Congratulations and Catching up!

So here we are again, another month and a half has come and gone without a blog post. This is becoming a theme around here,and not one that I am proud of, but I think I MAY have solved it today!

Most of the problem has been the lack of a computer to post from...when I left Chicago, I took our laptop but there was some insanity and I couldn't take it anymore...so I was the bigger person and sent it back. Well folks, computers, like money, do not grow on trees...and I have not been able to afford one. I still can't. What I DID find today was a kickASS deal on an Android netbook...so here we are :)

In the last 45 days:
I have moved from a temporary room, back into a more permanent and comfortable situation in my old  childhood room...its not half bad. Oscar likes it too.

 I have gotten my 5th paycheck at work, which means I have been there fora little over ten weeks. I've re-certified all of my necessary courses, and I'm still digging it!

I turned 28 on May 4th....and the verdict is still out on how I feel about it. I have started sleeping less than 4 hours per night :(

My best good friend, Matt and his wife, Gioia gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Jackson!!! While they were at the hospital I surprised myself by caring for their 8 and 6 year olds for 3 days, alone...and doing a damn good job! And last night cared for, baby Jax from 9pm to 4am to give his poor Momma break!

 Went on a real date

Watched my BABY sister graduate from college, and helped my parents throw her a pretty sweet par-tay! (more on that later)

Probably more sweet stuff I cant remember right now :)

And so my friends...now that I have my computer problem fixed, I'm going to TRY not to go another 45 days without blogging and FINALLY try and get around to blogging all of the kick ass projects that I have been working on, including all of the decorations and awesomeness that was Hannah's grad party!

Have tablet will travel...

I may have finally solved my no computer/net issues...which is why there has been such a lack in blogging! More lateron this week  as  I figure all this new technology out!

Much love!
Whem and Oscar,the snores-like-a-grown-man-Dachshund

Its good to be home

 

Thanks for keepin' it real, Fauquier county...I've missed you!

Whoa!

Whoa is right...I drooled on myself a little when I saw this picture. I just found this chocolate Whopper cake on pintrest and I cannot WAIT to make it! I know just the right birthday coming up to do it for too!

Speaking of birthdays, am I REALLY turning 28 in 2 weeks? Whoa!

I'm really OK with 28. I know its that much closer to 30, but this year is about new beginnings, and rebuilding myself, and I think that 28 will suit me just fine :)

I got an email asking about Oscar, he is doing well. He regrets to inform you all that he is back to sleeping in a crate most nights. His mean old Momma has decided that trying to share a twin sized bed with a very selfish doxie is just too hard on nights when she has to get up and go to work in the morning!

When we get our own place, I will have a queen bed again, and he will regain his bed time privileges.

Updates Updates Updates!

It's been a few weeks...my bad.

My new job is going really well so far. I like the girls I work with, and the doctor is very knowledgeable, willing to teach, and has a sense of humor..which ALWAYS helps!! It is a LOT slower than CCI, but in a way, that is good. They are just now transitioning to electronic medical records, so it is good to be slower during that, than to be slammed like we were up there! I think that this doctor has some big dreams and with the right staff we could be right up there with some of the larger groups in the area within a few years!

Oscar is doing well. He has taken to lots of crying and whining when I am not home, which my parents are sister LOVE...not really sure what to do about that, but open to ANY suggestions! What can I say, my boy LOVES his momma!

Another thing that I can FINALLY get out there in the open is that one of my very best friends, Matt, and his girlfriend (soon to be wifey...next weekend) are expecting a baby boy on May 5! I've known for a long time, but due to some issues with his divorce and some other nonsense, I've had to keep it to myself. I am SOO excited for Aron and Jason to have a baby brother, and I can't wait to meet baby Komar #3!

Here is a little question for all of you out there in bloggy land...how soon after a separation is it OK to start seeing someone else? Don't get any crazy ideas...just a question! It's hard, because you are not technically single, but in my heart, my marriage was over a LONG time ago...so what is the right answer? Any thoughts?

I wish I had pictures to share today, but sadly not even Oscar has been willing to sit in front of the camera! Maybe next week :)

Happy Monday!

Wiener dogs on Wednesday!

I think it's time to bring this back! I had it on www.Rosenberghfam.blogspot.com and although unfortunately my Lyla bug is still in Chicago, Oscar is here to stay and ready to be in the spotlight for some Wednesday blog posts!!

Some of you may be wondering how the little man is doing without his sister, and how he has adjusted to the move and everything, and to that I am happy to report that he is doing great!
1. We are very fortunate to be living with my mom and dad right now, who have 3 Italian greyhounds. While I wouldn't say that Oscar is exactly "friends" with them, I think he likes having them around.

2. He is now on a once a day feeding schedule, since they are...and he really seems to be doing well with that! He has lost some weight and seems to actually EAT his food when it is dinner time, instead of just picking at it.

3. He and I have both been exercising more and walking at night too, since my parents neighborhood was basically built for dog walking...its 1 mile exactly all the way around and has sidewalks and friendly people.

4.  Oh, and the best part...since Lyla was not very trustworthy in the house alone, both dogs were in the crate at night, every night. Lyla had a tendency to pee on our bed, on the couch...pretty much anywhere she pleased, but Oscar never has accidents. So what does that mean? He gets to sleep in my bed with me...every night, this dog is in heaven!

Poor thing looks miserable, doesn't he?

Got that J-O-B!

It's true...I got a job, and one that I feel I am just PERFECT for, so I can't wait to start and see where this new adventure brings me!

I was pretty OK with the fact that I probably was not going to find something for a cardiologist, since that is such a specialized field, and I was also aware that since I am in the health care field, that I was probably going to have to start working weekends, so when I was offered a full time position, in a cardiologists office, with benefits, and no weekends...you can imagine me picking my jaw up off of the floor!

There are several other advantages too, like it being literally across the street from the nephews school, about 20 minutes from the house that I would like to rent, and it being attached to a hospital, which means that my dad ,the funeral director, may get to pop in from time to time when he is  there for um, business, yes...business =) ha ha.

All that being said, I REALLY miss my old job, and I realized that I will start my new job on March 26th, which is the EXACT date 3 years ago that I started with Chicago Cardiology Institute...man, I miss you guys!!! Here are a few pictures that I managed to get in on my very busy last day!
