It has literally been over a year now since I have posted.
S much has changed, so much is the same. Instead of posting a huge list of everything that has right and terribly wrong in the last year I will slowly trickle out the information.
Why return to blogging today? I am bored. I am frustrated. I am in a mood. I am lonely. I miss Massachusetts I think. I don't even know what it is. I wish it would rain.
As you can see this mood is all about me and I am not happy today.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.

There's life Jim but not as we know it...
Today I actually dragged my ass to the gym. I think the impending idea of putting on a dress has motivated me to get going. Either that or that fact that I have gone up a size. Anyway, I am trying to get the poundage back down just 10 lbs. It has not been easy, I think my new job is bringing me down so I tend to eat more now. Plus the food in the house is so yummy and rich that I am just packing on weight.
I have seen a few episodes of the show HEAVY and it really drives home the fact that weight is just something that can so easily get out of control. Not that I think my issue is that extreme. I just feel so badly for the people and root for them to get healthy. Yet realize that sitting my ass on the couch is the perfect way to get in trouble.
I try to complain on this blog and leave you more with my witty musings but man I need to find a new job. I need freedom on weekends, spending cash, sleep!
Well without having told you anything about what's going on I have told you a lot.

Adventurous Eating
One awesome thing about my job is the food I am being exposed to.
Being a wanna be foodie I am well aware of the different varieties of cuisine and many different cooking techniques there are.
My new employer is a chef with the kitchen and pantry (gadgets too) of any professional chef. One of my favorite past-times is wandering up and down the pantry (which is bigger than my kitchen) looking at all the gadgets and tools.
I love recognizing what they are and actually knowing what they do.
So far I have been treated to Mashed Potatoes with shaved White Truffles ...(look up those suckers)
and Iberico de Bellota which is a wild acorn fed black pig. Basically the Kobe of Pork.
So tasty.

New Year New Home New State New Job
Well since I have last posted pretty much everything in my life but Christopher has changed.
I am now living in PA in a townhouse with Chris.
New job. Older girls.
No friends. I think that is what I am dwelling on this week. I really have a better understanding of what my friend was talking about when she married and moved farther north. She felt like she had lost all her friends. I get it.
I feel it. I think I am wrestling with the fact that maybe I was not so important in peoples lives as I thought I was.
No, I am not depressed but yes I have the amazing ability of over analyzing. I think I am just hurt.
For example I got an email requesting photos for a friend to use on their holiday card. So Chris and I spent about an hour all told getting the pictures there. And did we even get a card from that person, NO. WTF.
I am sure it was an oversight but an already sensitive person like myself is gonna take that and run.
But if I think about it I suppose it goes both ways. I need to keep in better contact as well.
I am just having a pity party today.
Sigh.
Next post will be brighter and cheerier I promise.

At Long Last...
Well really I have been horrible about posting. I feel like life is zooming by and I am hanging on for the ride.
The past few months have been both wonderful and horrible. But, I suppose that is how life is.
I will post a few pictures from the past couple of months.

26 Hours
I am so flipping excited to go home and be with Chris. SO EXCITED
I will not even let the fact that Black Berry Messenger has been down all day dampen my spirits.
Moved my train time up, so I am there earlier.
Kris and Jay roll through on Sat.
Family time Sunday
I love this.
Schmoop has been in bed for an hour singing his own version of Jingle Bells...which somehow includes I miss my daddy.
And I just discovered with the help of the nice lady on the phone that I spend exactly 96% of my work day playing.
Merry Holidays everyone.

Long Over-Due Update...
Heres what's going on in my neck of the woods...
Well you know Chris and I moved in together. It has been a interesting transition since I haven't been back to PA since the move. I have been in MA getting used to the new apartment in Dover. It is a great little place but I really miss seeing Chris. I am looking forward to when we don't have be apart anymore. Although it means leaving my job which to me is heart wrenching. I love the babies and I know I will see them still but it wont be the same.
Christmas time is upon us and I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to do the visiting. I am planning on being in PA Wed-Sat then going to Upstate Sat-Monday then back to work on Tuesday. I need to figure out how to get back to Boston on Tuesday AM. I am probably going to have to fly from Rutland. I would love to have my car but if I do that I have to drive to PA and then To NY and then back to Boston...it is head spinning trying to figure it out. I should just drive I suppose.
I am looking forward to spending the holidays with Chris. Decorating the apartment and tree is going to be fun and I am sure help make it a bit more homey. His family is going to join us for appetizers on Christmas days.
I had better get my cook on really quickly. :)
Cheese and Crackers anyone?
I am so excited to give gifts this year. The one I am most excited about is for Nicole and Joey. I spent roughly 25 hours working on it. It arrived yesterday and when I saw it I got misty eyed. I will tell you more about it after I give it to them, which I am doing tonight since they are going out to dinner and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do it. Since it is about family and they are going on for their anniversary.
Thats pretty much all thats happening. Not very exciting. Looking forward to seeing my sister and her family over the holidays that is for sure. I love this time of year. Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday.

