I'm BACKKKKKKK.......

Hello! Well, I've had quite the time recently. My computer crashed....I had to bring it all the way down and re-install the operating system...which sucks because I lost all my email addresses (I had them plugged in to Incredimail...but forgot to take the off...dummy!). Anyway, the computer is getting better so I'm happy.

School is HELL...I don't know what I was thinking taking 3 upper division finance classes this semester. Again, dumb! It's aweful and makes me not even want to go anymore. I normally enjoy school, but I've put myself in a somewhat bad situation in that I am constantly working on school work, thinking about, or going to class and I made a bad choice to cut into my family time. It's too much. I'm going to finish this semester as best I can and next semester, I will cut back to 2 classes and search for those that are online or TV.

Since starting school, I fell off the wagon with my diet and the ALLI pills. I went back last Monday, the 8th..starting Jenny Craig food again on Tuesday and the pills. As of Saturday, the 13th, I was down 6 lbs!!! 239.5 to 233.5!! WOOHOOO!!! So, I'm back on track! I had a little hiccup last night as it was Mike's birthday party! I took him to Tahoe Joe's and we had big steaks (YUMMMM), but starting tomorrow again, I'm back on track! I now weigh in every other week with JC (due to schedule), so I officially weigh in next Saturday and my goal is to be under 230...which I haven't been since before I got pregnant!!!! When I found out I was pregnant, I weighed about 210-215 if I remember correctly. That was right before I found out and I could not lose weight...I was trying. My body likes to pack on the pounds!! Anyway....I am optimistic about getting under 220 by Thanksgiving! That's my goal!

Have a great week!

Rants..

I've neglected my blog for a couple of weeks since starting school. I don't know what I was thinking taking 3 classes this semester. I hate hate hate my DS 101 class (Statistics for Managers) and the teacher isn't very good. He's all over the place and doesn't let us ask any questions..it's weird. I thought it was just me thinking this, but it's not. My first quiz....I got a 5 out of 20...that's not good. Well, so did just about everyone else in the class so I know I'm not dumb. :) My other classes are fine...Accouting (online) I just struggle to find the time to sit down at the computer and do the work for the week...but I'm caught up this week! Econ 135 (Money, Banking and Financial Markets) is the other course...I like it, but I don't know if I'm good at it yet...good enough to do well on the test tomorrow, which is not multiple choice..it's bluebook. We'll see! Work is good-I think I get my review pretty soon...I'm interested to see what my new boss has to say about me and my work. The funny thing is, he never asked for any of my production numbers in terms of how many spreads I've done (credit analyst world, when we analyze the financial statements, we are spreading...I know, it sounds dirty). I'm thinking it must be good if he didn't even care to have those numbers. But, I would think he would want some gauge on my progress...we'll see. I hope I get a raise. I barely got one last year.

O.k..MY RANT! MY COMPUTER is my RANT!! It's been infected with all kinds of spyware, adware, viruses....I finally got them all cleaned off I think last night...come on this morning...another f&*(&*(&ing pop up! Sorry....it's just making me so mad....I want a laptop...one can hope right!

The diet! With my busy schedule during the week and on the weekend (I go to class on Saturdays), I haven't made it in to Jenny Craig to get food and all that. My home scale says I'm holding steady, so that's good. I haven't taken the Alli pill since I ran out of JC Food...I don't want to risk the side effects. I need to call JC today and get back in tonight to get food!

Here's a picture of me and my baby...she is doing well. She's actually come in to what people say is the "terrible 2's". She's starting to talk back, say NO, hit me when she's mad and scream loudly. Most of the time she fine, but probably once every couple of days, we have a "situation" as I like to call it.

Happy October!
