Life would be boring without change

Sometimes things have to change, even if you don't really want them to. I've been feeling better, becoming more sociable, more productive. It's great, and I'm very happy about it. But as I was getting ready to volunteer again, I found it necessary to cut ties with my favorite organization. It's probably a good thing, because my focus won't be spread so thin. And it will give me an opportunity to find other organizations here in the area that need my help. Like Sandwich-Making Saturdays. There's a group that gets together on Saturday mornings to pack hundreds of sandwiches and cookies for the homeless. I'm good at making sandwiches :)

I need to focus on myself anyway. My paychecks are starting to get bigger because I've been able to work more hours, full-time instead of part-time. So I can start getting back into the mindset that I can afford what I want instead of just what is absolutely necessary. I will be going back to yoga classes, joining the Soul Cysters Weight Loss Challenge again, eating healthier, walking more, and a billion other things to get back on track and headed towards a new me. I need it. Hubs needs it. My family needs it. So I'm doing it!

And a new long-term goal is to be able to move around the country whenever we want. It means that at some point I won't have my current job, but I'm not leaving anytime soon. I'll start looking for contract jobs when I have some savings built up. Until then, I'll settle for weekend road trips with Hubs and yoga retreats with my bestie, Kat :)

And I have a new June goals list coming tomorrow!

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

The Doctor... Doctor Who? A.K.A. Damn you, Netflix :)

Oh, the hardships of having no cable TV... We decided that we were paying way too much money for cable, when there were only a handful of channels we watched. Of course we couldn't get the basic cable, because it was missing half of the channels we wanted. So I cut it off completely. And I'm so glad I did. We upgraded our internet service, bought a year of Xbox Gold membership, and subscribed to Hulu Plus and Netflix. Although we have decided to cancel our Hulu subscription, we love Netflix. Hulu is great for current shows, but Netflix is awesome because we can watch an entire series. When it first came out, I LOVED Alias. It was a spy show starring Jennifer Garner. My mom and I used to watch it every week. But Hubs had never heard of it! Seriously, he lived under a mountain. At least when it came to TV. So we watched all 5 seasons of Alias. We decided that instead of watching various shows all at once, we would choose a series and watch it all before switching to a new show....

What's Your Song Thursdays!

I missed this last week, and although I've only participated for a few weeks, I felt really bad that I didn't get to. Lately I've been trying to find songs that fit into my category of I'm strong, and I'm not going to give up . There are a lot out there, but finding ones that are a little more vague is a difficult task. I'm not dealing with a breakup, so the songs about being storng after breakups don't work. I need songs about having to fight a life-long battle, fighting for what you believe in, fighting for what you want. This one fits :) The enemy: PCOS and infertility. I will be invincible. I may lose a few battles, but damnit I'm going to win the war! Then everyone will have to go into hiding, because between me, the hubby and our friends, we will have evil little children. We already lovingly refer to them as our future demon spawn lol :) Without further ado, here's Pat Benetar with Invincible Don't forget to head over to Goodnight Mo...
