I thought I would do a quick update on life these days. I have been oh-my-goodness CRAZY busy!!! Things feel like it's just GO GO GO.. and never let's me have a breath of fresh air... Ughhhh..
Anyhow, since I started my new full time job, I have loved it! My boss is amazing, my workload is a lot (but that's ok because the days go by super quick!), I love dressing up and getting ready in the morning... But most of all... I go home everyday feeling like I have achieved something, whether it be daily goals, or any kind of goal for that matter. That just makes it worth it! For those of you that don't know, I work for an Orthopaedic Surgeon who deal with mostly athletic injuries. The office has a great vibe to it, and even though the staff is beyond incredible, the patients make it all worth it! Love them.
In other words, things at home have been crazy too. I just got word that my old roomate can't take care of our dog that we got 8 years ago when we lived together. We had decided that I would take the 2 cats (Avery lives with me now, and Colby lives with my mom), and my roomate would take Ally, the dog. Well.. my roomate had a baby, and now life is just too hectic. I know things can be crazy, but there are ways to help. After speaking with BF, we cannot take Ally, simply because it's too much for BF to handle. I would take her in a second, but it's not only my house. It totally sucks, but without him agreeing to it, I can't disrespect him like that. Ally is a Shiloh German Sheppard. She is the most amazing dog. Awesome temperament, gorgeous, and great with other animals and children. I offered to help out my roomate by looking after her whenever they needed a break, but no response, just that they were really disappointed. I knew all along that I should've taken Ally back then. I would've given her a great home. If BF would've let me have Ally, her and puppy would've been great friends! I'm heartbroken, but there's not much I can do. BF is hardcore on not letting me take her. I'm scared Ally will go to a terrible home. I'm so saddened by this! :(

On a brighter note, I am really trying to stick to my budget goals. I have been putting half my paycheck into debt. When I was 18 years old, I totally abused credit cards. I racked up almost $25,000 in debt. I am currently paying it back, but it's taking me a gazillion years! Usually I would put debt on the back burner, because I didn't want to be without the latest fashion, but I have grown up, and now with a steady pay, I need to live on a very strict budget... that is until the debt is paid down. Ugggghhh.. so annoying! If anyone out there reading doesn't have a credit card... DO NOT get one!!! ruined my life! At least now that I'm older, I can manage my money a bit better.. Thank goodness!
In other news, I have totally fallen off the bandwagon on my healthy eating and working out... Frig!!! When I get home at night I'm exhausted! I have noticed that my skirts and pants are getting tight on me, and BF said that I usually gain weight in my face first.. obviously he noticed my face expanding... lol... Anyhow, I've kicked my butt in gear, and I'm headed down healthy valley again. I think I would love to get back into Hot Yoga again, and also maybe try to start running. I've started doing weights at the gym with BF, and also did a grocery shop for all veggies and protein.... no crap!!!! I am staring a non diet...if I say diet... I'm screwed!!! lol...
Does anyone have any good tips that can help me, or any fab recipes that are delish and are also good for me???
With regards to my hair, it's totally started to fade from being really dark. I will post a pic soon. I might actually get the dark refreshed at some point before the New Year, just becuase it's fading nicely, but I can see that if it fades more, it will start to be a reddish, brownish color... not really suited for me!
Anyhow, I'm off to bed. I just watched The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (love this show), and had a glass of red wine (yum)... BF is gone to hockey and now I can cuddle in bed with puppy and just fall asleep. I also self tanned tonight. I really like to try differently self tanners, so this one I've got on, I will talk about in another post coming up. I also have to tell you all about my purchases from last weekend too!!!
I haven't been following Twilight, but oh-my-goodness, so many people are super stoked that it came out tonight. I think this weekend while BF is away, I might have to watch all the movies!!! lol..
This is totally a nothing post, but whatever... I think I just wanted to vent a little... LOL.. Thanks for reading everyone!
Love always,
xoxo
