I've had several people say "My life is boring...please blog."
So to that I say..... "Wow, Sister, get a life" {it was someone who is like a sister who said that, so I'm at liberty to say this.}
A few things I've been loving lately and a few things I've been not-so-loving lately...
Nay #1
Work has been CRAZY busy and it is making me sooooo tired all the time. I am booked every single day and sometimes two separate job in one day. I am needless to say, burnt out!
Yay #1
With all the busy days at work come a large paycheck! :)
Nay #2
Alex's work hours. Yes, I understand that this is nothing new, but the 2pm-12am (often 1-2am) just kills me. I work 8am-3pm, so we completely by pass ALL THE TIME. He is usually working weekends as well, so it just plain SUCKS!
Yay #2
Alex was OFF- Yes OFF Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday last week! He got to take some time off with 'birthday pay' because it's his birthday month. Of course he planned this time off to be the same weekend as the NFL Draft. It is HIS favorite three days a year when he gets to watch the draft and although it's not my FAVORITE three days it's pretty fun to watch. It's my third year watching the whole thing side-by-side with him. He is usually on-line 'researching' or texting and Facebooking friends during most of it while I am just sitting there. Haha.

I became a member of NW Nutrition on Fourth Plain! I now have a weightloss/wellness coach to keep my butt accountable. I joined on April 16. I went in on April 23rd, one Friday later and had already lost 1.6 pounds (I know that's not that much) and 2.5 inches! I am more concerned with inches, so in just 7 days I am happy with the results. They offer a bunch of meal replacement shakes and supplements, but I am not doing that. I am just making it to the gym 4-6 days a week to swim and cutting back portion sizes! I am going to weigh in every Friday at 4pm, so I am pretty excited!

My 4 month old laptop had a virus. The super expensive antivirus program that Best Buy nearly shoved down our throat when we bought the computer completely failed me. We took it in to get fixed and we were first quoted $300-400 to fix a $479 nearly new computer! Then they came down to $130. It was suppose to by there for 5-7 days and after 24 hours they said it was done and I called to go pick it up only to find that they did not even start it and just lied. Right away I just told them that I did not want them to touch it and I was taking it home. Ugh... We had a number of a guy that Alex's dad used to fix his computer, so we called. This guy comes to your house to fix your computer, so we called him. He came the next day and got rid of the virus, did stuff to speed it up, downloaded a better antivirus and introduced me to Google Chrome as web browser instead of Firefox and did this all in one hour and for ONLY $45!!!

Boo for the nays but more importantly, YAY for all the good stuff going on! I'm so happy to hear Alex had a good b-day and the computer is fixed. Plus good for you with the DIY deck and healthy eating plans. Hope you guys have so much fun in Dallas! <3
