I got myself an apartment with Aaron in Cincinnati! I love it. It really feels like home :) I've been waiting for a change like this for a while. The kittens seem to love it too :)

Aaron got me kitten! :) George washington the 3rd and Noodle :) They are wonderfullllll, but not as much as he is :)

It's been a little over a month and I am still so so happy :)

Today my phone had a little phone heart attack :( Of course it repaired itself, but not until I was at tmobile and picked out a new phone hahah so now I'm just gonna have two :) I got the G1 and it's freaking awesomeeee :) YAYYY!

6 more lbs til I'm at that set goal and I have 3 weeks to get there. I think I can do it :) i was calculating it and I've lost 20% of my body weight! Insaneeeeeeee :) It's so exciting!

I'm nearly halfway to my 20 lb goal :) 9 lbs down in a month! I still have 50 days until the deadline I set for myself so I definitely don't see that being a problem :) As of yesterday 28.5 inches lost :) I was looking at pictures from last year and I'm sooooo much happier now. It's ridiculous.

My big goal is to be down 50. Today I hit my halfway mark :) How exciting! I just have to stay motivated to keep on track, but I'm so happy with the way things are turning out I really don't see that being a problem.

I saw Britney last Thursday and I thought I was honestly going to have a heart attack. I don't remember the last time I had that much fun. I love her so so so much and I plan on never missing another one of her shows hahaha I waited like 11 years to see her and it was totally worth it. hahah :)

Fall Out Boy is tomorrow and I'm pretty fired up. It's been quite a while since I've seen them. Number 21. I'm a freak. I still like it though.

Work is kinda nuts. I've started my new position as program director. It's a big change but I like it a lot. Over the last month I've been working 6 days a week and it's been kinda killer haha but I mean it's not like I really have anything to do down here anyways so why not make money that i don't have time to spend. Maybe I'll actually pay off these credit cards haha

Let's talk about how happy I am that I am being so active :) I've decided I would like to lose another 20 lbs by my birthday, that gives me a little over 10 weeks and I've already been working at it for about 10 days. I've been eating pretty healthy which is great :) and I've been working out around 2 hours every day :) I can already see a difference :) I feel sooooooo good haha I just hope I keep it up! Zumba started Monday and I am taking it with one of my favorite clients! It's so much fun and a superrrrr good workout! :) Even though I'm working out like crazy, that first class killed me haha

Summer I'm so ready for you!

It just hit me how sad I am that I'm not in the Carolinas anymore.

I am on vacation right now :) I love the Carolinas ftw. I went to the beach today and i was the only one there hahaha but it was nice :) I saw a man with the saggiest skin ever, I thought he had on a tan shirt from down the beach, no. that was straight up skin baby. I had to stop what I was doing to take it all in. hahahahah SEXY.

The day before I left I got another promotion!!!!!!!!!!! So I get to go back to Southgate which I'm pretty fired up about. I was only at Farmington for two days hahaha, AWESOME! That drive was pretty intense though. Although compared to all the driving I've been doing the last few days it will be nothinggggggggggg haha

I got a new bathing suit from overstock.com and if you get their credit card you get $30 off your first purchase, which was sweet because it only came to like $17 with shipping etc. Well I got my statement and they took an ADDITIONAL $30 off!! Um, best day ever! haha I found that out on the day that I was offered the new job :) haha

I GOT OFFERED AN AMMMMMMMAZING POSITION!!!! Moving on uppppppppp! I'm being transferred to the Farmington center. I'm taking on a column that is currently the biggest column of clients in MICHIGAN. This consultant has consistently brought in the most money for the state for the last year. I was the first choice for the position and I can't even explain to you how happy I am right now. Not only am I taking on that responsibility, but since I'm officially trained to sell the program I also get to fill in for their full time Program director, who is also the top in MI. I AM SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!! My wait has finally paid off!

This was part of my horoscope today and I found it fitting:
Even if almost everyone else fails to see your great contribution, the right people are watching and planning big things for you.

Today I went to work and got asked if I was losing more weight. I'm not actively trying, not because I don't want to, but more so because I'm a lazy bum hahahaha but I've been asked a lotttt lately, which is pretty good :) Kinda ridiculous that this happens when I stop making a concerned effort in that direction, but hey, I'll take what I can get, right? haha

I decided to do my measurements today and I am up to 19.5 inches!! YAYYYY Pretttttty awesomeeee :) It's hard to motivate myself to go to the gym when I sit back and do nothing and still see the results I want hahaha, but I just have to keep in mind that I'd see those results a lot faster if I stopped sucking at life. I want to go to the gym at least 3 times this week, we'll see if it happens...

I'M GOING TO THE CAROLINAS IN 31 DAYS AND I AM SO EXCITED I COULD EXPLODE!!!!!!! :)

I did my taxes today and it was the best news I've gotten in a long time hahahahahaha
My mouth dropped open and I told the guy to shut up. hahahahaha :)
Thank you government stimulus!

I just got off the phone with Todd. He was drunk and talking about TKE haha :) I adore him. He said one of the nicest things I've been told today, after we had talked about some certain guys. "It makes me so mad that anyone would do that to you, you deserve so much better than that and I don't know why you put up with that. You don't need someone in your life that's not going to appreciate you for what you are. You're one of the most amazing women I've ever met in my entire life. It's goes my mom and then you and Holly are a tie. I'm gonna kick that guys ass, no one messes with my big sister like that." hahahahaha What a doll. I think that my favorite part about this whole thing is that I wasn't upset about anything going on, I wasn't bitching, or talking about how my heart's been broken (please note: it definitely has not been broken haha) we were just making convo.
He cares so much. I really appreciate it. What a good little brother :) Couldn't ask for a better one, not even by blood.

