Night got better! When the hubby and I went to get the pizza, pizza hut messed up and made two of our pizzas and we only paid for one, so we got a free pizza and they accidentaly doubled our cinnamon stick order so we got double the cinnamon sticks for free! Heeeeelllloooo fatty night (our favorite night of the week! <3)

Work was good today, my best four-legged friend is back to being herself again after a trip to the vet yesterday and my significant other pleasantly surprised me today by taking care of something that was going to take up a lot of my time.

Again, starting over. Today was very nice and quiet in the office because the Training Coordinator (TC) was working from home. My Boss has been up at the Social Enterprise trying to sort out the Retail MYOB with IT, and the other people in the office are either on leave or out doing other stuff today. I went through two boxes of stuff I rescued from the merger with another RTO, found some good documents in there which I believe will help us get some good systems in place for ourselves. I caught up on livejournal, chatted with two old friends from FFXI days on MSN. IT'S FRIDAY!!! Can't get much better than that because it has been a long-ass week at work after the short weeks we had thanks to leave, christmas, new years etc. I plan to sleep in tomorrow :D I had a chat with my Mum last night, which was good - she's being supportive of some decisions I've made recently even though I think she thinks I'm making a huge mistake. Michael is home on Monday, it's been a long couple of weeks since we extended his stay in Perth. I bought a really cute summer short-sleeved over-jacket (hard to explain) and had yummy sushi for lunch :D Now it's 2pm and I want to crawl under the desk for a siesta, can't wait to go home and just crash for the night, although part of me wants to go back to the spa (like last night) and just soak for another hour or so. Decisions decisions :D

this is kind of a funny positive, but i'm going to bed in a few minutes and i'm going to get enough sleep tonight :)  So I guess i'm positive in advance lol

Overall, great day.  I got my second earring hole done.  I survived work.  I'm down to two days before I go back to school and start my other job.  I actually avoided having to work with the new manager.  People were really friendly in general today.  I love my new eyeshadow.  I looked really beautiful after, I took a shower and got cleaned up.  Dinner with my friend went well.

*wave* Hello all, this is my first post...Im new...and Im very excited to get this started, Ive been needing someway to turn my thinking around for a while. (everyone calls me super neggie...bleh.) Sooo, here I am.

Sooo, day one: :)

Work went by extremely fast, we got an hour off of the phones (paid), Im one of the five people in our team of 14 at work who is meeting all of my goals at work, I had some awesomely yummy mini tacos for lunch, and my hubby and I are ordering pizza for dinner.

That felt good. Yay! Nice to meet you all by the way!

I received an e-mail from a friend down in Flagstaff which was wonderful! It made me miss Arizona and was a nice reminder of how much I love it down there. I can't wait to go back this year.

I'm exhausted, but it's a good exhausted. The kind that you feel when you're doing lots of exercise and you know you've gotten a good work-out. More sledding with the kids today :o) There's a frozen pond with a beaver lodge in it that we like to go to. It's more fun in the spring time of course when the little critters are out and about, but there's a good sled hill for the kids and we love it! It's so peaceful out here.....

Morning yoga and meditation has been really helpful to me. I stopped meditating for a while but am happy to be back on track with it.

Reading a really good Charles De Lint book right now too.

1. Funerals, Harry had decided, were hard. Lots of people stood up and talked about how wonderful your mother was and reminded you of the wonderful things she did, so you just missed her more. But at least in church all he'd had to do was sit down, keep quiet and not cry.

Going home afterwards was worse, with various relatives and people he'd never seen wanting to talk to him. They all told him how brave he was and some of them patted him on the head. Harry managed not to make a face at them until they weren't looking.

He didn't feel brave at all, though. His father had told him that men didn't cry and so Harry couldn't, no matter how much he wanted to. And he wanted to very much. So he kept his mouth closed, didn't say anything more than he had to and tried not to blink, lest the tears spill out of his eyes and give him away.

Afterwards, with a quiet house, his father shut in his study and no one to clear away the mess, Harry went to bed. In the dark, on his own, with no one to see or hear or judge him, he cried. There was no one to tell him it would be all right, even if it wouldn't be and no one to soothe him to help him stop.

Eventually he fell asleep.

Day 9
It's been kinda lonely. My bestie/roommate is gone for winter break. :( I'm working so I can't leave. I get lonely.

Nothing's happened in the past couple days. wake up, clean the room, go to work, come home, make it messy, go to sleep. I guess it's good because I played guitar today? I wish my muse would come back. I wanna play more live shows, damn it!

I missed yesterday AGAIN!
Day 8

It's been really quiet here. At least I slept well. :)

 After years of struggling, I have a working, do-able, live-able, plan to become the thin, healthy, sexy goddess that I truly am!  Whoot!

I took Abby (our dog, see userpic) to the vet today for a teeth cleaning. She had to be put anesthetized for the procedure and when I brought her home, she was disoriented and a little miffed at me for putting her through the experience. But now she's on my lap all affectionate again and it seems that all is forgiven.

♥ Got to sleep in.
♥ Feeling energetic about my day off tomorrow. I WILL get things done!

let's see if this makes sense....yes i got my haircut today but OMG it's soo cool, my hair is getting so long!

Survived an 8 hour shift at work.

My sister has a satellite dish which means I get morning yoga with Padma!! Yay!!!

Another snow day with the kids. They have a new sled which makes it even more fun. Got a great work out shoveling snow :o)

Canada lost the gold medal, but I'm not too upset. We had a great streak with five years in row for winning gold. Let's not get greedy, eh? Time to pass it on to our southern neighbours.

Got my car looked at today, there was a noisy rattling under the tire that's been making me nervous, and the guy said it was just a loose metal thing on one of the bearings and can wait until I can afford to get it fixed.

I found one of the free motivation mp3s I downloaded late last year on the iPod "The Magic Story". It's cool, and I think it helped me some. I think I'll pattern my next affirmations from the lessons.

I also read something about the effectiveness of "group intentions" (plus! It's Biblical too!) so I decided that I'll agree and send positive intentions with the ones I see posted.

:)

♥ The promise of a raise! Made me react like the doggie in my icon.
♥ More time than usual spent with my sweetie. It was nice.
