so unbelievably glad the holidays are over. first post of the new year, and one of my resolutions is to make a little more time to do things like this. another one is to find a new job, since there's really not a great one between the current two that i have: one is cutting hours left and right and the other is threatening a stripper pole install... i think it's officially time to blow the dust off the ol' resume.
yeah, so about these goals i mentioned in my first post...
running: i have to renew my membership to the local rec center, which i plan to do tomorrow before work, so i can get back on the ball and start to learn to run. i also decided that i need to lose 10 pounds. no more, no less. whiskey is making me a little squishy in the belly, and it reminds me of when i was pregnant, and that's never a good thing. you know what i mean if you've been pregnant. in fact, the last time i weighed as much as i do at this moment, i was pregnant. none of this is good. so yeah, mckie, here i come. i'm also vowing to myself to jump rope at least 3x a week, so i'm currently trying to find the best spot in my house to do this. so far, it's looking like my bedroom is the front runner, since it's carpeted. it's easier to jump without the falsie [since i'm a transfemoral sort, the 'why' is explained best here], and carpet will allow me to jump without shoes [shoes are hard to hop in], all while not eff-ing up my only good leg.
debt: the identity theft thing is at a bit of a stop at the moment, mostly due to having a child and amazing boyfriend to buy christmas gifts for and the fact that both jobs were a little light on hours in the month of december. i'd like to find a new job before the spring so i can get back to this and start paying things off liberally. i'm so over it. not being able to replace my car or buy my house is really starting to take its toll on me.
printing: not a letterpress, per se, but amazing michael got me a print gocco [as well as some other fantastic things] for christmas. i can't wait to get this thing crackin'! i have been researching, and people have done some really amazing things with it - i can't wait to try my first piece with the gocco and the letterpress together. i think it'll be stunning. i just got a sweet metal robin's-egg-blue recipe box, so i think for now, the first [no letterpress] project we're going to do might be some recipe cards, as the ones i've seen around are lametown. as soon as they are printed, i will post them for you to see. :)
ok, sleepy time. gotta get up at a decent hour to renew at the mckie, get some coffee, track down one of my bosses to have a come to jesus about the stripper pole and get to work by 3. sweet dreams to you all - i know i'll be nice and cozy next to amazing michael here in about 3 minutes.
happy new year.
