So after last week at work, I definitely needed a relaxing weekend. I honestly didn't do much. Spent a couple gift cards at Bed Bath and Beyond on a few things that we needed. Of course I left the store without one of the major things that I went there for, but I will just have to go back. Cleaned the condo, and then went to dinner with John. Today I am currently still in my PJ's at 11:45 which is kind of awesome.lol.
But the time has come yet again for me to get serious about my weight loss journey. So Monday will be D Day number 1 million or so...lol....and like I say every single time, this is it damnit!! This isn't for a wedding or because I want to look good in a bathing suit, it's just for my health. I am going to be 31 in a few months, gasp! And I want to like not die soon.HA
Let's seee...this week is the beginning of September, which is awesome, because I LOVE fall! Let's just hope the work week doesn't blow goats like it did last week:)

Wow...this week sucks, huh?
So a continuing theme throughout my blog, all the way back to 2005, is that work sucks.......this week is definitely one of the suckiest. Our stats suck and that's that...lol. Maybe I really should do some research oh what I want do with my life...lol
Other than that, going back to the weekend, it was a great one. Celebrated the marriage of a good friend and also attended a baby shower for another good friend! Unless it's a surprise, I think the weddings are done for this year at least, now it seems to be baby baby baby. But don't worry folks, it will be a few years until there is a little Katherine or John wandering the streets...lol....I feel like I am still a baby myself. I think as long as we make a decision to have kids before I am 35, we will be good to go. But don't forget, that I already have an Alien Baby.......and he does keep us very busy!
So, tomorrow is Wednesday and it will suck I am sure.....not sure I will be able to give many more updates, as I am pretty sure this week may kill me...lol

1 year ago....
today I closed on my condo! I can't believe how fast a year goes by. That's 1 year of payments which equals like, $10 off my principal and $109304283043 off the interest! woo hoo
To date, I haven't done too much in the condo that I wanted to do. I really wanted to paint the rooms and set up the second bedroom as an office. I think this fall I will start the painting project. I will start small in a bathroom or something, then move to bigger rooms after that. It's the compromising with John on the colors that will be the hardest part I think. Other than that, we have offically pissed the people downstairs people by using our treadmill late at night. We stopped using it, which in turn made me gain some weight..lol.....oops.
So, it's Friday, which is awesome! Good weekend planned folks, I will have later posts about it I am sure!!

First entry of 2010. Oh, how a year goes by so fast!
So my blogger stalkers, I am back. That's right, almost 1 full year away from blogging and I am alive to tell about my adventures. So, the condo is purchased and we have been here for about 1 year. We recently got married and we are just living the dream...lol
I have spent some time reading through my older posts, starting back in the day when I was thinner (yet thought I was fat) and going through some very interesting times dating and at work. I may post some links to some of my favorite entries later this week, they definitely gave me a giggle or two.
But I hope that my old loyal readers are still around, because I definitely miss blogging and telling of my pathetic adventures in my life. I can tell you that, besides getting married and buying the condo, I haven't accomplished a ton of things that I wanted to in my past posts. I have definitely gained weight, not lost it. I still love chocolate. My treadmill is currently untouched in our second bedroom. I still hate my job and live for the weekends. But I also still have a great family and super friends that help me through it all!
So thanks for reading and as I have promised and broke this promise many times, I will be back to write more!

So Sorry!!
I know that I haven't updated my blog lately and I promise to keep you more updated in the future!! Well, we finally got Internet and cable at the condo this past week and it feels good to be back in touch with my TV! I absolutely LOVE having a washer and dryer in the condo. No more lugging my laundry anywhere! I think I did like 5 loads this weekend just because I could...lol...And can we talk about a dishwasher?Why have I not had one of these great inventions before now! Sad to say I had never used one before until I moved here but I am never going back. OH ya, and a garbage disposer...WHAT!! LOVE IT!
The ony thing is I have to get used to budgeting my money better, having a mortgage is no joke people..LOL
In other news, I love the fall. Spent some quality time apple picking yesterday. And the day before that splurged and got a pumpkin spice latte.............yummy!
Now that I am getting comfy in the condo with John, I should start wedding planning! YAY. I will def keep you updated on how that is going...if only money grew on trees! hahaha.

Sunday already?
It has been quite a long week! But I did finally close on the condo on Thursday. So an empty condo is officially all mine. Definitely the most expensive set of keys that I will ever buy! I spent the weekend in Maine and bought a few things for the condo...like...a couple of lamps, some everyday dishes and some silverware. So now I just need a million other things including furniture. I never thought I would be so excited to register for the wedding..lol.
Other than that, I am spending my Sunday just like every other Sunday, dreading work tomorrow. I am also actually starting to get excited about fall as well. The Topsfield Fair, apple cider, pumpkins and Halloween! Hard to get in the fall spirit when it's like 90 degrees in the house.
So on that note, I am going to watch 30 more minutes of the Sox game and hit the hay. I will try to get over to the condo with a camera at some point!
G'night!

Quick Life Update
The condo closing date has now changed to Thursday, so hopefully Thursday evening I will be dancing around an empty condo! And I will be poor. haha. Because of the recent spending all my money on a condo process, I have not even thought about the, you have a wedding in like 9 months thing. So hopefully after getting settled into the condo I can start to plan the wedding!!
Part of the planning the wedding has to be a serious weight loss journey. I have definitely not been serious about losing weight lately, and the stress of work and everything else has been helped by eating. So I am getting back on track and heading to the gym after work tomorrow. I am so disgusted with myself that I refuse to try on a wedding dress until I feel better about myself. So hopefully they can rush order to puppies..LOL
So those are the two major items in my life right now. Work is still sick but I need to keep an income to pay for the two items above! At least I won't have any money to spend of food. Hopefully that will help in the weight loss area.

