Holy Cow, it's been a while!

Well, it's been over a month since I updated this thing! Looks like I've got some explaining to do!

Honestly, I just haven't felt like I have all that much to say. I'm in a book slump. I'm about 1/2 way through Obama's book, but I really need to dedicate the evenings to reading because this reading-a-serious-book-at-lunch thing isn't working.

So, I got a new car! Yay!! It's a 2008 black Honda Civic! It's my dream car! Ok, maybe not my "dream" car, but it's the car I've wanted since before I was 16. :) My Mother in Law says I should name it...and I've been fiddling with a few names in my head. I believe it's name just might be "Black Beauty" ha! So, I think I'm sticking with that. Though, I did notice yesterday that I have a slight ding in one of the doors...THANK YOU to whomever felt the need to hit my car with their car door! I hope Karma comes and bites you in the a$$ because I certainly don't know why you couldn't have been more careful! Yes, I'm a little upset-but I knew I would be the second I noticed any scratch or dent. But guys, I haven't even had the car a month yet and I've already got some jerk messing up my car! At least it's not too obvious. I've also entered the adult world by finding and getting my own car insurance (and renters insurance). I feel so grown up! :)

On another note, I'm totally kicking butt and taking names on my work out program, if you can even call it a "program". Yesterday, the hubby and I went on a distance run of 5 miles. Mid day. Hot, blazing sun. 80+ degree weather. Yeah. It was hard. But we made it and we have the sun burns and sore legs to prove it! I'm determined to add about 1/2 mile to a mile every other week. So, I'm losing weight-don't know how much. And I'm almost back into my "skinny" jeans, so that's a plus! I can do 30 man pushups! Hells yeah! We're also trying to get up early to go to our apartment's fitness center...though that hasn't happened in about a week. Which leads to me to:

My allergies. Good Lord, are they bad right now. My Zyrtec has completely stopped working on me. I'm stopped up all day and at night. When I tried to go bed last night (and pretty much every single night for 3 weeks), my nose closes up, my ears close up, and whenever I swallow my throat closes up for a few seconds. That's not normal, so I set up an appointment with an allergy specialist. Thing is, I can't get in until the first full week of April. Yeah, not cool. Don't know if I'll be able to make it. So I'm hoping that I qualify for allergy shots. If so, I'm also hoping my insurance covers it. I'm just sick of not being able to breathe and I'm sick of losing precious sleep at night because of these allergies.

As for other things, life is good. School job fairs start up in a few weeks. I'm counting down the days. And I'm very nervous. I sincerely hope I can find a job this year. I don't care where it takes me. I'll go just about anywhere to teach music. So cross your fingers for me on that. I need all the luck and help I can get.

Everything in the home life is good. My husband and I have a great relationship. It's just great that we both can say to each other on a daily basis how lucky we are to have one another. I guess you could say we're still in the honeymoon phase :) It's a nice feeling that I hope doesn't go away.