New Apartment Pictures.
We made it. After almost 9 hours in the U-haul we pulled in and parked.
Spent the first night on the floor.. well Chris did I got the twin inflatable. You should have seen the look on his face when I said "did I mention that this is a twin inflatable?" priceless. LONG LONG LONG two days. Our apartment is up three flights of stairs thank goodness I hired help. They were great and had everything up in about an hour and a half.
Here are some pictures of our new place. Mind you there are still boxes piled high in the guest room waiting to be unpacked. But, I am sadly headed back to Boston today. But, I miss my kids too !

Friend
i got off the phone tonight with a friend and realized that sometimes I am not the best friend.
But, it is not intentional. Yes, I can be selfish and self-centered. I know that.
But really I don't mean it. I love my friends and value them for who they are and the relationships we have, whether they are constant or have fallen a little to the side it doesn't make them any less amazing in my book.
Because yes, my friends are amazing.

Moving
As so of you know I am pulling up my tent stakes and moving. I know SURPRISE SURPRISE!
I am sure you are thinking again? It seems my hobbies are moving, partially unpacking, and then repacking and moving again.
So being true to my self yes I am moving again.
Ironically as I was thinking to myself yesterday, WOW! six more weeks in this place I had better hurry and turn this spare room into a guest room. Just so I can find things more readily when I pack them up, a feeling of excitement came over me.
I am really excited about this.
A new place, a new town, no more claw living above me, no more moths... this is going to be a good thing.
Lots of good things are happening.
My sister and Jack are coming to visit Thursday.
My mom is coming Friday.
My Father and Kathy my also be heading to Beantown as well.
I know there are loads more things to share with you but now is not the time.
I am working... very hard.

Are We That Immature That We Post Insults Through Facebook?
So this is really annoying me.
As many of you know ions ago I dated Rick. We broke up yet remained friends. He and I have been through a lot. But manage to keep in touch from time to time.
Well, as many of you know I am not stellar at keeping in touch but it doesnt mean I don't love you any less. *Disclaimer*
So, last night I had an MRI because I have been having these vicious headaches. I was lucky enough to see my scans last night and see all the different dimensions of my brain. It was pretty cool.
So I status updated that I had seen scans of my brain- Mistake # 1
I get all sorts of responses.
A couple of Which were from Rick making snide remarks on how I had finally found a brain, how I was crazy, calling me a loon...yadda yadda. So someone else also cracks a joke about them actually finding my brain to which Rick replies I know right.
Well that pissed me off.
BACKSTORY-
I had read a few weeks ago on his FB that he was having some back trouble I did ask what was going on, no response.
Also he mentioned the day before yesterday something about his MRI to which I also wrote "Mine's tomorrow".
So I feel I did make a slight effort to find out what the story was and he should have known that I was having an MRI...
ANYWAY
I texted him this morning and was like I don't think you cracking jokes at the expense of my brain MRI is that funny.
To which he sends a barrage of messages telling me how self-righteous I am only thinking about myself and how I should get a life or a sense of humor and that He was not in the mood for dealing with self indulgent people... That I made no effort to contact him when he was dealing with his back issues and paralysis... Which I did not know about.
THEN
He posts a wall posting on my FB saying the same thing. What a horrible person I am...
SERIOUSLY what are we twelve? You need to post our tiff on FB?
Anyway I am done venting about it.
Thanks for listening.
I need to go think about myself a little more.

I WIll Not WEBMD I Will Not WEBMD I Will Not WEBMD
So, I just need to keep chanting this to refrain from accessing the world of too much information that sends me into OH MY GOD I have.... mode!
My lymph node is again swollen and sore for the third time since August. I noticed last Sat that it seemed a bit tender and then at dinner the other night I think I may have had a chair rail rammed into it. It is completely sore to the touch. I know I have been fighting off some weird illness for weeks now since I am so exhausted I can barely scrap myself out of bed everyday and my brain literally makes me say words I don't intend to say. It is like some random boggle game going on in my head sometimes.
I am headed to my Dr on Tuesday so maybe she will figure out what it is. I still say it is all Lyme related but I haven't been able to get a clean test since I have been on antibiotic for this and that for so long.
All I know is my leg is sore, my lymph node is sore and my brain is not working properly oh and did I mention the headaches.

Quick Visit From Mary Grace and Tim
So yesterday I was visited by Mary Grace and Tim after their plane landed in Boston. They are in town from Aston Rowant, UK for MG's 10 year college reunion. They stopped by Nicole and Joeys with 3 lb. of Cadbury Dairy ilk and a HUGE bottle of Robena in tow. It was great to see them even if it was very brief.
