Random

I mentioned to Diana that on this day last year, I was leaving London after a 7 day trip there. She emails me back:


"I heard on the news today that a poll taken in London found that January 24 is the most depressing day of the year."

 

Odd huh?

Snow Dogs

We had a lil' blizzard this weekend. We got like 12-18 inches of snow. Its windy out so it's blowing the powdery stuff all around. Some drifts are higher than others.

I let my doggies out this morning and took some pics of them wading through it.

Things

I thought I owed y'all an update.

I'm down 6 lbs. so far!! Woo Hoo! Not bad right? I started on January 1. So it's like 2 lbs. a week which is a healthy way to do it : )

Work still sucks. I'm still bummed about the whole thing. Luckily I am well-liked and just got a kick-butt yearly review and a new job title. I was Communications Assistant, now I'm On-line Communications Coordinator. Nice huh?

You might find it funny though that I'm job-hunting. The title is nice but the pay and BS stay the same. In fact, this will be the second day in a row that my two co-horts are out and I have to hold down the fort all by myself!! My boss is going to be so ticked! He was yesterday and let me leave an hour early!

Yesterday I got a call from Conde' Nast, one of the largest magazine publishing companies around! I mailed them a resume like a week ago and I already got a call! The woman I spoke with is extremely nice and in fact, I have an interview next week! It is a receptionist position in the Human Resources dept. She said the benefits are excellent and that this is a great stepping stone and foot in the door. This would be a great company to work for. And there big beautiful office is right on 42nd Street! I pass it every day!

I'd feel bad leaving my boss and department in the lurch since I'm the best worker they got but I gotta do what's best for me.

You can check out their site at www.condenast.com and see all the big magazines they put out such as Vanity Fair, Allure, Glamour, GQ etc.........

Down

Well, I'm back from girls' weekend in Nashville and we had a really great time. Thank you Diana for showing us the sights and for being D.D.

I would love to be all excited and happy and able to elaborate, but I just can't right now I'm afraid.

To start, I lost 2 more lbs. This isn't necessarily good news. I lost it all since Monday and it's because I've had ZERO appettite.

I cannot go to deep into this or I'll make myself cry yet again. I've been crying several times a day.

My best friend at work, Matt was let go on Monday. I found out right before I got on the plane to come home. I had tears streaming down my cheeks for most of the flight.

He and I worked in the same little department since I've been here. I hate the other people I work with. They take advantage and never show up or they come in wicked late. They are dumb and cannot speak or write effectively.

I will never understand why this happened. I hope that Matt finds something better and more worthy of him. Until then I am miserable. Today is the first day without him. I have no friends here anymore. Our other friend Youssef (Yahoo) was laid off at the end of last year because his department was done away with.

I'm devastated. I don't want to be here anymore.

Back to Nash!

Goin' for another fun-filled weekend in Nashville THIS WEEKEND!

This time will be extra fun cause Kristine is coming with me! This will mark the first vaca we've ever taken together! It's about time since she will be getting married soon. *Sigh* I have so much prep to do for that.

Anyways...We will be staying with Diana (*Jersey Girl in Nashville) who will give us the grand tour again which she is so good at doing : )

I have to be good though because I'm low-carbin' and there's lots I can't have. No yummy pancakes at Cracker Barrel! I guess I'll have an omelette....ick, getting sick of eggs.

I also have to worry about the plane food so I'm bring some stuff with me. All and all this diet has been easy. It's just when 'special' things such as a weekend away come up, it can be difficult.

I know we will be goin to Demonbreun (street of bars, lol) Saturday. I was so planning on a few drinks but I really shouldn't. Ugh... We'll play it by ear I guess.

I'm down 2.5 lbs so far....woo hoo!

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.

*ps. Did you like the plug Di?

It's Working!

I already lost a pound!

Yesterday I went to Shop-rite and stocked up on low-carb/no-carb goodies! I got low-carb yogurt, cheese, sugar-free jello, light whipped cream, Atkins rye bread, and, Atkins ice-cream sandwiches!

Last night Jay and I went to Spanglish and I was craving chocolate so I got Carb Alternatives Hershey Kisses ~~ soooo good!!

I'm enjoying the diet foods I've been eating. The Atkins bread is especially good believe it or not. When I have it, I toast one slice with butter - scrumptious!

Dieting isn't so bad after all!
