Fallen Off . . . Catching Up

Okay so I said in the beginning that I was actually going to do this and I have been terrible about it. I find that when I get home from work, the last thing I really want to do is be on the computer, especially since I spend a majority of my "work life" on the computer or the blackberry they have given me to ensure I am always up to speed with what is going on. So here I am, day 3 back from vacation and I felt the urge to blog. My bosses are gone and my coworkers are 3 offices away. I am feeling very unmotivated (still not fully out of vacation mode), realizing I only have about an hour left in the day, I am going to catch up whom ever out there reads this, on the last few months of my life.

Well I said I was going to start a diet and try and reach my goal by Turkey Day, well with my crazy schedule and the oh so many excuses I can not count, I fell off the wagon quick. The holidays are around the corner but I am not giving up. I am slowly getting back on track and will allow myself all the yummy treats during the holidays, though I am not going to over indulge.

I just got back from a week in Missouri on a 25 acre alpaca farm. Hubby went hunting with his business partner and I relaxed and read. I finally finished (though years later) the 6th instalment of the Harry Potter Series. I started the 7th and final book Wednesday and am already about a 3rd of the way through it. I will be so sad when it is over.

My Mom's youngest sister is very ill. She is currently in the ICU and fighting. The Doctor's feel that she only has maybe 2 weeks left. It is so sad, she has been sick for a long time now but recently it has gotten so much worse. I am not close with her at all, she and my Uncle kept to themselves a lot and I never had much of a relationship with them. My Mom and her older sister will be going to see her this weekend most likely, to spend time with her and possible say their farewells. I am crossing my fingers that she will be okay, but it is not looking good.

Still looking into Grad School, just not sure where or in what. Unfortunately my choices are limited in this area unless I do a completely online program.

I am sure there is much more but I just had to take a call and lost my steam. More to come soon . . . I hope.
