Miscellany

I took all my papers to Jackson Hewitt to get my taxes done last night. It is going to cost me THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS to get them done. I think I am going to try Turbo Tax.

How much do I love Rob and Amber? I didn't get a chance to see the second half of TAR last night, but I know from the TWOP forums that they didn't stop for the Cute Brothers. RAAAACCCEE, people. AND I hate Lynn and Lkex too and wouldn't have stopped if I saw them. The CB haven't but all the other teams have been total jerks to Romber since Day 1. Being helpful wouldn't be tops on my priority list either.

Carrie Underwood is going to win Idol. And if she doesn't, I will still buy every CD and go to every show I can. She rocks!

I had to cash in my coins to get gas money today. Thank God my first paycheck comes tomorrow.

HL's uncle is selling us his TRX450R. So I am finally getting my quad. Just in time for the end of desert season. :)

I have decided I am buying myself a Jeep for my birthday in October. Now to decide if I want to pay $30,000 for a new one.

My knee is still hurt and Nationals are looking iffy right now. I am still planning on competing but it is hard for me to train. Every time I go to class, I can't walk for two days afterward. Three weeks left to prepare and I am not sure what I am going to do.

Job is going great. I have personality conflicts with a couple of people but my boss loves me and so the guys I work for and that is all I really care about.

*grins and waves* Hi!

It is a hard realization that there comes a time when you have to put away childish things and become an adult. Especially when these things are people you love or things you need to change about yourself.

I feel like I have been thrust into another transitional stage in my life. I am relaxing into it, laying back and letting the current take me where it will. I feel introspective and peaceful, even though there are aspects of my personality that I have discovered that I do not like and that, too, was tough to realize. Change is in the wind and I believe it to be a good thing.

Work is going well. I really love my job, tough and busy as it is.

HL and I are doing VERY well. We spent an awesome weekend in the desert. I felt so much like my pre-depression/ADHD self. Our relationship felt a lot like it used to too. It was nice.

Stressed at work today so I treated myself to sushi. Which I am going to eat while working, so I'm off.

Fun With Pictures

Just a couple of shots that I took...



This is from this morning. I went out last night so I am a little puffy. Call me Puff Hammie.



This is Meg and me being goofy at one of HammieLove's hockey games. *roar*

BLUE

Don't know why. It is a beautiful day. I spent yesterday at the beach and partying with friends from the studio.

I'm just blue.

*hmph*

The bright side is really shining down on me though. Things are awesome in my life. I got a new job that I start on Monday. I am going to be a sales assistant to a team of 7 salesmen for a company that deals in international importing and sales. They are paying me an insane amount of money and my office is five minutes from the beach. I am really excited to start working full time again.

Training is going really well. I tweaked my knee yesterday a little in Krav class but otherwise things have been awesome. I have done three classes without having to use my inhaler. I feel better, I look better (another 5 pounds down and a couple more inches lost), and I am beginning to feel more prepared for Nationals. I am still terrified -- but more prepared.

I miss my David. I know that is one thing putting me in a funk.

I think I am just restless. Maybe the new job will kick the blues out of me.

I know that going to the beach for lunch every day will do it. :)
