It’s that time of year again. The beginning. Where we make our resolutions and TRY to stick to them. I generally make goals, but this year, I just haven’t got the energy to even think about it. That’s the fun of ending out the year and starting a new one when you are sick. Since we hardly updated last year, I guess I should give you all some sort of overview. But only if you really really

This was an eventful year for Sans and I. Sans started on his second year at his job, and I finally got a job, after being unemployed for over a year. My mom got remarried (and I gained two sisters, a brother and a new dad). Mario lost part of his tail and had to go to the emergency vet not one, but two times this year. I only had to go once. Sans had to go to the doctor because he was

So, doctor’s appointments, sigh. We are getting caught up again – it’s that time of year. I’m still having trouble getting the correct amount of insulin every month. The pharmacy or insurance or something seems to think that 100 ml a month = 45 units a day. No. It does not. The amount I’m given, taken exactly as directed only give me enough for about 22 days a month. So that other 8-10 days? No

A week or two after the wedding, Sans and I met our friend Meadow for bowling in Vancouver. She had called us a couple of weeks before, but we were always busy with the wedding plans and stuff. She said that she had something important to ask me. She recently had a baby boy and while she was pregnant, the daddy proposed to her. So, I thought she was going to ask me to be in her wedding. I was

Wow. So many updates, so little time. Since I started working, I just haven’t had the time to update. Sorry about that. So, we’re going to break this down into three parts. Hopefully that will make it easier to read. July was not the best month, we had the 110 degree heat wave for a couple of days, we had an accident with Mario, and the apartment buildings started being painted. Also, in the

I got a job! It’s a long term temporary position, but it’s a job, nonetheless. After the movie screening, the agency offered me a short term job at an online and phone wagering call center for horse races. I don’t actually take the bets, mostly just setting up accounts, doing deposits and withdrawals on accounts and information about the races. I was brought on for the Kentucky Derby and worked a

Sorry for the lack of updates, there hasn't been much to tell. Unless you just want to hear more of my complaining about the job market, and lack of funds. So, I will tell you a story. Last week, I had an interview with an agency. I rode the Max (by myself!), and went in. Obviously, I need to wear in my feet again to be able to walk in shoes other than Tennies or flip flops.

I got my hair cut yesterday. This is the first time I have done something like this since my hair has started growing back in 6 years ago. It's quite a change for me. My hair was over halfway down my back. I had been growing it for Locks of Love, hoping to wait until summer. But a local salon was doing an event for Locks of Love for the whole month of February.

Sorry for the long break. Not much has changed around here. I'm still looking for a job, and Sans is doing well at his.We had a nice Christmas, we were actually able to make it out of the house that day and get all the way to Vancouver to spend it with my family. We had a little trouble making it through the neighborhoods, but we got there. We had so much snow – it lasted almost two weeks. Sans

I was asked by the admins on Diabetic Rockstar to write a review and was encouraged to post it on my blogs. So, here it is...I am Diabetic. I was left with little to no information on how to handle and treat my disease. First, I ate whatever I wanted. Then I ate a Low Carbohydrate diet. When none of these was really working for me, I consulted the internet. I subscribed to health blogs, I

Sans with his new toyAnd me with mine!I tried to wait until I had a job for an update, but that didn't work out. I am still unemployed. And losing hope. It's very discouraging to think you are more than qualified for a job, only to never even get a call back from anyone. It just makes me crazy and sad and disappointed.Anyway, moving on. So, I have been back to the most of my doctor's to check

A bit has been happening around here, lately.I have had several interviews and I am still waiting to hear back from all of them. But because it's been so long, I am in serious doubt that I have been considered for any of them. Except maybe The Banfield Pet Hospital. But that's only because the interview was only last week, and I am supposed to hear something by the end of the week. Even Best Buy

Yep, it's that time of year again! I have no pumpkin pictures this year, because we decided not to get one.But, we did dress up our little Mario. He looks very cute, and I took some pictures, but it's hard to get him to sit still for any period of time.He was jumping on my leg to get a cookie. He's so fast, you can barely see him!Daddy tries to hold his Peter Pan hat on.He actually liked having

We have been catching up on all of our doctor and dentist appointments. Sans went first. He is the picture of health, other than his slightly elevated cholesterol counts.I went in for a CT scan.

It was very inspiring to both of us, and gave us a lot of hope for our future!Today, we did a few things, we registered to vote at the local Obama HQ and I volunteered to work in the office! Only for a couple days, but I can only think of the networking opportunities. Not to mention helping form the

Well, we are getting there. Things are moving along slowly. Mostly because of the heat. I have been having some trouble sleeping and eating. But things are coming together. Our complex seems to be full of nice people, for the most part. There is a lot of gossip – mostly from our downstairs neighbor. She is a grandma who seems to be having at least 6 people living in her two bedroom apartment

We move. I am so sick of packing. And thinking about what we are going to do with all of our stuff.We had so much stuff to sell at our garage sale. I thought for sure we would make a bunch of money. We made around $200. And three trips to Goodwill to get rid of all that didn't sell. I suppose that's a good tax deduction. I really cleaned our place out, too. But it still looks like we didn't. :-)

Yep, we're packin'!We are officially moving! Our move in date is July 2. We can NOT wait! This place is getting worse and worse by the day, especially now that school has gotten out. We are going to be around a mile to San's work, so he can even walk. Not to mention almost all of the stores that we normally peruse will also be within walking distance. Not that I am a big walker, mind you, but

It's supposed to be good therapy and since I get so many questions, I can hash it out right here. Plus it helps me get memories back, too. I went to the doctor last Thursday to check on everything.

Thursday was Thanksgiving. Our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. So, we decided to do it at our house. Well, that and the family was mostly out of town. Mom came over and it was really fun. Mom made her wonderful stuffing, and my favorite broccoli casserole. Sans and I started up the turkey and I made cranberry chutney, cauliflower, and pumpkin cheesecake. Sans also made the riced potatoes,
