Post and Run....

I hate to blog and run, but here I go.

My new job is great! I get to work at like 8:45 and am out the door by like 5:15. Can't beat that!! There will be times when we work late or have something going on, but for the most part that's it! It's so nice to see my kids and not have to rush rush rush!! My acutal job is pretty fun too. I was happy that they pretty much just let me jump in to my responsibilities as opposed to watching someone do mundane and mindless activities (like writing the bank deposit) for 2 weeks. I don't have a lot of time for playing around online (goodbye precious F.ace.Book, blo.g and My.Spa.ce hours!!) but the days go so quickly and it seriously is something new every day. My boss will come in and give me a list of tasks and they keep me busy all day! I can tell they are happy with what I have been doing and that they enjoy having me around! I am also excited that they see my "knack" for wedding related stuff and have pretty much given me free reign on renting the facility for special events. I am working a bridal show in 2 weeks and they want me to do all sorts of networking with caterers and other wedding related vendors!! Cool huh?

The kids have been fine, I think we are all antsy for our trip to the beach. We leave today (hence my early morning blogging) and come back on Sunday. We are going with 2 other families who are already down there and I am excited. We aren't all going to go out to eat together (hello....table of 16!!) but we should have good times grilling out and everything. I miss living at the beach so if I can have almost 2 weeks out of the year there (now and my honeymoon) then sign me up!

That's pretty much an update on me from the last two weeks....it's PMS week here so you all know that this is going to be a long trip to Florida for us all. I will try to be patient, I will try to be patient....

Happy early 4th!!

Addicted

To selling stuff on E.bay! OMG I have never sold stuff on there but now I can't stop. I started by selling some of my not used wedding stuff....new crinolin skirt, bra, etc..and I was making money! Now I am selling books, cd's, whatever I have to sell. It's terrible. Anyone else have these addictions?

2 days (well today and tomorrow) left at my job. And I.Can't.Wait!!!

Trying to think of what's going on in my world...not much for once! Just hanging out - we have been hanging out with our neighbors a lot...letting the kids hang out late at night (well like 9pm late), going out to dinner at this yummy local pizza place..and just relaxing! It's so nice! I forgot how nice it is to not have anything going on!

Date night tonight---and I have no clue what we are going to do! Any suggestions?

Updates!

So I finally found time to be bored enough to update my blogroll and added a stat counter. Man, I'm getting fancy! If anyone wants to advise me on how to change my background, suggestions or how to's would be appreciated.

Anyways, check out some newly added reading material and enjoy what I enjoy every day!!

Weird Dreams

So the past two nights I have had very random off the wall dreams. It was the same concept, just different story. Sunday I had a dream I was sailing on a boat and there was this very attractive Indian (like from India, not an American Indian) man who pretty much ended up stealing my heart and whisking me away to a new life. I remember in my dream I was just so in love with him. I have never dated an Indian guy before so there is no resemblence there, but still kind of random.

Then last night, I dreamt that I pretty much fell head over heels for this older guy. He was in the military and I somehow managed to sneak on the plane he was being deployed on, and leave everything I know behind. He was older than me - probably in his early 40's but it was weird b/c I don't usually date older guys. Just Bryan - 6 yrs my senior! Anyways, I again remember being so gaga over this guy - when he wasnt't THAT special (I mean he was no Brad Pitt or anything).

Why am I having these dreams? Consecutively?? I am 100% happy with my life and new marriage, what is my psyche trying to tell me?

Pictures Galore!

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend like me! I finally remembered to have my camera and my usb cord in the same place so feast your eyes on what we have been up to lately.

Alex will kill me for this later but somehow Savannah convinced him to put this on....he looks mad but he really was having fun. I have one of my brother like this from a long time ago....


A few from Savannah's dance recital - it was too dark to get some good pics but my girl is cheesing it up. SHe did a great job and we are super proud of her - she had a 3rd dance but I didn't get any pics that were blog-worthy!!





The Family after recitals...notice the little ones - tired and bored. Anna insisted on "dressing up" as she does everyday - complete with pearls and a little gold ring from when I was little.


And finally a cheesy, I'm at work self pic of my new hair cut - 2 weeks later!!

Me in a Mosaic

I got this from cady. here’s the idea:
1. type your answer to each of the questions below into flickr search.
2. using only the first page of results, pick one image.
3. copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into big huge lab’s mosaic maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.

the questions:
1. what is your first name?
2. what is your favorite food? right now?
3. what high school did you go to?
4. what is your favorite color?
5. who is your celebrity crush?
6. what is your favorite drink?
7. what is your dream vacation?
8. what is your favorite dessert?
9. what do you want to be when you grow up?
10. what do you love most in life?
11. what is one word that describes you?
12. what is your flickr name

I thought I would be a lot more colorful???

Letting Go....

SO I was at lunch today and I went to pull out my debit card to pay for my lunch and I am again staring at my shiny new debit card. The one with my new name on it. I have finally changed all my bills, all my information to my new name and my debit card was the last piece of the puzzle. I got my new one on Friday and still have not activated it. I don't know why I can't bring myself to activate it and finally be Mrs. "R". It's not that I am hung up on my old last name (which in turn is 11 letters long and I am now a 3 letter gal), I just feel like it's a part of me that isn't going to be with me every day anymore. I mean, yes, it is my middle name and it is Anna's last name, but it's not MINE anymore. Anywhere I go where I was once identified by my very distinct last name is now void. No one knows Sara "R". They know Sara "Cxxxxxxxxxx".

Also, at my current job (8 days and counting!!!) I feel like I am already gone. Not that I am sad about leaving, but I just feel like, why I am I here now? We are assigned new "leads" every day and that stopped for me. Makes sense, but still...I feel like I am just going through the motions (motions I am sooo over). Even my co workers act different. They are already acting like I am gone. It's weird. I just wish I was already gone. In fact, I felt sick to my stomach (not preggers girls, sorry - it's not going to happen!!) but I took my last sick day yesterday just because. My nausea passed (I think it was because I took my vitamins and b/c pill and didn't eat anything) and I ended up at the pool with the kids. Bad, bad employee...oh well - I deserve it.

Done.

I did it! I resigned from my job! I was a nervous wreck like all weekend long. Seriously. I hate keeping things like this from people and it was driving me nuts. So first thing yesterday I went to my boss and told her. THANKFULLY she totally understood. She said she knows how much I stress about it all with the kids and that she understands. She also said she would like me to work the full 2 weeks so I was not too stoked about that but then again, knowing I'm done in 2 weeks is cool.

I told everyone else and they were all surprised, but not shocked. SO it was cool. Very glad how it all went over.

I will post pics of Savannah's recital and my new hair when I get a second.
