It's been a long time, since I've posted. I have been busy with work and just living life (or trying). Yesterday, I finally finished a scarf that I had been working on for some time. I just didn't really dedicate much time to it, and it got left untouched for several months. I'm glad it is finished, so I can move on to something else.
Work is the same. Never better, always the same. I put my foot down and got an extra day off, so I could spend more time in Virginia. Now we get to stay for two days, instead of one.
I'm really getting screwed this year, since I have to work the weekends after the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Just when we had our holiday schedules arranged, they have to go and change things. Luckily, no airfare has been purchased. No more taking our holiday time the week before or after. We have to take it that week, and it can't be on our night scheduled to work. Well, hell! Tell me what I should wear and cook for dinner, why don't you! So I have no idea what it all means, I'm sure it will all be sorted out tomorrow.
Well, I must go and do my 4-mile walk as part of my training for my upcoming half-marathon.

Off For Veterans Day... Yay!
I'm always happy to have a day off!
I had originally planned for this to be a day of cleaning. Since I made some progress over the weekend, I decided that I could just have fun today. That is exactly what I plan on doing.
Jon and I are going to have lunch with a friend. Having lunch with friends is another favorite activity of mine.
In other news, I have decided to train for a half-marathon. I have to do some training for it, so I can't do the Baton Rouge Beach Half-Marathon. Luckily, there is one in New Orleans in February. It is one from the Rock n' Roll Marathon Series. I am so excited! Unfortunately, we are a little late signing up, so we will have to pay more of an entry fee.
Jon is a runner, I am not, so I plan on walking this half-marathon.

TGIF
I have Saturday and Sunday off! I will be so glad to not have to be at work.
I think that I will move on to organizing the bathroom this weekend. It will be nice to have two rooms organized. I will have the bedrooms, the living area, dining area, and closets left.
We get Veteran's Day off, so I will take advantage of the day off by getting something accomplished.
I am going to see my grandparents in a week. We are going to drive up on Friday and just visit. It is so much easier on all of us to do that than try staying over night.
We are meeting with our photographer to talk about the finalization of our wedding album this evening. We will hopefully also get our wedding images on DVD.
We are going to Virginia for Thanksgiving. We just decided to go this a few weeks ago. I was not allowed Tuesday or Saturday off, so we are going to drive to VA on Wedneday after Jon's class. We will spend Thanksgiving (Thursday), then drive back on Friday. Thanks a lot, job!
When Jon gets his Ph.D. and we move, I will be so glad. Then I can focus more on what is important; family and home life. I think I was meant to be a full-time homemaker.
We shall see...

First Yoga Class
I went to my first yoga class this morning. I really enjoyed it and plan to go back.
It is something to do on Tuesday mornings, since I don't feel like working out when I get home on Tuesday nights.
Tuesdays are my night to work, so I don't feel like doing much when I get home.

Facebook-free for 48 hours
Well, I fell off the wagon. I will make good use of the features and settings that are offered. We will see how that works.
Happy Halloween!
We carved pumpkins last night! I carved a witch/moon. Jon carved a ghost. He acidentally cut the wrong thing and ended up having to find another pumpkin. After going to 3 places, he found another pumpkin.
I roasted the seeds from the pumpkin, and they are so good!
Jon read Scary, Scary Halloween by Eve Bunting aloud. Then we watched some of the movie, Teen Wolf.
I am working today. I am wearing my tiger ears and my LSU hoodie. That's my "costume". I'm an LSU Tiger!
Jon and I had lunch at Rotollo's. It was so good!

Tuesday Morning Yoga
The BREC park on Jefferson Hwy. is offereing free yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-10. I have thought about doing this for some time, but have been busy with other things.
Now that I have an established exercise routine and continue to make progress with organizing the apartment, I think I may be ready to give this a try.
I could only go on Tuesdays, because that is my late day at work. I usually like to sleep a little later on Tuesdays, but I think I am going to get myself in the habit of getting up to go.
