Updates

It's been a while since my last post and it's because too much has been going on that I just haven't wanted to sit in front of a computer and release my mind, but now...it's time. So here we go!

Work: I've decided to quit. That's right, I'm outta here. And I mean it this time. No fooling around what so ever. I've come to this conclusion in the past and I've found new jobs and every time I give my notice something happens and I stay. No more. The decision came to me like a beacon of light. Last week I was "talked" to (scolded like a child more like it) on separate occasions for coming in late. Not a half an hour late, not even fifteen minuets late. Three minuets. I walked in at 8:03 and it was like the world had come to an end. How dare I, what don't I understand, blah blah blah. Seriously. The second tongue lashing come two days later when I came back from lunch at 1:05. I had an email from my boss that said "lunch is from 12 to 1". That's all it said. So I went into his office and explained that I didn't leave until after 12 so I still only took 1 hour. Didn't matter. I was disrespecting the rules. Now, I'm a damn good worker and to be treated like a little kid over petty things like this had me over the top. I went home last week, got mad, cried, and asked my future husband "what should I do?". His response..."quit". I had exercised all my options at work. I've tried to work it out with everyone that could do something to help and every solution has failed. But how could I quit? Not with an up-coming wedding. Not without a job to go to. But all Mark kept saying was "quit". The wedding is fine, our financial situation can sustain it's self for the time being and I don't need to be the ball of stress that I am in these next few months. And that's that. I'll be putting my notice in on Aug 8 and my last day WILL be Aug 29. After the honeymoon is over I'll hit the pavement and find a job. I've already had an interview with a placement agency which went really well. And I'm so excited. Excited about new possibilities, meeting new people, learning new things. Everything. It's time. This time....it's time.

Weight: I'm done with my trainer. My last session was yesterday and it ended on a high note. After one of the most grueling work-outs (I think she did it on purpose), she weighed me and took all my measurements and compared them to my first day. I'm happy to report that in the two and a half months with her I lost a total of 10.5 inches!! 4 in my waist alone, and 3 in my butt! WOO HOO!! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm very happy with myself. It feels like such a great accomplishment. And I feel great. My clothes fit better (some to big even! what a great excuse to shop), my energy is up, all around it's good. Now, I just have to keep it up on my own and not crap out on going just because I don't have someone expecting me there. There's the rub! I'll try my best though.

Wedding: Things there are rolling along. I had my official dress fitting done on Friday and now it's in for alterations. I've not got 2 out of my 3 girls in Calgary with the third one arriving very soon, and I just can't wait. The count down is on and every day is wedding stuff now. Hopefully it all comes together with minimal problems. Mark is still working on everything stationary related and I'm doing my best to remember everything else that needs to be done. Every now and then my phone at work rings and it's Mark "don't forget to call this person" or "have you heard back from so and so". It's cute. Goes to show it's on his mind as well.

Maddi: Still super cute!
