There's always a bright light at the end you just have to see through the muck to find it.

Obviously it's been a while since I last posted and I should apologize for that. I've been dealing with life and wondering when things will get easier. My family life is less then boring. My sister and I are still not talking, my brother is going through a "custody" battle with his ex. Funny thing... it's not actually for custody it's more for child support. Custody wasn't even mentioned in the filing. You would think that someone who graduated from Brown would have thought about the wording and the details before getting a lawyer. I guess we'll see what happens in October when they have the hearing. Hopefully I will get to see my niece again soon.

As for my home life... I've decided that I live better when I live alone. I ended up asking my roommate to leave because I wanted my house back to myself. Selfish? Probably, but I was going insane.

With all of this going on I've still managed to get Play Dates for Adults off to a huge start. I finally worked out some of the kinks and now I have a fully functional site that allows people to sign on. I'm very excited and now I just need to get it to where all my members log into this site instead of the old one. Plus I'll be able to get other locations up and running soon. It's very exciting!

It's things like this that make me feel like even when life isn't going well you can have a turn of events that work out in your favor. I'm hoping for more and more good news to start coming my way :)

This is the first Sunday in a long time that I've been able to sit back and relax without any events. Well, I suppose "relax" isn't the right word. I've been working all day in the yard and in the kitchen getting everything sorted. Finally I can see a counter top and actually USE it. Still it was nice to just do things around the house and outside.

My roommate and I went next door and got facials done from Mary Kay products. They have a lot of cool stuff since I last tried them out at 16yrs old. They have these new perfumes which smell amazing. One smelled so good in the bottle, but once I put it on it made me smell like a guy. It was funny because it would be a great cologne for a guy if it smelled the same way on him, but I doubt it would since it was my body chemistry that changed the smell. The Bella scent was my favorite. I'm going to have to ask for that for Christmas. Oh my god it smelled so delicious. As for buying stuff, I only ended up getting a few things. I get a lot of freebies from my sister since she gets them from work. Gotta love Bare Essentials.

I suppose I should get back to my work homework and packing for my trip to Ft. Myers. I will be having my second and third Play Dates event there for the Ft. Myers location. I'm very excited! We've come a long way from having just one location for the past 1.5 years. Now I just need to get more people involved in the Ft. Myers location.

Hope you all have a great Sunday afternoon!

I can't believe I'm having to do this AGAIN! Ugh. In November of 2008 I started a diet with my doctor and by the end of the summer I had lost 55lbs. Now, I haven't gained it all back by any means, but I have put on some weight that I DON'T want. So here I go again. This time it's without the doctor and I'm hoping that I can be strict with myself and maintain the same eating techniques/habits.

It's day 2 of the diet and so far the Wii Fit is telling me that I've lost 2.1 lbs. As we all know that's probably just water weight from the lack of sodium that I've been taking in. Either way it's good to see it move in the right direction. Hopefully tomorrow I'll still be on the same track.

Now some of you are probably concerned about me getting on the scale everyday, but for me it works. I did this for a year and it REALLY helped me figure out what was going on with my body. You forget what's going on after a while on the diet and it's good to keep track. Some may do it by writing their food down and some do it by exercising. I personally count calories, protein, keep sugar under 10 grams per serving of food, and I check my weight daily. I also drink the hell out of these low sugar protein shakes. OMG! I love the Proticcino shake. http://mydietshop.com/  I won't get any referral bonus or anything, but if you decide to order from them I would appreciate it if you let them know that you found it on my website.

Now for an update on the roommate status. Things are good. I love having someone in the house with me. Especially someone who I can relate to. She and I have similar eating habits, daily stories, and similar opinions on many subjects. The best part is we have opposite taste when it comes to dating. That helps out a lot when we go out to the bar or to one of my Play Date events.

Hope everyone is having a great week! Stay focused and pursue that job that you've been dreading. I just cleaned my desk. It took me all day!

It's been a week since I started blogging and it's made me feel as though I should be more productive. More productive so I can have something to say when I actually blog. :)

So over the last week I've made it official and I've cleared a full time venue for our volleyball events at Grass Flats. The Play Dates for Adults website is starting to get more hits and I'm promoting it more and more each day. I've even set up more events for this month and next so people will know what to expect from the group. Hopefully by next month I will clear 300 members and well over 200 visits to the site a day.

I was having problems with my stupid Black Berry Tour that I purchased last August. I've contacted Verizon for over 6 months with the issues and all they kept doing was sending me a new BB Tour instead of a different brand of phone like I requested. After a long battle and some help from one of the Play Mates in the group I was guided in the right direction and I was able to get a new Droid at no charge. I'm making this sound easy and I have to promise it was nothing of the sort. I went for months fighting with Verizon over this issue and I had all the intentions of leaving by June, but with the right help and with the right attitude I was able to get a solution that I could live with. YAY!

I've got a roommate moving in this weekend. I'm actually excited for this person to move in because I could use the company in this big house. I'm not here very much as it is and with someone living here I would feel better about leaving my cats for my business trips. Plus it's always nice to have someone to bitch to when life gets in the way of life. So Saturday is the big moving day! Should be fun!

Well, I'm going to make myself my own chai tea latte. I figured I love Starbuck's so much that to save some money and an extra plastic cup I would try to make my own chai tea at least once a day. Let's see how long this will last.
