We had a tornado warning come out in New Haven county just to the west of us.  Scared the crap out of me.  I'm glad you got home safe!

Good luck with the job and the weight loss. Take care.

Chad

Thats kinda the same thing for me...Im different at work than outside of work...I just try to put on a happy face at my job cause literally I hate it soo much...but outside of work I am much more upbeat and happy...probably cause Im not there anymore. lol.

Good luck, I hope you get the job. Take care.

Chad

 Congrats ahead of time, cause I already know they're gonna love you and hire you right away!

But in the meantime.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Lemme know how it all turns out!

OMG Tori and Dean...one of my guilty pleasures!  I loved that show!  I am a little bummed the season was over...I feel so sorry for her and the way her mother treated her.  I still can't believe her beloved father didn't leave her much in her inheritance.. I am a bit of a celebrity junky!  I really want to read her new book too!  I am cheesy right there with you!

Well you really don't get much time to be home w/Josh so the times you are..you take it seriously...I know what you mean about being a house wife..I would love to stay home too but with the economy..it's so hard..that's why I think I am a little hesitant on having another baby..my daughter will be 6 in january...wow..that's crazy!  Anyways.. I envy those stolen moments of just relaxing having no worries...

Just remember.. Patience and practice is all it takes..

Even when your fingers start to hurt.. Try to go just a bit longer.

Almost every song you'd want to know.. If you can learn how to read tabs, you can pretty much learn how to play any song you want..

I'm so excited your learning!! :)

Miss you, love!

2 blankets is a really good idea!  Although Jason will probably steal both... lol, just kidding. 
I love having great gym music on my iPod.  I'm still compiling the "perfect" playlist, but I'm getting there...
Lol, your dog sounds like mine- thankfully he is also very good at entertaining himself.  He likes rubber squeaky toys and sometimes you can hear him running around the garden, squick, squick, squick.  Its so cute!

I hope things get better for you at work. I'll keep you in my prayers. Take care.

Chad

My husband is the boss on his job.  He always said I didn't get as far as I am in my career by trying to make everybody happy.  I got here by being doing a good job for my company.  Don't let some 16 brat get to you.  How far do you think she will go in her life if every time something doesn't go her way, she has to have her daddy stand up for her?  Like you said , "I am a good manager!"

Hang in there!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG!!!!!!)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hey...it's a CT hug!  Wish we lived closer, 'cause I'd show up in person and deliver it myself!!

I'm glad you have your life planned out.....good luck with everything......take the photography course......nothing wrong with bettering yourself, especially in something you like doing. Take care.

Chad

I'm glad everything is going well in your life right now. Take care.

Chad

OMG! I LOOOOOOOOVE the smell of fresh cut grass. I wish they made it in a candle scent. LOL... those would be burning in my house all the time. I also love the smell of that wild garlic. I'm strange, I know.

Congrats on the weight loss! That's so awesome!

Take care!

WoW ~ Since August of last year?  I had to go back and read what was going on then.  That's when someone stole my panties.    Thanks for reading and thanks for the encouragement.  It means alot to know that there are those out there who are rooting for me !!

I hate it when I have that "want to eat everything in sight" kind of day.  Only because when I do eat everything, I never feel really satisfied and then I just feel bad afterward. 

I say stick it out at your job until  you find something else.  It's always  easier to find a job when you have one. 

I say go for the photography course !!!  Just do it....It sounds like a lot of fun.  Do you have a good camera.  I just may consider taking a photography course myself. 

I was supposed to close tonight, but I pushed myself too hard with my messed up hand.  Now instead of light duty, I have a splint on my pinky finger and no use of my left hand.

P.S. of course you're on my friends list!

great job with the weight loss!! =]

I love your journal btw!! =]

actually I find all the stuff about your job interesting, I guess I'm just as much of a geek than right?

Somebody on this site recommended fitday.com to me to help loose weight, you can track all the food you've ate and it tell you how many calories you've consumed. It's pretty cool. Check it out.

I love hearing about your job!  I think it is awesome that you are able to turn around the store and show what a strong person you can be....you are excited about it and it definately not boring to read..I think it shows how important you are and I hope you get the recognition you deserve!

Date nights....ah..those are sooo important after you get married...that is one thing my therapist has told my husband and I.  We tend to get into a routine and having our daughter we rarely spend one on one time w/each other...so you guys are on the right path!!!  Damn girl...I admire you for your determination!  I wish I had half of what you have when it comes to will power! 
Jam

niceee. I just bought a pair of shoes form mandies last night... and they broke today

haha Just thought you'd like to know hahahaa.

You're welcome, I hope you had a  nice evening. Take care.

