So, we went out to the Dr. today to get my new letter, all went well. We killed some time out in the lake by going for lunch and doing a little shopping at the Bargain Store (got myself a hair straightener! Woohoo! No more borrowing Stevie's lol!!). THEN on the bus on the way home we past Brian's place and he got on to go to a Dr. apt he had in town. Well after he sits down and says hi to Austin, he says to me he has some good news. Now I am thinking it is going to be something stupid that I won't even care about, lol, that's usually how it goes. BUT, he said to me "Socks should be coming home tomorrow!" I almost started bawling my eyes out right there in the middle of that bus, which was packed with people! It just came out of nowhere, I was getting ready to get my paperwork and photos together and go down to the police station and see if they could do anything for me. But, apparntly, the parents of the girl who has him, don't want to keep him anymore. They got him over Christmas while she was out of school and she was taking care of him, well now school is back in and they are the ones taking care of him and don't want to be. SO, they told Albert to come and get him tomorrow. Albert told Brian not to tell me just in case, but he couldn't resist, he knows how upset I have been about this lately. Now maybe I can start sleeping again! Maybe not tonight, but once he is actually there with Brian again, for sure! And if he does get him back there Austin and I will be going out there next week to spend a night and visit with him...I am soooo excited! BUT, I haven't said anything to Austin yet, not until he is there for sure, I don't want to explain to him why I "lied" ya know!? So, that has me feeling better today, I have felt really out of sorts lately with this weighing on my mind and heart.
We are having a campout night tonight, me and Austin. I got him a couple movies today, and some popcorn and other snacks, the tent is still set up in the living room. We are going to hang out in the tent and watch movies and snack, and hopefully he will fall asleep before me, lol! Somehow I doubt it though, I am exhausted! We were up pretty early to get to that Dr. apt this morning.

My New Job AND...
Well, I got a new job this week! Not a real life, paying job, lol, still working on that! BUT, a super fun job none the less!
I am bloggin' for Frankie over at Making Memories For You and I am lovin' it! I hate blogging here on my own, I never have anything worth taking the time to type out, lol! But there is always something new and exciting going on at MMFY! Go check it out: Share Your Memories
AND...Also at MMFY I have just been chosen, along with three other super talented ladies, to be a Guest Digi DT for the month of February! So exciting!! I can't wait to get my kit this weekend and start to play!!
So, as for life in general around here, things are going ok. Brian's mom, aunt, and grandma were here for the dayon Tuesday. I am always so exhausted after they visit, although this time was not as bad as usual...we didn't do near as much shopping, and the fed me right away! LOL!!! Last time they told us we'd go for breakfast, showed up at lunchtime and wanted to shop first...well, I didn't eat cause we were supposed to go for breakfast. I started to get the shakes while we were shopping and Brian finally had to tell them we had to eat NOW! But anyways, this time, it went well...they told us they'd be here for LUNCH and they were! LOL!! They got to my place, gave us all our leftover Christmas presents, including a tent for Austin which is taking over my living room at the moment! Then his mom, Austin, and I went down on the bus while Brian went in the car with his aunt and grandma. We met down at the Doghouse for some lunch, thenhis mo took me and Austin grocery shopping while the rest went to the mall. We met them at the mall and hit the dollar store. Then we came home, had some coffee and they headed out to the ferry to go home. His mom is planning to come out on her own next month and meet us in Victoria, stay in a hotel, hng out down there. That should be fun, she is not as much of a shopper as the other two, lol! Good with me, I HATE shopping, usually because I have no money, lol!
Austin and I had a campout in the living room last night...sort of! I set up the tent, he laid in there and had his bottle, then decided he wanted to go to his bed, lol! But, when I checked on him before I went to bed he woke up and we both ended up sleeping in the tent. It was fun, though my back hurts a little. Tomorrow is pay day so I am going to rent him movie, buy some popcorn and marshmallows and let him stay up late with me. Should be lots of fun!
My weight loss plan WAS going ok for a while, I actually lost a whole TWO POUNDS! But, I had no food left in the house that was good for me to eat, so I had to cheat, lol! Once I am able to get proper groceries tomorrow I should be able to get back on track and start shedding those pounds. I am a little more encouraged now that I actually saw the 2 pound loss....took two weeks, but hey, better than nothing right?!