I love Stacy Clark. I could honestly listen to her cd on repeat for hours and I would be totally okay with it.

The past couple days have really proved how airheaded I am lately. I'm planning to visit Mary in March, planning planning planning...SURPRISE she doesn't live where I was planning on going HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I'm an idiot. Good thing I checked into that before I made any serious plans. What an ahole. How does that even happen? hahahaha DUMB.
This morning wasn't much better. I woke up at 7...alright, alright 7:10 and as I'm finishing doing my hair I stop dead and go OH MY GOD! I DON'T WORK UNTIL 9 TODAY!!!!!!!! meaning I didn't have to be awake until 8 BH7WHFNSDKF9HIAWEF REALLY?! Where was your head?! How stupid. hahah I'm scared if I lay back down I won't wake up and I'll be late. I need to get my act together. haha

So 2009, you're here. Good. 2008 was such an up and down year. My first full year being out of school. It's not really as cool as it seems when the economy sucks more than a shop vac. But I've survived and made it through with a job that I could only imagine. Good things come to those who wait. Jenny Craig was certainly proof of that. I look back and laugh at how silly it was to pursue Quicken for so long when I knew from the start that wasn't for me. That was the whole reason I got out of the Marketing program. Sometimes events come up in life that you could have never expected which cause you to start all over. Events that you could have never dreamed were possible. Don't fight it though, it's probably for the best.

I rang in the new year with most of my closest friends. It was really weird not spending it with the Tekes though. This is the first year in like 3. WEIRD. But that's okay. I had a lot of fun and I'm so glad! :)

Everyone here is talking about their resolutions. I never really have one because I don't really enjoy setting myself up for failure, to put it bluntly haha. However, this year I just want to do more things for myself without worrying how it will make others feel. I don't meant this like as a selfishness aspect, but more so not looking for so much approval, particularly my parents. I'm already working towards this goal and am so proud of myself. I took one of the biggest steps I think I've really ever done and stood up for what I believe in and cut ties. As much as I would like to continue to be friends, I know that it's not good for anyone in the situation, and specifically my mental health. So far I have not really come to a point where I have been upset, which is really good! I've basically deleted them from my life and it feels good. As soon as we spoke about the way I feel it felt as if a million tons had been lifted from my shoulders. The consistent questions of what would happen if I spilled my guts have finally been answered. No one should ever sacrifice their happiness for someone who's not willing to make any steps towards that as well. It's not fair to either person.

Enough about that. So thus far, 2009 is off to a good start and I really am hopefully that it will continue on that path. Of course, today I have the stomach flu haha so that's not very good. But as miserable as I am I'm not going to let it dampen my hope that this year is going to be great.

I have been listening to Taylor Swift obsessively. Really random. I loveeeeeeeeeeee
Christmas was very good this year :) Some family drama on Christmas eve for some reason. Everyone was sooooooooo anal. I spent the whole evening making fun of how nuts everyone was going, so that was a good time :)
My parents spoiled me way too much this year. I was a little bummed out because i thought I knew everything that I was getting, SURPRISE! They got me the sheets I wanted and a GPS! Mainly they got me that because my dad was sick of me stealing his HAHAHA :) I totally love my new ipod too :) It's nice to have one that actually holds a charge haha

New Years is quickly approaching and I still don't have solidified plans. I hope something good comes up, I want to ring in the new year with my faves. I guess that's the most important thing. We'll see. I'm sure something will come up :)

Tomorrow I'm celebrating Christmas with the o-5 minus Amy though :( But I ammmmmm very excited to see the girls and to give them their gifts!!! :D YAYYYYY

I hate the cold.
I hate this snow explosion.
But more than anything, I hate living at home since my dad is apparently part polar bear and my house is about as cold as it is outside. Currently, I have on 4 shirts, two of which are hoodies and I'm WEARING GLOVES RIGHT NOW! WTF? That's really not okay in any way.
I can feel myself getting sick as we speak.
AWESOME.
Bring it on winter.

It freaks me out when my horoscope is so dead on. I've found that it's been that way consecutively for about a month or so, I mean I guess I hadn't really checked it before then, at least on a regular basis. Today it says that I should go out and reconnect with someone from my past. Guess who has plans for dinner with Janel? Weird. Coincidence I'm sure, but still, it's fun to think about.

There is a massive snow storm on its way. I'm not looking forward to it one bit. I can already feel the cabin fever coming on.

It is way too easy to get hold of information that you really shouldn't know/do not want to know on the internet. Why do I snoop around on facebook and shit? Because I'm too curious. I mean it's nothing that I didn't know but I guess it's something that I wanted to push to the back of my mind. Ahole.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WANT TO RIP MY HAIR OUT AND SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!! And then poke your eyes out.

I'm not feeling very Christmas-y this year. I would be 100% okay not hearing any Christmas music I think. yet for some reason, my parents are JAMMING to it. Excellentttttttttttt. Keep rocking out Bob and Sylvia.

I wish I knew why I was so un-cheerful :( Christmas is one of my favorite times and I feel like such a party pooper :( I forced myself to do my shopping, I got it nearly all done is two days, which was pretty impressive I must say. :) It's nice to feel accomplished haha

I don't know how I didn't update about this two days ago but just for the record I LOVE LOVE LOVE Brit's new cd! :) LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it!!!!!!
hahahaah
RIDICULOUS.
