Updates on what all is going on

Update on yesterday: today was definatly better (about the phone calls). I think I just was freaking out. I don't know why I get like that sometimes. I know everybody does. It's to the point where everything and anything can trigger a bad mood. And I also realized that I checked my missed calls from the week where H left a voice mail...it was more that 7!!! So......maybe I'm not being cool.

Update on extra income ideas: Tori and I walk everyday. Today we were talking about part time jobs and was tossing the idea around about teaching some cheernastics classes. I did that for years while I was in college and loved every minute of it. Except this time....we would be doing it on our own. This would mean a lot of things...taxes, equipments (a few mats...still about $800), possibly renting out a place or having to pay a percentage, insuarnce (would we have to pay or would we be covered by the business we are teaching at), prices, schedules, potential, etc etc etc! Who knows! I think it would be fun.

Update on Real Estate License: I really want it. Bad. However, it is just a little too risky right now in my life. I think that it would be something I could embrace if I had a hubby with a steady income or something like that. To make any type of deacent money doing real estate...you pretty much have to go in full-time. Plus, money actually has to be paid for a lot of things (advertising primarily). This is a bummer. If I just knew I could count on a salary of X amount and the rest commission - i would take a stab. Unfortuantly, I don't have a lot of room for risk. I think I am going to put the idea on hold. boo.

Update on Personal Trainer License: I think this is DEFINATLY feasable. How much fun would that be??? A ton. This is something that I could work at after work hours - and with experience earn $25-$30 an hour. And yes, I think Hoover is a place where I could earn that much. I could just go in after work and see what I could do. Still a lot of work to build clients though - but at worst I just wouldn't make any money. I wouldn't be going backwards like real estate.

Update on money: I just received my last quarterly bonus. They have taken that opportunity away at work (significant income). I am glad that we got it...but sad that we will not receive it each quarter. My only hope is that we will get a year end bonus equivilant or at least close. That hurt, took a chunk, and a dent in my financial ability right now. Its just frusterating being at a company at the time you are supposed to make some type of increase (even a little) not a decrease. This is happening to a lot of people though right now - I tell you it is not fun in the least.

Update on H: He is going to be moving into an apartment within the next 2 weeks. We are going to need to talk about spending time together during the week. It will be hard, but in a lot of ways I feel totally necessary. The weekend highs just can't be reality forever. We shall see. I'm excited really excited.

Update on diet: Not 100% sticking to a solid plan. I am just trying to incorporate more fruits and veggies, watch my portions, etc. Also walking 3 times a week. I am currently staying at the same weight - so that is good!

Update on health: I have warts that are growing around my fingernails! It is terrible! They hurt and they keep getting worse. I have now been to the dermatologist 4 times! I am getting shots (ouch) which are supposed to get rid of them, but it is not helping at all. The doc and I decided that yesterday was the last attempt as it will never work. Next shot will be FREEZING them.

I got these from biging my fingernails. They are very common in kids who bite the nail. It is so swollen because of the shots. AND the creams don't work either. I just thank god that the doc did not charge me anything for the last 2 visits! Yay! Oh, and he's cute - so that doesn't hurt a thing! If your chillin's bite their nails tell them to stop!

I'm glad it's about to be hump day! Yes!
