End Of The Month Updates

It is time to wrap up this month and begin the new one...as you have more than likely noticed, I've updated more often this month that I did for half of last year.

Updates so far...I've lost eight pounds! Yay! Let's keep it going...will be back to my size sixteens by my 27th birthday in March.

Other updates...I've gotten a good amount of cuddle Livi hours logged in this month...I hope to get even more this next month.

I've found the perfect Birthday gift for Jaden's 3rd birthday...Viva El Skippito Bandito!!!

I've caught up on most of my bills, specifically the two I've fallen behind on the past month.

I've gotten to work extra hours the last two pay periods, which is great! At lease seven hours of overtime pay.

I've met several people on line and got to chatting with two or three...but specifically speaking, I've gotten to know someone that is becoming very special to me...he's definitely...something.

We shall see what this new month brings...

Planned for the month of February:

Dr.s Appointment on the 1st

Jaden's Birthday on the 4th

Livi's baptism on the 6th

House hunting all month long...

And more talking with that special someone....hopefully visit plans next...

What A Wonderful Sunday!

Today was a wonderful day for sure!

I got to hold and cuddle my Livi for more than an hour.

And I had a special moment with Jaden. Incidentally, I made him cry by picking him up and calling him potato sack...something he usually enjoys.

I asked if he would forgive me for making him cry, he told me why he cried, I asked to be forgiven again and he turned and hugged my neck and said okay.

By far, the most touching moment of my year...but the year isn't over yet.

I finally told Stephen and Krysia about my secret...a secret I've shared with Becca and my mother...

A secret that I am holding close to my heart and constantly praying over as it slowly unfolds...much like a beautiful rose.

I know there will be thorns but I'm willing to risk it because it is so beautiful to watch...

I just keep praying God cover both hearts involved and guide us where He pleases...whether it be together or apart.

Finally...an update that had nothing to do with work and nothingness...looks like a good year is ahead of me!

Feeling Like Change is Coming

It's the strangest thing, really...this new year has already been cut down to eleven months and I've already done things never done before...things I won't share.

I thought I had more to share...but as it turns out, what I have to share I'm not ready to make public.

So...not much to update!

Murder By Distraction

This morning was greeted with a thank goodness I am not a nurse....with the way my head kept wandering back to the same wonderful topic, I could have killed someone...

I was so distracted, I wasn't sure whether I needed to push the up or down button to the elevator to get to the fourth floor from the third floor...so I pushed both and then realized, duh!

I have to go up.

Good thing I didn't take the stairs.

They Do Exist!

I've found out that there are men out there who can tick off every single one of the check boxes on my list of what I desire and want in a life partner and mate.

The logical side of me is screaming at me to get a grip and back up because it can't be possible...there aren't that many men that are able to be strong and yet tender...and those who are, smart girls have already snapped them up.

So what's the problem?

I don't know...now I'm just rambling...I've been doing that all day...

It's almost like all these little signs lining up and making me wonder what exactly does this year have in store for me...

My New Baby!!!

Meet my Feather...well, actually, her name is Pluma, which is Spanish for Feather. She's a very fast learner (has already learned not to beg for food and sit by my feet under the table) and has learned that her place is next to my bed, on her blanket, and not on my bed. Check out the first pictures:
















Is she cute, or what? She didn't like the corner by my bookshelf, so I moved her.
Now, I get to figure out several things...gotta get her to a vet, spaded, get her doggie bowls, a collar/leash and a kennel/doggie bed. More on the new baby later!

As Promised...

A picture of my babies...

This is a picture of my girls, the poinsettia is my one month old Juliet and the Peruvian gal in the Texas planter is my one year old Fiona.

I've had other plants before, the first ones being twin bamboos I had named Leah and Adah after two characters in one of my all time favorite books titled "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver. I later on got a third bamboo and named her Rachel after a third character in the same book.

I left my Poisonwood girls with my mother the first summer I worked in Arizona as a senior counselor...they resented that and died.

I had also left her an English Ivy I had named Ruth May after the fourth sister in the above mentioned book...she also died that summer.

