Pigging Out

I've adopted really bad eating habits since I've moved and I know I've gained weight. I think it's mainly because my sleeping schedule has flipped around again and I'm not moving enough to cover the calories I eat. Still, suppressing appetite wouldn't hurt either, I seem to be eating more than normal. On one hand it would be fun if this were because I was pregnant, but on the other I'm not sure that would be so great right at this moment. There never seems to be great timing for such a thing, but right now is a little less than ideal for us lol.

Never Too Old

When I was little my uncle had promised to teach me how to play the guitar. He never did and it's something that I've gone back and forth with over the years, but it was recently that I thought about it again. I started making friends with people who play and have a lot of interest in music and I started to think that it might be something fun to do as a hobby. I thought I might learn some easy songs for the guitar and go from there. I don't expect that I would be fantastic, but you never know until you try I guess.

Geeked Out

It's really interesting to compare the things I grew up with to what is present in my life today. Now that I'm living with a geek, things are incredibly more advanced than back then, even more than when I just moved out here period lol. It makes me laugh when I think about the TVs we used to have, with those rabbit ear indoor antennas. I remember trying to stand there, moving each one while trying to constantly check to ensure the picture was visible. Now we have HDMI and a plethora of other things. Sometimes they are more complicated than they are convenient but it all depends on who's working on it, and that's why I defer them to my BF lol.

Room Redo

My stepdaughter is seriously lacking in the home decorating/storage area. It was kind of sad when we moved in and she saw all of dd's things going in and up. Since I'm a girl, I'm used to decorating in every way possible for her, even to the colored storage items. We're working on getting the other one up to speed with her now but we have some differences in personal preference. I think the one area we are agreeing on is getting her a few good hickory furniture pieces so that we know they'll be sturdy and last a long time for her. Other than that I think the girls are all winning over Daddy, which we are perfectly okay with lol.

Stress, Again

Money is becoming an issue again, especially with the holidays coming up. I generally can't stand this time of year, but I'm thinking that I may be able to get a grip on things finally. I've got a few jobs lined up and things are looking pretty good. I'm thinking that the only issue is that I may not be able to keep up with the demand of the load I'll be carrying. I've done really well in past years, and have been able to keep going towards the goals I've set. However, this year I've added the cost of plane tickets for three people and another child to buy gifts for. I'm not sure how it's going to play out, but hopefully everything will be as smooth as possible.
