  • Goood morning friends.  Sorry have not written as often as I should.  Life just gets busy at times.  As I mentioned before I FINALLY joined a gym and with my bonus this year I decided to make it about me and hired a personal trainer.  Some thought I was crazy spending that kind of money but it's been the best gift I have ever purchased.  I actually should say we purchased cause my husband decided to do it with me.  It has been awesome.  I have never worked so hard.  I have Ryan who encourages me and does not let me quit.  He let's me moan and groan and whine but continues to push me and then praises me when I push through.  I have lost 8.5 pounds in 3.5 weeks, but the greatest amazing thing to watch is the body shape.  I have lost 2 inches on waist one on the hips 1/2 inch on calves and on and on.  It is amazing!!!  My clothes fit different!  I am not shopping again until I have completed my time with Ryan.  I know I will continue my work outs after my time with Ryan is up.  Ryan has also taught me so much about nutrition.  I read labels, I ask resturants for their nutrion guides.  It's crazy.  Never thought I would do this.  But honestly I am loving it.  I have another month an half with Ryan, I can't wait.  I just might keep him!    Maybe I will post before and after pics.  Oh my gawd do I dare????

    Saturday is my birthday.  I have had along with the excitment of working out 5 days a week, a sadness to be getting older.    Iknow, I know, crazy!!  I am going to be 58.  I had to have a little skin "cancer" removed from the back of my left arm.  Liquid nitrogen does not feel good when it is sprayed on your arm by this gizmo that looks like a bunson burner!   But that was dealt with.  Anyways I always get a little sad around my birthday, this year is no different. I am just pushing through it!    I am taking a three day weekend to just do nothing.  Yeah!!!  My husband is taking the time off work too!  To hang out with me.  He is so wonderful!!!!

    Well I got to get ready for work.  Going to be late.  Love ya all!!!

  • Wow it's been a while.  Sorry.  I have not had much going on.  Family is doing well.  Work is fine.  Just not feeling all that spunky these days.  Oh wait something new is in my life.  I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer.  I work out with Ryan three days a week for an hour each day.  Only been doing this for two weeks.  I just wanted to feel stronger and maybe loose 20 pounds in the process.  Kinda of feeling another year creeping up on me.  Shortly, very shortly I will turn 58.  Ryan has a degree in nutrition.  So he has really taught me a lot about my eating habits.  I eat totally different.  My husband decided to do this with me and he also is with a trainer.  His trainer is taking a little different approach with him.  But Wick benefits from the nutrion lessons I get from Ryan.

    I work hard and am anxious to see results.  Right now it is soreness and sweat!!! 

    I think I am ready for a vacation.  No vacation till end of May.  Hope I can hold on!

    Take my friends.

  • Wow, so sorry it's been so long since the interview and I have not posted.  I was not selected for the position, their loss.   This job was truly written for me.  Lots of praises for the excellent job I did of interviewing and presentation but.......     All is good.  I luckily love what I do.  Just needing new challenges and change.  Going through a very busy time.  So much to do at work.  Never to busy to plan our next vacation though!!

    We love the Mexican Riveria and my daughter and few of her couple friends would like to see it.  So we are all going back to Cancun this year in May.  My husband is so sweet he is knows it gives us a chance to spend time with my daughter and son in law.  It is such a beautiful place where we stay and lots to do and see.  Plus relaxation is always awaiting us there.  So I am busy putting that together along with planning my mom's 80th birthday.  My husband and have collected memorabilia from family and friends, pictures, stories, and more and we are putting together a DVD.  She is going to be so pleased.  We are having fun.  We have four months to complete it.  We are transferring clips from  8mm home movies onto the DVD as well.  It is so much fun to go through the memories.

    Well have to get to work.  Have a wonderful week my friends.

  • I have been with the same company going on 11 years (October 2008).  I really love what I do and who I work for.  Now believe me there are days I want to pull my hair out and shout from the tallest building that this job sucks.  But what job won't do that to you?  I am very proud of the fact that I started on the basement level of this company and they recognized my loyalty and work ethics along with my performance.  I have been able to contiue to grow and be challenged as I worked my way up the small ladder.    Today I have an interview....3rd round!  I meet with the call center Director for yet another advancement.  I am excited and nervous.  I really want this position.  I can finally stop supervising, people.  Don't get me wrong I love my team and they me.  We work well together.  I actually believe part of why they work hard is for ME.  Call me crazy.  It is a good feeling.  But I so want a position where my performance is not affected by the performance of others.  I will still have direct reports under me but only 4 as opposed to 13.  We (my new team, if I should be so lucky)  will manage staff operations.Think positive thoughts for me today!!!

    I enjoyed Superbowl.  Only time during the year I really sit down and watch football.    Did your favorite team win?

    Have a wonderful week my friends.  Take care of you.
