Thread: The Happy Thread!

    The Happy Thread!

    I am so super excited! I just purchased my ticket to go see my all time favorite movie Gone With The Wind on the BIG SCREEN!!!! This movies means a lot to me. It was my grandmother's favorite. Her and I would watch it all the time and to this day I can never get tired of it. I literally can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it. My grandmother would tell me that when it first came out to theaters, she went to see it and she would snicker and giggle at all the people that would leave the theater at intermission because they thought that that was the end of the movie. I see this as an opportunity to experience it just like my grandmother did. I miss her every day and I am so so SO very excited to have this opportunity!

    Thank you! I am going to bring a small thing of tissues with me as I just know I'm going to be teary eyed for multiple reasons. I'd like to think that she will be with me in spirit when I go.

    As of yesterday, I am now an auntie to a beautiful baby boy! (Alexander or as we call him, Zander) It was a scary process, my sister had to go into her C-section early because the baby's heart-rate was so high and then he was born not breathing. It took a while to get his heartrate back to normal because it would fluctuate soooo much. We thought he was going to be in nicu for a week. Thankfully he hasn't had any problems in the past 24 hours and is looking so much better. I'm super excited. It's only my sister and I so this is the first baby in the family in a while and my first time as an aunt.

    I'm possibly getting my grandfathers violin, mom seems a little wary, she doesn't think I'll actually stick to it. Ah well.. I have been keeping A's and B's in school, so that's good. I'm working on my fitness, and have been eating like 85% primal for a week or two at least, and my skin has cleared up amazingly. My hair color hasn't faded, since I put bits of blue and purple in, thank you shampoo that wasn't crap. It was actually cheaper than the one I was looking at, and gives you more. Pretty awesome imo. I also adore goat milk soap. In my gym class, that's my guaranteed 100% since it's just for wearing gym clothes and doing something. I can do 40 pacers, which is saying something since I have slight asthma, and its colder in there than I like, so my eyes start stinging if I run, and my throat hurts. I could only do 25 in Freshman year, so I set a goal to increase by 5 each week, then 10 after 2 or 4 weeks. I don't know, it just makes me happy.

    I just opened a savings account to start saving for a tail! It may take me more than a year but it's worth it. I will have the time to working on losing weight and getting into better shape in the mean time. I'll be putting every "Sold Out" bonus into the account plus at least $50 a month and a good portion of my Tax Return in there too. I'll also be making & selling homemade hats/scarves/ear warmers for the winter months. Yes I'll have to spend a little money to buy the yarn but I have some yarn already that I can just repurpose...my cousin doesn't need a blanket really and I don't need another wrap.

    Words of encouragement are greatly appreciated...I have a bad habit about getting low about something and giving up on it.

    A workout buddy would be awesome too. Just walking is enough to shed the pounds as slowly as I put them on giving my body time to adjust....private message me if you're in the Dallas area around GB/DNT. I can walk from 7:30am to 11am or from 6pm to 8pm Monday thru Thursday and I'm off Friday thru Sunday so I'm available anytime those days.

    Good job! I am rooting for you! I hope to open up a tail savings account myself pretty soon. I am in the process of getting into a new apartment and paying off debts, but after that I will be stashing money away. I am getting a starter tail from Fin Fun in October though, after I get my family situated.

    I would totally work out with you but I am in Corpus Christi now. I was living in the Fort Worth area about 2 months ago.. but had to move suddenly due to life issues. I am working out here on my own so that I can get my body back but I wish I had a running buddy! (I had a little mer-baby at the end of June and need to lose this baby weight)

    I know what you mean about giving up on things.. I am trying my best not to get down on myself because it is easy for me to get discouraged too. Just some words of advice; in order to hold yourself accountable... tell people about your goals! I see that you are already doing that by posting here, but a good way to keep yourself in check is to keep a checklist, blog, weight journal etc. I am doing these things and find that I am doing well so far. Good luck!

    Thanks for the encouragement Corabelle!! Congrats on your mer-baby. I hope your move down south is a good one. Spend some time on the beach for me...been years since I stepped in the ocean.

    I have a FinFun monofin and made my tail to go with since they don't male plus size tails. Love my tail and fin so much I'm making another spandex tail and making a monofin from scratch.

    I'm keeping track of my workouts on my phone & in a journal.

    Best of luck to you!

    So I've been freaking out all week because I quit my job a little while ago with no other jobs lined up (stupid, stupid me) and was terrified I wasn't going to be able to afford my rent and bills this month...

    Today I remembered that my monthly service fees ($12) were going to be charged out of my bank account and went online to check how deeply in the red I was going to bed, and my balance was suddenly not the -5 I thought it was gonna be, but four hundred and seventy-five fucking dollars.

    Totally forgot that I had unused vacation pay at my job, which got cashed out and dumped in my account this morning.

    So now September's rent will be paid off, and August's house bills will be paid, which is a major relief! My boyfriend's going to cover my phone bill this month ($45) and pay for all the groceries, bless his fabulous bearded face. That gives me another month (a little more, actually) to put towards job-hunting.

    I am gonna sleep so fucking well tonight, haha. *w* So much stress off my shoulders!

    Best of luck to both of you on your goals! AmbrGlow, do you have an Etsy shop for these snuggly-sounding goods you plan to make?

    I spent the whole day helping my sister, brother-in-law, and a mutual friend move into their new apartment! We got a late start, but we had half the boxes done by the time I left, everybody's beds were assembled, all the place needed was some furniture-hockey and the rest of the boxes emptied. It was a good day's work by everyone. ^_^

    Tomorrow's my birthday! My boyfriend came to see me because I'm sick and he wanted to check up on me. He brought my birthday gift.
    I am so spoiled. Blue topaz with a diamond set in white gold.

    My happy note for the day...

    I just went to JoAnn's expecting to pay about $50 after taxes for 4 yards of 118" Muslin...regularly $12.99/yd online said it was 25% off. I got to the store and I was afraid there wasn't enough on the bolt for my needs but there was enough plus 0.625 yards. I got the 4yds I need...wasn't on sale so it was just over $51 before taxes...plus the bolt end of 0.625. The bolt end was at half price but because it was ONE cut of fabric it and half price for a bolt end is regularly priced at half off I was able to use my 50% one regular priced item. This made my total after taxes on 4.625 yards of Premium muslin only $32 and some change!

    I'm so excited. Today and tomorrow my mom is gonna do some mock ups for the backdrop she's gonna paint for me to use in mermaid photos with kids at parties, festivals & events. This weekend...probably Sunday...we'll go to Home Depot to buy the PVC pipe & pieces we need to make the stand for it.

    I'm über excited!!!

    I recently went back to school to become a Pharmacy Technician. I'm in my third week of my first semester of my Pharm Tech education, and I've already been asked by a Pharmacy Technician at the pharmacy I go to to apply for a trainee job there. This is such a huge turn-around from all my past job history! I've spent all of my working years so far struggling to get jobs even though I work my ass off, and now people are poaching me to work for them? Wow, it's so weird!

    I'm heading off to a larp soon, a weekend of pretending to be a thief and gang member who has the house always wins attitude to games. One of the key groups in keeping the plot going

    Vixy: That is so cool! Like being inside a movie! (And I don't mean like behind-the-scenes/making-of)

    Have fun!
