2010

Here's hoping lots of good things are to come this year! I keep applying for more jobs and I've been networking a bit and hoping to drum up some leads. Although my contigent job offer did say possibly March I could start.
My husband bought the Nintendo Wii along with the Wii Fit for me. I want to try and get healthier. As much as I can before I get the whole weight loss surgery taken care of.
I've started to not only make some new friends through poker but also started to renew some old ones. You can never have enough friends! No matter how far away they are! Anyone is just a call, text, e-mail or Facebook message away!
I've been married six months now and I'm incredibly happy. My hubby is my best friend. I enjoy every minute I get to spend with him. I look forward to completing the first year of marriage.
I have been feeling a bit better lately but the PN does flare up occasionally. Hope it dies down soon.
This year is looking promising!

Christmas

Somehow I made it thru Christmas in one piece. Not without a few tears of course. Thank God my husband understands. He completely surprised me by taking me out on Christmas Eve. We went to get presents for our animals and he took me to one of my favorite restaurants, Maggiano's for dinner. He even took me shopping and bought me two sweaters and a pair of pants. I think he really tried to make it special because it was our first Christmas as husband and wife. As he was holding my hand walking into the mall he turned to me and said he was so happy to be married to me and what a great ride it's been so far. I know neither of us are perfect but it meant a lot to me. He's a pretty manly guy and doesn't get too mushy usually. Today he made sure to get us two "Our First Christmas 2009" ornaments. We couldn't find any on Christmas Eve but he found them today. He apologized that he bought them on sale! Silly goose! That stuff doesn't matter to me. It's the little things. I don't need the fancy jewelry or luxurious vacations. I love that if he sees a book or movie he thinks I'll like, he'll get it for me. I'm just happy he thinks of me. I'm not a materialistic person, never have been. He knows this. Just the fact that he puts thought into things matters. He knew I needed to be busy on Christmas Eve and got me out of the house and my mind off things. I'm not sure how far in advance he planned it or if me getting only two hours of sleep and crying my eyes out that morning started the wheels turning. Doesn't matter. Matters that I was with him and we had a great day. Christmas Day was okay too. I woke up with a cold and he let me sleep in instead of cooking breakfast like I had planned. My friend was kind enough to open her family celebration to us, seeing as no family members wanted us around. Their loss. Although I did send both sets of grandparents a Christmas card and wrote inside that no matter what I loved them regardless. I think it should've gotten there on Christmas Eve. But I was with my love so we could've been anywhere and had fun. Next year I hope to be a little strongr and less weepy but who knows. Thank you baby for being my hero.

(Had a Bad Day-Part 3)My self-esteem is really taking a hit by continually getting turned down for jobs. I gotta keep pressing on. I want this surgery bad. I want a job to feel normal again. We need the money and health insurance. Plus it will get me out of the house so I don't sit here stewing all day. So let's hope Wednesday's interview goes better. I know I'll be praying it does.

(Had a Bad Day-Part 2)So hubby reminds me of the old hair dryer we kept to use on the dogs after baths. Well, he could've blown on my hair and it would've dried faster. Get to the interview with semi damp hair and ROCKED the assessment. Did the interview and the way it went seemed positive but I had a REALLY weird feeling about it. Got an email about 2 hours after I left saying they decided to go with another candidate. I cried my eyes out.

(Had a Bad Day- Part 1)Laugh every time I hear that song but today it applied. Wasn't feeling good all day yesterday and didn't really sleep last night. My husband tried to get me to reschedule my interview this a.m. because he knew I felt bad. I refused even though he told me he thought they were gonna jerk me around like they did to him. I wanted to push myself and go so I got ready to go. Drying my hair and the motor in the dryer blows.

(Some Good News)I have two job interviews next week! Very happy about that. Tuesday I finally played Poker in the free tournament my hubby and best friend do every week. They both were so helpful and patient with me. I ended up finishing in the Top 20. I was proud of myself. No word on the insurance or surgery yet, so I wait. Earlier my hubby told me how much he loved me and loved me no what. I started to cry because he really meant it.

(Just keeps getting better & better)Just got a call from the surgeon's office, they have a cancellation tomorrow morning. I can't go until I get the insurance straightened out. I continue to wait.
