The Blonde Diaries

I’m so excited that the trailer is finally out. The movie looks so good. Much better than New Moon but then again I am not on Team Jacob.

Why, why must it be so darn hard to find things? So I’ve talked before about how I still owe Mike a birthday present from last July (apparently getting married 2 days before and spending his birthday in Venice wasn’t enough). Well, I’m still looking for the darn thing. All he wants is this thing that is basically a shade that goes in the back of his SUV and you can pull it across and make a “trunk”. We have tried looking at the local truck accessories stores and we have even called the dealership. No one knows what we are talking about. It seems odd. We know they exist because we’ve seen them in other SUVs and we even see the grooves in his cargo area to fit this cover but we just can’t find it. Sigh.

I have my fingers crossed so tight that they are going to turn purple soon. Figuratively that is. I have been talking about looking for a new job for over a year now and I took my first step this past Monday by meeting a local recruiter and handing over my resume. It has only been 2 days but he’s come back with 3 job possibilities already and one sounds great. I am trying not to get too sold on it right now because he’s only just passed my resume to them and they might not like me or I might go to the interview and find out the job isn’t what it seemed. But so far it is exactly what I am looking for and it is a dual role position where I can broaden my experience and start dabbling in a different job area. Basically, it opens up yet another door for later on in my work life. Plus the pay is fan-freaking-tastic. So if you could cross your fingers with me and send some good job vibes my way I’d love you forever!

No more…

I’ve written a few times in the past about my job.  I am a financial statement auditor and I just finished my 5th busy season as an auditor.  I never thought I’d make it this far.  It has taken a lot of blood, sweat, and tears so to speak to get here.  With that said, it has also led to a 30 pound weight gain over those 5 years.  I stepped on my Wii Fit that I drug out of hibernation last night and I was greeted with a message telling me it had been over 200 days since I last used the Wii Fit program and in that time I’d gained 15.5 pounds.  Talk about a shocker!

Losing weight use to be fairly easy for me.  I’d just cut my calories and go to the gym.  I was also in college with quite a bit more time and less stress.  Now I barely make it home at a decent hour where I can cook and go to the gym.  It is quite frustrating and I need to find a more streamlined method.

Tonight, I did find a new website, www.wellnessdaily.com, that I believe will be beneficial to me and to any of my readers who are looking for some motivation.  This website includes healthy living blogs, quick and easy recipes, and videos on topics such as weight loss and exercising.   Quick and easy recipes are right up my alley especially if they are healthy and can help me cut my calories and cravings.  I am also excited about videos on exercising.  I am so tired of just riding an exercise bike or using the elliptical at the gym.  Though I am reading my books, it gets dull and boring.  I would love to be able to incorporate some new exercises into my routine.  I thing the videos will be able to help me do that without injuring myself.

This website is 100% free to join and you have access to all of the information.  If you sign up soon, you can download a rebate from from Jennie-O for $5 off your next turkey product.  I love ground turkey so I am going to search for a recipe that I can make in the crockpot with ground turkey and then send in my UPC for my $5 off.
