An update

After my last post, things have calmed down (is it bad that I don't want to type that for fear I just jinked myself?) ....

I interviewed for a new job, outside the University where I currently work - submitted resumes to the school district where Justin lives and had a follow up interview/presentation yesterday. I need to get Thank You cards out in today's mail and tidy up a few personal housekeeping issues before my long day of meetings.

I'm also fighting a really, really nasty cold. Poor Justin, I was feeling really bad last night and running a slight fever ( I know this because any sign of a fever and it makes me super emotional and very weepy), I was cooking dinner and literally lost it in the kitchen. I immediately took some Pain Reliever and Sudafed and tried to stop being such a whiner.

Justin's family is taking us to a German Food Buffet/Special Event - I am really excited and hope that the cold meds allow me to at least taste the food.

I am very hopeful that the past few days of interviews will lead to new opportunities, could you please say a prayer that something works out from all of this?  Thank you!

I used to be Fat

Today has been a very lazy enjoyable day.  I made some yummy veggie soup, 90 calories a serving, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Super easy, super cheap and super yummy :) Making soup with so little calories doesn't make me feel bad for the grilled cheese I eat to go along with it :) I made enough to take Justin's grandparents over some and also gave them some Oreo Balls as well. I think they were happy, plus it is less Oreo Balls around here for me to eat :)

I have watched BRAVO and MTV all day today. I love Teen Mom and Real Housewives totally trashy tv I know, but it is my guilty pleasure.  Justin and I have been watching I Used to be Fat - it really hits home, these girls are losing 90lbs+ in 90 days. Unbelievable.  I really wish I could afford a personal trainer but it isn't in the budget. I am purchasing a new treadmill to leave at Justin's house.  When I am here (at least half a week) there is no where to run or exercise close by, so we are going to set me up a treadmill in the basement. I just have to set up an old TV and DVD player down there so I won't go stir crazy.  I guess I can always fall back on the Ipod but sometimes it's nice to watch something different. I am hoping the weather breaks soon and I get back outdoors.  I like having that 30-40 mins of being outside and just pushing myself.  Totally peaceful, totally relaxing and healthy. There really isn't anything quite like that feeling...

I am hoping my early June I can be at a mini-major goal.  Before too much longer I am going to re-do my goals and my objectives for 2011, I am sure everyone is waiting with anticipation.

I have a lot of stuff going on this week  - I have an interview Wed that will take all afternoon, a lot of projects going on this week at work, 2 basketball games and trying to get my house in order.  Next Monday (17th maybe?) I have off work, but as always I have a lot of stuff to do :(

I hope everyone has a great weekend ....

Ugh

Things have been a tad overwhelming for me the past few weeks, I am really looking forward to laying on the couch, doing a little bit of cleaning and RELAXING all weekend. I know I already did a post today and it was a fragment post but I need to do another one. A possible opportunity has been presented to me. One that would bring HUGE change in my life.  More money (right around 8,000$ more a year) but NO benefits. No insurance, no retirement and no perks. 

However, the current job and possibly the new job are neither jobs I want forever.  I want to finish my Master's Degree and become a full-time teacher. So either way I will lose this retirement eventually. And 2 years without insurance. That is scary.  But with a BFF as a doctor and 4$ prescriptions and all my annuals done - it wouldn't be that scary, right?

What do y'all think? What would you do? I go Wednesday for a formal interview - so nothing is even for sure yet but we all know I am Type-A and I have to think about everything and analyze EVERYTHING.
