May Update

April showers bring May flowers... eh... not a lot of rain in April, no complaints, but the world is green and flowers in bloom. 

The weather has been warm lately... 90 degrees this weekend!  The nights are gorgeous and even the days aren't bad.  OY.. wouldn't have been so bad except my A/C is out... again.  Since moving from Utah, my poor Montero has been through 4... yes FOUR... A/C belts.  Its starts off with squealing... off and on.  The eventually its just gone.  Everytime I take it in, to different places even, I get the "we've looked at everything, blah, blah, blah, looks fine, we tightened this or that, and put a new belt on.  You should be fine."  Guess what.... NOT FINE.  So, I'm going to try a different tact this time... rather than go to a chain store, I will (eventually) take it to a a friend's mechanic and beg that they tell me WHY it keeps going through belts.  Replacing the belt is the least of my worries.  It'll be awhile before I can swing it in the $$$ dept, hopefully not all summer (ugh-o-ramma!)

Fortunately if that's what I have to worry most about, I'm in pretty good shape!  lol 

Let's see... I decided to NOT sign a new lease for my apt and will be moving at the end of June.  With the uncertainty of the job sitch, I just wasn't comfortable signing a new one. So, I'm going to throw my stuff in storage and move in with some friends that rent the third level of their home.  Its a better deal financially and I'm not tied into a lease.  And if I DO end up staying here for a few years, I will take some time to find a place that's a little bigger and brighter (seriously, brighter, as in windows and open kitchen). 

I've been doing Weight Watchers for four months now... and I've lost 16.2 lbs.  Of course, I wish that number were at least doubled... but this seems to be the speed at which my body wants to lose it.  And now that the weather has turned,  I will start walking and enjoying all the 'green' outside.  That's help too.  So, I'm enjoying my loss and look forward to more... I'm hoping another 10 before I go home in July for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. 

On a completely silly note, I have been wearing my hair curly... I forget just how curly it really is!  I started doing it because I needed to get my hair done (cut and color) and had to cancel my previous appt.  So, I thought - eh, let it go, it'll hide the split ends...lol 

And... that's about it... things are just chuggin' along... more later. :)
