Promotion

I finally got offered that job in installation I was interviewing for. I start in July, but not after having to train a successor and tying up any loose ends.

I'm glad to make the shift since I've long since lost my zest for coming into work everyday. Plus, I figure that with all the other life changes on the docket that I can easily take on one more in stride. I'm going to be a married woman; it's time I start taking more control over my future. And it never hurts to pocket some extra dough that comes with a raise.

I opened a CD this past weekend at my local bank. I figure that I should try to make at least a little more interest on my savings since I'm inevitably planning to spend it for a very specific occasion at a very specific time and I have a little time to play around with.

I also went to the Cape with Trevor. His best childhood friend Tyler was up for the weekend at the Cape and was throwing a party that he invited us to. Ty's a really good guy; I don't say that just because he's very dear to Trevor. He reminds me of someone but I can't quite put my finger on who that could be. I didn't really know many people at the party, but everyone was very nice. Our Caramel Apple mix drinks were a big hit.

I'm glad to be home though. I'd prefer home-bed over Cape-bed any day. Plus I always feel like I have a ton of chores to do at home when I'm not there. (sigh) It's going to be a long week; I have a lot of stuff to do at work before I'm done.

The Jury is out

So Jury duty was a very long day. They didn't pick me so luckily I had some time on my hands to get some random grocery shopping done. The major Asian grocery store I'm familiar with is unfortunately a bit of a hike from my home so I rarely go but since I was already in Hartford it was very close. Where else can you get a gallon sized jug of my favorite Chinese Soy Sauce and and aisles of difficult to read food labels? In any case we looked at 3 houses this week. The ones in Manchester were...ugh...dumps. The Windsor house though was lovely...and of course the most expensive. But on the bright side it's in a very cute area and while there's not a lot of land the house is very large and seemingly well kept up. We've seen a lot of really disgusting houses. I can't begin to express how unkempt people allow their houses to become. So if all goes according to plan we'll have a house by the time the wedding rolls around. And yes I am aware that sounds li...

Overworked

I'm a lazy lazy lady. To be honest I'm too burned out from work to do anything, even motivate myself to make dinner more than 3 nights a week. For me that's a big deal and I'm already feeling guilty about not putting more nutritious homemade fare on my table. You can't be Superwoman, after all. In semi-wedding news, I received a Save The Date magnet in the mail from my pal Jenny's mom. :) I think that's a very cute idea, and Trevor ever so briefly also wanted magnets but has seemingly forgotten all about that. I personally don't care all that much because it's not a necessity of wedding planning. I think it's a lovely idea, but I'm not organized enough right now to get that all done, buy stamps, get addresses to send them out to...etc. I love my mom but she's only good for pointing out everything she doesn't agree with, which in certain situations is helpful, but not for this. I love her, but my mom is...unique. I think a lot ...

It's a work on progress

Holidays? Good. I don't have much to say about it because it was nice. Non-dramatic. No burned turkey. Turkey day with my husband's family. I love them, they're so cute. Day after with my family. Lots of deboned turkey stuffed with duck was consumed. I guess my mom was moved to make one after hearing about Devin's Turduckhen. I worked Friday because I was not fast enough on the draw to ask for it off and my coworkers were. Not like anyone called or emailed or anything. So it was a pretty good day to catch up and work on stuff I'd been having difficulty with. I did go to HRD's Hair Cut-a-thon because they had a deal where they were donating food to the Windsor Food Bank. If you brought in 6 items you could get a wash, cut and blow dry for $10. Of course I brought in way more than 6 items, but that's mostly in part to my love for food drives. I know there are people worse off than me and my husband is annoyingly negative and will stand on his high ...
