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!
