Random Thoughts

So I realize that I haven't written much lately, just caught up in life, I suppose. Every time I sit down to write my thoughts are chaotic and unorganized.

So I bring you some Random Thoughts instead:

I need a break. Seriously. So DD and I are going to Heartland Spa next weekend to celebrate her good news and just chill out. Hopefully this will get me back on track with my weight loss and fitness/health goals.

So onto news:

DD got a job!!!! WOOHOO!!! I can't even say how much of a relief this is (and not just because I have been slipping her $500 here and there for the last year) She made the decision last year to leave her job as a personal assistant/receptionist in an Accounting Firm to persue something completely different. Last summer she started Esthetician School and just finished a few weeks ago. It has been a lean and stressful year for her. She really wanted to get into medical treatments and not just facials and waxing.

I'm happy to say she starts working for the American Laser Centers next Monday. Exactly what she wanted and making more than what she made before. Hazzah! She was the first of her class to be placed so that has her pretty psyched.


Why, oh why, does produce taste better from Whole Foods? Is it because you pay so much for it and tell yourself you better like it to get your money's worth? Is it really superior? Either way I spent an insane amount of money yesterday for two measly bags worth of food.......but the cantelope was pretty tasty let me tell you.


DD and her husband bought a new sectional for their living room and gave us her old leather sofa and loveseat (oh and an area rug for good measure). Does this mean I'm getting old now that my child is giving me her hand-me-downs???

Please don't answer that.


My niece is turning one next week. How is that even possible? This means that Mother has been gone for almost a year. No thoughts on that one.


Why am I such a wuss when it comes to refinancing the rental property? I know logically that I should to both finance some much needed rehab and to pay off some of my credit card debt. I have a degree in Accounting (albeit dusty) and know that it is a sound financial decision, but am dragging my heals anyway.


The SgtMaj turned 55 last week. How the hell did that happen? Am I now middle aged by association? Oh that's right, I'm middle aged all on my own, I forgot.


That's it, not much to report. Ciao all
