Well first, I really suck at updating this blog.  Guess it's cause I'm an old fashioned girl (ahem...NO comments!) and still write in a journal - yep, the PAPER kind!!  So this online blog gets the red headed stepchild treatment.  

Happy to say I am minus more than 150 lbs!!  Now the last few months on the scale have been very S L O W.  It's all good though because my clothing sizes are still moving down.  Never quite understood that phenomena but it's true for me.  I'm a bit nervous for my 1 year lab results as I have been feeling sluggish lately.  I take all my  vits regularly but ya never know.  And my doc is gonna bug me about taking out the gallbladder since I have "sludge" in there.  I'm just not wanting to do that.  Guess I have some little attachment to that useless bugger.  Something about permanently removing body parts just doesn't sit right with me.  I suppose if/when the sludge causes me a real gallbladder attack like I have heard about from others...I might feel different at that point. 

Now anywho...about this itch I have.  Over the past few months, I have this intense feeling that I want to change a bunch of things in my life.  Oh you know, like change my career, move across the country , backpack in Europe for vaca and all that.  The funny thing is...there is nothing particularly wrong with my current life!!  Sure, I'm NOT feeling the love for work like I used to but that's just cause the politics exhaust me.  But I'm smart enough to know that corporate politics are EVERYWHERE!!  So not sure what I'd be gaining exactly.  Although I *do* seem to thrive in the "fresh slate" environments that I can build up to whatever I want.  I'd miss my family (well some of them) terribly.  And it'd have to be somewhere that has 4 seasons cause I actually dig the Fall & Winter months!  So....do I scratch that itch?
