Bullets

I've been neglecting to blog lately because I feel like there is either nothing worthwhile to talk about or so much to talk about that I can't begin to put it into words.  So today I've decided to update life using bullet points.

  • This upcoming Saturday I'm having Thanksgiving with my in-laws
  • Thanksgiving day will be spent with my sister and her family this year as the rest of our family has other priorities
  • That same sister turns the big "4-0" on Black Friday..Happy Early Birthday Rachel!
  • My hometown highschool football team is playing in the semi-finals this upcoming weekend and if they win they will be competing in the state finals at Ford Field in Detroit the weekend of Thanksgiving.  I am planning on going so I'm praying they win this Saturday
  • This past weekend I attended a baby shower of one of my best friends.  I have mixed feelings about the day.  I've come to realize that my "best" friends are failing me...I don't know if we are growing apart, if we lack things in common or I've been naive in who I thought they were.  Either way, it hurts to know life is not the same as it used to be.
  • I've gained 13 lbs since my wedding in July and I'm having a terrible time getting motivated to lose it.  I hate the way I look, how my clothes fit, etc, but I can't seem to want to do anything about it.  And worse, the holidays are fast approaching which means lots of BIG meals and baked goods.
  • My step-son will be living with us full-time starting in December.  If you remember, he was supposed to move in with us before the new school year started, but my husbands ex-wife changed her mind at the last minute.  As of yesterday she has once again changed her mind...
  • I am so burned out on life...especially work.  I have never been so looking forward to some time off.  I will have a long weekend next week for Thanksgiving and hopefully 7-8 days off for Christmas. 
  • The time change sucks.  I hate that it is dark out before I even get home from work.
  • I'm so ready to decorate for Christmas.  I think we are going to begin bringing out the Christmas decor this weekend.
  • As I've stated before...I LOVE Christmas music!  A local radio station began playing it on Monday so I even listen while at work.
There you have it...my life in bullets!

I hear ya on gaining wedding weight. I only have a few work pants that truly fit anymore- thankfully I am working from home two days a week so I can wear sweatpants, but I REALLY need to something about it. THe fact that the holidays are upon us is NOT a good thing.

Yay for spending time with family. I wish we wish had family nearby to spend the holidays with. It's always a bit of a downer for me around the holidays... especially because J usually works on Christmas. Boo.

There are always rough patches in work/life/weight. Hang in there!! You'll get through it.

As far as friends go, I've found that there are peaks and valleys in relationships. Just when I think that all is lost in a friendship, I tend to be surprised. That being said, there are such things as forever-friends, and not every friend is a forever friend. If you are consistently the only one making an effort in a relationship, let it wane and see if they come back to you.
