Re: 3 things each.

  • Awesome: My wedding is in 4 weeks, I just graduated, and since school is out, I have a ton of down time. It's awesome.

    Shitty: Being unemployed (but this will be changing soon hopefully), being poor, and my lack of exercise due to pure laziness.

    Awesome:
    I love my job
    getting back in with my personal trainer (I can FINALLY afford it again!)
    Its summer (almost), everything is infinately better in the summer - Ive got a garden, I can bbq dinner every night, beer tastes better, and its just fun.

    Not so awesome:
    Too much debt so we have to postpone any fun things until we have paid off a chunk
    I rarely see my husband because of his comic which is tough
    My feet are fucked and I need to get 500$ orthotics to make it managable.

    3 good things: I graduate with my nursing degree next Friday. I get married 2 weeks from today. my nails and hair look awesome right now.

    3 bad things: I still don't have a frickin' job. I have no money. FI may lose his job.

    I have the perfect pets.

    I am on my period and I am in pain.

  • 1.  awesome weather this weekend
    2.  teaching ends in 5 days and i'm excited to have a change of pace.
    3.  i'm watching the hangover with DH instead of doing dishes.

    1.  my apartment is a complete disaster, and i don't forsee it getting cleaned because we're moving in a month, and the boxes create more mess.
    2.  moving.  i hate moving.  i love our new place, but packing everything up sucks.
    3.  we will never have enough money.  we're fortunate... but movey never goes as far as i would like/expect.
  • Oh another shitty one, my H has taken on more days at work RIGHT when I get I get out of school. He will be working everyday but Sundays.

    Awesome: We just got a bunch of money kind of unexpectedly, It's almost summer break and I could not be more excited, and I've lost 9 lbs.

    Sucky: I still have a crapload more than 9 lbs left to lose if I want to look anything resembling a hot female this summer, We have to wait at least 3 more weeks for our new patio, which means it will be 100 degrees outside probably before we can use it, and I still don't have a full time job and probably won't for a while.

  • Awesome:  We are leaving for Guatemala for two months to volunteer at a school and we leave in less than a month!, I LOVE my job, and we are moving into our new apartment June 1st...yay!

    Not so awesome: Current living situation, lack of money, and I have been slacking at going to the gym lately.

  • Awesome :

    I am marrying the most wonderful man I know in 4 1/2 months!
    It's a Saturday and I didn't do really anything today!
    Just booked a pretty awesome honeymoon villa with private pool!

    Sh!tty:

    We are so poor it sucks
    I think i'm depressed
    I'm way too fat. I need to lose weight ASAP, i'm afraid I won't want to look at any of our wedding pics. 

    "does this sweater make me look fat?" "no, the fact that your fat makes you look fat. That sweater just makes you look purple".
  • Thanks guys!

    TLV 9 pounds is good! As long as the number is going down, that's progress!

  • Awesome: 
    1. My kids got home today from a stay with Nana
    2. I got major ego boosts last night while out with friends
    3. Having a movie night with the kids, then FI and I are watching True Blood which he hasn't seen and needs to watch two seasons of before 6/13.

    Not-So-Awesome
    1. My kids got home today from a stay with Nana
    2. I have no idea if my engagement is still on
    3. My house is a mess and I'm feeling lazy

    Great stuff:

    1) I LOVE that I get to marry my FI in September 
    2) I love my house which we bought 6 months ago, YAY
    3) I have an amazing dog

    Bad stuff:

    1) I'm slightly stressed over money for the wedding
    2) I would like to lose 7 lbs. and it's not as easy as it used to be at the ripe old age of 27
    3) My credit score went down and I'm not sure why...that really pisses me off. I think it may have something to do with buying the house with the debt to income ratio.

    tlv do you do anything muscle building? Its possible youre losing fat but gaining muscle so it isnt showing on the scale. Ive gained around 10-15lbs of muscle in the past year and it really throws the numbers off on the scale.
  • Awesome: The wedding is in getting so close, I'm doing well with the weight loss, I finished my master's thesis.

    Not so great: I'm in Ithaca, I have nothing to do for the next two weeks, I truly dislike most of the people in my department.

  • That's great Fishy!

    Good:
    -I'm engaged! And in love with him too   :)
    -I love my new house, I bought it not quite 5 months ago and have been so happy ever since
    - Yesterday I adopted my first dog ever- a greyhound, and I adore her.

    Bad:
    - I have been really ill for nearly a year now, I'm been hospitalized 5 times and things are still kind of not-so-great health wise.
    -I do not like my job one bit, although I do appreciate having it. I have not been able to get another one though thus far.
    - My meds have caused me to put on about 20 lbs since I started them in November. I am working hard to lose it but it's really tough AND I have just recently developed stretch marks. I want to cry.

  • 3 Good Things
    1) We are getting a lot of stuff done around the house
    2) My garden is growing all sorts of little seedlings
    3) I got my contract for next year so I definitely am staying with the school

    3 Bad Things
    1) Getting things fixed around the house is expensive as crap
    2) I didn't get to run today because I'm still sore as all get out from yesterday
    4) I feel very squishy today and think I lost a lot of muscle during the moving process from not doing strength training and eating crappy food.
  • Fishy-
    I have Crohn's disease. I've had it since I was a teenager and actually had surgery back in college and had been fine ever since, until last june. Out of nowhere it came back with a vengeance and keeps putting me in the hospital. Usually I feel pretty good though, which is kind of hard to deal with because I'll be fine one day and the next day I'll be in intense sudden pain and end up spending a week in the hospital. Ick.
  • Well that sounds relatively sucky! Sorry you have to deal with that.

    Nebb- I have not been doing much strength training, so I don't think I can blame the heavy muscle :) I've just been really busy and therefore not working out as much as I should. But like I said, summer break starts soon, so then I'll have lots of time for exercise, and even though gardening isn't exactly cardio, at least it will make me be a little more active in day to day life! Plus, if it ever stops raining here, I need to take Leo on more walks. He loves them, but I don't love them enough to walk him in the rain.

  • Good:
    FI finally has a job within an hour of me.
    I love my job and hope to move up in it.
    I will be getting a 10-15% raise in July

    Bad
    FIs new job is only part time, so he'll be only 40 mins away, but move in with his parents.
    My car is thisclose to breaking down.
    My moms sick (nothing too bad I hope) and no one can figure out what's wrong.

  • Aww thanks. There are definitely worse things in the world. I need to count my blessings.

    PS- Where's a good place to buy a (cheap) heart rate monitor? I think I'm guessing too much and one of those might help.
