Wow, sorry I've been MIA

Yes, yes, I know.... I've not posted a blog in FOREVER. I've been so busy with my new (yes I said NEW!!! Not unemployed anymore!) job. Training, working etc... feeling like I have purpose again.. only part-time, but I think I told you that...

Woke up this morning, early, and walked like I have been. It was FREEZING!!! What is up with this damn weather... I haven't kicked the furnace on yet, saving money and using my space heaters and LAYERS of clothes! Yes, I'm dieting.. I should be in the best shape of my life after not having a job for so long... should have used my time to work out.. but there I sat on my couch playing PS3 and not having any motivation... I'm not fat, but I get winded walking/jogging a lot faster than I used to.. so, I'm working at building my stamina back up and toning :) My goal? I want to look like Kim Kardashian like she does in that damn shoot for W magazine! Lofty goals? So? I'll reach them! :) I'm told I look like her anyway.. (yay me!)

My older dog will probably need to be put to sleep soon... he's having accidents and having problems walking like an old person with arthritis would.. I have to give him a 1/2 a baby aspirin twice a day to keep him looking comfortable and not in pain. :( I'm afraid for my other doggy.. he's never ever been 'alone'... I know he'll have me... but I don't have four legs, thankfully for everyone.. Keep them both in your thoughts...

I'm still applying for other jobs to fill my empty time and try to save money. I know I wont be able to stay in my home for long.. and I've looked at the rental prices around this area... UGH. I'm not quite sure how I'll do this alone. :( So, please keep me in your thoughts as well!!!

I'm in contact with my photographer to get some new shots to post and sell... I'm getting out of my funk and doing what I love!! His idea: Junk yard - he's gotten an ok from the owner and I just need to get a day I'm free... does anyone else have ideas?

Well, my new office has a huge window for me to look out... when the trees were full and lush I couldn't see the freeway... now I can.. there are very few leaves left on the branches now... especially after that 'end of the world' storm the other day!! Damn my ADHD!! I keep staring at the flippin freeway!! Man, it looks cold out there! I have a 'neighborhood' squirrel that plays out there too and diverts my attention all the time.. I think he is hyperactive..lol Every once in a while another squirrel will join him and he runs circles around him like he's high..lol

I hope everyone is having a wonderful October!! I will try to post more often :) Can you believe Thanksgiving is NEXT MONTH!!??

  2. sorry to hear about your dog Alexa. I know how much they mean to you. AB is almost 7 and I can't imagine what life will be like without her.

  4. MacAttack beat me to it, but in my opinion, you are leaps and bounds above Kim. She is a beautiful woman but you have something extra special about you. Hope all is going better on the job/financial front. And I have a dog myself (German Shepherd/Lab mix 5 yrs old) so I will be keeping you and your babies in my thoughts and prayers. As I told you before, I'm looking forward to your upcoming shoots. Take care Alexa!!

  5. Aww thank you mhquinn1....I'm glad you guys think that, because I look in the mirror and see far from it! lol

    I'm procrastinating making the appointment to put him to sleep... Selfish? probably. :( He's just always been there for me to cry on.. he may not have understood, but he knew 'mommy' was sad and he always nudged me with his nose as to let me know he was there... It just kills me to think of life without him.
