I forgot to add that I sent in my absentee ballot to the state of Virginia (oh, Virginia, how I miss thee) and made it official.  The husband did, too.  I am proud to say that I voted for Obama.  I will be anxious to hear how things go in Virginia, since it is still up in the air state.  My brother-in-law got to see him in Richmond last week, pretty cool stuff.  Please, America, make the right decision.  Just because you are a registered republican DOES NOT MEAN you have to vote for McCain.  Break the cycle.  Decide who you think is the most qualified.

Yeah, so it’s definately been quite some time since I have even signed onto this page.  Sorry.  Been real busy these days.  I started a new job in late August and I hit the ground running with it.  I have to say I absolutely love this job but it keeps me so busy I have no time for practically anything else.  Quite a stark contrast to my last job where I spent most of my day trying to find things to keep me busy for 8 hours since our numbers were overall lower than they had ever been.  Free counseling doesn’t appeal to those on the welfare system I guess.  Anyhoo, bygones and such, I moved on to a better job opportunity that I have really enjoyed.  I have gotten to work with some amazing clinicians and have met some of the coolest clients who are trying to get over some powerful addictions while dealing with mental illnesses.  MY clients are very brave people.  Plus, I am taking a class at the U of M that is kicking my butt and it is the last class I will ever need for my licensure so it also takes precident.  So, I had to unfortunately take a break from the GSO (Germantown Symphony Orchestra) this semester which I hated to do.  Luckily in January I am headed back to rehearsals. 

The husband remains super busy with all his school work and is now in the very fun process of deciding what to write his disseratation on.  Glimpses of next year look less fun for us, but I will be very busy with my own stuff I guess.

I haven’t really been watching too much TV lately, but there is one show I absolutely love and make a point every Thursday night to see.  I’m talking about a sleeper show on the CW called Supernatural.  I have LOVED this show since it began in 2005 and this season is one of the best.  The husband watches it as well with me and we agree it is brilliant and funny with tons of scary mixed in.  Last Thursday ended with one of the funniest out-takes ever seen.  Go to You tube and type in Jensen Ackles Eye of the Tiger and watch this guy improve when the cameras are still rolling.  Funniest.  Shit.  Ever.  This guy deserves some major recognition for his acting chops.  Every time he is on the screen you cannot help but revel in his talent. And he’s hot which never hurts…

Lots of events are coming up in the next month…my two year wedding anniversay is on the 5th, my sister tursn 30 on the 9th, her daughter turns 2 on the 11th (and I get to be in Maryland for both their b-days!!!), my birthday is on the 14th and the husband’s is on the 16th. I should probably be shopping instead of writing…

In case anyone is wondering about the diet I was on/am still on, I pretty much hit my goal weight of 125ish and had to buy some new pants because I went down a dress size.  The husband lost all his weight he wanted to lose and looks great!!  Even better, we have totally changed the way we eat and are making much better choices.  Weight Watchers points definately work if you do it right.  I’m proud of the both of us!!
