another LONG awaited update

            I’ve been a bad updater again, I know. But not much has been going on w/ me over the past couple months so I didn’t wanna write a totally dull entry (so hopefully this entry won’t turn out boring lol!). Christmas & New Years came & went like they always do. I got a HORRIBLE cold a week or 2 before Christmas & it wasn’t completely gone till after New Years. I was so sick on Christmas that I didn’t even go to my cousins’ house w/ my family like we do every year.  I was feeling a bit better by New Years Eve, so Chris & I went to Bob & K’s house to hang out w/ them & Jim & Kalie. I got drunk of course, but nothing crazy.
 
            Work has been sucking a lot lately. We were taken over by another company so they’re making all these changes & they all BLOW. We went from a 37.5 hr work week to a 40 hr one, so I had to cut my lunch break hour in ½ (it was that or work ‘till 6:00 every day which I was NOT about to do). We have to punch in & out when we get in & go home & for lunch time, which is REALLY annoying. I’ve found ways around it, but it still blows chunks. Then there’s a phone answering schedule which I really hate, but can’t do anything about. So as soon as spring comes I am looking for a new job, that’s for sure.
 
            Things w/ Chris & I are going pretty well. He finally said the “L” word sometime in December. It was really sweet, he told me that he’s not good w/ expressing his emotions & then he told me he’s in love w/ me. Of course I told him I’m in love w/ him too, cuz I am. We’ve had a couple of stupid fights, but only 1 of them happened when we were both sober heh. He’s also been helping motivate me to eat better & exercise, which I vowed to do in ths new year. We go food shopping together every Monday night, it’s really cute.
 
            I joined Lucille Roberts (the womens’ gym) a few weeks ago b/c I knew I’d put on WAY too much weight since last summer. I ate & ate all December b/c I was in a funk cuz it was winter & ya’ll know how much I *HATE* winter. Then I finally realized I was getting way too big, even my “fat” jeans were too tight for me. When I finally weighed myself, I was 13 pounds heavier than I was at my heaviest weight ever, when I went on my very 1st diet 4 yrs ago. So I vowed to start eating better & exercising more, & I’ve lost 3 pounds so far (which is not a lot, but they say that slow is good). I’m also starting weight watchers points tomorrow, which should be interesting.
 
            I nixed my idea of writing an entry about sex b/c honestly I don’t think it would be that interesting. Chris & I usually have sex a few times a week & I don’t think it’s that great. And NO, I don’t think it’s cuz of Chris. I just don’t have much of a sex drive, I’ve never had much. Whether it’s my depression or the Paxil I’m on or whatever, I just usually don’t have any great desire to have sex. I do it b/c he wants to & he enjoys it (of course he doesn’t know that, I tell him it’s good for me too, cuz its not *bad*). Maybe once I lose some weight & feel better about my body that will help.
 
            I think that’s about all I have to say in this update. I hope that everyone enjoyed their holidays & try to stay warm (it finally got really cold here & it BITES)! ‘Till next time…
