so you thought I was never coming back, eh?
It’s been busy around here. Learning a new job. School is starting in a few days. And well, with the new boyfriend and all, I haven’t really had much time to write. Which I guess is a good thing because I haven’t really had much to say anyway.
DJ Diva tagged me a while back (so sorry) and well, I started writing a post in response to that, but just never finished. But today, when I checked my MySpace, I saw a bulletin that she had posted — and I decided to use that instead.

so many things…
So many things have been going on lately, that I had to update my about me page. *gasp* but I’m happy, life is definitely great.
I hadn’t been blogging much because I was taking time off from d*mn near everything. I hated my job and was starting to focus on a career search. I was unhappy in my long-term long distance relationship, so I had to let that go. And then of course, there were a few friends that weren’t exactly supportive of the changes I was making in my life, so I had to let them go to.
The past few months have been challenging but successful. I found a new job within the same company and I start that position on Monday, August 6th. It included a pay raise which was exactly what I needed even though I didn’t really request it. Makes the budget much more manageable.
I’ve been doing well with training and still continuing to lose weight and LOVING the changes that my body is going through. Still wishing that of the almost 20 lbs lost, that I’d lose a little bit of my boobs. Just a little. A cup size would be nice — but that has yet to happen. Unexpectedly, my weight loss has caused a lot of tension between a couple of friends I had. Instead of being supportive, they’re constantly questioning my motive behind it. I was quite comfortable at the size I was. Trust me, I’m not huge. I just wanted to tone up a bit and needed a goal. A fitness competition was perfect for me. And the lifestyle changes I’ve made have already been reward enough.
And lastly, out of the blue, I met a wonderful guy. In fact, I’ve known him for quite some time and really just didn’t say much to him except “hi” and “bye.” I thought ht was attractive, but was too bogged down in my existing relationship crap to even really look at him clearly. It was just on a random night when I asked him to go out as friends that I realized there was something more there. We’ve been inseperable ever since.
Life is good…very good.
