i'm back...

well... i've been back for a while... just been busy...

England was good... it was relaxing. Chris had to work everyday, so we didn't get a chance to go anywhere super cool. Not that that's a bad thing... I enjoyed having a vacation where when i returned home I didn't need another vacation. But I did get to see what it would be like for me to be there without a job... and it wasn't a pretty picture. By day 2 I had cleaned chris's place from top to bottom... it was spotless... I had also walked around cambridge as much as i wanted to, and did all the shopping i cared to do. So yeah... definitely need a job to keep me occupied. But it was nice feeling like i was useful... I know Chris had been so busy that he wasn't able to keep up with the housework, so it felt good to do what i could to help out.

The weekend after i got back, i visited my family in SWVA. It was good to see them all again. Both of my brothers have jobs now, and seem to like them. Anyway, i put together easter baskets for all of us, and mom hid eggs... it was good times. I ate waaay too many jelly beans... hehe. I also got to meet my dad's new girlfriend. Well, i guess she's not new, they've been dating for around 6 months. She seems nice enough, and treated my grandma very well... so i like her.

And this last week, we started a mileage challenge at work. I got in 18 miles last week! The winner had 21.2... so i wasn't far behind. This week, i'm determined to win. I've moved my treadmill up to the main level of the house, and my TV out of my bedroom down to the main level as well (for a week i was lugging my TV up and down the stairs, which may seem like a good workout, but it got old). I also had my last hurrah with mcdonalds tonight. Tomorrow i start anew with WW. I have 5 months till my final fitting on my wedding dress, and i'm determined it's going to fit better than the day i bought it. so... go me!