Chad

Man just reading your work schedule exhausts me..I can only imagine how you are feeling..you definately need a day off!  Congrats on the losing those extra pounds..it's so hard doing that...I definately need to do something about mine...but I just can't find that push to get me to do it!!!  It's like I need to have a reason to lose weight..is that bad?? 
Jam

It's just stress, it'll pass. Take care.

Chad

That was not very nice of you. You need to calm yourself down! How would you feel if he came in, after you had been cleaning and started to throw stuff down and mumble and have a hissy?

Maybe you should focus more on having a perfect start to your marriage, rather than a perfect day filled with stuff and everything in it's place. You are alienating your husband to be, over stupid details.

Now I know that I am being harsh. And I am sorry. I'm not trying to be a bitch. But I know that with big weddings it's easy to get lost in the details. I'm just hoping to provide you with a reminder. You are starting a new life with this guy, and sounds like he's trying awfully hard to put up with you. And "YES" you have a right to be a nervous wreck. But just try and go a little easy on the guy. He's nervous, too.

kudos. I totally agree!!! I hate fake people that talk about every person they know just to make themselves feel better about their miserable life. Misery loves company...just remember that and dont go to the party.

=]

You can look elsewhere for a best friend also, it doesn't have to be her/him that finds someone else to be friends with. Take care.

Chad

nice.

I wanna get out of the house with you!

My life is so boring these days.. bleh.

I miss you.

thank you...I feel the same way.  I'm glad I know what's going on.

ha you should. It's fricken healthy and I'm totally addicted to working out. It's my only free time and I love it. Plus your much skinnier than me anyway!

Thanks for the comment.. I was so nervous about that post!!! =/

[bananna]

I'm glad y'all had a good and safe trip. Take care.

Chad

There is absolutely nothing to worry about. I mean, its like he said:

why does the date matter? the point is- you're getting married. ;)

think on that for a while. think of hoe you are so lucky- you're getting MARRIED!!! thats quite fortunate, if you ask me.

hope that helped,

~Yasu

wow seems like time flew by, I remember when you just got engaged.

Sting's When we Dance or Lose my Faith- those are gorgeous.

 Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doing all over again

Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love

Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand
And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever I'm happy and free

Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love

Oh, Baby
Oh...

Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love
It's Your Love,
It's Your Love.

Fun party song?  Hands down "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.  We did the Chicken Polka at our wedding after much alcohol was served...can we, uh, say mosh pit?  If you're brave toss that in!

P.S. Avoid the song "Celebration".  Evvvvvvverybody does that song!!

Bret Michaels - "All I Ever Needed"

Lonestar - "Amazed"

You've been on my mind more so than ever lately.. I miss you SO SO SO much too!

Maybe it's that undying connection we've ALWAYS had since day one..

The love I have for you will ALWAYS be here.. AND there. ;)

I'm so happy to know life is working as planned for you.

Call me sometime.. I miss your voice.

Have fun in Vermont. Take care.

Chad

yay.. I'm glad Kelley found a place!

It'll be a nice relief for you and you'll finally be able to have that space that you and Josh need :)

I'm sorry you've been lonely..

I've been incredibly lonely too :(

Okay.. onto more catching up.

I hope you had a good 4th. Take care.

Chad

Those damn commercials that say "Text L-O-V-E to 0000 to get a free ringtone" type crap will get you bc they charge your cell phone provider and make money off of you.

Stupid.

I hope you get your cell phone bill straightened out and I hope Princess will be ok. Take care.

Chad

Awww....how adorable. I'm sure she'll get better though. I have a dog of my own. She is two and shes mini pincher and yorkie. I love little dogs.

Best of luck.

-the Libertine

glad the dog's okay.

i've been on a diet for 3 weeks.  i eat yogurt, or the healthy choice soups for breakfast and lunch, with one of those 100 calorie snack packs thrown in so i'm not too jungry, then eat whatever i want (within reason) for dinner.  it's not too expensive a diet to mantain, and so far i've lost 10 lbs!  don't get too upset about it.  it just makes you more depressed.  just hop on the treadmill (or whatever you do for exercise) and throw on some good tunes and go. 

I hope you feel better. Take care.

Chad

sounds like you got a lot done this weekend. Good that she found an apartment so quick too. have a good one.

Ravenlyn

I'm glad Kelley liked the apartment but I'm sorry you had to be alone on your day off. Take care.

Chad

I'm glad you had fun last night, I hope you did anyway. Take care.

Chad

Thanks for your comment. I hope you survived your day. Take care.

Chad

I hope she finds another apartment soon, for your sake. For that matter, I hope I find another apartment soon, and with a different landlord. Take care.

Chad

I love crabbing too.............don't drop one though, I had one chase me.......lol. Take care.

Chad

Hope you had a good day at work. Take care.

Chad

I'm glad you had a good day at work, and a good day for the most part. Talk to you soon and take care.

Chad

I hope you can find a good reasonable photographer. Take care.
