I Got What I Wanted...In Double!

The last couple weeks have been absolute madness for me! My week right now consists of getting up in the morning at 5:15 a.m. to get ready for work, leave the house at 6:40 a.m. so that I can get on with my hour and a half trip to the corporate office to start work at 8:30, which goes till 5:30 p.m. in which I pack up my gear and head home for another hour to hour and a half trip back home (which usually has me back home for between 7-7:30 p.m.). All in all, it makes for a REALLY long day! Talk about getting what you asked for right!?

I do like my new job though! The company treats me well, my manager is awesome, and I feel once I really get comfortable in my own skin with doing the work, I will really come to enjoy the job a lot! :) It's a lot of work to start with, but once I get caught up and settled, it's going to be fun!

By the time I hit the weekends though, I'm soo thoroughly exhausted that I just don't feel like doing anything! I know that will change when I'm not driving to corporate for training every day (which will make my days drastically shorter!) but for now, my life has taken a real social hit! (Well, the limited social life I have anyways!

More up-beat news for me is that my wonderful hubby had heard that a few of the day-shift only people have put in for retirement and my husband put in a word with the boss to see if he couldn't fill one of those positions! It's great because that means he will get to come home at night! It sucks because it means a pay drop since he's not living out on the road all week. But honestly, I would rather have the pay drop and actually get to spend more than a day and a half with my husband than to keep on the path we are on now where he's gone 5 days a week straight. So I'm praying that goes through! With me working, we will be just fine anyways.

Last news, I went last night to watch my friends daughters dance in what I thought was going to be just a cute little dance recital...Little did I know that this was going to be an fully loaded show with lights and fire and sparks and some of the most amazing dancing I've ever seen! I was extremely impressed with the production and the level of talent at this show! There were mixes of tap, river dancing, beautiful ballet, hip hop, 50's and interpretive dance. The ages ranges were from 3yrs to 40's. I felt such a thrill of excitement and longing for the days when I was performing on stage dancing and singing and acting. I really miss it! It was a good feeling to have though...kind of like an awakening! Perhaps sometime soon I can re-join the world of dance or performance of some sort, but for now, I need to set my priorities to what needs to be done to get back to an even playing field.

I look forward to later days this year, I have a feeling more exciting things are to come! Keep you posted!!

Live, Laugh, Love.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Its funny that certain people always thought I would be just a pee on. Well, it's nice for once to see you sweating the bullets! You see, I hate being peed on, but I also know what goes around comes around and with a little bit of hard work and some good karma, all the sudden I don't seem so weak! I love how you think you can play the emotional cards on me such as "Leaving the love of family and close friends!"...What you don't realize is that I don't care...It's not that I don't care about the love of family and close friends mind you, because I do, it's that all my family and friends are completely supportive and excited for me about this, so trying to use them against me is pointless because I already have "their blessings". I've got the love and support from the people I CARE about! It's just that you think I'm impressionable and naive, but what it has come down to is that I say anything just to shut you up! You think your...

Annual Update!

So I am the queen at updating this blog once a year! I don't mean to neglect, but it's just been so busy for me! Life certainly keeps me on my toes these days! Big events that are worth noting for the past year: -Bought a house! It's a lovely three bedroom detached house that I can call my own, hide in to get away from the world. Decorate any way I want and fill with love! I couldn't be happier here and have really settled in well! -Got a dog! He's a year old now and named Mack. Mack is a gorgeous black lab puppy with the most loving personality and the energy of 20 kids hyped up on sugar! He is the sweetest and most exhausting little guy, but he is my baby! Here is my warning for when you visit: Beware of dog, he does not hold licker well! Haha! I love that he makes me a more active person. I walk him daily and play with him when I would probably otherwise just sit on my backside and watch TV. So he's awesome all around. -I am officially a UK CITIZEN!!! Wh...

Things I love About My New Home!

Right! So last post I told you the top 5 things I loved/missed in the U.S. today, I feel that it is a great time to tell you about all the things I love about my new home! (It will be more than 5 things...and not in any particular order as today I just don't have the energy!) Here we go! 1. The history! It literally can be seen everywhere! From the old building structures to displayed artefacts, there are signs of England's history and culture everywhere! I can't wait to see more! 2. Believe it or not, the food! I have tried so many amazing different foods from different cultures that I have become quite fond of! 3. On the few days that there is sun shining brilliantly in the sky (especially in the spring), the colours here are the most brilliant and vivid I think I have ever seen! It is absolutely fantastic and t takes your breath away! 4. Let's talk affordable amazing wine!....Enough said! 5. Let's talk affordable amazing beer...Enough said! 6. Travel ...