I didn't buy another plant until I was in Waco...when there, I felt slightly lonely but didn't want to buy fish to replace the two (Phoenix and Mr. Peacock) I lost in the frost up in Oklahoma during my internship so instead I bought an Ivy and named her Angel...when I packed up to move down to El Paso, I had to give her away...

But last year, I bought Fiona...the first time I saw her dark green leaves and hot pink veins, I knew she was going home with me. So far, she's outgrown three pots...this is her fourth one...and yes, she's a Texas gal although she originates from Peru.

Juliet was a gift from the hospital volunteers to the post partum unit...I noticed she was getting wilted from lack of care and asked if I could take her home...they said yes so I did. And now she's got more space to spread her roots. She's the romantic of the two...doesn't she look like a romantic Juliet?

Well, enough of that...although I am thinking of getting another baby for my 27th birthday in March...my mom isn't happy because I've told her that those two are the granddaughters she keeps asking me for...

For now, at least.

Exhausted

I worked five nights straight...I can only hope they don't need me on Monday night and I can have three nights off...

Well, in case you are wondering about my last post, I've scheduled my second LSAT...the one that will actually be sent to law schools I apply to...

Uh, you are wondering. Didn't I already take the LSAT this past December?

Yes to that. The thing is I canceled my score because I would rather do that than end up taking the average...I was prepared but not as prepared as I could have been after one year of studying...so another year of studying and the LSAT once more means higher chance of hitting a higher percentage.

Other than that, not much going on. I do need to replant Juliet, my new baby. She's in dire need of a new pot to stretch out her cramped roots. Pictures of my babies to go up soon...I have two of them, Fiona and Juliet.

I hope to soon find myself a third one...with flower this time maybe...we shall see.

Adios!

It's Scheduled.

December 3rd, 2011.

Remember that date.

Four Days and Counting

I've been working since Monday night and it looks like I'll continue working into tomorrow night. That means overtime pay!!!

The year is going well...I've been "meeting" some "people" on line...just something to do. No worries, I am not gullible or naive enough to end up murdered and dumped on a ditch somewhere by some psychotic sociopath that I met online. I am so much more smarter than that...may be why I am single...being I am not dumb enough to fall for some of those lines.

Enough of that, don't worry about me. I've actually started some interesting conversations with some different people, one of them from Athens, Greece.

I look forward to this Sunday, once again, because I get to cuddle my Livi. I've finished my antibiotics. Please, Krysia, please?

I didn't get to go give her a one month birthday hug but I will be there at the baptism. My parents might come with me.

What else have I done?

Cleaned my room...sorta.

Updated a chapter on a story.

Started thinking of the next chapter of above mentioned story...

That's about it!

Difficult Puzzle? For me...

Yes.

For my two year old buddy Jaden?

Not so much.

Impressive and embarrassing...for me that is!

I spent several hours over at Stephen and Krysia's and got to play with Jaden and watch Alivia sleep.

I don't know if I can love two kids more than I love those two.

Other updates...

I'll be making an appointment to see a doctor tomorrow...if my mother gets on my case to do so that is.

Not the Best Start to a New Year

Heading to the ER in the evening of the 1st of the year was not a good start to the year....

I am still trying to get rid of the sinus infection and am still dragging my feet into making an appointment with the doctor the ER assigned me, being that I didn't have my own.

I have gotten what was needed to do a tune up on my car and get my motor vehicle sticker.

And I was able to pay for this month's internet, which included the DSL modem.

Work is going well although I got a coaching session, so to speak, with my supervisor. I am coming up on my 120 days...so far this week, I've worked all four days, ten hours each.

I like my new schedule.

I have been missing my Jaden and my Little Bitty...like crazy. But I get to see them this Sunday.

Alright, I should go to sleep.

Adios.

I will turn this year around and continue in striving to making it my year.

A New Year...

I currently weigh 264 lbs, wear size twenty jeans and size large in tshirts.

I am single, currently living with my parents and work as a night shift secretary in one of the hospitals here in El Paso.

I am a little over thirty five thousand dollars in debt, have ten book ideas and no stories written.

Yes, I am watching Bridget Jone's Diary as I sneeze my way into the new year. Unfortunately for me, I greeted the new year with a cold.

But not with apathy. This year is my year...y'all just wait and see...I will keep you posted on it all.
