That Black Hole.
June 11, 2008 1:29 p.m.
To Summarize since I last actually gave any kind of real update:
- My HTML skills are rusty, so I just went with this simple layout, I’ll start getting more creative later.
- I’ve combined all my entries from all 3 previous diaries (captivated-, My-Solitaire and After-) and I also took my blog entries from my Myspace so that all my entries are in one place. Yes, it took forever.
- As you all know Mike and I got together in May of 2004, so we just celebrated 4 years together and plan to get married on 08/08/2008 (this still may change depending on where we are financially within the next 2 months.
- We bought our first home. 3 Bedrooms, 2 baths and on 1.15 acres w/ a pool. We love being home owners! It’s so much better than renting.
- On August 21, 2006 I became employed with a medical billing company and I am still employed with them, it’s a small company with only 6 people- They’re also kind of cheap I’ve been at the same pay rate since February of 2007-kind of disappointing.
- I breed Chihuahuas and French Bulldogs, so in total I have 16 dogs, I love them all and they are VERY spoiled, some people think I’m crazy, but I love my animals, one day I can just be with them full time and quit my job. We are going to get into showing them as soon as our one Frenchie is 6 months old.
- I’m still in School, and I won’t graduate until 2011! I took almost a year off because financially I can’t afford it.
- I’ve been on Weight Watchers since January of this year and have lost 35lbs and have hit a plateau and can’t seem to lose anymore, I am actively working on that.
- In August of 2007 I went back to Texas to see people I hadn’t seen in nearly 7 years! I’ve reconnected with all my friends there and look forward to going back!
That is pretty much everything that has happened in my life up until this point. It doesn’t seem like much in retrospect but it feels like a lot.
At first I felt obligated to return to Diaryland but I didn’t want my diary to reflect that strain of obligation, so I just avoided it all together until I felt I was mentally ready to start writing again. I stopped believing in myself for a while there, stopped believing in my own self worth and wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything. You could say I was in a bit of a rut.
It feels good to be back. And I hope to leave all that Rut-ness where it belongs… in the past.
