The house looks fantastic. Which is awesome, cause now I can spend the next 3 days doing pretty much nothing. When Will gets home from work tonight we're gonna go buy some groceries for dinner tomorrow night. I think we're gonna do some steak, potato, steamed veggies, and a salad. Aaanndd depending on the basil situation I might make some pesto.
I can't wait until the summer so I can have a garden with my own herbs in it. I'm thinking I'm gonna take some time off once it gets warm and extend my garden. Maybe see if my mom wants to come help, with the promise of cocktails and free food. The people who used to live here kind of let the garden go nuts, and for some reason they put a lot of rocks in the garden. I guess I'll get Will to do all the digging and shit, and then my mom and I (pending her acceptance) can do all the fun planting and drinking, lol.
Will and I are also thinking about getting a dog. We have been checking out breeds and prices...since I'm such a cheap ass I need to make 6 or 7 lists and budgets before I can commit to anything. So far it looks like it would be completely doable. Especially if Will does get this full-time position at the end of February. We've been looking at min pins and labs so far. A lab mix would be great, mixed with a medium sized breed. Ideally we would want a medium sized dog that is fairly low key. Nothing that wants to run everywhere, lol, walks I'm okay with but I'm not going for a run with a dog when it's minus 40.

KFB
Had a fabulous KFB. Turns out were not as old as we thought, we were able to make it past midnight both Friday AND Saturday! Crazy. Although I love my ladies and I wish I could see them more, this whole drunken weekend thing can't happen more often, lol. I, apparently, am not 19 anymore. Weird.
Work is going well, still doing a lot of training and loving it. I'm hoping this might turn into a fulltime job. I don't mind being on the phones but I really love training the new hires. If we could find a way to schedule uptraining for agents who feel they need it I think it would be a very viable option to keep us on fulltime. But we will see how it goes. I am very happy with the way things are going and take it from there.
I have also been having a lot of issues with my car the past couple of weeks. The other day my car basically exploded, oil everywhere....it was bad. Turns out the motor blew and we had to get a brand new one. That was a terrible carless week. Then about 3 days after I finally got Hank back the car randomly shut itself off and would not turn back on. Turns out it has some sort of emergency security system that "thought the car was being stolen" so it disconnected the engine. Thank god that only took a day to fix. Fingers crossed that's the last issue I have for a while...

What a terrible week
So on Tuesday my car decided it no longer wanted to run, and exploded oil all over my work parking lot. After a few frantic calls to my parents, my dad got it towed and it is now being fixed. I guess the motor or something "blew". So this week I have been frantically figuring out how I am going to get to and from work...without having to take a bus. Nothing against the bus system, I've just never been on one before and to be completly honest I'm scared of them
The week ended a little nicer though. Turns out next week I will be up training CSS, which means another week off the phones. And the new class begins January 17th, so there is another 4 weeks off the phones. I'm liking this whole training thing, I wish I could do it full time.

Back to Work
My first day back to work in 5 days was quite the pleasant surprise. My schedule has me on the phones for the next 3 weeks,but it turns out it was a scheduling error and I'm actually not back on the phones until sometime in February. This made me extreamly happy! I don't mind being on the phones, but every day I am in training I realized I love it more and more. It seems like something I could actually do for a living.
After such wonderful news at work, and having a very easy yet rewarding day Will and I settled into a glass of wine and some shitty tv for the evening. Always a satisfying way to end a day.

Damn you AE
So I'm fully convinced American Eagle has changed there pant sizes AGAIN! The pants I have been wearing, and have been falling off of me are a 4. The pants I wore to go shopping today, and are a little tight, are a 2. Both are American Eagle jeans purchased in the last year or so. Today I go in to buy pants and apparently now I am an 8 or 10. Which is fine, it's just crazy how they change the sizes in that store so much. This happened a couple of years ago and that day ended with my bawling in the change room, slamming a door, and scaring the crap out of the lovely staff at the Bayshore location.
But this was a more successful today. I managed to get 2 pairs of pants, a few shirts and a sweater. All on sale. I can finally throw out my old jeans with the gigantic hole in the crotch...when it was hot I very much enjoyed the southern breeze, but now that's it's winter I need to keep my pumpum warm.
