Update... well sorta....

So apparently this has become a yearly post blog. lol I didn't intend for it to; but, it does seem suspicious to me that I feel this need to vent and express around the same time every year. Anyway, an update in the craziness that is my life, I've decided to take a break from school since last post, and that has proven to have been the best thing for me. I've lost 25 lbs, and have been happier in general. I may go back to finish later, or I may do something completely different. But either way I'll do what I feel I have the proper motivation to do. A really great teacher of mine once said, 'never do anything unless you do it 100%, otherwise it's not beneficial to you or those you're working with.' I paraphrase, but that's what I got out of it. So, that's what I'm trying to do. Though at this point I'm still job hopping, and the most recent job is not turning out to be the best fit. I do the job well, just not within the exact time limits, but that's another blog post altogether.

So what was I saying?... Oh yeah. Update! DH and I have been working on our house, converting out washing machine to a greywater system. So today I get to punch holes in our walls! :D This should be very cathartic. lol Also, it'll be nice to not have to do the hokey-poky when trying to do laundry. I like the idea of going green where I can. We've even been using a clothesline. However, this can be counterproductive where we live. Sometimes the wind decides to get a bit over zealous and kicks up so much dust and dirt that my clothes would come in dirtier than when I first put them in the washer...... Thank goodness for a dryer. :D When I am lucky enough to get to dry my clothes on the line, I get to revel in the fact that the clothes end up smelling like sunshine!! *Sigh* :D It's funny, but I actually enjoy doing laundry more now that it's more complicated. lol In other news, DH has started really growing as a piano tuner. He's had quite a few jobs and we hope for his business to grow more and more. It makes me happy to see him so happy with what he does. There is nothing cuter than a full-grown man giggling and doing "the happy dance" when he shows me the piano he's just finished working on. "Can you hear that?" he says as he plays a few chords. "It sounds sooooo much better!!! and the action feels like how it should, and I did it all by myself!!! I'm a big boy now!" lol OK maybe he doesn't say the last bit there, but boy, can you see the pride in his eyes when he's accomplished something that most can't. lol I love that feeling. Doing something you didn't know how to do before, and you put forth the effort to learn it and now are very proficient with it. Just, feels good!

Anyway..... So I've decided that I'm going to make this a daily or at least weekly blog. I need a verbal outlet. Oddly enough I can't utilize facebook like that anymore since the people I'd be griping about are on my friend's list, and I just don't think it would be very professional of me to dis my current boss openly like that. I kinda don't like the idea of burning bridges that I'm currently standing in the middle of. But hopefully they won't be subscribers on here. Apparently half of the people I work with can't stand me anyway. And ya know what? It's their loss. I may not be the most amazing person, but I am a person worthy of love and kindness and respect. That's all I'm going to say about that for now.

Well DH is home from the hardware store and now I need to go punch some holes in them there walls!!! Yeee haw!!!!! Wish us luck! lol