Have to go to the Dr. tomorrow. I went last week and he says my knee pain is from my flat feet. DUH! Why didn't I think of that...I always forget about that little detail! So, I need some custom orthotics to fix my feet before I can go to work. He wrote me a note to take into the Income Assistance office, and finally, after almost a week, I get someone to tell me that he needs to write a note with more information...exactl what the diagnosis is and exactly what I need. THEN they will decide whether they will approve them or not. THEN I have to get quotes from Orthotic people (LMAO! I don't know what they are called!) tht they have approved. THEN it goes from there. So, I have to make sure he actually writs the words "cannot work without these" on his letter. Austin will be 3 in May and they will want me to work, so it would be pretty dumb of them not to cover them. It's not like I am trying to use and abuse the system, this is all legit and I WANT to work and get off the stupid system...not to mention off the pain killers! So, we shall see what happens.
That's about all from me at the moment. No news on the dog front, I have a small plan that I need to set in motion tomorrow, I am hoping there is SOMETHING that the police can do, even if they can just make him tell me where he is, that's all I really want anyways. I'd rather talk to the people myself than have HIM go and tell them some awful lies about us! Again, we shall see what happens!

Happy New Year!!
Well, I hope everyone had a great holiday! Mine was good, for the most part!
Brian is finally clean, and doing well. He's been hanging around a lot lately and he even took me out for dinner and a movie on Friday night, it as awesome!
We had an unusual Christmas here. We actually had Christmas mornin twice. On the morning of Christmas Eve the three of us opened gifts here at my place. That afternoon my parents came and took me and Austin out to their place and we opened gifts again on Christmas morning there. The on Boxing Day we had Christmas dinner at my aunt and uncles house. Austin got spoiled with CARS stuff (from the movie). He got a comforter and sheet set for his bed, a whole bunch of the die-cast cars, a big Mac that folds out with a little race track and things, pyjamas, underwear, some Mega Bloks sets, a play cell phone. Plus a whole whack of other non-CARS stuff...two Little People farm sets, a huge bag of Mega Bloks, a bunch of books...etc....
New Year's Eve was quiet. Brian came over, Austin went to bed early, I had a couple drinks upstairs with Shannon and came back down to wath the countdown and go to bed! Nothing exciting, lol!
A week before Christmas was my birthday and between that and Christmas my parents totally spoiled me!! They took me shopping one day and I got two new pairs of runners since my soles were worn right through. Then we went to Reitmans and I got 7 shirts, two pairs of pants, a skirt, a pair of pyjamas, and a belt. Plus, over the holidays I got myself, from Reitmans, a second belt, a cute hat and scarf, a pair of earrings and a necklace! They also got me a rolling cart to put my scrap stuff in to go to crops (or two their house, lol) and a Crop-A-Dile, which I am totally in love with!! AND I had a stocking to open at their house with scrapbook stuff and a few other litte goodies in it!
So, our holidays were pretty good I'd say!!!
The last week has been pretty stressful though! I had water coming down into my scraproom again this week. I was furious, the floor in the bathroom upstairs was supposed to be fixed three months ago when this happened the first time! Then there has been issues with my dog. A friend was supposed to be looking after him for us, was to call me if there was ever any problems, and was told just two months ago that I was looking for a new place where I could have a dog and would be taking him back. Through all this I am told everything is fine, he's no problem, blah blah blah. Well, I found out just before Christmas that he GAVE HIM AWAY! To some people up the street from him. Brian moved to his prpety a couple weeks ago and told him this past week that he wants him to come back there, because he is there to take care of him now, plus I have Christmas gifts for him here (just some bones from the butcher shop which I get him every year). He said I could give him the gifts and he will pass them on to the family to give to him. Ummmm....I DON'T THINK SO!! He is MY dog and he had no right to be giving him away! He is refusing to get him back for us. Well, I'm not going to stand for that, I don't know what I will have to do, but I will do whatever it takes to get him back! I haven't slept for days now, I can't stop thinking about it and being angry about it. He says well this family has an 11 year-old and she is very happy with him, well that's great. I don't mean to sound like a b*tch, maybe I should care, but I DON'T! I have been promising my 2 year-old for two months that he is getting his dog back, how am I supposed to explain to him? He's two, he won't understand! It is HIS/OUR dog, not this girls, and no one had any right but me to give him to her. If she can't understand that at 11 then I'm sorry, that's not my problem! Anyways, obviously I am just furious about this, and I don't know what to do, but I need to stop thinking about it right now or I will be crying!
I made a couple of resolutions this year. First, I have to get rid of some weight! I don't know how much, but I have a few pairs of pants here my mom go me a couple years ago that are super cute and I have never been able to wear them...fitting into them is my goal right now! Then we will see what happens from there. I have been doin pretty good with it so far, tryng out the Atkins diet again, it is the only thing that has ever worked for me in the past. And been excersing, besides all the walking I do already, I got some small weights to tone my arms a bit and I've been doing a few sets of crunches every night. My other resolutions are to keep up with my blog more often, not procrastinate so much, and stop letting people walk all over me!! We'll see how that goes, lol!!