Quick Condo Update
This condo purchasing process has seriously been going on for 6 months. But the near is getting closer and closer. The close date is set for next Friday right now, and because it is happening so quickly, I have had a ton to do in a very short amount of time. Today (luckily I work at an insurance company) I ran downstairs and finalized an HO6 Policy for the condo. I have never felt more like an adult as I did purchasing coverages for a home! YIKES!!
But anyway, I think that everything is now in place. The down payment paid (yes, I am now sooo poor), the condo policy purchased and the close date set!! I should start thinking about packing, right? Oh well, not like I have that much stuff anyway.
I am excited about decorating my own place and about finally living with John:)
I will def post photos soooooooooooooooooooooon hopefully:)

Condo Wondo
I am not sure if you can think WAY back and remember when I started condo hunting...well..the hunt has been still going on for the past 6 months or so. Basically I entered into a short sale (which is SOOOO not short) and it is finally coming to and...or at least I hope!! Which is ironic because I was seriously going to call my realtor this week and be like, dude, I can't take it anymore, get me out of this contract! But he called me instead and told me the end is hopefully in sight.
So I hope I am not jinxing it, but I will hopefully be closing in the next couple of weeks!
Now to search yard sales for cheap furniture to furnish the place..lol.

Quick Vacation Update
I am barely awake to write this, because I got up at 4AM today to drive John to the airport. And because I was convinced that if I took a nap, I would not be able to sleep tonight and therefore not want to get out of bed in the morning for work, I did not take a nap. So even though it is 6:45PM, it feels like 11 PM..lol.
So vacation was great. We did get some sun shine the last few days but before that torrential downpours dampened our spirits. Because of the down pours the lake rose to new heights, reached over the wall and completed flooded the lawn. So basically we could launch the boat from our stairs. See photo below...
In other news, John ran the "Four on the Fourth". Which is four miles ran on the Fourth of July...lol... I did not run the race but he did great and finished like a champ!
I spent WAY too much money. We hit up New Balance and also North Conway on the rainy days. When the sun was out, I basically took advantage and sat out covered in sun screen.
We slept hostel style in the new unfinished house..it was really fun. Especially since we go to sleep on the new mattresses while the parents slept in the cottage.
We also squeezed 11 people on the pontoon boat to take the ride to Naples to see the fireworks. That adventure is a blog on it's own..lol..but the boat stayed a float (sort of) we ran out of gas, but were saved and we got to see the fire works..lol.. it was also like 2 degrees and sitting in the front of the boat we got soaked, so that was awesome too.
Overall a great vacation. I am sad to see it end:(

A blog update, WHAT?!
Ok, I know...I am guilty of not writing a blog for about...almost....4 months now? Honestly it feels like much longer than that. Anyway, a lot has happened since my last blog about Twilight.
A small update on the condo. I am still waiting on it. This short sale is turing out to be a very very long sale. A little over a week ago, my realtor called to tell me that the deal was going to go through. That the bank wanted to change a bunch of things in the contract but he talked them out of it. At that time, he told me that would call me the next day and that it would most likely be that the condo was MINE. Well...it's been a week since that day and still nothing. Oh well, if it doesn't go through soon I am seriously going to tell them to forget it and to give my down payment back so I can start looking for another place.
John proposed on May 15th!! We had been talking about it for a while and with money really really tight, I knew that he would be giving me his grandmother's ring. So I knew it was going to happen that weekend, but he couldn't wait and asked me to marry him almost as soon as he walked in the door that night. He was so cute and the ring is gorgeous! I had it on for the past month and half, but finally parted with it this week so that the center stone can be tightened. I miss it!!! We have set a date of June 6, 2010 and I am the worst procrastinator in the world, so the planning is going very slow. But at least we have the date, right?
I am currently at Camp Ghetto for the week, trying to relax. I am hoping to update my blog at least one more time before I leave. It's funny how much more time you have when you are on vacation!!
Hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July. I have some photos that I may upload when I get home.
Missed you!!

Twilight...yes, I gave in....
Even since I heard of the Twilight series books last summer I was very tempted to read them. I actually purchased my friend the last book for her bday. She tried to convince me that I HAD to read the book, that I would love it! So, I said that I would but really didn't make an effort to purchase or read them.
The movie came out and I figured I love Buffy and Moonlight and all other Vampire shows, so I figured I would go see it. I thought the movie was awesome so Michelle an I each bought 2 books of the series for Christmas and we decided that we would read them.
Well.....many months have past and I just started to read them. And quite honestly, I can't put them down!! I am already on the third book, I am obsessed..lol..I even dragged John to the movie this past weekend for the second time....LOL!
So I am on the fourth book and I am actually sad that I don't have another to read after! Maybe I will start the series over again!!
Anyway, I gave in! And I don't regret it!!

Yay for President's Day!
Even though I am a tab bit jealous of all the teachers out there who have this entire week off, I am very happy that I have today off! Being able to sleep in on a Monday, get up go get iced coffee and relax it totally awesome! I am trying hard not to think about the pile of work that will be waiting for me tomorrow!:)
I did have a great weekend overall though. I woke up on Saturday and 2 dozen roses and chocolates were delivered to my door. That night I dragged John to the Phil Vassar concert which was totally awesome! I had so much fun and I think I am in love with Phil..hehe. Sunday Michelle and I rocked out Confessions of a Shopaholic which was very cute and funny. And right now, we are watching Ellen on DVR with our DD iced coffee.
In other news, I have pretty much given up my search for a condo/house or place to buy. Although it is a buyer's market, the sellers are not selling because it's not a seller's market. So pretty much there aren't many places on the market that I am interested in seeing...never mind buying!
That's all for now. I will update again later:)
