Well Jill is in the hospital again. I feel bad because I have been very moody lately. Itsjust very difficult. I know she feels like she isn't doing anything but she does more than she thinks. Sometimes I feel like I am not doing anything right around the house. Ok...so I like piles and they are sometimes all over the place...well most of the time all over the place. I just feel like I don't have enough space and that I don't have space that is mine. She is always worried that her mom is going to have a comment to say and then I get the backlash from that. Living in a roommate situation is so difficult. I enjoy living with Jill, plus I am not sure how many people would put up with me for this long. Anyways, maybe we both just need a little break. I am looking to meet some more people up here. I still don't have any friends that I hang out with besides Jill. The people I work with I haven't done anything with. I am not too good at this meeting new people thing. Match.com doesn't really seem to be working for me. I don't know may be there is something with me that I need to work on and thats why I can't seem to meet anybody. Weight loss is going ok....this past week and this week has been rough. I have been stressed and when that happens I eat. However I don't have much money (none) so I am sure that I will lose a couple of pounds. Unfortunately, I have learned my mother's ways in budgeting and am terrible at it. It makes living stress-free difficult. Living paycheck to paycheck is not fun...I am almost 30....I should be doing better than this. Hopefully I can get on track. Needless to say worrying about money doesn't help the anxiety situation....it actually has increased my anxiety attacks. Not a good thing. I hope that Jill feels better....I worry about her...Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Until later.......

This was the scene when I took Scooter out on Tuesday of this week. It was very pretty.

This basket is full of our winter wear - gloves, scarves and hats. Scooter has adopted it as a sleep place. I suppose it is warm and comfortable for him.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!! I want to wish everyone a happy turkey day. We all have a lot to be thankful for. I am thankful that I am actually losing some weight. I have been on weight watchers for 2 weeks and I have lost 6 pounds!!!!!! This makes me very happy. I am working towards my goal weight but I am doing this slowly. I have changed my mindset to just stay on track and not really look at the pounds I lose. I know that I can do this and I will succeed. This is my first Thanksgiving away from my family and it is a little weird. But Thanksgiving hasn't really been the same with my family for a while. Times change and with that so do the traditions. I decided at the beginning of this year that I was going to creat new traditions and I am trying to do this. Today is Scooter's 1st birthday. He received a Christmas collar from Detroit Joe and Auntie Jilly. He was so excited. I will post a picture of us later today. Until later.....

Ok. So it has been a long, long time since I have posted any blogs. I have been crazy busy. I have had so much going on in my life. I went to Nashville for the Association for Play Therapy conference. It was good. I also started teaching an undergraduate course this week. I am loving every second of it. Scooter has to have surgery. I guess he had a broken bone in his hind leg and I didn't know. Well now he is limping, so he is having surgery November14th.

Last Saturday, it snowed here. :) Nothing major, but it was so pretty. Now it has warmed up a little bit. The dog is not too sure about the snow. But I am sure he will be playing in it soon enough.

Ok. So I have been having a ton of wierd dreams. Especially dreams about my ex-boyfriends. So, knowing you can virtually any type of information on the web, I set out to do some searches. And to my surprise, he is married. My heart sunk into my stomach. I mean I know it is for the better. I guess I just want to know when it is going to be my turn. Everyone tells you to stop looking and that when the time is right it will happen. However, I am starting to wonder if it will ever happen.

Anyways...I will write some more later.
