Real words

I haven't posted very many "this is how I feel" blogs, so here goes. No pictures of food.

Things have been pretty damn quiet on the home front. I miss Ricky every day, as do the dogs, but we're doing just fine here.
Last week I got a new job at Starbucks. I'm really excited about it. Funny how I always gravitate towards coffee and espresso. It makes me happy though. I was miserable at a desk job. Not only did it make me feel fat and lazy sitting at a desk all day, but I was bored out of my mind. I need to be standing, walking, smiling, and doing something that I think is fun. I start on the 25th, and it can't come soon enough.

On a sadder note, I think I'm losing one of my very good male friends. Don't you hate when that happens? Your great guy friend gets a girlfriend, and that seems to be the end of it. Sad how petty little things can come between friendships. C'est la vie I suppose.

The weather here has been cold, and today it's been raining for almost 12 hours. Being a native PNW girl, I'm not one to complain about the rain.

I'm loving all three books I'm reading at the moment (see sidebar) but The Happiness Project is really speaking to me. Having dealt with anxiety and depression for the greater part of my adult life, it's nice to read about someone taking such a practical approach to bettering her quality of life.
My exercise and healthy eating regimen is still going strong. I was afraid that after a few weeks I'd get tired of it, but it stuck and I couldn't be happier. Although this afternoon I made nachos, so to keep myself from feeling terrible I'm working out twice. Ha.

I'm off now to make some peppermint tea and read some more. Oh, and wash my bed linens again because apparently, if you're a dog, it's totally okay to run with muddy paws all over someones bed. I love them.

  1. Gack...I need to go read my Happiness Project. It's nearly the end of January and I've not started on January yet.

    Congrats on the new job! You'll be superb at it, and I hope you'll be very happy at it too!
