So life is coming along. Things are busy at work but not crazy out of control. The finance committee meeting went VERY WELL. I always knew it would sort of be the make it or break it session and I've worked hard gearing up to it so I knew it would go well, but it went really, really well. Even with the hang ups and obstacles. Now I'm just tying up loose ends and preparing for the audit. After the audit I will work hard core on the budget then polishing up our GL and stuff for the new year and make sure everything is in order for Oct. Once that's done, it will be Thanksgiving - just in time for a nice break. Then we will hit the holiday season but life will be much simpler.

I love my job at Treehouse. With the fiscal year ending I'm reminded of my life at TSA and specifically last year when all the drama started and remember how unhappy I was. Life at TH is wonderful and I'm appreciated here and my work is recognized and I have a chance to really make a difference. I love that. I'm learning a lot too and you wouldn't believe how much better I've gotten at handling situations - even stressful ones, though I'm still not an ace. So just now the Executive Director came in to my office to congratulate me on the finance committee meeting yesterday. She gave tons of kudos and says she's really happy, proud of me, then she thanked me for everything I've done. I'm BEAMING right now. YAY!!!

The statistics class I was in is finally over and I'm on hiatus from school. I'm happy to be done with that and on a break. It's giving me time to focus on getting in to an exercise routine that works for me. I've started personal training and my trainer, Quinn, is great but she's serious about this. She' going to be monitoring my food and exercise and she expects me to stick with it. She's allowed me one cheat day a week. She worked up my diet plan based on what I already eat (including my fast food options like Wendy's baked potatoe and salad and Subway's veggie delight). She's not happy with the lack of protein I get in my diet. Anyway - she's totally working with my lifestyle and not instructing me to do things I'll never do (like cook). I'll see her on Tues and Thurs for the next 3 months. I'm really excited about this and think this will be perfect to help me develop a routine and lifestyle habits that work. I've been changing up my habits little by little over the years and feel like I'm in the homestretch to a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

I changed my hair - it's more blond and I cut the hair around the side of my face to give it structure. It's cute.




Things are going okay w/ Dane. I'm mad at him right now. He plays WOW and I get that it's stress relief for him and sometimes there are events and missions and whatever but I expect to trump WOW. The other night I had a really rough night and I even had the opportunity to go hang out w/ a girlfriend but I really just wanted a hug and comfort from my Mr. Man and he got all huffy with me and told me he couln't possibly ditch TEN PEOPLE that NEEDED him to complete the mission. And he TOLD me about this event. Whatever. He did tell me about it but it's not like I planned to have a bad day and need him. I was really disappointed that he would ignore me like that and continue on with his game. Instead I went to dinner by myself. I came home and cleaned then went to bed. I've been talking to him and stuff, cause I have to, but I'm still really upset by this episode. I've talked to him before about it and he knows that it hurts me yet he continues to do it. I'm not sure why he thinks it's okay to keep doing this to me and I'm not sure how to express how upset it makes me. It's like whenever I talk to him about it he says he's sorry and I'm right but then goes right back to doing the same thing! I don't expect him to not play games and even encourage him to do when I'm busy with school. But I'm on break right now and only had 2 nights this week to spend with him. Both nights he spent on the computer. Whatever. I'm not sure what I'll do about this, if I'll even do anything for now. Mostly I'm just hurt. I really wanted him and he let me down. :-(

I need to get to work for now but I will blog more now that life has calmed down. Maybe I'll get back to the wedding someday, I know I need to because I will regret it later if I don't, but for now I'll just keep up to speed with daily life because I really do love my blog.
