Poetic Frog

I’m going through one of those “rainy day” moments in life. I’m trying to be happy and optimistic but several things have happened lately that just irritates me and it’s one of those situations where it’s done, it’s over, but I feel like I never had my say. I never got to speak my mind about it and now I can’t go back and say anything without looking like the ‘troublemaker’ or the ‘whiny’ person. In fact, I didn’t even realize what was happening until it was over! Now I feel like I’m the door mat once again…”oh Mindy, she’ll get over it. She always does!”.

I hate to speak my mind and cause trouble but at the same time, I hate it when I can’t muster up the courage to speak up for myself.

Just wanted to blog and let you guys know that I am starting to feel better. For those who don’t know, my whole family has been sick for almost 2 weeks with a severe cold. Morgan and I are on the mend….hubby is still having a rough time with it.

I got my diploma a few days ago! I’m so proud of that piece of paper that it’s ridiculous! I never thought I would get a college degree and now I have one AND I even graduated with high honors! I try not to boast but dang it, I think I deserved this one!

I’m still working at the college as a work-study. I love that job and I’m going to be so sad when May gets here and it ends. May will be a great month and a sad month all at the same time. I will celebrate my birthday and I will get to walk in the Graduation ceremony…but my job will be over. I’m hoping that they will keep me on a temp but I’m also looking at available jobs just in case that doesn’t work out.

My mom got a Wii and Wii Fit a few days ago and I finally got to go over and work out on it today! I’m addicted! That thing is sooo much fun! I was surprised at my weight and BMI – it said that my weight is 125 and my BMI is 22 – both in the healthy range for my height. I also scored a 30 in my wii age…my exact age! I’m hoping that we will be able to get a wii now so I can get wii fit! I set my goal to lose 8 pounds in two months. I’m not overweight but I want to get to 120 – I feel more like myself when I’m around that weight. The cholesterol diet completely sucks but I have to admit that it’s helping me lose weight fairly quickly!

Not really a post, just a note to myself that I washed my QBee quilt today. It’s a shame….every time I get up to 100 patches collected, people leave the QBee and I fall below again. Pooh.
