Things going on:
...17 yr. old getting his wisdom teeth cut out. By an oral surgeon. Our cost? $574. Paid in full the day of surgery...which was supposed to be today...but wasn't cuz I didn't have that much money. His dad gets paid tomorrow so we will be broke for the next 2 weeks. But he will be out of pain, so there's no $$$$ amount on that, right?
...I got a job! It's only at the local video store, but HEY! I got a job!!! and I will be making my own money!!! WOOHOO!!! I told them I will work ANY hours available.....bring it on baby.
...basketball has started for said 17 yr old. and he has a girlfriend now. oh boy. I love football, but I really enjoy basketball. 2 games a week can be rough but I like that I don't have to sit out in the weather! cuz the weather sucks in Ohio, as we all know. I hope to get some really good shots of some basketball games and bring in even more $$$$ with my photography.
...I miss San Diego. Terribly. the sun, the public transportation, Coronado Island, the beach, the Navy Seals patrolling the waters, the trolley, The Dublin and a Stella, the mojitos, my friends there. I miss it all and want to go back really bad.
...I miss having My Girls around me. I realized that I have few friends that are close by. I have Tracey, my football mom, but other than that....????? I miss Bina, Nancy, Mary, Glo. These women mean the world to me and have given me such wonderful advice and unconditional love over the years. I need to be near them, to hang out with them, to vent with them, to laugh with them, to cry with them, to eat with them!!! I miss My Girls.
...and I miss My Rae. With me working now, I don't think we will be traveling to see her for Thanksgiving and that makes me very very sad. We HAVE to go see "New Moon"!!!! I miss My girl so much.
...I'm down about 22 pounds now, and I've found that I actually like walking. If I don't walk every day, I get very antsy.....I get stressed out and feel like I HAVE to get out there and walk, regardless of the weather. I haven't done any yoga or pilates since I left for San Diego but I did do a butt load of walking while I was there. I walked that whole damn city!!!
...I think this might be the last winter for my Trooper. he's getting so old....Maddie too. And that makes me so sad. But they have had a great fantastic life, so that's all good.
...I'm finding that my happiness is important to me. The more I get "out" the more I see that my life has been missing so much over these past years. I've been shut off from people and friends, and it's so good to be getting out and meeting people, making new friends and reconnecting with old ones. My life is getting so much richer for it.
...I'm totally addicted to Facebook. There, I said it. I'm an addict. It's just so EASY...you just write a little blurb, you read your friends little blurbs and you go on about your day. No big long blog posts to write/read. But it IS still time consuming!!!
...there is alot and I mean A LOT of stress in my life right now..lots of changes going on, but I'm looking forward to whatever the future will bring my way.

Good for you!!! yes and bring on the basketball ! Coarse my boy is playing basket ball...I'm loving it!!! He he ditched the girlfriend...I can rest a little for now...ahhh these darn kids...why do they have to grow up?
Sounds like it is all mostly very good, maybe not the stress, but if it is going somewhere good, well then....the wisdom teeth suck though. Hope that isn't too bad.

22 pounds! wow impressive, keep being healthy and living life. loved your pics of SD
Girl, it makes me sad too that Maddie is getting old also!!!
OK, the stress is hard, but you sound SO GOOD. Like really clear and confident and happy. So there's definitely some good stuff going on there!!! (And OMG, you SO better flirt with all the cute guys who come into the video store!!! What great stories!)
kudos to you for the new job.
hope the wisdom tooth recovery goes well.
Yes, I know about the $$ to the dentist. Gage had to have 3 fillings & sealants under anesthesia a while back. Wasn't fun paying for that. And I was totally shocked that those are the payments AFTER insurance! WTF???
Poor Maddie! I'm going to miss taking her to Excellent Dumpling House for Borbequed Pork Buns....
but we have to prepare ourselves... she IS getting old!
Oh, wait!!! You were talking about your pet..... never mind!
I like your new banner. We've got to do this wisdom teeth thing too. I'm holding off b/c I had $$$ work done at the dentist.
Hang in there! Love ya!
Impressive to lose 22 lbs. - that's my wife's goal too. You have to share your secrets. It sounds like it would make for a good story.
Beth, the job and the weight loss are fantastic. I can't believe you were so close and I didn't even know! Booohoooohoooooo! Well that's what I get for living under a rock.
I'm off to face-stalk you now!
