it’s been another busy week
furiously spinning from one project to another
trying to tick things off the to do list
and succeeding
but then another two pop onto the list
conversations were had this week regarding the position change
turns out i will more than likely be promoted to the same job title of the position i would be applying for
and that is just friggen sweet
get promoted instead of applying/interviewing/testing?
hell yes, sign me up
and the pay is promised to be very close, if not exactly what i would be making in the other position
and i get to keep the boss that i like
so
i’m all aces today
the heat here is tremendous right now
and wearing me down a bit
which is unusual for me
walking in the evening is pure torture
even after the sun has gone completely down
my hands turn to 12 pound bowling balls at the end of my wrists
as i sweat my way down the main drag of town
but do i let it stop me?
hell no
twice a day
still out there sweating
not that the scale agrees
so i’m a glutton and i strap 2.5 pounds of weight to the bottom of each leg and saunter and sway down the street like i’m floating
aching for the scale to show something
anything
lost
at this point… i’m losing that battle
but i refuse to give up
college courses begin in two weeks
three courses this semester
and then we shall see where things stand
eventually, the hope is to transfer to a university
hope hope hope
haven’t heard from the man who went overseas
not sure when he was to return
i’ll give it another week i supposed
before i give up the ghost that is/was him
and damn, keep your fingers crossed for me
k?
because i’d like to eat this man up with a spoon
not a fork, mind you, because i don’t want any of the pieces sliding through and getting missed
i want to lick that bowl clean
just sayin’
soooo…
there is much laundry to get done
and floors to be swept and mopped
and spiderwebs to wipe away
(this house is the most spidery house i’ve ever lived in)
and much more to do to do to do
sooo
if i wasn’t so gd busy
i’d be bored
but damn i’m so busy
i’m exhausted
we’re painting
and cleaning
and and and
tonight is another concert
today has been busy cleaning my back patio
we’re in the time of year that if i don’t water my outdoor plants every single day – they die
there were major casulties on the back porch
oh well
i bought a new phone friday
to say that i’m in love with it would be a HUGE understatement
iphone can kiss my azz this phone is tdf
and
i can get picture messages
not that i have anyone who sends me picture messages
but i’m hoping someday i will
friday afternoon my boss called me into his office
we had a conversation about my intentions with the job opening in my department
i told him that i am more than likely going to apply for it
it’s a step up in job duties
and it will be an increase in pay
he told me he’s gonna fight for me
less than one hour later he called me back into his office
and told me that he will give me a raise and a promotion and that when the budget cycle comes around again, he’ll promote me to the position i would be applying for now
they’ll create a new position in our department with that title for me
needless to say, i’m very flattered
and torn a bit
but if his intentions are true
and the pay rates are the same
i’ll more than likely stay where i am working for my boss
and i’m more than okay with that
so… there you have it
tonight will be gloriously spent in the mountains under the stars listening to great music, drinking sweet wine
my idea of heaven
if only there were a handsome man to sit there beside me
it would be beyond heaven
but sitting there with my oldest daughter will be just as close to beyond heaven as it gets
~smile~
life is so busy
and crazy
last night’s attempted plan to take a pic for this week’s hnt was a massive fail
so… i’m hoping for tonight
had to stop by a coworkers home last night
she and her husband are attempting to adopt a child or two
part of the process is getting their dogs to become more well behaved
so i volunteered to be the stranger at the door
i must say
after witnessing her dogs
my dogs are incredibly well behaved
her dogs reminded me of circus dogs
only not so well trained
they were up and over and running and jumping and barking barking barking
eck
craziness to be certain
they need much more practice i think before they will receive approval
and then home to walk
and then home again to have a long conversation with my daughters once again about sex
again leaving me to wonder how many young girls feel this comfortable talking to their mom about what we discussed last night
i’m pleased that they are comfortable
and that our last conversation led my oldest into purchasing her first toy
to which she exclaimed, “why have i not owned one of these before?”
i’ve deleted one of my online dating site profiles
too much work
too many losers
just yuck
so, i’m down to one
one site
one vague possibility on that site
at this point in time
and really… i’m okay with it for now
i’m sure in a few weeks i’ll be fired up and ready to look again
but it felt really good last night to delete that profile
and to rid myself of that weight around my neck that i was feeling
this weekend will be busy painting
and concert going
i’m hoping for sleep however
since i’ve not been doing much of that lately
my mind wrapped around the work issues at this point in time
keeping me up
waking me up
yuck
so…
not outdoors
but some internal stuff for ya to view until the hnt comes along
