Playing catch up

You Are a Chimera

You are very outgoing and well connected to many people. Incredibly devoted to your family and friends, you find purpose in nurturing others. You are rarely alone, and you do best in the company of others. You are incredibly expressive, and people are sometimes overwhelmed by your strong emotions.

What Mythological Creature Are You?

I figured it had been a while since I last updated, and so it was time to play some catch up. I don't really feel like I have a lot to write about though.

I can't remember if I touched on our camping trip in my last post. That was a lot of fun - the Hancock Old Home Days was a good time, but I was sad that my family, due to circumstances beyond anyones control, had to cancel our family reunion that usually happens that weekend. But Old Home Day's was still fun. We had fun cooking at the campground on the open fire - we ate more s'mores than I care to think about! I guess that's part of the fun of camping though. We had a massive thunderstorm move through the last night we were there. Poor Chris and Kim - everything in their tent got soaked! And our poor dog, he was such a good sport. We had to keep him in his crate all morning because he was soaked and it was pouring out! So when John and I were finally at the camp ground long enough, we let him get into the car and we turned the heat on. Then he was finally happy!

Work is still... work. I had a 6 month review, in which my boss basically said I was doing a good job. Just a couple of things to work on. We had this discussion about how I'm finding that I have some days that I just don't want to come into work the next day, and then some that make me really love this job. Now I need to try to be attuned to what makes a day fall into one of those categories. I've decided that when my year is up, or almost up, I am going to start looking for a new job. This is not the job I was meant for, and you know? That's okay with me. I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't done it. So now all I can do is go in, do this job as best as I can, and go from there. Who knows, maybe something will happen in the next 4 months that will make me really love the job...

Yesterday we took John back to school shopping. I picked up a couple of shirts for myself. It was fun though! Friday was his birthday, so I took the day off from work, we registered our cars, then went up to Ogunquit for the day. We played two rounds of mini golf at Wonder Mountain - they have two courses there and we played them both. I got 3 holes in one! And John got 2! It was so cool. Then we went down to the beach and found two really huge shells. Next it was on to Perkins Cove, where we spent over $8 in the candy store. I LOVE that store. Maybe I'll have some salt water taffy for breakfast... mmmm. That night we hit up Margaritas in Portsmouth for dinner. Also mmmmm. =) I've had a really awesome weekend with my husband this weekend. It great when you feel so connected to someone - and that's exactly how I felt. I have felt very in tune with him this weekend, and that we were on the same page the whole time. It is SOOOO nice when that happens. Plus, it helps that I got a few unexpected but very welcome comments from him. He told me how beautiful I was the other night. It's not that I don't think he thinks it, it's that he doesn't say it! I almost cried from happiness when he said it. Then yesterday he told me he was proud of me for the financial decisions I'd been making. Not that I didn't think I deserved those too, but it's not often that I hear that type of thing from him. Keep it coming! My self esteem has needed those kinds of compliments lately.

I guess that's about all from here. I'm gonna go watch infomercials on TV and feed Kane...
